This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

Ondo state and bad news na 5 and 6

If it's not the story of their Fulani masters raping and killing them today, na Lassa fever tomorrow.

Federal Government should just convert the useless state to a Covid 19 isolation center.
