Ree-ea-ally? shocked Well, I don't know about the Edo needing a boost. You will have to ask them. I just felt it was unfair to attribute something that is jointly owned by two or more people, to just one SS person. In other places, such actions are classified as greed. So one needs to set the records straight. Hope you catch my drift.
What is Edo? Edo is a State that shelters the whole population of Binis yet are minorities in the state.
Don't worry yourself, Igbos still cares for sidechicks cheesy
