The earlier you stop all the tribalistic bs, the earlier you start moving forward in life.

SAY NO TO TRIBALISM.

This is what your evil and wicked politicians have used in dividing lives and looting youths future and that of their unborn kids since independence.
Let the tribalistic and religious shenanigans stop here right now.
Be smart in life.

God bless Nigeria and all good, sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians.

We Rise.
