Did he grduate? Hellz No Enough of all this Wole finished with a third class degree crap. Professor Soyinka is a First class brain. |

It is you people that share our codes to impostors. NCMs have been working hard tracking all sorts of fake posts and you are the ones making it difficult... 1/2W... as an NCM, I am advising that the author of all the pyrate related posts above removes them NOW. Go and post it at the CAP . . . Remember your #3 |
