According to him,
- “Corruption and its twin evil, economic and financial crimes have ravaged our nation and it evidence in the decayed infrastructures and other basic amenities.

I am waiting to see when the so called EFCC will start parading yahoo yahoo politicians, pastors/imams and Traditional rulers in Nigeria.
I am not condoning what these boys are doing, but the situation in Nigeria is pushing them to do all, the government has failed woefully in Nigeria, they start rendering them useless from the elementary stage, without adequate education, healthcare etc, it will take majority 8yrs to complete an ordinary 4yrs course in tertiary institution, and not even with real knowledge because of the state of affairs in most schools, no appropriate equipment or conducive environment for studying, after graduation,you start looking for a connection to secure job, because hard to find a job based on merit
Let it not be surprised to many of us that Nigeria masses are the real victims of Fraud in this planet, and it’s being perpetrated by whites with the help of few Nigerians, both in politics and religious affairs.
Let everybody boycott this election to make his/her voice heard because what is required now is a revolution and not an election.
