Hmmm I hope this is not true and just another media propaganda because Naija has more than enough problems to sort out that need money, so we can't be giving to others when our own don't have. There are thousands of unemployed graduates walking the streets n if part of the monetary equivalent of those cars are given to some of the unemployed, they can use it to start a little biz. Charity they say begins at home. |
