This is the federal capital oo. go to Abuja and see bad roads that will make fuel tankers to twist and fall. Just this year alone do you know how many fuel tankers have exploded on Nigerian roads claiming multiple lives?? The bastards ruling that nation won't declare a state of emergency to fix the rotten state of infrastructure, but they'll declare a state of emergency to remove an elected official just for political gains.

Last I heard, such law has been passed. Problem is, you know Nigeria, laws are pronounced, but hardly implemented.
