Nawa, I can never fight or kill person just because the useless Politicians that are contesting for Political Power to be in the Government Office. I’m just wondering why they will just pay some fools to go destroy things and kills. You only find all these in Africa. If we Africans can’t handle our Countries, then let the great Britain and Europe come back and take over the Countries they founded. Some will be given 2k,5k or 10k to vote for an individual Candidate that day and you will suffer for good 8yrs while you sold your future and of your Children for 5k or 10k. Nawa
