Dominate Google page one with your business see results in my profile guaranteed

This is Nigeria for you.
Really a Shit-hole country.

Whatttt!!

Yet They say BAIL IS FREE

Police is your friend, bail is free, the APC has fulfilled virtually all of its 2015 campaign promises, Buhari is fighting corruption, children are the leaders of tomorrow . . . Feel free to add yours

"Bail is free"... The biggest lie since 1960.

To even report a case at any police station nowadays, you need to go with cash, otherwise they may not even attend to you. That's the reality of the Nigerian public system. Nobody wants to work for what they're earning salaries for.

Indiscipline is the order of the day.

RIP to the dead. May God grant his family strength and hope to bear the loss.

Bail is free indeed! Expecting a report from the Nigeria police why this man bail isn't free.

the things that can kill someone in Nigeria is just too plenty

Bail Is Free

The biggest lie of all time. Even "I no follow" cannot go home free of charge.

Nigeria police will come and deny the news now! let's wait small

Bail is not Free

R.I.P to the dead

This is serious.

That's Nigeria for us. You see in Nigeria there over 1 millions ways to die

and they said bail is free

Survival of the fittest

I thought bail was free?....

Oh no. What crime did he commit?

If you find yourself or your loved one in this kind of situation, come to CHOSEN, don't hesitate. Even if it's in abroad/overseas they're improsoned

The dpo should be dismissed with immediate alacrity.

Same 20k when olosho dey collect steady for lying down.
Do yahoo una no hear...hustle hard una no hear.
How many people on niaraland can pay an emergency 100k to save their life.

Be there let pastors deceive you that money is the root of evil while collecting it from you.

Youths dont be deceived Make money no matter the cost...its get rich or die trying...

Even the IGP knows bail isn't free. All the DPOs can't claim ignorance.

Nigeria always giving me a reason to think this country is a failure

Poverty stinking everywhere. Ordinary 20k becomes a mountain to climb and lose of life.

It's well with the family and friends of the deceased
