    Naive shallow minds commenting in this blog. Instead of wishing that IBB, OBJ, Atiku, Tinubu, Abdulsalami and many Boko Harams were in this plane and dead, they are hear shedding hunger tears. Let me tell you zombies! Nigerians now prefer eating mushroom in freedom than eating beef in slavery. These political power hogs looting our treasury and their associates must go.
