I know most of those guys they are very very bad. you see that one sitting beside the price wearing blue and yellow shit, Gov’t should kill that guy because is very bad, he always move with guns…in that jakande and small-kuramo area this once cut are just small of those guys, many of them are still there in small-kuramo and jakande and gbara area. Police ask them to call or name more of their member’s because we still see many of them around the area. Also we want govt to come and clear that small-kuramo bars, a lot of evil is going on there. even most of those jakande police knew them but they always back them up and smoke ibo and drink with them….Gov’t pls don’t use jakande police on this matter because you won’t see the outcome. they know those cultist guys in that area. For this once gov’t should put them in jail forever..

i know one of them so much before i travelled out of the country, we used to worked together at lekki beach under [dtd] but i never see any bad charcter in him,i think the society has brought them this far,a counter where there is no job for the youth and the populace.People stealing our money and putting our nation in poverty.may God never forgive our leaders

cultism is old fashioned. “love these colours but never die for them”.its a major vice in the society as the act tears apart youths whom ordinarily ought to be bonded in purpose to see us in the next stage…but NO! cultism they choose.let’s ask ourselves is the divisions of tribe,religion an d ethnic cleavages not enough ? underdeveloped we linger in after 58yrs of independence… and fall is certain if we stay divided.
let justice not just be done but it should be seen a such.#borrowsense.
