    if i may ask, of what importance is this list to ordinary nigerian, i can hear somebody say for current affair purposes, let me tell you, even when you give their names correctly against their states in any test or exams, you are likely to be marked wrong cos provided there is no truth in whtaever the governors do or say, so also, is there nothing positive about their names against their states. may God help us.

    The information is useful & i must also say that your effort is commendable. I’ll however suggest that you update the information. For instance, Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State has long passed away. Well done.

    Dear Sir,

    Good Afternoon,

    Yesterday, I found a email from central bank in your country. His name is Mr. Adebayo Adekola and his position is Deputy Governor Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This is very laughing for your country. This man is say that your central bank give me $10.5 Million Dollar and this instruction send to him your Government. He demands to me $580 USD for tax payment. I know this is false. It’s not possible. If there is any help that you think please email me.

    Thanks
    Setu Das.
