“Now nobody is talking again, all those people that use to riot during are not rioting again, Nigeria is a funny country. They talked during Jonathan, why they no talk again. They say men of God are not talking about the country’s insecurity, the ones that talked during Jonathan’s term, why’re they not talking now? The time we talked, una talk ? We’ve been shouting since,” he stated.
