That woman folarunsho alakrija, what is she doing there?? If she can be there, then add Babangida and Obasanjo's name too.
She is a benefactor of looting and misappropriation of national resources. We should stop making her popular by recognising her in lists like this.
This list should contain hustlers and not people who accepted "oil block gifts in good faith ".
