THIS SAME SUSAN RICE AGAIN!! Is Nigeria About to become Rice to be served as Dinner at the White-House ?
Susan Rice this time again? Why would this lady keep meddling in Nigerian domestic affairs in a way which gives impression that she is favoring a particular ethnic group against the others?. The role she played leading to the death of the President -elect Chief MKO Abiola , shortly after the death of General Sani Abacha still sucks.
If she was genuinely concerned with putting down the insurgency of Boko-Haram in Nigeria , she should have approached the matter in a different way, that would instill confidence in the neutrality of America. . One should really be circumspect that Nigeria is about become rice cooked for White-House Dinner

National leader of the All Progressives

He added that rather than account for the alleged missing $20bn oil revenue, it kept giving untenable excuses.
Tinubu said,
“They are so shameless that the number of years they have ruled does not matter to them. Don’t change the subject matter. Account for the missing money or go. All the explanations they gave about the missing money are just explanations. They steal from pensioners. We must kick them out.”

25-Year Old Boy reveals How Yahoo Plus Plus Works & How Relatives Who Use Their Laptops Die
A 25-year old boy simply known as Chidi but currently cooling his head off in a police cell as said yahoo boys have since left Yahoo Yahoo (a term used to defraud unsuspecting and naive people, especially foreigners, through the internet) for Yahoo plus as it no longer pays.
He explained how he and his friends left Nigeria for a neighbouring country to meet an herbalist who gave them concoctions to use for their clients. They are meant to use it while typing or put in their mouth while speaking with ‘potential magas’ on the phone. He however warned them not to allow any other person use their working instrument, their laptop.

It was probably the enormity of his
responsibility that made Anyim doze off on the day President Goodluck
Jonathan inaugurated the conference committee.
Anyim, who welcomed delegates to the
conference, slept throughout the 22 minutes that President Jonathan
spoke. But intermittently, Anyim shook his head as delegates clapped in
response to points raised by the President in his speech.
