Ibrahim Attahiru was killed

The aircraft exploded mid air
It was a bomb situation

The man knew too much about Terrorism in Nigeria and their government sponsors

He was determined to end it 😔

Paint him as a saint all you want. He was no different from any greedy businessman in the country. This is the same way Soludo would be painted as a matyr if such takes place. We who worked under him know the brutish conditions he made us endure.

Death is inevitable if money can buy death in exchange of Life all mentioned will afford to pay it in millions times. But unfortunately death can't be bribed once it is your time you will kiss it and say good bye forever. Your money, your beauty, your talents, your fame and power will be gone just six feets below the ground at your death, in few months your memory will be forgotten. Why feeling pompus over material things? Why feeling like a demi-god over your achievements in life? Why oppressing people because you have measure of power? Live responsibly, live each day of your life like there is no tomorrow. May we never die in our prime!

Yakowa was killed becos he was Christian Gov of Kaduna.

The hatred the religion of peace has towards Christians,
shows that the god of the religion of peace is not the God of the Christians.

They even hate Jews too,the children of the prophets.
This again proves that the religion of peace is not of God

I don't know how true your claims here is tho but my instinct just keep telling me that 'this was one of the bank Giants that keeps playing Nigerians with their smart brains in the banking industry'.... Forex, loan, investment and all that, they drain Nigerians
