Evil is evil, whether it is done by your loved actors or not.

Some tribes and regions in Nigeria are known to condone terrorism, cannibalism, religion fanatism, human slaughter, kidnapping, and we can see how investment and growth is leaving them enmass.

Dear Yoruba, please, do not cover for evil. If you see something, please, say something.

If it looks evil, it is definitely evil.

The Canad a.ca website is the most difficult to navigate website I hava ever visit in my life. I have spent more than 2hrs now trying to continue with my express entry form. Am I the only one experience this?

Edited:
I've finally found my way oo

Dear Mr. Seun, don't allow yourself to be manipulated. There are some criticism and complaint that are best ignored.

mynd44 is not a tribalist, some people just hate deferring opinion.

You can see how they call their tribesmen saboti, and get them killed for having the mind of their own. Kings and traditional rulers can not voice their deferring or correctional opinion for fear of cold blood murder.

There are some people you can't just satisfy. Even if you offer your life to be sacrificed on their behalf, it will still not be enough.

another day to win big

Dear Ekpa supporter, I'm still waiting.

Solsix:
Nobody is sitting at because of nnamdi kanu, we unanimously decided to extend our weekend by one day.

Still on for grab

h

Win win

But, why not try?

But why?

Where are your pictures? where are your references? why did you decide to repeat the same information in your reply more than once?

Read the challenge again and check the reponse you provided to see whether they have any correlation.

MadamExcellency:
Are you confused or something. Can't you see the answers above the comment?



I thought you were real. Anyone in the know can answer the question.

You are also a hypocrite and a dupe in you don't pay the pledge. I have already listed valid points. I live in many States of the Southeast and can relate to your questions.

Dear Nnamdi Kanu supporters, this is an opportunity to become earn 1million naira and make your yuletide more lovely.

SMH

MadamExcellency:
Without ESN, Southeast would have turned to Southern Kaduna, Benue, Zamfara, and Plateau States in a continuous bloodbath.

1. Our women were continuously raped by Herdsmen.

2. Our farms were vandalised and crops destroyed. We now have bountiful harvests.

3. No more python dances. Open fire and rain of bullets on Igbo youths

4. Our State Police Headquarters are 90% Igbos and most avoidable deaths recorded because of miscommunication by illiterate Northern Policemen have been drastically reduced.

5. Drastic reduction in kidnapping.

still for grab

1million naira still for grab.

Today might be your lucky day. Make a trial now!

While acting as private citizen, they were able to mobilize men to make financial contributions enough for the procurement of ammunitions; arming naive Igbo youths to attack fellow tribesman but cannot use the same approach to gather money to renovate schools, build public libraries, create youth empowerment programs. e.t.c.

Winners show result, losers give excuses.

Dragonsword:
Since MNK and Simon Ekpa are acting on as a private citizen, not elected into any political position. Why not start by telling us how roads or hospitals built by your father, grand father, great grand father down to your 10th generation.

Let's focus on the challenge first. You can create anoother thread and invite me so we can discuss what's going on in the Zoo and the lies.

1. Answer the question of the challenge and win a whopping 1million naira, or
2. Leave this thread (with your tail between your legs).

What you wrote has nothing to do with the challenge on this thread. It's Yuletide, allow others to win if you have nothing tangible to contribute to the thread.

Winners shows results, losers give excuses.

curfew:
No amount of lies can save you or your damnable country called the Zoo rather you will be sinking gradually on daily basis. How far? How many international companies have exited Nigerian in the last few weeks? The know what is coming. Silence is necessary some times.

Have you heard this of kind quotable quote before: "A good man sacrifices his own family, then escape to another country for the fear for his own life, and then begins to order the destruction of life and properties of his tribesmen (calling them "sabo" "?

Why are your people on House Arrest every Monday if nobody obeys?

curfew:
Nnamdi Kanu = Biafra elite freedom fighter, kidnapped and detained several times, sacrificed his family to set Biafra free. No Nigerian has done so for Nigeria, even their so called founding fathers. MNK is a strong advocate and campaigner of equity, justice, human rights. He believes the freedom of Biafra will liberate all ethnic nationalities entrapped in the damnable contraption called Nigeria which he fondly calls the Zoo. Think of it Nigeria is no less than a zoo. MNK's teaching is the reason some African countries are taking back their country from the neo-colonialists. He has been Nnamdi Kanu the leader of IPOB and he remains the leader of the movement.

Simon Ekpa aka Ekperima = fake lawyer, semi educated crime minister of the government in exile, an agent provocateur set up by FG to kill and destroy the Biafra movement, a man who cannot restore his broken family but wants to impose himself a leader of a freedom movement, Ekperima sponsored by DSS runs criminal gangs known as Autopilot, BGRIE, Resistant Army, Liberation Army, etc. Ekpa's achievement include shouting wotowoto on X, using his criminal gangs to kidnap and take ransom, to enforce his fake sit at home which nobody obeys , kill pregnant women, burn people's houses, lie and deceive people that he is fighting for Biafra whereas he is destroying anything Biafra, conduct fund raising where FG by proxy donates money for him to continue his criminal activities. Ekperima and FG think they can stop the coming of Biafra, but they are just dreaming.

@OP we know you are working for Ekperima and FG and you are trying very hard to confuse people by mixing Ekperima's criminal activities with the peaceful freedom movement of IPOB. All of you criminals have failed.
