No thoughtful person in the world will buy this trash often dished out for public consumption . Yes people are desperate in a nation with so many new billionaires and Private seem to be growing disproportionate compared to average income per capita. yet average citizen have no idea where the next bread will come to pit food on the family table for the season of Yuletide. Is this the kind of freedom the citizens of this nation hoped for ? Kidnapping was unknown in Nigeria before these looters and dangerous armed robbers fleecing every kobo in the nations treasury came to power. They need to explain to the general population the origin of Kidnapping as new way to make a living . Anyone who watched Obama in tears at the grave yard of self inflicted American tragedy know what it is to be a caring President and government, where are we at the most devastating moment of our nation. Of-course I'll be surprised if had no national consequence from the present leadership of doomsday who re feeding on the blood of their citizens .
