Many Nigerian Politicians Are Thieves Except Buhari' – Oba Of Lagos

Any genuine prince from the day he is born has an ultimate aim to ascend the throne. Any prince that does not aspire to become a king may be impure. The Bible says many are called but few are chosen. The person who God chooses should operate with the fear of God, absolute discipline and honesty. The welfare of his subjects and all should be paramount to him. He should also be a no-nonsense person. He should not fear anybody, no matter how highly placed the person may be, he should be able to say the truth at all times. That is the way I operate. The same respect I give to labourers, I also give to billionaires. With all that is going on in this country today, I am not God but I pray and will work towards President Buhari doing his second term. This country should not go back to corrupt people. Buhari does not have 100% wisdom and knowledge; he has to be assisted. If God brings him back, God will help him to choose those that will work with him to make things better. Nigeria is bless...
