You need to investigate your story, before you start writing jargon. First of all, no market in Biafran land stays open past 6 pm. To say a market was open till 9:30 pm is a mis- information. And need to recall this story and apologize to your audience.

My precious Imo state

Punch newspapers are control by fulanis terrorists government of Nigeria and has been paid of.

God please forgive imo people and heal them 😭😭🙏🙏
