Robbing Peter to pay Paul...

Make una kuku impose a tax on Air we breath, how did we get to this level for God's sake? Buhari govt are not normal all? Milking citizens dry without citizens benefitting anything from them, Man's inhumanity to Man They should just announce Mas- Burial for D Citizens That all

Nonsense. Brain he no get, school he no go. He should go and consult Segunmimiko how he finance his ' Mother and Child' project and it's successes. Yeye man.

To finance health care or to loot? And I hope this affects only the wailers not the hailers ooo?🤔

If health care was made a prerequisite consideration for any political office, I'm sure this would be given the needed attention. Probably health care form would be sold at 20million per aspirant.

Which health care. Do you have good Hospitals. Another way of milking Nigerians. Why❓❓
