president Good Luck is honestly a good man with a good listening ears but what makes his regime bad to us, are the people around him with religious Business and selfishness. NIGERIA is our country and we have a common right to contribute to the development of this nation. I want to call on our religion leaders to stop involving politic in religious matters. Because politic has nothing to do with both hollies books. Please and please my dear Nigerian, let’s live together and plan for our children for better tomorrow, as for religion matter, don’t judge what you don’t know so that you shouldn’t be judge too. No one will be responsible for someone’s sin. I am not a politician,
