so what is the dead body doing in the pictures?

oh! sorry, its one of the fuel tanks.

Amazing plan ..May 29 is coming fast

PMB has done well in fighting BH insurgency and stemming the tide of corruption.

With the signing of the Administration's first own budget, we expect the Change to start manifesting.

And once that happens, children of hate still mourning their last election loss won't have much to wail and mourn about.

Then, 2019 will be secured for the General with or without the wailers' support.

We have heard this before. During oga johna's administration there was that story about the army's successful offensive against bokoharam which claimed to have got insurgents farmished to the point of canniblism and how some of them escaped to avoid being eaten by their comrades because they were next on the roster to be roasted and turned into filthy kebabs. Nigerians are being fed recycled news full stop
