You cannot blame Borno people for loving the man. in 1983 when Chadian army invaded some part of Borno then, it took our military under the leadership of GMB not only to chae them back abut to chase them into chad such dat Nigerian Army annexed over 50km territory inside chad.
ReplyDeleteit took the intervention of the OAU to appeal to GMB to allow peace.....that is the man some of you young people dont know!!!!
But do they have to make a coffin? at the slightest opportunity these islamist look for trouble and start killing as well. why are they trouble makers and killers as well? Is it illiteracy, ignorance or just sheer wickedness? cant understand these creatures myself. Who even created these sets of beast?
