NIGERIA Police can only confirm this kind of incident without doing anything about it.

Nigeria is desensitizing us. 14 people killed in a nation and everything goes on smoothly. I am not even having goosebumps 😑 I feel terrible for not reacting 'normally'. But it isn't my fault. It's Nigeria fault 😒

The north is progressing well

Normal news 📰 not new in Nigeria 🇳🇬. No good news in Nigeria 🇳🇬 for the past 7years when they came hmm 🤔.

God help us this killing is too much
