Up Nigeria Army.
ReplyDeleteMay their plans against alaigbo never succeed.
I would be happy if the real culprits are named and persecuted.
Just watch they will soon label IPOB as the culprit even before investigation commence. Those who want to destroy the East at all cost will surely fail and meet their end. They will die miserably and their corpse eaten by vultures.
DeleteAkpurians will never admit that killing themselves is not the answer to their problem. They will say it is the Federal government or Lagos state that owns that trailer of ammunition now. IPOB as we have seen don't always use weapons to kill, burning people to death when they don't sit at home is another one of their specialties.
DeleteTeejay God has not answered your prayers in the other post where you prayed those who want to destroy biafra will not succeed. They have just seized your weapons.
DeleteMore loading.....
Somepeople no just get sense when it concerns there people, blame shifters of the continent. Even queen Elizabeth follow collect.
DeleteTeejay what are you even saying? Yesterday you categorically stated that the killings will stop if they release Nnamdi Kanu. That statement alone shows that not only is Ipob responsible but you support them whole heartedly. I just pray innocent people especially children will be protected against the blood sucking demons you support. If you like write PhD thesis under this comment I'll not even reply you. Meanwhile stop dragging Peter Obi's name in your fanatism because you're only de-marketing a wonderful man by doing that.
DeleteEweleke!
ReplyDeleteYou won't see IPOB apologists/fanatics here now
Thank goodness for such interception by the Nigerian army
They will soon come and tell you it's a set up by haters of Ipob. All these ammunition for their own people. God abeg ooooo. May evil be far from our lives.
Delete18:14, it was actually sent by Yoruba ronu them, or Fulani herdsmen, or the Federal government, or Buhari in Daura or Asari Dokubo to destabilise the southeast 😀. It's never done by their people 😁
DeleteCommenting like an Ipob supporter, member or Obidient 😁
Check Teejay's comment very predictable. I pray God liberate the innocent souls in the east from people thirsty for their kindred's blood because of power.
DeleteTeejay is just an IPOB /ESM member that tries to come on as enlightened, he has done what is so typical of them, quick to attack and point out the blame in others but also quick to defend or divert the argument away from the ills in their region.
DeleteKeep denying you hear, that is why Mmesoma made her 1st to 3rd choice schools in Lagos (UNILAG, LASU and Lagos Poly), to run far away from the killing field you guys created in your homestead and continue to encourage.
You can continue to blame APC, Tinubu, Buhari etc while worshipping MNK and MSE
Ok nah
ReplyDeleteWhy these people no dey intercept cutlasses and knives coming to the North?
Weldone
You are your own problem.
DeleteDon't be angry jare. Next time they'll allow them deliver it to the East so the blood thirst can continue. Don't mind the over sabin military
DeleteObviously for Nnamdi Cownu boys
ReplyDeleteThem Samuel Ekpa boys them
Them Teejay's fellow Ipob warriors 😎
Yes o
DeleteIt's no longer news
We treat their hypocrisy head-on without minding whose ox is freaking gored
Nobody get monopoly of madness na
