        Right now there is a man made evil and travesty of justice taking place in #OsunReRun. @PoliceNG @HQNigerianArmy @inecnigeria are working with @OfficialAPCNg to chase voters away from PUs on orders from @NGRPresident. Say something about this please

        Because Nigeria is really not serious. Talk a good game but do nothing about the problems. Everything is not Gods doing or the devils scheming.

        From this photo, that city is built on a river channels. Therefore all water raining from the neighbouring hills has settle here, thus a flood.
