Everyday debt keeps pilling up.who is going to offset this debts? I only hope Nigeria still have what it takes to repay this debts when its time to pay back. Because most of this debts where owed owing to the fact that we have oil in our land. I honestly pray that this oil do not dry up before we know it. Our children yet unborn cannot be forced into another form of slavery as a result of the debt owed by this greedy looters.

God no go shame us
