these pipo wan try sell d ipob stuff to we Deltans, cos of our close proximity to east, and d fact that Igbo's are relocating in large numbers to delta and surrounding southern states....since IPOb/ESN/u g.m started in d east. They have this unhealthy irredentist attitude in them.one woman was making a call, saying asaba is almost as good as no man's land. Thats how they start. They think anywhere Igbo's settle is Igbo land, which is = Biafra land, so that the criminals using it as cover can extend their criminality of kidnappings, robberies, human organ harvesting, and assassination in d south. Many igbo Big men with their famiky no longer go home, even at the year ending, even when there's family meeting, they send representative and make and fulfil all their financial obligations as required in the meeting from their base outside Igbo land

Pandora Obituary, the con artist cum religious criminal is not interested in what happens in the East so long he is safe in Lagos. As irritating as this can be, he is all over the places claiming his useless manhood was stolen, as in, like seriously?

The lamba con artist is being painted a "saviour", as in, to save who? How come he couldn't save his state for 8 years? He didn't even leave the state the way he met it, rather, he increased the poverty level by at least 50%.

The fool will even be telling us to our face ipob terrorists are peaceful since he lives with them, now who killed this man? Is it the usual "fulani herdsmen and dss"?
