In the wake of the mass rallies, President Buhari had warned the groups that he would not tolerate actions that could lead to the dismemberment of the country.<br><br>On the strength of that pronouncement, the Nigeria Armed Forces has also issued warnings to the agitators to bury their dreams of having a separate country or be prepared to face the full weight of the military. But Yarima argued that though he believed in the unity of Nigeria, the agitators should be allowed to express their views freely.jubileepeople.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300849566267918449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666638428123352848.post-41239834925726960992015-12-02T04:03:50.998-08:002015-12-02T04:03:50.998-08:00Insane killing of the IPOB members during a peacef...Insane killing of the IPOB members during a peaceful protest it really appalling to hear Nigerian army, Navy and Police are using live bullet on unarmed Nigeria citizens.<br>These are the people you say your governing but turn behind to kill them in a slightest provocation, Buhari you are insane..Michael Essienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702111531520054319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666638428123352848.post-9158444478739729682015-12-02T03:59:47.977-08:002015-12-02T03:59:47.977-08:00What is going on in Onitsha now all markets are cl...What is going on in Onitsha now all markets are closed noting is moving on we need Biafra that is the final.Ugo Biafrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184661925881193055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666638428123352848.post-88906924880326652522015-12-01T21:31:57.753-08:002015-12-01T21:31:57.753-08:00If we really go for 2nd fight to have our freedom....If we really go for 2nd fight to have our freedom.
