EFCC should get sense. Instead of going after these harmless boys, let them go after looters. Dis namecalling is too much.

123 sim cards? I guess these are the category of boys that claim to call from London saying they sent you stuff or ask for your BVN. Barawo

The issue we have here is that prez is not in control and i shiver in the next four yrs..unemployment rate is terrible..it took six months in 2005 to appoint ministers then he started his in /out uk vacation.how can a lawyer oversee power ministry and even two additional portfolios and a doctor in labour and productivity ministry..sharia judge appointed as chief justice.square peg in a round hole.
youths arent lazy as he said in his speech abroad,they need jobs..it will not erase crime completely but drastically reduce it.
