At all those who say events are being orchestrated from outside the country i would have believed you if i as an infant  and my mother did not have to wrap her self in a hijab she stole from a wash dry line in maiyanka market area of kano(she went to buy meat) when these same hausa/fulanis were running rampage mudering every thing/one that did not look hausa or worse could not speak hausa.
If i did not for the first time in my life (on my first day of secondary school)see decapitated ,burnt, disemboweled, mutilated, bloody and mangled remains of human beings(dozens of them at the gyadi-gyadi roundabout area) the end result of protests in kano by hausa/fulani muslims aginst Rinehard Bonkes crusade in kaduna and the anticipated one in kano
History documents the fact that this pattern of killing those that dont worship their god and dont look like them formaly entered the records in the 1940s so if someone external is copycatting them(if i may use that phrase) and blaming them for it , it can be helped because they have over the past 70+years been consistent with this behaviour.
For those who try to put themselves as not affected you must know (or you are lying to yourselves) the hausa/fulanis are equal opportunity killers.
Anyone who has spent the least bit of time in the core north and survived the ordeal will tell you that even if  you were a yoruba or edo muslim you stand 50% chance as much as the igbo,bini,edo,urohbo ,ijaw calabar crossriver and ikwere man(generaly called iyamiri by the hausa/fulani muslims) as well as the yoruba man of getting killed.

Just in case some Igbos don't understand.
The COUNTRY IS WATCHING!!!
The South-South, South-West and Middle belt have your backs but apply wisdom!!!

jason123:

For all we know, it might (please, notice the "might" not even be the "Northerners" that are doing this. What about PDP? ACN? MEND? Or the political class in the North? or even outsiders? Speaking as an objective viewer.

As an objective viewer, it is clear that someone knows that by killing Igbos, they (Igbos) are the easiest group to provoke to war!

Remember, Yorubas were killed after the election, even more than Igbos. Since the Yorubas did not talk, they left them.

Also, Niger-deltans have NOT been touched. How come?? Not even up to 10 Niger-deltans have been reported killed, before, during and after the elections. But for some ALMIGHTY reason, they "know" where and who are IGBOS  in the North to kill them.

Come on man! Chyz* is doing what is best for the Ndigbo.

Rad1cal:

How long would they keep watching , the Sapele example is way forward . it's time we show those eedioots some mean violence.  

do we need to wait to see others reaction, even when you keep getting killed.

wait till they import their terror southwards. then we shall understand the full repercussion of being on the fence

igbo boy:

fallacy upon fallacy, I know lots of peeps from my momsie's village that have been killed, Is Niger Delta an ethnic group or a region?
I am an igboman, My maternal and paternal villages are both in the so called niger delta region,

I dont understand how u would mention, yoruba, mention igbo and then mention niger delta,

Niger delta is not one entity biko either culturally, linguistically, historically or other wise, there is nothing in common with an ishan man and an efik man nor an itsekiri man and an igbo man,

What kind of trash is this? People are getting killed and your advice to them is to keep quiet and act like it is not happening and somehow they would forget they exist and go after others. Man you are disturbingly daft. It is past midnight so if you have nothing worthwile to say, go to sleep and don't rile people up here.

What useless mentality is this. Honestly, if Igbos are waiting on people with such mentality to back them up, they might as well kill themselves before the northerners arrive to do the deed.

Okay, go on the attack! Abi?

jason123:

Just to engage you for a while. . . .

You need to study the situation before you jump into something you can't handle and fall into your enemy's trap which was[b] CAREFULLY[/b] set for YOU (JUST YOU because they see that you guys are emotional). Fall into their trap by killing them and declaring secession; watch as the UK and co use the media to call you trouble makers and oil thiefs. The country will unite not because of the hate but because for the ensuing propaganda that will drown the only voice of truth.
What next? Back to 1967!!!

Guys, be wise. Someone else might want to secede but wants you to do the dirty job for them! THINK! THINK!! THINK!!! (its a possibility). I am 110% sure that Chyz* understand this! and he can explain further if he wants to.

Rad1cal:

You spout this because non of your family member have been liquidated in the most brutal fashion. if you have tasted such loss. you wont canvass for docility in the face of constant hostility.

Maybe the southern Kaduna people shouldn't have returned fire for fire when faced with death.

Easier to sit somewhere and claim objectivity when you have never felt the direct pain of a loss.

realkendy:

whats really wrong with these tribalist yoruba of a peeps,is it like a disease that anywhere igbos are mentioned u are called,what sort of stupidity is this.i've been reading this post from one,noone mentioned yoruba then ileke whatever came with one stupidity n i was prayin my igbos could ignore n it happened,then comes this walai of a person,dont u get tired of being childish n silly.tufiakwa ndi nzuzu.biko stayreal,sam,real change,n others im right behind u guys,myself n other igbos here are with you guys.very sensible folks i must commend,dont let anyone push u to the wall.thank u

I'm happy for the killing. Those Igbos are fools. I've kept asking why an Igbo will be living a the North which is hot and uninhabitable? Is money more important than your life? Quit that job, start a new business in the East.

I will celebrate if I hear of another round of killings.

realchange:

if they don't stay neutral, we should be prepared to fight all of them. with enough sophisticated weapons, we can!
and win!


very smart observation.

Igbo people should not be incited to violence. It is unfortunate that Igbos are used as pawns but let us lie low. I can now see that that a big dead rat is stinking. Don't fall for it.

If anything, Nigerians as a collective whole should face our corrupt leaders and hold them to task.

This divide and rule strategy has always been applied to Nigerians right from it's inception to it's peak in 1966/1967[/color] when Northerners were goaded to strike Igbos. I really think that those in power have it in their best interest to have us turn on each other while they reap the spoils. External and internal forces know that ethnic bigotry is Nigeria's weakness. Add to this the unfortunate history of Biafran war in the country and you have a nice recipe for disaster in this scenario - they think they know the right buttons to push but no one should let them.

Let us be play smart and unite as country to challenge our leaders as well as the stories that are being fed to us.

Be wise, guys.

Stop including us in your impeteous adventure. We are not interested in war. Our forefathers fought wars for over three centuries! You do not expect us to toe the same line.

Ndigbo should do two things NOW:

(1) NEVER OFFICIALLY comment on these killings

(2) Silently organize for a long war


These two steps are necessary because we are yet to FULLY know who the enemy is. We have identified some of them obviously, but there are more. To avoid a repeat of the past, we must NOW make powerful international allies.
I am a practical man. If we don't plan for a long war in Nigeria, even southerners will be tempted again to support Hausa/Fulani.
So, we should develop a new code of silence over this, and go to work.
All these talks are counter-productive. What have we not talked about in Nigeria, all of which were rejected or simply ignored because they think we are captives in our land? The call is on us the young Igbo generation to decide whether we live as free men in Nigeria or as slaves meant for the slaughter house.

Igbo jikere nu.

@igbo boy
I sympathize with those killed and injured in this lastest attack by BH. However I must point out that so far no niger deltans seem to be victims.
Also there are no ibo people in the niger delta.
