YOU CAN SEE A HUG AMOUNT OF MONEY BEEN WASTED IN THE NORTH, AFTER SOME WEEKS NOW YOU WILL HEAR EXPLOSION FROM HEAR TO HEAR. I THINK FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MADE A VERY BIG MISTAKE ON THIS ISSUE AFTER KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ON SUNDAY THEY NOW COMPENSATED THEM WITH 5BILLION NAIRA.
You're right my brother. They more we build, the more they destroy so what's the point? I tell you exactly what the aboki's want. BOMB FACTORIES!! God forbid we grant them their heart desire. Na afghanistan, pakistan, iraq..etc nai dat one go happen.
