Zoo country! I curse the day I was born into this zoo.
Argue with yourself, the fact remains that Nigeria is a zoo and shithole!

When his tenure is over another man that will fix and boom the economy will enter and Baba will regret putting her citizens into such suffering.

I don't blame Buhari ,I blame those idiots parading themselves​ as NLC /TUC chairman they have a golden opportunity to down tools before election but they collected bribe behind backdoor that is the more reason why govt did not take their threat seriously again

NLC have only themselves to blame, elections are long over.
