        Nigerians are drug dealers not shop owners. Shops are owned by Somalians n Ethiopians

        the moment you justify something wrong is the moment you lose all respect. Drugs are ravaging the global community

        It is an illusion 2 think of a country which is inhabited by its natives only in this age of mobility. Art of living 2gether!
