So the villagers knew they were to be attacked and they cant organise vigilante and arm themselves
imagine fulani telling the communities that their land belong to them for grazing,raping women and many more
and the slowpoke of a governor could only talk about prayer and fasting
this is what ipob should arise and confront not insulting yorubas
unless they are a bunch of cowards

Enugu is a no man's land... Karma is a biatch!
Bwahahahahaha
The chickens have come home to roost.

You talk like one of the fulani herdsmen's cattle.


Can a pride of lions apology to a pack of jackals? Apologise to a lanky looking tribe who thinks the earth is theirs only? We rather die than stoop low. The herdsmen only attack villages with many old farmers and law abiding villagers. Why didn't they attack a community in the city?


And where is Buhari? What kind of president throws a blind eye and a deaf ear to serial attacks from his tribesmen?

989900B:


LOL . . . are you saying some 200-500 Fulani terrorist over-ran the whole of Enugu?

I meant evacuate them from that particular village/town to the nearest safe place . . . the Fulanis resident in Enugu are smarter, fearing backlash, safety first, they've all fled town to the barracks for safety (in the same Enugu).

BTW, if the governor does not have enough security men both official and non official to tackle some less than 500 Fulani herdsmen, then he is a joke -- a big one, he could be over-ran as well an will.

Drchristian:
Can this happen in Igbolands upon all d noises and chestbeating have seen? chai

Even in mile12 crises 3 hausas was first taken down and burnt before d reprisals attack that killed two igbos and 2 yoruba children returning frm sch.

Chestbeating is bad ...it is more of what led to d bloodbath of more than 60 igbos in Enugu.

Dragonking:
Am not Igbo or Yoruba but you have said the bitter truth.. Instead of ipob shouting free KANU, they should gather together and save their land from impending doom.Imagine the Fulani's warned you they were coming and yet they couldn't defend themselves.. Imagine fulani raping ur wife and sisters in ur front and u can't do jack...

To my Igbo brothers, stop insulting or antagonizing other tribes...focus and defend yourselves or else you will no longer have a homeland in the east.

cheruv:

People like berem, abagworo, egift who'd rather have their people slaughtered than resist the enemy

Gext22:
Of course, igbos would have to defend their land and forget about anything else in this hell hole.
Unfortunately, tomorrow, people like you will start telling us rubbish about how we should stop hating buhari and vote and support him - whatever that means.
You won't remember when we had to defend and develop our land by ourselves without the President caring a whit.

Dragonking:
Funny thing is that your moniker contradicts all what you have posted..You are using an opportunity to take a pound of flesh at your fellow southern brethren.. Tomorrow u will enter church and be casting and binding demons when your actions or post is no different Frm one.

This is why Fulani's will continue to wipe the southern part of Nigeria because two tribes (igbos and yorubas) refuse to use their common sense and realize that they are fighting a common bloodthirsty enemy...Continue mocking yourselves while the Fulani's are killing Igbo's and Yoruba's alike.
PS note that I am not Igbo but it is time for u guys to start thinking with ur brains

Gext22:
You still did not answer my question.
How is he supposed to evacuate thousands of people at 2am? THE logistics alone is something only the federal can handle. And to do that without the Fulani herdsmen knowing, which is impossible.
Let me even assume that he has some security officers in his pocket - what are they supposed to do against a highly coordinated imter-state militia?
The same militia that have wrecked havoc in a dozen other states and are currently the 4th most dangerous terrorist group in the world.
The governor is incompetent, of course. Your president though is a murderer, either through complicity or incompetence.

989900B:


You have said it several times that the governor messed up, it's of no use going around in circles then heading off in a tangent.

You can blame the president for not doing enough in vocally condemning the Fulani herdsmen, but ultimately the lives lost on that fateful night rest in the hands of the security forces on ground with the Governor as the CSO.

If the few thousands in that community were warned of an impending natural disaster say earthquake for example, and of course they had hours of forewarning, are you saying they can't be evacuated? This is part of the training all security forces get, from the fire service, to civil defense, navy, police, Army, hell, even boys scouts!

As a trained personnel, you can figure evacuation with local intel in 5-10 mins -- it's the training you get -- it's almost as instinctive as an aircraft pilot's reaction to emergency. If you don't have the training, you don't, but those that have it know what to.


Rule #1: Women and Children first.

raumdeuter:
Cowards. They cant defend themselves na to come online make noise

If you read their online posts you would think they can defeat Russia in a war yet crying because of some rag tag Fulani herdsmen

eyinjuege:
To those turning this to a tribal issue, innocent lives have been lost, families destroyed.

Pls show some empathy, and have some restraint.

At least be a decent human. Who laughs and make jokes at another's misfortune? That's just so wrong on many levels.

RIP to the dead.

I swear you have not heared all the stories concerning this issue.....just keep yr usual open mind n u ll understand...

Too much of online Chest-beating

cooljude:
no no no we still blame buhari .as far as the so called useless igbo leaders can not organised them self and telling us to pray and fast tell me how the killing will stop
if you remember that not more than a month before this attack more than 73 youths were arrested because they where discussing how to secure and tame the excess of those herdsmen. I am from that local government and the conflict did not start today but they had never attacked us with this magnitude. I think those herdsmen are backed by powerful persons from this government. if you follow the trend carefully, they firstly used the military to round up a lot of youth then on the day of the attack, the so called military personnel left for who knows where. then the said military surfaced when reprisal started.
I think Nigeria as a country should enshrine in our constitution the right for individuals to have their own firearms in other to secure themselves. why would a Fulani man be allowed to carry assault riffles but I would be arrested if a small pen knife is found on me. For my Governor saying the people should pray and fast,I just want to say he his a big fat fool.

All I know is God will surely punish any fool that comes to nairaland to support this useless & senseless government. You won't see those old zombies comments on this thread, they will feign blindness. Bunch of scammers.

If its saraki or any of those their useless corruption threads their posts will litter everywhere.

So disappointed.
