How about the entire east>

Anambra- 1st class Igbo (Real Igbos)
Abia - 2nd class Igbo (2nd in command)
Enugu - Mere Igbo (They are just there)
Imo- Substandard Igbo (Trying to be Igbo)
Ebonyi - the least Igbo (Yet to be verified as Igbo)

What ipob terrorist are looking for in Akwa ibow

Gov Udom is slumbering

This is actually tresing by UGM... They should consider the lives and properties of Igbo people residing in Akwa Ibom before they bite more they can chew

They are cooking what they cant finish, during the civil war, they attacked us and killed our kinsmen, we showed the fed forces how to get them and they got them good.. You guys are repeating the same mistakes all over.
You leave your enemies to attack your friends or at most bystanders, will you be able to afford fighting on all fronts?

most of them are happy with what is going on if they are not happy they won't be coming out killing innocent people or arresting peaceful protesters Everytime just the way they did in abeokuta today to arrest peaceful Yoruba people agitating for self determination. But am begging whoever that is attacking them should stop for now.
