I thought the army,airforce and all security officials are on high alert today.Na wa o
and where were the militants and police officers who were suppose to provide tight security. lord have mercy ooo
you would think there should be serious security presence in poling units all over the north
Jesus Christ, what is happening, shld i blame APC for this or PDP, .....but on a more serious note....even if i was paid 100k, i can't come out to vote in the north , its more like walking into a zone of landmines
Why won't Boko Haram attack people when Jona and PDP has moved most of the military personnel to the South West, Lagos and Edo to intimidate opposition and rig elections.
