  1. I thought the lady in picture was the one arrested.
    She looks as if she has just seen one never seen before….

  2. What do you expect when the illegal president himself is a psychotic f.u.c.king son of a b.i.t.c.h

  3. No wonder God has denied this tribe, their party and its leader the right to rule. It is a cursed tribe where the satanic language of violence and insulting is the accepted norm.

    • Please leave tribalism out of this. You’ll not be different from NEZ if you continue with the trend.

  4. But y insult the president surely. You need to see a Dr at the chainama hospital. May God Bless n forgive you for all your sins.
