Another Aboki in the hood

Illiterates everywhere


Even with the news of a southerner being appointed as DG of NCDC, you still see some people saying it’s Buhari’s brother.


Honestly some people needs to be erased from this country for us to have peace.

Despite how much Garba Shehu venerated this man saying he was fighting corruption at the NHIS and that that's why the workers have conspired to tarnish his image?

On another note, how come he wasn't replaced by an Urhobo, Edo, Yoruba, etc - person, but Kemi Adeosun was replaced by a Hausa-Fulani?

Hoping for a better Nigeria

Ooooh...so you can still sack him. Very useless president. Mr Buhari, Nigerians are waiting for the new minimum wage

Baba is so slow, why did it take so long to sack the man, a lot of damages has been done already. I pray and hope the appointment of board members won't take another one year.
The allegations on him are grave, he should be prosecuted wether APC member or not

Las las! Na wa o
