South west governors should look at the 5 trillion in Lagos

5 trillion would go a long way to boost south west economy.

As for Oyo state, most of the vegetable oil imported through Benin republic are heading elsewhere.

80% of that shitt goes to Govt houses and villas.

A nation which accepts to live a third-class life is just a third-class nation! If a nation wants to be called honourable nation, it must use the option to refuse any kind of policy which is against human dignity! No refuse, no honour! If you don’t refuse a bad government, you deserve it all the way!
