So you will agree with me that it has been quite a year! We made resolutions and were optimistic for so many things for the year. Little did we know that one thing would cripple all those plans in a heartbeat? It’s no new…
My vision for a Peaceful Nigeria still centre around Education for SELF RELIANCE. This will go a long way in building a Nation where Peace and Justice shall reign. ENDSARS started so well and was going on so fine. Endsars is…
