        everything about #Nigeria is based on religion. Yet we are so religious, but zero spiritual. What a hypocritical act.

        In a truly federal republic, another region or state that has no problem with such immorality will bid for and host the village

        Is that "opportunity" even given? Anambra or Lagos easily can snap it up! But then, Nigeria is NO Federal Republic!
