Kings. Heads of states. Prime ministers. Governors. Chairmens. None have done anything for Nigeria. Presently the naira is near doomed. Who will bail us out? The oil the nation of Nigeria is blessed with - has turned the country into a nation of fraudsters, thieves and the MOST corrupt place in the continent of Africa!
