BERNIMOORE:
they want to make scapegoat of anyone that boldly confronts them(APC) so that Nigerians will not have an alternative party to choose except them

One Party System!!!!!!! Ko le work.

No wonder Oshiomole the Life Pension Gomina keep ranting on Air and abusing everybody just because he want to seek for favour from PMB

Ajibel:
NL is after traffic and the number of unique visitors determines what NL can charge for ad rates.

Any hot topic always make fp regularly. Dont single out Apostle's case except you are being mischievous or you are new here on NL.

And yea, I mentioned the mods because they are the ones who push threads to fp. So give them a break. Let em do the job they volunteered to do.

What happen to verification of facts.

Just any topic about Apostle sulaiman, just at the click of submit, its already on front page (whether right or wrong)

This does not look healthy

Whatever their aim is, still it will not,

1. Make people forget that Nigeria is currently bleeding
2. People are getting tired of all this ding-dung noise just on one man.
3. Dollar keeps rising everyday.

Its very surprising how they keep creating thread on Sulaiman this, Sulaiman that.

What are they trying to achieve.

So much noise

comos:
