Even before opening the thread I knew it would be an Igbo man. while others are only good at skull mining and throwing bombs after sipping kunu. I'm ashamed to be a Yoruba man

Why are our brothers from the north not constantly making the achievers list outside the country? Mobile Power Solution (MPS) guarantees you power on the go, where and when you need it. Our brand new MPS 2. 0 can power your laptop for between ten to twenty four hours, a dc fan for 24 hours, easily recharge by Solar, Grid electricity or Power generating set within 4 hours.
