Tragic how the Igbo diaspora continue to kill Igbo indigenes and other tribes in the south east

Very, very sad! Bad and condemnable. I pray the culprits a caught and face justice as they should.

Hmmmmm. Better cover the headline very well. Because when these Northerners finally have enough God forbid, Igbos living down north will be the victims. That's what whoever is doing this is after.

This chaps fail to understand that theyare endangering the lives of their kinsmen who live up north, I really don't know why we hate ourselves this much

One unpardonable sin IPOB committed is the birth of killer gunmen in the SouthEast.

Put the headline well, EIGHT NORTHERN MUSLIMS KILL IN ABIA EASTERN PART OF NIGERIA
