” But Why???? The door of return…. Na waooo do you have lights?? Or they are coming with their own generators…I know they will bring their sharp mouth, me I am sleeping ooo. Cos this will be the saga of the returnees I swearm
Return to be kidnapped or return to Book Haram? I love my naija people but I beg, this one Naija no go fit…I know from a distance it looks enviable but bro where will they land? mutala Mohammed? Are you sure? And how will they move, by air, cos the traffic in Lagos is another bad news.
