  3. Colonized by uncle Sam those who called them self ECOWAS🤮🤮🤮that Nigerian old dude deported from USA about crime he commit and now they are using him🤮🤮🤮

  4. What a shame. Toothless bulldog, from threat of stand by troops to they’re free without the opposition backing down, what a leadership strategy,the master strategist leader is working very hard, right?

  5. Yahya Sinwar he can run but he can't hide even if he runs to south Africa.. sooner or later the IDF will catch up with him… Yahya Sinwar may mo'ssad be upon him 😁
