e dey pain you or e dey sweet you?

I see pictures of people but not pictures of projects, completed or in process.

All these Supreme Court governors should always try to work and make the people say Awwwww, see what we would have missed. But they keep disappointing.

Except for Zamfara governor sha.

Hope Uzodimma is even the worst.

Appointments of over nine thousand political aides.
