Yes, Nigeria is the perfect place for human rights activities to thrive, especially since many people trample on the rights of others

Congratulations....! I know it must be a Yoruba or Southerner..!

Buhari must go.

I known Fulanis cannot win any award based on professional competence anywhere in the world.....except in terrorism, jihadism, killing and claiming other people's land and being backed by security and defence organs of Federal Government of Nigeria.

Hope Atiku would be closely monitored cos a Fulani is a Fulani..!

Fine boy!
He's not a daft gorilla descendant! He's not an empty, deluded chest beater! He's not a shameless drug peddler! He knows & is proud of his origin as he's not a shameless attache who will claim to be from a place that has always vehemently denied being linked to his people!
Congrats, boy! Greater heights!
