Is this how you intend the achieve biafra? by making unnecessary trouble, I hate this game and will never be part of it. I rather fight the government constructively and legally by setting out goals and objectives that must be met starting from your local government, then state before federal government bco they all have their responsibilities which they have failed. Now People are loosing their lives for nothing. If you take over Enugu broadcasting cooperation that means you have remove the governors of the whole south east and the house of assembly, local government chairmen and even all the military establishments then start controlling the region; as waiting naa. Make una go rest, let's reason first.
