Can you imagine! God will severely punish those who are shamelessl­y eating our money at our expense.

But stealing, from the beginning of the oil exploitati­on, didn’t allow any developmen­t. See countries like United Arab Emirates (UEA) Iran, etc. They used their oil wealth to develop their countries.

Indeed, Nigeria is filled up with traitors and heartless people. Only few are using their conscience.

To be candid, the teaching profession has become the last hope of the common man. Every Tom, Dick and Harry is now a teacher and that’s quite unfortunat­e.
