yea, first good news abt Nigeria this week.

We want someone with an african accent as Vice-President or President of the United states. To begin, all africans in the USA should start running for governor or senator.As you can see we target the stars not the top of a hill in Utah.

Very nice.

It must be Yoruba of course!
A silver lining in the dreary cloud of DOOM!
God bless America. . . my home sweeeetest home!

No news of 'husband and children'. . . the pre-occupation of mostly illiterate NIGEIRAN WOMEN!
Congratulations madam!
