So all the money he stole didn't save him?

Jesus saves people

After all the stealings, after all the ranks, after all the authority, after all the privileges, after all the power, after all the lootings and embezzlement this man still give up the ghost. Life is indeed a vanity.

Buhari is nepotistic, must every thing go to the North?
Anyway we're not complaining on this one.
40bn?
RIPcs!

I have never seen or heard of a Southerner as the Controller General of custom. Custom is the most lucrative agency in Nigeria. North doesn't give chance to other tribe in custom.

MY QUESTION IS : IN THE THIS COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA DO THE SOUTH JUST EXIST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NORTH?

Transient life. Where all the billions?

RIP. We were all born to die, live as if you would die tomarrow. May God grant us all long life

Chai! Rest in peace sir.

Rot in hail evil man

agwom:

his looted billions didn't keep him alive

Dikko don sign out, more to go.....RIP

This life itself! Why are we accumulating wealth that won't be useful for us instead a source of punishment from the almighty?

Chai! Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

Ok

OK. na dem seize innocent people motor.

Nothing we bring come, nothing we go carry go

LIFE

Let's just assume it was the "40b" yet only returned 1b and you think stealing big isn't encouraged by the Nigeria system.

One thief gone

True

May He RIP

All the billions stolen is now meant for others he never knew will spend it. Psalm 39:6 he heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Every soul must taste death! Rest in peace man
