Corrupt civil servants.
After they will say bad government or governance

This reminds me of two popular bullionnvans that got lost in Lagos and ended up in Bourdillon.

By the way it is indeed pleasing to see that The dead meat griller aka NLpolicewoman was able to recognize Peter Obi and the fraud he perpetrated with Next in the other thread. I indeed pray that now that his brain can recognize corruption he will be able to speak against the corrupt Buhari who happened to be his darling daddy as well as our dear Bullion van master.

I hope you scream mods!!! Don’t make me beg you.
