And more choppings for de boyz. And after that Auntie Okonjo will come out to whine to Nigerians

When others are thinking ways of sustainable development. Instead of we to emphasize green initiatives, we are busy clearing everywhere including trees, building roads, houses and companies the old fashion way and expect nature to be very understanding.

Nature please, spare the areas where the voiceless live and flood the den of crooked short sighted legislators. Let them feel the pinch a little.

na there problem

committee will be set up to review this issue
Another committee will be set up to review and Audit the report of this committee.
Another committee will be setup to implement this committee's report.
Another committee will be set up to investigate and audit the implementation of this committee.
Then Sister Okonjo will now be invited by the private sector and she will now be telling them how too much money is spend in the public sector

They should start importing speedboats lol. As is usual with everything in Naija, no preventive measures will be taken until its too late.

Dejiro: Is already flooded with corruption.

GEJ will see it as nothing! Afterall he's a fisherman. All he'll do is remove his "shoes", sit on a canoe and tell us "Fellow Nigerians, we are on top of the situation" while munching his "cassava bread".
