something i discovered about these countries is most of them have small population unlike what is obtained in our so called giant of africa where a certain group of people will choose to marry four wives with each wife giving birth to ten children and all these kids are expected to be catered for with meager earnings,i remember reading somewhere where one of them was expeting buhari's #5000 to use in catering for his family of four wives and plenty children because he was earning just a meager #200 daily.The best for this country will be to go the china way and some of those northeners really need to be castrated 1 Like |
