@tellmarh: “I can’t understand the idea of just sitting on money. Can’t fix roads, can’t build schools, can’t fix Hospitals, nothing. It’s crazy. 2ndly, I thought banks don’t have cash to dispense. I thought maximum amount a person can withdraw is 40k.”

@OlayinkaJubri: “I don’t understand why terrorism is allowed to fester in the north and not allowed in the southern.80% ,if not more than the funds budgeted for insecurity in Nigeria end up in the north.yet the north always remember.”

@nehemiahnanmwa: “This is a disaster. Unfortunately, it goes to tell our level of political orientation In this country.
