Who bewitched us? When many are dying of hunger, homelessness, hopelessness.
Is this governance or eye service?

We thank Allah swt for keeping us alive to witnessed the medeocrity of late gen muhhammadu Buhari may Allah have mercy upon him. If not we would have been misleaded perhaps others could have go to his grave and to seek for blessings. we were brainwashed with his utopian leadership.
@Martins_247
Why are you guys seeking mercy for him? If you really want God to forgive him, you guys should first of all confess all his sins to the whole world, especially the ones against Nigerians
