"A few kilometres from here, there are mansions worth millions of dollars. Nigeria is an evil enclave."
@Geewils1 commented:
"Abuja where we have 109 senators, 360 members of house of representatives, ministers, President & VP. It's disgusting, it's shows the kind of leadership we have had over the years."
It should be noted that the Nigeria Customs Broadcasting Network had on Thursday, March 25, informed the general public that Abuja residents were facing scarcity of water as a result of the current repair on the trunk line at the Lower Usuma Dam water treatment plant 3 and 4.
