Obasanjo AND TINY BABY BRAIN LITTLE Charley boy SHOULD HAV BEEN ARRESTED BY NOW FOR PLOTTING TO SET Nigeria ON FIRE AS REVEALED IN A LEAKED AUDIO RECORDING.
Pandora Peter Obi must have been invited by security agencies, also. The head obidense obirodent did same by calling for a religious war against Nigeria, also. In a leaked audio recording.
ALL OTHER COMPLICIT CONSPIRATORS AGAINST THE Nigerian STATE MUST HAVE BEEN COOLING OFF IN POLICE CUSTODY FOR SEDITIOUS PLOTS AGAINST Nigeria.
The US government as currently constituted under Joe Nothing is also complicit in the current state of affairs of Nigeria. The double standard dual cunning relationship of the US is questionable troublesome and worrisome.
THE EVIL INTERVENTIONIST POSTURE OF THE US IN THE Nigeria DEMOCRACY BY WAY OF VISA BAN IS AN UNWHOLESOME HYPOCRISY.
Perhaps, the American government should impose visa ban on all the people and indigenes of Anambra state for the killings of American citizens in Ogbaru in Anambra state. This tantamount to anti democracy stance.
MAY BE Obasanjo’s NAME WITH HIS CO TRAVELERS IN ANTI DEMOCRATIC RHETORIC WOULD EARN THEM VISA BANS. WE SHALL WAIT TO SEE THE USELESS LIST OF THE NAMES OF VISA BANS.
America never had it this bad under the bad undeserving leadership of an inept inefficient incompetent Joe Nothing.
THE US IS FAST BECOMING THE SCORN OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. WHAT A SHAME!
