Stephen Okechi Nwoko said: I wonder wetin igbos dey still do in the north. His assassination may be connected to (maybe) sponsoring peter obi campaigns in kano.

Orjiako Ike said: This maybe the last we heard about him, because, he's neither a president's, governor's nor a Minister's son. In Nigeria, the citizens' lives means nothing, especially, if you don't belong, so sad! RIP Mr Ifeanyi, Buhari's Nigeria happened to you!

Nnamdi Uzoewulu commented: Those Igbos still living and doing business in the north don't deserve a single pity if met with an unfortunate end. What's the need of staying where you are seen as less human and always targeted at any or slight chance of badness by these almajiries that doesn't mean well or have regards for humans life! Why?.
