  1. The intellectual fools of the southern Nigeria are still hiding under the carpet yet to understand that they are under siege of war.

    How can you not understand that you are at war but don't even know it.

    With all these and other events since 2015 you still sleeping and didn't understand domestic civil war.

    All the southern areas are under attack without any form of defence civil or military strategic value and importance.

  2. So sad. We are in captivity in our own country. What did we do to deserve this monumental suffering? Is it a crime to be a citizen of this country? You don't have a dime, you're in soup;you have little to eat, you're still in trouble ;you have worked hard to be comfortable,your life is in perpetual dander. What can an ordinary person like me do to help salvage this sinking ship of a nation. I think it's time we get ready for the war at least for the sanity of our children and unborn children.
