Ile Ife.
For many years after arriving in the US, whenever I slept, I would dream of Ile Ife, where I grew up.

This morning, a friend from Nigeria called me and asked the question: “What will happen to the politics of Nigeria, to President Buhari, and the 2023 elections in Nigeria?”

I brought out my laptop and used the Ifa computation system.
THE PAID OFFICERS BOAST THEY DID THE KILLING, MAIMING AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTIES

Let nobody persuade you that killing and maiming people is a legitimate job.
