I swear merely looking at the stuffs from Nigeria & Africa, you'd quickly agree with white supremacists; especially the KKK, that black AFRICANS has no shame, no honor, just stupidity & hollowness begotten by having lots of wives, too religious & other stuffs too despicable to write.

Tomorrow druggie like Bulablu will talk of fighting corruption. Tufiakwa..... An organization that operates like a criminal enterprise, with broad daylight evidence has no moral, legal or judicial obligation to point, file or push charges to another allege law breaker!! They should be disbanded, policing hand over to the military for six months and a new, fire brand police system recruited. Not these shameless people like the PRO of LAGOS defending criminals like Musiliu Akinsanya

Make una try get shame small. I know corruption runs deep, yes it's everywhere but shamelessly exhibiting it is so disgusting. The world is watching. No wonder a old, shameless man heading the 3rd arm of the govt can disguise just to attend a meeting designed to thwart justice. The next moment he is seen in a mosque praying! What kind of people are Nigerian leaders sef? Thoroughly messed up species!

In Nigeria, corruption is endemic. Even the person trying to catch a thief is also a thief. Slogan of fight against corruption is just a scheme to win election, afterwards, corruption continues.
