Hate speech against Igbos

12:36 Aug 28 2018 Nigeria

Description

It's better to be ugly than to come from an evil race like Biafrans. It's better to come from a land where people are ugly than to come from a land where there's abundant of evil and crime. Biafra remains the evil and crime capital of the world. There's no evil and crime you won't find in Biafra. The trend now is that you are even selling yourselves and children. Lowest of the low animals selling their children. Yibopigs selling Yibopiglets
