Is hunger really killing or people are the cause of their own problems. This life requires common sense to survive and lot of prayers to get God's favor so as to find favor too with men. The world is as a globe is going through hell. Look at Rwanda invading a DRC Congo.. Look at Russia Ukraine war, South Sudan - North Sudan, IPOB, Bandits, ISWAP... But still yet somebody just got Benz today, some just got a new job, and some just died. Pray BRo.

Wike is neither the best Minister of FCT, not even the 3rd best Minister of FCT. What he has abundantly is ability to use the media to sing praises to himself by organizing elaborate commissioning ceremony for any two or three kilometers of roads built in FCT. It is one Minister that built Gwarinpa Estate, the largest mass housing estate in Africa. Built Maitama including Ministers Hill and Asokoro etc. It is a Minister that dualized Airport Road from city gate to the airport, the same Minister built the Kubwa highway to AYA. It is a Minister that built Area 1 bridge, same Minister built Mabushi bridge and several roads spanning long kilometers that every road built by Wike in FCT, no noise. It is a Minister that built most of the recreational centers, gardens, built several district hospitals, built Garki market, Wuye market, upgraded Wuse market, to mention but a few. We that know FCT well know that Wike is a vuvuzela. He needs to wake up to what FCT really needs and stop making noise everywhere.
