Comedian Ali Baba writes on why people hate on successful people

Below is what he shared on instagram
What I have come to notice & realized in life, is that, Dangote, will not be concerned with whether Ali Baba made 2 million & Brags about it. Been there done more! Usain Bolt will not even be bothered if an 18 year old clocked 9.7secs in an inter house sports competition in Akure! People who pick up things others say, & pour their venom on same, are the people such things that have been said or to whom such things concern.

Should FG withdraw Nigerian soldiers involved in peace keeping missions abroad?

I support this. You can't be sending troops on peace keeping mission in foreign countries when your own country is burning.
