This is the full write up from Reuters. They never called IPOB terrorist. They only quoted the daft Nigerian military

LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigeria’s air force on Tuesday said it was deploying aircraft to the southeast of the country where unrest related to a campaign for secession has escalated in an area formerly known as Biafra.

The military presence in the southeast has increased in the last few weeks as part of an operation that the military said was part of efforts to crack down on crime, kidnapping and secessionist agitation. The air force deployment marks a further escalation of the operation, which began this month.

“The essence of the deployment is to provide the necessary air cover to the ground troops to enhance overall operational cohesion and efficiency,” said Olatokunbo Adesanya, a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) spokesman.

“The request by the Nigerian Army for close air support made the involvement of the NAF inevitable,” he added.

The military deployment has led to tension between troops and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) secessionist group which last week accused soldiers of laying siege to their leader’s home. The army denied the accusation.

A curfew was subsequently imposed in Abia state, where the residence is located, and the army on Friday categorized IPOB as a “terrorist organization”.

Secessionist sentiment has simmered in the southeast since the Biafra separatist rebellion plunged Africa’s most populous country into a civil war from 1967 to 1970 that killed around one million people.

What is a lie?

Did THOMSON REUTERS not inform it's global audience that IPOB is now officially considered a terrorist organization in Nigeria?

IPODS are a bunch of lying confused terrorists.

The way omenka presented it is not the way it was stated on the news. He painted it like Reuters is describing IPOB as a terrorist body whereas they were only quoting the Nigerian military. There is a difference.

The OP is deceitful.

But really, quoted or unquoted, how does it change the fact that Reuters made its worldwide audience aware of the fact that IPOB is now an officially recognized terrorist organization in Nigeria

The OP made it look like Reuters on its own is labelling IPOB a terrorist body whereas they were only quoting the Nigerian military.

Of course the world is aware that Nigeria has shamelessly branded the IPOB a terrorist body. The same IPOB that are duly registered in respectable countries world wide and allowed to protest anytime they request permission.

How could anyone have expected that Thomson Reuters had the authority or jurisdiction to label or declare IPOB a terrorist organization? Who could be so daft

They simply reported to their global audience that IPOB is now considered a terrorist organization in Nigeria. There is no simpler way to put this so I wonder why it's so difficult for you to understand.

Are IPOB threatening people and forcing them not to vote or go to work in those respectable countries? If they did, they would be labelled terrorists there. They only behave civilised when they are demonstrating in Europe. In Nigeria they revert to their true nature as terrorists. Soon the world will catch on. Maybe during the next election when CNN visits Enugu or Onitsha and finds people who are too terrified to go out and vote because of the fear of IPOB retaliation. Then the world will know they are terrorists, who, like their Boko Haram counterparts, do not believe in the rule of law and democracy.
