It is OBVIOUS that BAD GOVERNANCE kept NIGERIA where it is today.

So If u deduce from the above statement, it implies that The NORTHERNERS have always occupied the Juicy part Of governance since inception... that means they have always kept this COUNTRY at its pathetic state.

Just Imagine NIGERIA without ISLAM and Fulanis

BUHARI should as well probe WlLL SMITH for impersonation
