ReplyDeleteWicked lots
They know,yeah, that’s why they try to live lavishly and squander it before their time is up.
DeleteIt’s just a matter of time, they will get served.
They prefer to keep ppl living in the 1800s so long their pockets are lined and their undignified lifestyle are upheld. These ppl were ruthless. Imagine an agency set up to improve the lives of the ordinary person they had to bring their parasitic behaviour to. Parading around with titles and titles while they are simply common thieves and the worst kind of thieves, because they are stealing from the poor.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of Tinubu's decisions I support 100%. This guy got this MD position from Buhari as compensation for the help his father rendered to Buhari in the past and was basically sitting somewhere and just receiving monies, leaving the so-called EDs to run wild. Everything was a scam, recruitment, contracts etc. This purging must go round, Tinubu needs to sanitize these agencies that have become money making ventures.
ReplyDeleteGovernment go round all the useless, worthless, draining money pits pretending to be agencies
ReplyDeleteTitles are useless without positive impact
I believed so much in this government.
