Funny Nigerians....

We see Human Rights Radio Organizer 'Embelembe' (Ordinary President Ahmed Musa) how he has been a strong and indomitable voice of/for the masses...and we pray we should have another like him in Nigeria fighting for the downtrodden and the voiceless...
We now have someone in VDM in like manner yet some people are warning him and predicting his doom sayin this is Nigeria...
Why not him if he's doing the right thing.

Who do us this thing πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Sad!! Just imagine how the community was shocked and thrown into mourning as a result of this gentleman's death. What caught my attention the most is him been an Igbo man. If 100 Igbos can dent the image of the Igbos, at least one single useful soul could play a significant role in redefining them. Same as Fulani, Yoruba, Hausa and any other tribe or religion
