It's Oti mkpu actually.

Dauda, we know you are bearing Okey as your name online to deceive people.

Well I would have said the tailors had been empowered if not that our government gives with right hand and collects with left hand.

Remember the N20,000 cash transfer, where the officials give N20,000 and after taking shots with the beneficiary, they collect it back and give N2,000 only?
