The greatest mind that has ever lived, said "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's"
But if you give what belongs to you, to Caesar he will still collect, this is exactly what's happening in our country, the silence of the oppressed, the lackadaisical behavior of the labour Congress and the "yobolitic" nature of the youth has rendered to Caesar the things which belongs to us. #happyworkersdayNG.
