Through the Industrial Revolution, the country will get its glory back. I really appreciate your video.

You sound like an Ronu-ist APC apologist. How can there be "industrial revolution" when the few industries are closing down or leaving Nigeria? Why not admit that Thiefnubu is a disaster?

[@africanmessage9846]

@annefranciselizabeth3840 Knowing a nation's reality and current position allows the nation to work harder to improve its standing in order to expedite the nation's demise rather than leave under the deception that everything is OK. There is no doubt that the current situation is extremely difficult, but it will improve quickly. It's best to face reality. The problem with you is that you lack basic argumentation; you can set out your case without using a pseudonym. It is my viewpoint, and you have the right to yours. Civility is paramount. This is my dictionary. Be civil!
