Useless Sheik Gumi....


Where at thou? Come and defend your people and explain to us (unto mumu wey we be) how many billions of our OWN oil money needs to be paid to terrorists because "its not their fault". And some animals have the audacity to call kanu a mad man for stating NO prisoner deserves to be in jail if terrorists are granted amnesty.

These animals rape,kill,rob and kidnap....is there any crime in our constitution worse than that? This is a country where a goat thief spends 28 years awaiting trial.

And you think there can be peace? " Dialogue" preachers, where at thou?

Don't disturb our Sheikhspeare. He is somewhere coining another nice poetry titled "Bandits are not criminal. They are paramedics".
