Presidency blocking Amaechi from Completing Rivers Monorail You guys know that I don't support bad acts, right? Why should anybody in the Presidency be using his or her official power to stop such a laudable project like the Rivers State monorail from being completed by not allowing clearance for the remaining equipment needed for Governor Amaech's biggest project to begin operation?

They were carrying all that money and it was not declared. It is a clear case of money laundering . Yet, they are the ones making laws against money laundering. What were your saddest moments as Archbishop of Lagos? Well, there are a few things that really demoralised me. For example, when you talk to peopl...
