Pray For who For leaders who know what to do and refuse to do

If Nigeria was your family, will you ask them to pray of proffer solutions to their problems

We pray while you people enjoy, Nigerians are raining curses on leaders who are not active and have kept Nigeria the way it is!

That is the only thing you people deserve!!!

Make this independence celebration be una children wedding now na pray una go dey pray

Where is the money to go to stadium? Some children have not even eaten and you are here talking of celebration probably because you still have little change in your pocket.
