@fiagirly Very well said. Saka played less than 30 minutes as a substitute and was not on pitch for the conceded goal. And yet Phil Foden, who was EPL player of the season, played for 90 minutes and stunk up the whole place and his picture was not on the papers. How convenient!

@Morris_Monye Exactly. Nobody has sacrificed more for Nigeria than our family and yet we constantly ask ourselves if it was worth it? We would give anything to have our parents with us but Naija moves on with corruption and impunity from the top down seen as normalcy.

@CaptainArinze My boys are 7 and 11 and the cost of hiring an after school nanny was $2000 a month. We simply asked my mother in law, a retired English PhD, to help with the kids. She teaches them and has been a blessing to us. Best decision we ever made for our kids as working parents in USA

@DrJoeAbah Sadly, she died because she was so engrossed in her work for NAFDAC that she delayed her fibroid hysterectomy for years, which later was found to be cancerous. When I see all the lies, corruption and dirty politics, it pains me that we lost our mother for nothing! Was it worth

The biggest problem Nigerians have is telling lies comfortably in the name of politics. How can someone you recently accused of leaving you a barren treasury and a stagnant debt ridden economy be an ICON of integrity? Buhari was incredibly ineffective and the evidence is factual!
