cheesy
There's just something with the faces of all killers. Almost of all dem dey get the same face whenever they're caught. The heart of humans are evil and wicked!!! May our lives not be cut short by these animals in human form in Jesus name. And if you're amongst those who take lives, nemesis will surely catch up with you sooner or later.

People are bad.
I know some people would blame this evil act on hardship inflicted on us by APC and Tinubu., but this is not true. Such occurrence had existed even before now. It's not about hardship but the wicked and evil nature of man. Man is evil by default. I want the authorities to kill this man slowly and painfully but instantly

Fake news from Lagos-Ibadan expressway
Once any news of crime from the SE doesn't carry the name of the culprit, just know the offender is Yoruba.

Igbos can never fight over basic things like foodstuffs, we are all billionaires. Even all those who died in the Anambra stampede were all Yorubas grin

Always using Tinubu to lie and give stupid excuses for your criminality.
This happened in 2021, was Tinubu in power?

You can see how low nairaland has dropped.What kind of headline is this '
Police arrest Anambra man...',it seems your MODs are learning fast from Lagos-Ibadan parapo media.
Hopefully if a man commits a crime in say Lagos or Ibadan,you should be able to place the headline same way.e.g police arrest Lagos man or Ibadan man!

If I was d usual corrupt political elite reading d comments on nairaland, I wud be so happy becos the poor masses fight themselves over trivial issues like tribalism and religion.
I'll know that I have a long time to keep the masses under slavery and enjoy my loot in peace.


BTW I'm not Igbo and in most of our homes people argue and quarrel over food and other things. The man had violent temper due to hardship over d years from PDP APC and d rest. God bless d masses and deal with d thieving destiny ruining elites
