Even fools and vagabonds have their fans
Still does not change the fact that they remain who they are, Fools and vagabonds

Those 2 idiots remain inconsequential to proper thinking human beings

Ur attempt at ridicule is juvenile
Try harder

After taking my time to read this article I was readying myself for interactive n wholesome discussions but am disappointed wit the comments that have so far followed this report.
nairaland...how has d mighty fallen.

Whether they will speak for or against Biafra, I am just happy with the development.

Like joke, like joke, Nnamdi KANU has placed Biafra on the lips of Nigerians.

I pray OBJ will goof and speak in his usual arrogant and irresponsible manner.

it will be a plus for the struggle.

Abi.

They are looking for face mending measures.

They will talk we are ONE and how they love Biafrans.

They will gullible and empty promises, eat N50K lunch, sleep in N100k hotel suite and be hailed by Nairaland kids...

that's all

Spell it out, we want Biafra not this romance
