Do you know what $824 million means? When you convert it to naira you will find out its N1.3 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that each state can have up to N36 billion, yet this is what they claimed to have spent in child care mortality and some education endowment, but what did you see; nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen did the money come in, where did it go to? These monies go to the funding of Boko Haram and kidnappers that are used to kill and destroy our land, that is the operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA US Congressman has confirmed this statement, the Congressman made a speech by saying that Boko Haram, bandits, and terrorists operating in the Sahel are mostly funded by USAID.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfrica is going to be great and terrorism is now ending, what Trump is doing in the US is to expose the entire global corruption scandals, this is just a tip of an iceberg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore is going to be released among the African elites, most of them in collaboration with criminals to destroy our land are soon going to be exposed and we will reclaim our country and continent for the betterment of our people and future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
