So my ette-igbo pple even if you kill all of you gvt still have the final say about your struggles. Stop the fight and pick your hoes to farm

Kogi State is arguably the most strategically located state, connecting almost all the six geo-political zones, with nine states and the FCT.

And what were your fore-fathers before the White man came and created Nigeria? They were Nigerians-in-waiting? Don't be myopic. I am first an Igbo man before anything else and my first allegiance is to the Igbo nation. I can understand why the minorities in Enugu state want to go with Kogi,who wants to be a minority anyway? I think INEC should conduct a simple referendum and if the Igala want join Kogi,then so be it. I know for certain that no Igbo man would want to be part of Kogi.
See your comment "who want to be a minor" my brother no body chose where he/she was born. We all came by fortune/misfortune of nature. Whether minority or majority be thankful to God and embrace peace. If there is no peace both minority and majority suffer it

Why dont you guys just let them "join Kogi" if that is where their heart lies .... and you will have a "pure-breed" Igbo in Enugu state?

That is not rocket science naa?

Some Nigerians must evolve beyond the level of PRIMATES that they call them, after-all the earth has been around for millions of years!
All this while, our evolution should have moved beyond this barbaric level of ethnicity, tribalism and cannibalism being displayed in this incident!

If you ask me,I would say that this incident has very little to do with who wants to join Kogi and doesn't. I think this is more of a land dispute. The same thing is happening in my home state of Anambra. For years,the government of Anambra together with private investors sunk Billions into developing oil and gas deposits and Orient oil was established . As soon as Anambra became an oil producing state,the youths of Neighbouring Kogi came up with a ridiculous story about the land that Orient oil was operating on was their ancestral land and that everything including the oil wells must be brought into Kogi. They even invaded the place and started causing problems. So these f00ls were watching as the government of Anambra was developing the place and said nothing but as soon as oil started to flow,their memory came back? If it wasn't for the Army that was drafted in there,those Kogi youths would have felt the full wrath the Igbo community.

Igala people didn't move to Kogi State (like the Enugu State's youths wanting to move to Kogi State). They were brought from Benue State and joined with the newly created Kogi State in 1991. Okun Yoruba was carved out of Kwara State and made part of the new state.

Can you be taken serious for once?

Surprised you refused to see the idiocy/pointlessness of the whole issue.

The last time I checked there is a constitutionally recognised state boundary co-ordinates. Is it not pathetic that the people are unaware that it is not optional where they should belong?

I think that it is only normal that the Igalas in Enugu want to identity with their kin in Kogi. What i find troublesome is that the supposed youth leader is pro Enugu, perhaps the youth leader doesn't care about cultural homogenicity, perhaps he is more interested in what he could gain from Enugu state government, he is puting everything else infront, and puting the chance of re connecting with his kins in Kogi behind, this i find too bad and sad.

Kudos to those Ette people fighting to reunite with the rest of their people in Kogi. Even a wise ancient king approves their intent.

Just like some one rightly said,this part of Enugu is mixed up wt Igala/Enugu just like the 'local gvt of Anambra West and the community close to it speaks Igala all through'. Go to Warri, Asaba, Illah etc, they will tell u how they are mixed up wt Igalas'. Am of the opinion that FG should handle the situation.

Hian Igala people, una wan destroy Igboland for us. Abi wetin be una problem? grin grin

On serious note though, I think I see where they are coming from, I know I have the exact feelings when it comes to my own community. Personally, I believe they should conduct a referedum, the group that wants to join kogi can join kogi and the ones that want to stay in Enugu state can stay. Well then again, who knows, it might be a mixed situation. The groups villages might be intertwined so dividing it might be difficult. Who knows. One thing I know for sure, it's stupid what happened. Aren't they supposed to be kinsmen? So why are they killing themselves because of states? Stupidity on the highest.

As for the person that stated Ette is a mixed community. Unless I'm mistaking but I could have sworn Ette is predominately an Igala community residing close to Igbo community. the Igbos and Igalas do not share Ette. The area is just close to Igbo towns. Enugu state people do correct me if I'm wrong.

Rubbish!
-UNN is the only first generation university that has not been ranked among the top three in Nigeria.
-ESUT is a glorified secondary school inherited from the old Anambra State. Was it not three "graduates" from that school that were rejected by the schools and bakery (their PPAs) on poor academic performance during the NYSC?
-IMT is like a centre where JAMBITES hold classes.
