Nigeria has always taken the lead to assist African countries under pressure of whatever kind, like they did in the era of Apartheid in South Africa. These countries turn round to pay back with open hatred towards Nigeria at the end. South Africa particularly is the most ungrateful country ever, not only to Nigeria but to their neighbours who provided them sanctuary when they were being killed by white minority rulers. Thanks to Nigeria though, Good deeds has its rewards at the end, let those who hate continue to hate, Kudos to Nigeria

To God be the Glory great things he has done….. once upon a time so recent, on August 7th to be precise, Nigerian Government requested from the United states the trial drug used to cure the two doctors who contracted the disease from Africa, the response was shocking, the United states Government in the person of Barack Obama said they cannot release the drugs since it will be premature to share the experimental drug with Africa, Today the stone the builders rejected has become the head of the corner Hallelujah!!! God be praised. we are and still remains Gods own people regardless of the evil politicians that has failed our people… Let them come, Nigeria will teach them what CDC (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention) refused Africa just a few months ago… God be praised mightily Amen
