    Sometimes I feel like cussing this man! All these billions you're here sharing, why couldn't he have used it to build a second Niger Bridge at asaba/onitsha bikonu msheww

    That bridge is old and people are scared when there's traffic cos the damn thing will be shaking like it's about to break or something!! God help us oo
