"I don’t trust politicians. Politicians are liars. They don’t fulfill most of their promises.

He added, however, that all military officers are supposed to keep original copies of their certificates.
As we welcome the year 2015, I have shared a message to Nigerians in general, but I find it crucial to send another message directly to Nigeria’s youth, who are the major stakeholders of this enterprise.
The year 2014 was a challenging one for most citizens of our dear country.
