He said that the lack of genuine love among Nigerians was largely responsible for most of the challenges hindering the nation’s growth and development.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
