'They can't help but faint when the National Identity (Flag) is nothing to them. Stained with innocent bloods of able and armless youths by the order of the faceless and cruel cabals of the party, they will continue to faint."

"That show the ways our country gallant soldiers who are ready to lay down their life being treated like slave dogs why the armed robber politicians who are supposed to be punished and jailed for their looting and embezzlement are enjoying all their looted money in air-conditioning offices and homes."

"Why will they not faint. In 2014, one dollar is exchanged for 160 Naira. Today one dollar is exchanged for more than N600. And since 2015 this regime took over, there has been no increase in civil service salaries. This regime is very insensitive to the sufferings of Nigerians. Very detached from the people and very arrogant in failure."
