Now they are doing the right thing. Leave the innocent citizens and kill more corrupt leaders.Joblessness is the result of the corrupt ways.
ReplyDeleteGod help us
ReplyDeletenow we can say they are out for something, next should be Governor or special advisers to presido, then presidency. they should stop killing poor men like them

ReplyDeleteI will like to know how the presidency will react to this particular killing. From the reaction, we will then know if one particular life is bigger than the other. Before it was common and innocent citizens...nobody talked, now the table has turned to the leaders, lets see what "they" will say. All the same may their souls rest in peace....FRANK
ReplyDeleteI think they are just doing a great job now.They shld continue the killing of the corrupt leaders and the their children.Well done, boys.
ReplyDeleteWow this is lovely, this is what I want to hear or see. They should kill more. Senators, they should go for Governors, even that useless Jonathan. Bunch of rubbish. I pray they rotten in hell.
ReplyDeleteImagine this comment as unrialistic and evil as the writers mind is. What will you gain with such wish? I am not an apologist of the Jonathan administration, but what is hapening is quite very unfortunate. However, we should be concerned about every life in Nigeria, whether big, small or meduim, we all have right to life. What is going on is quite unfortunate. Nigeria needs a true redefinition of our corporate existence. Meanwhile, Jonathan and the security chiefs needs to make Nigeria safe for its citizens.
