i hate to say this or put it this way but i am glad this happened to a prominent personalities body and also other "prominent" nigerians. this is because until something happens to them they will keep treating others like though, they dont matter. these politicians just care about how to steal and accuire wealth since they have their homes and families live in first worl civilizations. now that the little time they spend here this happens we hope now someone will fuss about checking each airline before take off like Dora A fussed about drugs when fake drugs killed her family.
