THE KINGS MEN MEDIA CONCEPT

WHEN THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED AGADA IKECHUKWU Nigeria is a giant nation because greatness is encoded in her DNA. Sometimes her leadership betrays her as a euphemism for movie theatre. Nigeria’s motion pictures industry can attest to this(Nollywood). Those that have been watching the movie cannot agree less that every man is a moon with a dark side he doesn't show anybody according to Mark Twain. This postulation drafts that you can hardly summarise a man from a distance or at close range. The totality of a man remains a mystery in the hands of God. Table seems to have turned against some gladiators masquerading as underdogs in the underdealings to drive a wedge in the fortune of others. “The Get Saraki Out Merchants “ have retired unceremoniously and the plots escaped to the nose of some newshound, because the chief hunter is clutching on the last straw to remain afloat.
