She said, ” It is really time to Heal, Empower, Love and Promote Nigeria.
“Truth be told, the same ills visible everywhere are done by same citizens who criticize.
“We know that most African leaders are in a cradle created for them by colonial masters, and this is why we must use love to help them realise this grand evil , so they can join our crusade of regeneration.
