We have the best brains in Nigeria. Imagine 2 against 5 and they still came out well. At least some people are still making us proud. The only thing we lack in this country is good leadership.

Nigerians are sound folks. But how we end up continuously electing very unsound minds in positions of leadership surprises me.
Just imagine Bulgari below average by any standard expected to be d answer to Nigeria.
No wonder we are worst were we are today..
