Nice

Good luck to them but they should not turn the government to family affairs.

Born and bred here in Nigeria
make i go the tribal way first....Yorubas so much intermarry that even the only two SW president Nigeria ever had have non-Yoruba First ladies

This go along way to prove that they are very socially-free and ready to marry women from any tribe. Thats the height of Liberalism & Sophisitication.

You have to deluded and hate-filled to think they arent all what i described up there
