They are doing this to keep the funds to keep coming in.
Criminals[/quote]Exact comment I wanted to make... You just spoke my mind.... All the sueing they have been doing for the past 12 years (Jonathan and Buhari's administration) what has come out of it? Na me wey even open thread about serap, na me no well...

Every success has a process. If someone cannot trace the process but is shouting grace, favour and all, you are dealing with a deceiver.[/quote]You are very very correct my brother... They never tell success stories complete... They always end it with "it's God's grace" as if that grace no sabi road to ur own house.
I think the system of counting one's age from the time of conception is better though. Because how do you explain the fact that you were nine months old at birth, then one month after birth, you are still one month old? That is the begining of human confusion.

Yeah, to say it was an honor and of no use could be understandable, but to say because it has expired, it doesn't exist anymore is quiet misleading.. just like saying you no longer know how to drive because your driver's license has expired. At the end of this all, let any of them who can prove their case beyond reasonable doubt come out successful. One thing is sure about this case. It is teaching most of us new thing. [b]It is like giving someone the Keys to Abuja as an honor, but you and I know the keys are of no use practically , so the same here, Moreover it has expired. So I don't know why we want to flog this issue.[/quote][/b]
