How many times would this news hit front page?

Because the President General of the community where this killings occured is now denying it was cult related but was as a result of their phantom UGM.

The same community is at war with their neighbours after some youths went to kill 6 men in the neighbouring community.

The PG is now claiming it is UGM which points to the fact that he is trying to hide the true reason why the boys were killed which is in retaliation for killing 6 others from the warring community .


It goes to show how most of the so-called UGM killings are actually hired killers sent to settle scores.

The rubbish going down over in that SE especially Anambra is caused by the people and not even IPOB UGM.

Their people will soon tag them innocent. No single criminal in the whole SE, everybody is a saint

the government isn't up and doing but will rather hire praise singers everywhere.

Two policemen and one civilian were killed on Thursday last week in Nnewi. If half of what is happening come to nairaland, you will mistake it for Afghanistan

No individual can fix Anambra .

The people there are too violent and filled with hate.

If they are not hiring assassins to kill a rival over the most mundane issue, they will be setting him or her up with the police or going diabolical.

As evil as evil gets.


A state where majority are pagans and only go to church as a social function.
