same people wey wan crucify YeleSowore

Great development,hope others are learning?

When YeleSowore said this, some people were castigating him . At least, one governor has fallen in line

Great news

When Fela Durotoye said he will be exporting it, he was abused, so what will happen now smh

I've always had this feeling that lawyers are drug users or drug dealers

May God help us tap in legally.

Its a very welcoming idea but we nigerians will abuse this idea to the fullest, i know the didnt just look at the huge sum but also looked at its impact on the masses
