I tell u. We've gone numb with bad news. It has now become the norm and order of the day as long as Nigeria is concerned. We are all reaping the poisonous fruits of retrogression that evil Britain came and planted in the niger area. It is what is manifesting in Nigeria today...

LOBATAN!

Welcome development

Ban Nigeria as a country

Is there a way for the universe to ban this "quantri" from planet earth?

And so
Who cares
Bleep FIFA

Those are El Rufais boys APC agents. Tell us why there were no stewards there?
