The government of the lifeless one isn't even making any attempt to cover its nepotistic and tribalistic tendencies, I'm just hoping after his tenure my people wise up and see his type for what they are when next they come.


Of course, being a typical Nigerian as long as the systemic rot is favouring family members let the wheels on the gravy train keep on turning.
