this country and corruption

Akpabio's settlement

Akpabio's settlements

You would hardly feel the presence of NDDC in the region for the purpose of the commission being set up. But they will always dole out cash to their staff in form of embezzlement.

Until we have capital punishment for all sort of corruption , which is not looking feasible . Nigeria will remain under developed.

No wonder Akpabio lost interest in continuing his Senate ambition after he was put in charge of NDDC.. D massive looting, stealing and corruption dis govt is overseeing will make d Devil demand an apology

NDDC? I am not surprised

Nddc Is A Looters Dane Right From Time. Just Imagine Taking Their Share Before Our Vary Eye. Without Any Project.
