This government is a useless government. They are really looking for what to hang on this Emefiele man. Emefiele was an heediot but he didn't act on his own accord. Imagine charging him for having pump action gun. Chai......

What is the relationship between possession of firearm and the hardship you mentioned ?

If the keys of emefiele should be thrown into the sea, where should they throw that of buhari into ?

Emancipate yourself from tribal, ethnic and religious slavery so that your brain can function properly
