Really didn't think chucking banknotes into the air while poor people scuttle around like termites to pick them up from a dusty earthroad was the hill to die on.
But for people who can vote for Abacha's senior brother just 17 years after Abacha died, well…not so surprising.

Leave Cubana to bury his mum in peace and focus on the Ostentatious Weddings and Birthdays of thy Leaders.
