  I'm laughing with all my strength. We have created more awareness and I think Nigerians are wiser than what others think. As for us in this beautiful community,  we r craving for CHANGE! We don't know of others! BUHARI! God has destined u to rule this country again and we r strongly behind u. I even hear say the Otueke First Lady Patience mistakenly endorse u last week n even "MISTAKENLY VOTED FOR BUHARI" Confirmed Efun ati Eedi!  Loool . The moment she endorsed Buhari, I knew she will be a very good messenger of God cuz it will come to pass . Some said Buhari won't get there if if he wins, but u will be surprised he will rule Nigeria behind those u wish him dead or otherwise.
