      You are a very big fool! When they ask you to go to school you'd be busy with cult activities. How is Nigerian president responsible for what is a big problem in the world today(Oil price)? US and UK companies are cutting hours and even reducing staffs daily and you are there yarning dust. Please criticise constructively abeg.

    Ask yourself what you have done to reverse the trend and stop blaming Jonathan for everything that is not right. Eschew bitterness and complaints. If you are recovering looted funds and going from country to country cap in hands, tell us how you are using those funds to turn around the situation in Nigeria.
