Do we really need to discuss with people like Okukpe who has the Govt as
their last bus stop and are ready to say anything to please the Govt even

it is not necessary.This is the same politics that led the young Greec to
suffer the irresponsible behaviour of their previous leaders.The younger
generations in Nigeria aught to take this s issue as theirs because OBY
has worked and saved for her life time.The Govt of Nigeria has no plan for
their children and OBY is only telling the youth to ask the Govt for
explanation for how the Nation's money is being used and Okukpe is opening
his mouth to say all he knows how to say forgetting that his reward is not
too far from now and no more in Heaven
