Good moves!

Ohanaeze or what ever they call themselves are on their own.

Bridge gbakwa oku.


What bridge are they building,the one that has cost the life of over 3.5 million igbo kids,
bridge with people their hero stole our fathers money to give his people free education.
Bridge with people who drive joy in the killing of igbo,eg(python dance)

Bridge with people that what only unite them is their hatred for igbos.




We are one with them and can never be.

Igbo are not ready and will never be ready to welcome any terrorist /skullarship in their Igbo day celebration

y

Ohanaeze should mind their business abeg.

Like they haven’t seen the campaign of hate and division from the west?

It’s best they’re ignored
