Ok,the small RAKADEDE connection wey papa get,he dey use am dey clear road for him business to go well

Had it been our Government regards its ex servicemen and civil servants ,they won't be in penury after serving their fatherland but anyway after seeing what servicemen did at LEKKI I stopped wasting my expensive pity on them

Ok

8 wives and 50 children? He's part of nigerias problem. Some of his children too would definitely be in the skunk trade. We'll see then on nairaland one day.
Well, he don try. He should go and spend the rest of his days eating watery beans.

At 96 he's still dealing I can only imagine the occupation of his children and grandchildren.
He probably didn't give them any form of formal education.
I won't be surprised if his children are motor park agberos.

Hmmmm
