Abegi are politicians not also organizing a semi get together in Presidential Villa? What then is the meaning of those smiling evil faces covered by mask in photographs? Nigerians know nothing will make politicians smile in 9ja except money is involved! Funke God guide you! May Love of God over shadow you! Amen.
