If truly the pipeline vandals are the victim of the ugly inferno, then I would say it serves them right. At these set of economic terrorists are gone for good. Let's know we have the religious terrorists to combat in Nigeria

Too many evil people in Nigeria. Economic saboteurs.

This is Stupidity and Not Poverty. PMS is highly Inflamable.


But even tho I don't Believe Poverty Might lead to Pipe line Vandalism.

BUT POVERTY NA BASTARD.

Our politicians, ministers, Directors of ministries stealing Billions of Naira with a Biro in An Air Conditioned Office God Would Judge You All.

Youth Revolution?
