    Nigerians should stop celebrating that hypocrite Saka whatever his name is, he is of no benefit to Nigeria as a country.
    What Nigerians should be celebrating now is our current flying eagles who are making us proud as a country.

    Why would you say that nonsense about Saka or anyone? I’m not just saying that because I am some crazy Saka fane but I am saying this for your sake because you look like an idiot leaving that comment. Don’t do that to yourself. I don’t care that you don’t like him but keep that to yourself because again you like an idiot. Don’t hurt yourself. Did I read, “Saka, or whatever his name is” that comment just by itself make you look so stupid!!!!! I got secondary embarrassment when I read that. I don’t even know what else to say
