Were you not praising this before now?
So you guys thought the larger part of Nigeria will suffer because 'South-east' chose to sit-at-home? NO WAY! We have other options. Need i remind you that we no longer live in stone age. Northerners now sale cosmetics & Motto spare parts. Come to Keffi & see for yourself.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. If southeast people don't come to their senses and fight these terrorists organizations, IPOB and ESN, their business and economy will definitely collapse.
They IPOBIANS think they are destroying Nigeria. It's a pity. God bless Nigeria.
Can't be true. Let it continue so far some people are enjoying it. They were even hailing the UngunKnownMen
