Security has really improved, people can move freely without fear. This is just an isolated case. What a country as we turned to Mexico.

I see Fulani herdsmen militia taking over this country the way the Taliban took over Afghanistan and the way they took over Kwara. I see them starting to attack cities soon. It's only in Africa that you see people pretend they have a government and a country when in reality they have neither. This have I seen.
