Just imagine the money meant for other soldiers only pack am. Na naija we dey, he would soon be released. Let them send him to tsafe forest
ReplyDeleteIf you believe he'll be released, why then did you bother to vote for a better country? Why will they go as far as the Court martial process if not that they want to see it to the end? Why are we so negative? Why are our churches and mosques filled every worship day asking GOD to intervene yet thinking that nothing can help? What exactly do we want GOD to help with if the words of our mouth is different from the supplications of our heart?
DeleteDem dey learn from their ogas at the top.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how high up a major general is? I believe there are only 3/4 above this rank and the average career military personnel all over the world will retire or be retired before attaining this position.
