Idi Amin Amao

This man should have been arrested and jailed for life instead of being allowed to be celebrated for his many years of atrocious leadership of an air force. It was under his tenure that many military jets has been allegedly bombing civilians, sometimes in error and sometimes in suspicious circumstances to displace natives from their house in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a dungeon where criminals are celebrated.

Nice

i will be glad if the president can appoint abubakar sadiq as the new minister of defense.

I learnt he was a very nice and gallant administrator. Congratulations to him.

Hello nairaland guys! It's really been long since I last visited here.

Please I need help. I want to know which African country is advisable for one to relocate to.

My considerations;
1. It must not be a popular country.
2. It must be a peaceful country.
3. The cost of living should be low.
4. A country that is barely on the news.
