Anyone here who is a propagandist for any politician, is a wicked man. Anyone here who supports any of the thieving and lying politicians, is a wicked man and will suffer the consequences. Say amen.

Anyone that tries to stop anybody from legitimately criticising any of our politicians is a wicked man and will suffer the consequences. Say amen.

I do not support any politician and I will criticise every politician, including the one you support and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

This is my last post to you.

This also goes to you VULCAN

I don't like to swear and since you have declared that you do not support any politician, let's call a truce and let God almighty be the one to judge if our political activities are been biased because of tribe or religion instead of competence, equity and justice.

I'm all out for competence, equity, justice and a better life in Nigeria and for Nigeria...

Mr man, I don't want to call any truce. Say amen to my prayer without any alteration. Is there anything for you to fear? If there's nothing to fear, then it shouldn't be hard to say amen.

It is very simple really.

There was a reggae music boom in Nigeria in the 1980s and 1990s. It was used as one of the vehicles in the fight against military rule in Nigeria and apartheid in South Africa. These are some of the biggest Nigerian reggae songs of the 1980s and 1990s. You can add more.
