Are you sure, because igbos said Buhari is a bigot that hates igbos, I don't think he keep any Igbo close to him at anytime according to what they said

In addition, I thought igbos say Buhari never fought any war against indiscipline. So since one Emeka Omeruah is somehow linked to the programme, Buhari actually fought indiscipline again.

Honestly, I sometimes wonder if the igbos I see offline are the same ones online.

The difference in their IQ is too much.

Just like difference between 10000000000 and 0.0001.

Cool, very nice.

Stop quoting me just for quoting sake. The topic is about Samson Emeka Omeruah, not Tunde Idiagbon.
