It is unsurprising that out of all the countries with "thunder and lightning gods", only Nigeria doesnt have stable electricity  . We even have two thunder gods but still no stable electricity while others have just one thunder and lightning god but have stable power, maybe our own were fake just like the picture used to represent Amadioha in the post 3 Likes 2 Shares |
