Is Nigeria A Country Of Morons, Imbeciles, Idiots Or All Of The Above? By Bayo Oluwasanmi

Elwin Mandowa,
It is no secret that Nigeria’s ruling elite are cruel, amoral, unfit for the office they hold. They are all fucking morons.

Elwin Mandowa,
Except if the schools didn’t “cover their academic syllabus” due to COVID-19 lockdown, I don’t think students should not write their WAEC final SSSC exams. With other students at home, it will be easier to observe social distance by candidates in more available classrooms with students in masks which can be removed in exam halls, enough sanitizer and temperature testing… Read More
