Since Sunday night and we're just hearing about it now.

The politicians in River State are busy fighting for power. This government don't rate us (youth) at all...

We the youth need to wake up and fight for our right. Keep religion and tribalism away.

Else, it might be too late to restore Nigeria (Africa) once destruction from the elders go beyond this stage.

May their soul rest in peace
