One commentOn Justice Ndoma Egba’s Burial Changes The Face Of Akparabong Village Road
It is a shame for prominent who seek for their own family members only. I hope if another renown person died, there shall be another improvement of good accessible road, like this justice. Another development may be provision of good water supply. If it is only death that can give us good things while can’t they not provide good things in their area while alive to praised than after death? The day of judgement is coming to all sons and daughters of oppression.
