O yes, freedom of religion but not in a manner of allowing hooligans and fools to be corrupting the psyche of our children and making nonsense of our cherished values.
Who watched the video of the 15-year old SS1 student seeking power and boldly requesting his testicles to be used to prepare medicine for him? (Ochoru Ka ebubye ya Ike). When the scandalized “dibia” asked about child-bearing in future, the hypnotized child said that he would be content with adopting one.
Something must be done and quickly too! It is a “war”, in which the people will proudly support their governor.
Would it be possible for the towns to spontaneously rise against these? Something must be done and quickly too! It is a “war”, in which the people will proudly support their governor. Would it be possible for the towns to spontaneously rise against these charlatans dressed in “Ndi Omenani” garbs?
