        Moha...... This guy's disappointment level is multiple times higher than Sonko's mainly because all along we assumed that the man was smart and responsible. Recent actions and utterances suggest otherwise. He was just waiting his turn at the feeding trough.

        Love this!!! But for the fact that cassava is a staple crop that feeds millions. Turning it into a commodity for Electricity will inflate the price. That said, Two geniuses and are brothers, Lucky Mum.
