May the light inside us not flunctuates, evil things happen which makes one wonder on every now and then, imagine this story, so so sad.

May be the deceased deserve the death. Those hoodlums who collect illegal money from KEKE & OKADA do not attempt to collect same money from private car owners . Why? Do they not ply the same road. Apart from collecting illegal money from KEKE & OKADA, they usually cause heavy traffic jams, confusion & accidents on the road on daily bases while the police and law enforcement agents stand to watch them. Too bad for our country. These hoodlums go scot-free because they are heavily used by politicians during elections to rig elections, to cause confusions, to kill, to snatch ballot boxes and to work as tugs.

Man buy him bike to fine money for him family, you say him must pay one hundred Naira every day for union. WHICH UNION? ABI, DEY UNION WEY BUY THE BIKE FOR THE MAN? UNION OF WHAT? WHERE DOES THIS DAILY PAYMENTS BY ALL CYCLIST GO TO? WHO DID GOD BLESS TO CHOP PUBLIC MONEY? Some one who approved this indirect day light robbery must revisit and put to an end these official criminal groups who go about the name of union to forcfully snatch money from the public in the name of registered unions. MUST EVERY ONE BE A MEMBER OF THESE UNIONS? Think about it.
