TruthU87:The solution is to learn to drive your car in a more fuel-economical manner. Avoid driving uphill. Choose to drive downhill instead! Do not go fast -your fuel will run out fast. Just move smoothly in traffic!!! You'll be O.K. Ask Peter Obi!!! 11 Likes 1 Share |

Someone is already suggesting that people should start rioting. That can only happen in a united country, not Nigeria where APC is using tribalism to destroy people's psyche. 4 Likes |

Its funny how the Pro - Iran crowd here some how know all about good and bad governance when it is happening in America but the moment anyone mentions the insecurity or cost of living in Nigeria, these same people turn around and label you "IPOB". Hypocrites. Remove the log of wood in your own eyes first before worrying about the spec of dust in the eyes of Americans. 3 Likes |
