Where are Nigerian scientists and law breakers? This is no time for sentiments or political differences. Senegal has thrown up challenges.
The last time I checked, the economy journals showed that Nigeria is richer than Senegal. #Goodgovernance. https://t.co/UapW3PSaZr

But in America we put corporate profits over lives and as quiet as it's kept…the govt dgaf about us. https://t.co/dGkeBYYfwO
