IIf comments like this can be made by Nigerians, are we sure we can live together? What is the presidentt’s role in this? Some Nigerians need to have their brains checked in a psycho hospital.

Let them live but die 4 dia trespasses. But let phisical investigation by the authorities, aswell as spiritual investigation by there witch doctors be carried out so as to find the mystery behind this. Many things are left to be told. POLITICS

Wen God is set to bless anybody/nation, He kills and destroys any obstacle trying to stand in ur success but He (God) won’t act until u declare the words against anything/anybody that is tryin to stand in ur way. My prayer is, may God continue to flush all d obstacles to Nigeria’s growth and grant the soul of those crash victims a perfect rest in His bossom… Amen!!
