The way Nigerian politicians manipulate billions makes me wonder how many Nigerians have ever seen not to talk of being in control of a billion Nigerian Naira. I’m not even referring to the masses. If you’re not a big time contractor or a very affluent person, I very much doubt if you could have come…
