Sadly I feel no emotions.


Vulture meat seller's darling bubu told us they have restored peace to the North.
Probably another north I'm sure.
The true northerners we know are too sophisticated to rule every other tribe inferior to them. Not this one.
This can only be PDP trying to tarnish the image of this awesome government.



Person above me is a mad man on the loose.
He was reported missing from yabaleft on Monday morning. There is also a bounty on his head.

Oga ooooooo

Thursday night, September 16. Am confused.



Anyway, RIP to the dead

Good job. All of us must suffer. DSS shoild invite the kidnappers

This is serious

Gidan madi Sokoto was a peaceful town and 1 of the best in Sokoto state till year 2019. They firstly attacked the 30 House Estate where the the former DPO, NYSC LODGE, NSCDC LODGE etc were reside back then. The attack started around 10pm till around 2am. My PPA was gidanmadi back den and all we were thinking of that night was death because the shooting was so intense that loud and everywhere was on fire. I have never been dat scared in my life b4. 2019 in gidan madi Sokoto was a hell for me and others. May almighty God heal the land

Any body still supporting this administration is worse than the devil...

Buhari has absolutely nothing to offer...
Boko haram has already overun the north while those captured are released back into the society..

I urge the FG to release these terrorists only in the south west especially in burdillon... Where bullion vans full of looted finds are kept..

Nna eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated
