On this side of the world, Life means ABSOLUTELY nothing

RUN WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH AND NEVER RETURN.
FORGET PATROTISM, patriotic people are only remembered and valued in this country after they die.. You can ask Abiola when you see him
Dust to Dust
Burnt to Ashes
Pray for Lagos.. This is Nigeria
See how we living now
See how we ain't safe
