This is good leadership. Some elders are actually living up to their name. Next should be regulation on traditional marriage rites.

This is one of the most stupid and meaningless "law" ever stipulated. Africans and triviality.

How are you fools going to hold your thieving senate and house of representatives members who sit in Abuja collecting hundreds of millions annually.

Your roads are death traps, your schools are backward without a 21st century laboratories and all you do is concern yourself with what type of soup one cooks to bury his Father.

Delusional dweebs!
