Let's all laugh at Kenneth Okonkwo

nobilie:
I saw the video but laughed It out. A good number of people from Esian in Edo state are Muslims. It's a matter of time. Difficult but not impossible. North is pumping huge sums to the SE to buy them over to Islam. They need only a few persons this way and by giving them good support and cover theyll grow in number. Young igbo ladies are now being married by Muslims. You'll see this in Nsuka and Ebonyi.

Even in Imo state
