We have sent a petition to the Us,Uk and Canadian governments calling on them to..
1.Deny all past and present leaders indicted or under investigation for corruption entry into their countries.
2.Freeze their assets until their cases are resolved by the courts.
3.Deny all Nigerian lawmakers entry into their countries until their allowances and emoluments are declared publicly and completely reviewed.
We call on all Nigerians to sign these petitions on the link below and all Nigerians resident in the EU and all over the world to put up similar petitions in their bases. All our rulers own they stole from us.. its time to #take it back.

I have been trying to find out the meaning of Lai in Yoruba language but all I hear is that it is a short form of a longer name.
I can just imagine the alias the dude will be called in school such as ' hey lie come here or hello lie how u doing
or maybe his babe then would say I love you liar.

Just makes me wonder what sort of name is that lair lieing Lai. LLL for short.

Olayiwola =it means "wealth rolls into wealth".

my friend, this is the problem of you igbos. You always make reference to the past................. The same problem with the Palestinians, making reference to what happened 2000 years ago and encouraging their kids to attack heavily armed Israeli military with stone.

Ijaws and Niger Deltans have forgotten about GEJ and past election defeat but you igbos are still propagating the seed of hate and deceit.

God bless u.hw can a whole tribe be soo childish, emotional,unprogressive and unreasonable? it pains me 2 see young peps being blinded by hate.
