GEJ is a hero of demo-cash. He ruined the economy with his lack of control over his surbordinates. He inflicted a horrible change on Nigerians. Now they busy are chasing the people GEJ loaded with loose cash and Nigerians are suffocating. Now people are getting ready for “essenco” lines. We could not ave come to this sorry state if not for GEJ.
