Nice one from the IGP

Good.

Youths in the respective states should shun violence. Don't be used by the politicians who are only after winning the election not about your life

Election process in Nigeria always seeming like a do or die affairs
Post dedicated to sane nigerians that see political position(s) as a call to duty rather than call for power and self-enriching venture.

If you still asslick fellow citizens that identify as politicians then you lack cognitive ability.

helinues:
