    For evading taxes, a punitive 50% extra must be charged to deter theses nation wreckers. Publish the owner's name & all custom offiicers involved names now.

    Nkrumah married an Egyptian who is absolutely "White woman" and you applauded him for that. Niger is our neighbor nation so, if Samira is from that country, what is wrong with that?
