  1. It's Such A Big Shame That The People Who Are Put In Power Use It To Take Advantage Of The People. The White Man Exploits The Black Man Since The Beginning Because The Black Man Is Greedy And Cares Less About The Wellness Of The Other As Long As His Belly Is Full.
    People Need To Know That They Are Responsible For Their Own Fate And Government Is Just A Term. Liberate Your Minds Africans And Uplift Your Fellow Africans Because Those That Really Need Help Even Won't Read This Post As They Don't Have The Means. Heck I Even Wonder If They Can Read…. Ohh Africa. They Sold Our Great Forefathers As Slaves And Now We Are Slaves In Our Own Land

  3. This is what created militant and kidnapping in the niger delta,false promises….the villagers are lucky their crops didn't die off from oil leakages….damnn… African governments are the same….. MODERN COLONIALISM

  4. What do you mean “THEY”, you can trace exactly which one of your GREEDY CORRUPT so called POLITICIANS is selling out your country. You mentioned Nigeria, use that as a guide for what not to do. Please 🙏🏿 don’t be stupid.
