CELEBRITIES are not supernatural being. It's so #PATHETIC of anyone to think otherwise... WORDS!!! Those five letters can make or break anyone. D words u hear can either lift u up or bring u down. D words u say to someone can either uplift them or destroy them. I see & read a lot of postings on social media & some of these words cuts deep. Forget about d usually high school bullies. High tech bullies (cyber bullying) are deadly!!!! D way you people furiously attack other people's picture,career,family,even worse,children is terrible. It's even more disheartening when I see grownups doing this. How does one criticized their fellow human being in such manner?

The comedian shared this on his IG page. Read after the cut Sometime ago, I wrote about how cash movement drove up the exchange rate of the dollar. I smiled when I saw this. Not because it is amusing, but because I know that bit by bit, we will get it right. Remember when there was no BVN, monies will leave government accounts and enter a non government account and disappear. No traces. But not anymore.

They have resorted to hiding the monies in soak aways, Graves and tombs, abandoned buildings, etc. Trust me, if that money had been converted to dollars, one hand bag or hand luggage is all it would have required. And again, do you know how much of such cash movement helicopters have done across the country? But instead of how to make laws to check all these, it's uniform of the CG of cust...
