Semi-literates every where I go, revenge mission how? Is dasuki not guilty as charged? He admitted to have gotten $2.1b and was sharing, whining, dining, looting and saying oh...my tenth generation is secured, while gallant men were sabotaged and killed by boko haram, wife's turning into widows and children turning into fatherless children...any defender of dasuki and all those connected, will suffer the same faith like other victims of boko haram!

And the most annoying part of the whole story is, when our gallant soldiers were complaining of inadequate weapon they were being court marshal n sentence to death while the ediots were busy sharing the money
