@_THE_CRAFT3R_: “Being a thief in Nigeria, in this era has to be the deadliest job on planet earth. People are ready to inflict untold pain on a thief, due to the anger from bad leadership and the harsh economy.”
@StackedSam: “Some of them shouting are actually learning from him.”
@Honormeh_aganga: “Is this pure wickedness in the hearts of some Nigerians, or just the fallout of a failed government? Because why would anyone destroy another person’s property?”
@Amaogudu: “After he will come on Facebook and X to abuse people for criticizing Tinubu’s government. He will tell us everything has become better and only the opposition are unhappy with APC leadership.”
@Brotherchibyk: “People are very wicked. Jobs is everywhere, why can’t you go out there and look for local job and work for money.”
