What is wrong with this shapeless ammoiba as woman? Hasn't she heard that IPOB is not an unlawful organization? I suggest that the coordinators write it out in bold form and in all the languages that exists in BIAFRA LAND that IPOB NOT UNLAWFUL ORGANIZATIO "Justice Binta Nyako" Paste it everywhere so that both those who can't read English can read it in their own language.
