@Doxx12_ - 199 in Lagos , they keep giving us back to back to back, shey you must go to bank and query them about the 50 naira deduction in your account ba? Your foolishness is paying up. This is the result.

@TAbuloye

199 in Lagos and Kano just have 5... I find it hard to believe this figures either they are not testing in Kano or they are just giving this result cuz they want to allow muslins attend mosque for the Ramadan.
