Nice one there from Ngorr! BTW: How come all those people who never admitted that President Buhari was performing poorly suddenly realized that Nigeria was fairing better under Professor Osinbajo? It means their support for Buhari all the while had been based on sentiments; and they still wanted him to remain in power at the expense of the lives of Nigerians. I really shake my head for some so-called educated people that make up this geographical entity called "Nigeria" 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Shortyy:She won't be happy with this bastardization of her name. She called out one presenter in the US who shortened her name to Amanda. She says her name is Chimamanda and nothing else. if you can't call it the way she wants then she'd rather you don't call her something else. 9 Likes 1 Share |
