Jus negodu... So Niger Republicans are part of Nigerian election campaigns... In other words election will definitely go on in their states

This what we have been saying. Buhari plans to annex Nigeria to his Brothers in Niger. Afonjas wont see this now. What an insult, how can Nigeriens be in charge of affairs of Nigeria? Afonja can now see why we are the laughing stock of Africa.
imagine ordinary Niger? Niger that cant even stand where Cameroun or Togo are, are the ones running the affairs of Nigeria now. what a shame and disgrace. A country that produced the likes of Wole Soyinka, Emeageali and all, being run by Nigeriens? Nigeria is finished. We are no longer even in the leagues of South Africa and so on, we have been reduced to the level of Niger and Chad.
You are online celebrating Buharis Kano visit, not knwing almost half that stadium is filled up by Nigeriens and chadians. Those supporting Buhari are just a disgrace.
