Onewazobia:
Yet they continue sending palliative to you, year in year out, gives your students scholarship, support you with a lot of technology aids, vaccine for your children etc.

I wonder why they didn't consider Iran, Saudi, Qatar or even Palestin since we are talking about security. You better came down b4 hate kill YOU

helinues:
They should come and tell us when ever any of the Western politicians come to Nigeria to come and have retreats.

I guess the issue they want to discuss about is in USA.

Shame on them
