IPOB IS SOUTHEAST'S BOKO HARAM. Boko Haram simply means “education is forbidden.” When, therefore, IPOB stopped Igbo children from writing WAEC exams, it was simply saying that their education is forbidden. In effect, therefore, IPOB is SouthEast's Boko Haram. It shld be crushed.

It's better we obey ipob than those who have our generation into the hands of the fulani herdsmen

Why threaten when you can just do it?… the voice of the people, is the voice of God
