The EFCC should start from the topmost. All our poliTHIEFcians are the highest Yahoo-Yahoo criminals in Nigeria. Also investigate the President, his vice, all senators, all state governors and their vice. Also investigate yourself and all EFCC workers before you start investigating on we poor masses. If no, one day we will start revolting on all of you. No place to hide. Why do you think that KIDNAPPERS, ARMED ROBBERS, YAHOO BOYS and SUICIDE is on the rise? It is because una don milk Naija dry. We are wiser now. Between now and early next year if things don't normalize I am sorry for what will happen in Nigeria.
