7. 1n 2015, there was a stand-off at his residence after the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency attempted to arrest him for extradition to the US.

Just let me man rest abeg. People de even try write something about every dead in Nigeria not one of ten is good about this one.
I really wish that 2020 will teach our leaders enough for the coming generations. How many big weight have they lost this year alone? Funny things most are Muslims whom don’t even get proper coffins. They get buried in some yards of white clothes that cost less than 5k and a wooden coffin that cost less than 10k after leaving all they billion behind. Still some are gathering stupidly in Edo because they are trying to overweigh one another forgetting their colleagues are dying for being in a crowd. Now if they doing al the gathering for selfless cause shebi we go pray for them? But all is cuz of greed while some stupid ones on here insults their fathers, mothers, and kinsmen because of politicians that don’t give a hoot about them after election.

If Ogun State can elect this person as a senator, then they can elect a suspected Kidnapper as a Governor

In this country below are my observation:

1. We celebrate criminals as a role models

2. We vote criminals and drug Barrons into power

3. We justify things that are not unjust

4. We do act in the spirit of ignorance but 85% are intelligent

5. We promote illegality and paint it as legally

6. We no longer believe in ourselves and this has made us to put all our hope in the hands of all these thugs and criminals we call leaders

Nigeria will be great again!

God bless Nigeria!!

God bless all nairalands!!!
