        If a footballer from Imo State scored a goal against Zambia, we’d claim it. So I guess we have to claim this corruption ‘own goal’ too. ☹️

        The footballer is representing the country in that case. In this case Okorocha represented himself, the MOU was signed for his personal NGO.

        BBCAfrica does owe it to Nigeria to report accurate news. A retraction is required. This was done by one state governor for his own reasons😳

        Pls Nigerians didn’t honor, 1 governor did @GovernorRochas. Apparently corruption & xenophobic attacks comes with a reward.

        He is facing criminal charges for corruption & racketeering. Who honours deeds that keep Africans chained to poverty, hunger & desperation?
