ipob are TERRIBLE TERRORIST affiliate to ISIS

IS THAT ALL? isn't this an opportunity that this government is using to label Igbos as terrorists like al-qada or isis when these fellows has no backing from ipob directives? was so easily to label a set of hooligans terrorists to ipob? what are they trying to achieve with this?
meanwhile, USA never accept the "fact" that Igbos are terrorists , so why should this government be wasting time on unsuccessful expenditure?
they should look for another tactical point to raise, we are tired of hearing that Igbos are terrorists!
