Are you minding the clever-by-half people. They think other nation-states within this geographical expression called Nigeria are mumu!!!

Yesterday, it was an ex-militant they were engaging to man the coast, today another set of militants are "private" pilots.

Let them keep hiding behind one finger, till they reach the point of no return cool cool cool

kunlekunle: abi this guy they plan ahead
