Don't be ridiculous lots, he is coming to my quarter to provide adminstrative and infantry know-how to my foot soldiers in anticipation of the incoming conquest.

I thought he would live forever.

Nigerian political leaders live like there is no tommorow.

Will he transcend to eternal glory with all the money he might have stolen?

Rest in peace �️
