Family Matters E know concern us but RIP to the lost

Government should let us know if this killing and kidnapping have come to stay, if yes they should amend the constitution for it if no they should rescue the nation

The lives of animals are more secured than that of men these days. People are living dangerously these days thanks to hardship and insecurity. No one knows what can happen at any point in time.

R. I. P

Ungun known men

RIP to him... I pray they catch his killers

Hope Uzodimma at it again. The way he equipped EBube Agu with weapons, it will be difficult to have peace in that State

Death, please.

This is one of the reasons why most people express fear over the establishment of state policing!

...And that's why I believe state policing without it's outright independence from political actors is a recipe for disaster!
