I will take your advice if you point out the grammatical error in my comment.

BAT is one person and is not used as first person or second person in my comment. BAT is used as third person in my comment. Explain why "has" is inappropriate in the sentence. If you are unable to explain it, take your advice and learn the difference between "has" and "have".

You tried in your narration. I served in Effium from 2019-2020, and I can tell you for free that it was a segregated community with the two sides living in parallels. Sometimes, the kids would try to bring the talk and hate to the classroom but I forbade it. Ezza kids would come to me in secret to tell me ridiculous things about Effium and Effium kids too would do same about Ezza. I would only smile. I knew war was imminent because the hate was so deep that you could feel it the moment you step into Effium town. Ezza people regarded Effium indigenes as a backward minority that would not allow them to develop Effium in the name of their indigenous claims on the land. Effium, on the other hand, saw Ezza as invading land gabbers who are there to take their land in the name of development. Ezza people were far richer with many having access to Lagos connections and other resources, but Effium folks are more battle hardened and do not joke with their land or culture despite their poverty. The only way is to partition the land and make laws banning encroachment. The ezza may not be indigenous, but they have made soo much investments there that expulsion is not realistic

Thanks for what you know about the communities. in addition to that, Ezzas are actually warlords, back in the days, any community that are in trouble will sort for the services of Ezzas, Ezza will always ask for land in return should they win the war. that was what happened in Ezza-Effium in todays Ohaukwu. Ezzas fought for them, and they were compensated with land, the one there are occupying to the present day. Now Effium want them out. this same thing is happening in Benue state, Ezillo, etc. Why would you want to collect back the reward you gave someone who provided services for you satisfactorily ?

You speaks like someone who knows everything about that war,now tell me where Ezza people are troublesome in anyway,Ezza people are not pushover even though the government of Ebonyi state which they fought to be created are yet to come their way.
Effium people started that war with their neighbors and are now paying for it.

Ebonyi state will hardly vote Ezza man to be Governor in the near time future even as Nwifuru hands over to Ebonyi central (Ezza land), in the next 8 years. This is because of the fear Ebonyi people have for Ezza people in terms of land grabbing and massacre in Uffiom that will be heightened, as well as Ezza-Ezzilo war that will be re-ignited with support of the Ezza governor.

Ebonyi people are too fearful of voting in an Ezza man, at least for now. Next 8 years power will likely go to Ikwo again. At least their own war is literally only with neighbouring cross river and they’re largely not known to be as troublesome as Ezza. Watch out for Ben Uruchi Odoh the commissioner for justice.

Ezza people are troublesome.

When you fear Ebonyi man is easily irritated and can easily pick up a fight, it is an Ezza man.

Their ancestors were warlords.

All these things Fulani herdsmen do, they can’t try it in Ezza land or any land Ezza people have interest.

Uffiom people are not indigenous Igbos, migrated from Cross River and Benue. Although they are now indigenous Ebonyians, they speak and hear Igbo, but speak their distinct dialect which Ebonyians don’t hear.

However their quarrel with Ezza people are decades long, and Ebonyi govt is siding with Uffiom, however Ezza people don’t want to let go and are massacring Uffiom people. Uffiom people massacre them too, but are outpopulated by Ezza people. Ezza people just want to massacre them into extinction or send them back to Benue/Cross river so they can take over their arable land.

The Ebonyi state Government Peace committee instituted by the Governor has sided Uffiom people, but the Ezza people are not having it.

You keep saying that the state government and peace committee have sided with Uffiom. Would you want the government and committee to chase Uffiom people away so that Ezza people can have the land back because you said that that's what they want?
The same way Ife people were saying that modakeke people should vacate their land. Some demands can't be met because they are simply insane

Ezzas never ask anyone to vacate. in all the places they live, there is a boundary that was placed since the compensation(land) were made. you really need to hear the full gist, then you will know Ezzas stands for justice and equity

I am an Abakaliki man. Ezza people are my distant relatives. So naturally I should side them but I don’t.

I side with the state government who sided with the Uffiom people. A white paper agreement was gazetted in the ministry of justice this February that Ezza people are guests and Uffiom are their hosts, the traditional ruler in Uffiom is officially recognised and the Ezza are officially recognised as guests but Ezza can’t have traditional stool, however they are part of the land and are semi-autonomous.

I side with State government communique and Uffiom people. Even though I’m not related at all to Uffiom who migrated from Benue and Cross river in 17th century.

Let me tell you the story.


Uffiom migrated around 17th century to meet that land as Ngbo land . And I am from Ngbo. They waged war against us but couldn’t win, they travelled to recruit Ezza warriors who are notorious and popular warlords. Ezza had a deal that if they waged the war for them and they won, they would be part and parcel of the land for 100 years. Uffiom accepted and together they defeated us and pushed us further South and East of Ngbo land.

100 years has passed and Ezza have refused to go back to their land, claiming they’ve buried their fathers in Uffiom land and it’s against their tradition to exhume corpses. And they don’t have anywhere else to go. Quite well, Ezza is enterprising and have connections abroad and in Lagos and together they’ve developed the Uffiom land to a large extent but see the Uffiom aboriginals as having a backward lifestyle with no resources or wealth to develop their segments of the society, left for them they can turn Uffiom land to modern town if they are the sole occupants.

Uffiom people see their land grabbing and overbearing nature and want them out. They refuse. Traditional rulers start to incite locals and fight break out!


Just like what you have in Palestine and Israel at Gaza. Two tribes, one city. Nobody gree for eachother.


So don’t accuse me of siding Ezza when you have read my first paragraph

But the Govenment has demarcated the land and granted Uffiom indigenous rights as well as recognised their Chieftaincy stool, and only gave Ezza people semo-autonomous status.

Why can’t the Ezza accept that?

Ezza-effium Crisis : Tears As Children, Pregnant Woman, Others K!lled In Ebonyi Community (Photos)

By Wisdom Nwedene, Abakaliki

At least 11 persons including children, mothers were killed on Wednesday when suspected armed men said to be warlords attacked the residents of Inikiri Effium community in Ohaukwu local government area of Ebonyi State.

Ezza Effium and Effium community of Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State have been at war since January 2021 leading to loss of lives and destruction of property worth billions of Naira in the State.

According to report, the victims of this latest attack include children between the ages of 2 and 12 years as well as a pregnant woman who were massacred by the armed persons who invaded the community.

The gunmen were said to have invaded the community at about 2 pm and shot sporadically till 6 pm without a challenge from the soldiers stationed in the area.

Speaking with our correspondent, a resident who hails from the community, Jeremiah Obaji urged Ebonyi State government to arrest the leaders of the community.

According to him, "just yesterday, they attacked Inikiri Umuezeoka where they massacre children, old men and women and burnt down every structure within their reach including Amurt."

"This is unbecoming and Ebonyi State government should arrest their leaders."

"It's now obvious that Uffiom never wanted peace."

The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu said he has not received any information on the incident.
