No matter what,
Frustrated swines and despicable rascals will still wail.
Nothing, absolutely nothing in life can make such people happy (they abound in all tribes in Nigeria 🇳🇬).

Anyways, if some people don't want to be happy in life,
Happiness will be far.... so far away from them.
Happiness is a personal thing.

Nigeria will be great in our lifetime,
No diggity.

We Rise.

Tinubu keeps welcoming them with open arms. It still won't stop the children of hate from saying terrible things about him.

BAT is really magnanimous in victory.

Executive, Legislative and the Judiciary in Nigeria are one and same. Its self deceit to hope for anything meaningful to come out from the three arms.
When Nigerians are ready they would take power out of the hands of those evil three-in-one institution.
