How come the man still has supporters? Some people have no shame.

Ournaija:

What a way to humble a man. A whole Ibori of Africa. I wouldn`t believe this, I must be dreaming. How I wish the same spirit that pushed him to UK can also push his mates to same place for money laundry. Since justice is not part of Nigerian culture, then it will be administered on her wayward children somewhere anyhow.
