Marie go and put hte money at a reputable bank and forget about the lottery. If u put it in your head, it might cause u to misbehave
I wish to get a chance to cross over to US I need to win powerball before I die
There is nothing special about that country
@Lexxy, wat guarantees ur winning dat powaball lotto if u get 2d US?
@ Priscilla if there is nothing special about the US you will not make comment, Your comment make it more special…. Move around and you see what is special.. don’t be too used to the village life style…
Thank you Jacob Flow. It is only those who don’t move around that will make comment like Priscilla. Get a reputable job after getting your education, move around and see Nigerians in good positions on their job, visit places and see wonders both under and above the ground, visit manufacturing places and see the wonders of science and engineering and one will know there are something special about the developed countries. It is people’s attitude to work (dedication) that make it wonderful. Some people will say there is nothing special about US for a reason best known to them.
congratulations to you and your family.
Miss Marie can you give a special donation to the victim of Yolanda (Typhoon Hyan) in Philippines…
Thank you very much
Philip Gamil…Really, there are a lot of people in the US that needs help. Why should she send money over to the Philippines. Really…Damn you got to be sick to ask her something like that.
