  1. Congratulations prof. Please let use our intellects, knowledge and wisdow to rescue Nigeria because Nigeria is dilapidating. Nigeria is the highest country that wastes both human and material resources. If we fold our hands like this PDP will ruin Nigeria to nothing. May God save, help and bless Nigeria and her helpless citizenries. Amen!
