Just remembered when Buhari broke down in tears for lossing the presidential election in 2011, people said he has so much passion for this country!!!

BeeBeeOoh:
How a man that contested for a president for over a decaded ended up becoming the worst president is what I'm yet to understand.

I mean, so, Buhari don't even have anything upstairs and he's wasting posters upandan Nigeria??


But come to think of it, kidnapping, banditry and terrorism is a way of life in the North so, that's their concern.

My major concern is they shouldn't try that their madness down south.
