Fulaniiiiii poweraaaaa .......this is one Nigeria as prescribed by Gowon and Awolowo.

This is so sad!

^^^That was uncalled for! I'm sure those poor souls had nothing to do with Gowons foolishness in fighting for one Nigeria....he practically handed this country over to Fulanis, who are now angry that power has been taken from them for the first time since the 60s.

This country make me sick sometimes; a whole 19 lives lost just like that, and life will continue as if nothing happened.....with our heads in the sand as usual.

Just as if my mind is now kinda programmed to expect a bad news of attack during any christian celebration.

April FOOL?!
