Chinazor in Nigeria:
Chinazor Onianwah A vast waste of talent and resources unfolding in this land of plenty. It’s depressing to show the photos of people queening to buy gasoline in a country that is the largest producer of crude oil, so I won’t. President Buhari’s incompetence is becoming glaring. [...]
