If what the report is saying is accurate, I believe this may be the marketers who are behind this kidnapping. Okonjo-Iweala's mother is the unfortunate victim in this war between the old line elite and the new elite. Regardless of what I think of Okonjo-Iweala and her policies, I hope her mother is released alive and the kidnappers are brought to justice.
It is rubbish that they are asking for money in the first place.
Hmmm, nigeria gud people gr8 nation, but our leader ar making me feel sad, just don't to say the things on my mind due to the nature of tins nw, if that amount of money is really true I believe they can pay it, since they ar not ready to help the people in the country, no job, no power, no road, things ar rough but they just keep enjoying everytin alone, am little joyed but somhw sorrowful 4 the occurance, but my prayer is that God should take control. {Abeg mak una release finance mama 4 us ohh abeg}
