    Why is Nigeria wasting tax payers money to induce international communities to see IPOB as terrorist group even when a court in Nigeria have said otherwise?

    IPOB leader even defeated Nigeria in their own court. Isn't that a shame to all their antics?

    They have been trying so hard as the reason they are still incarcerating the IPOB leader even after court ruling that discharged and acquitted him from all charges, to see a justifiable reason to imprison him. But they will fail.

    Do they know what IPOB means? Indigenous people of Biafra. Can you label a whole people and race terrorist?

    The same IPOB labelled as terrorist by Nigerian sponsored criminal international allies in Sweden will see the damage they have done to their reputation as an organization.

    The question sensible people should ask is, do terrorist have a known address or register their presence in countries all over the world?

    Believe me, these same IPOB are still protesting in Europe yet to country is clamping down on them as terrorist. Even the US didn't say anything to that regard being the world power they are.

    Nigeria should keep fooling herself trying to bribe everyone into their dirty dealings.

    The terrorism tag won't fly. Another wasted effort and resources that would have offset some of her debt to money borrowed from China.

  2. The said terrorist tag was hyped by Nigerian media. I have checked, the said table published was fake, it was not from Terror Index table. Also I have searched everywhere in Terror Index Website to see where IPOB was listed as number 10 and couldn't seen it. If you have seen, pls show us.
