hahah ah aha don't mind day clown

Now who will stand for him since they have been dumb and ignorant over killings and maiming of Biafran and the members of IPOB? Nnamdi Kanu said that any Biafran who goes to serve the zoo politically will surely come back in shame and disgraced and it has been happening one after the other. Did Orji Uzor Alu ever believed his recent shortcomings after all his loudmouthings campaigning for terrorist Buhari when campaigns have not been flagged off. Even the Governors and other politicians singing sycophantic songs for their masters, they should wait because it will soon get to their turn.

My as planned s

2morrow He would still Get away with this chaii

Detention in progress

Some people will not see this as witch-hunting

But EFCC allowed Timipre Sylva to enjoy his 48 houses.

Sylva was a complete broke nobody before he became governor. Ekweremadu was a lecturer, Local Government Chairman, SSG then Senator but cannot own 22 even though the EFCC has not mentioned the fraud he committed.

Ok na
