I just noticed that I posted in a wrong NP portal Pix n SNaPs.

Yes my Dear, The International Court of Justice in Den Hague, Holland decided the case. The UK Lawyer who represented him is of Jamaican Origin but studied and grew up in UK-United Kingdom (London) to be precise. The hand-down judgement is fixed to 30th May 2012. As we may recollect, Nigeria betrayed him so much. I can understand why some parts of Africans hate Nigerians abroad and home, etc. etc. It is absurd and painful to hear other Africans criticze painfully and insults Nigeria very well.

Lack of electricity causes Nigerians to be behind news from around the world. I think it is an intentional act by the Nigeria goverment to blind-fold the people to reality all over the world.
