What do you people real want: the Nero playing fiddle while Nigerians are suffering or the man trying to empathise with you? Or you rather stand united in the unavailability of fuel? As for me and my household we are going back to sleep with the hope that when we are awake, Bubu would have done his magic and the streets of Nigeria will be awash with fuel. May God help us to stand united in the rejection of this incompetent, clueless leader who appears not to know the difference between his right arm and his leg arm.

INVEST IN BOOKS NOT BULLETS
I will rather invest $1bn into education. We have better security when we buy books instead of bullets. Education gives opportunities to young people and with opportunities we stem the tide of internal terrorism.
