Hate speech against Igbos

08:08 May 2 2018 Nigeria

Description

pit! Shame of Igbos! Yoruba,why do you allowed these children of beasts to be doing all manner of rubbish on your land? Your magnanimity is now being abused to your face.
I swear by the almighty God i worships,these generic criminals and rebels of all time can never try such kind of nonsense with us here in the North,cos they knew very much the prompt consequences that would befall all of them.
Stupid children of Satan. Curse be on you till the end of time.
Spit!
