Wahala no dey finish for this life o! As the notorious Japa wahala continues to deal severe premium tears to unsuspecting citizens seeking greener pastures abroad, one grassroots politician has decided to play superhero.

For weeks, social media timelines had been flooded with distress calls from the victim, who detailed excruciating tales of hardship, hunger, and dehumanizing conditions in the North African country.
