A Civil War At Our Doors. by saintneo(m): 10:07am On Apr 26, 2016
Seun has said no to Biafra topics on this forum.

The northern part of this country is 4 times larger in landmass compared to the SE and SS combined, also larger than the SW by far as well. Thus, I begin to wonder why the fulani herds keep coming to the south to feed their flock.

Why can't these fulani develop proper pastoral farming practices? Why can't they cultivate grass for their livestock?

Yesterday, there was an attack at Uzo-uwani. I felt very bitter, I wished I had some grenades, rocket launchers, ak47; however, none of these are at my disposal. Seriously, I would have paid these fulani people a visit.

A civil war is knocking on our doors and we are still playing politics .... speaking English language. This is an opportunity to divide this country and right all the wrongs of the past, it is an opportunity to liberate the poor masses from the shackles of illiteracy, poverty and oppression.

Am sure the authorities must be embarrassed by this and they need to do a thorough profiling of transit and human movement in this country.

Igbo people will accuse Yoruba people of cowardice. Yoruba people will accuse Igbo people of pride.

The middlebelt has been experiencing the heat, the heat is moving southwards, it is just like Nazi (Prussia/ Germany) expansion in the 1930 in Europe. There should be a unified stand against the aggression of the fulani people. We need to fight back.

Buhari has kept their mouth shut because they've got an agenda.

@Op don't worry, you will surely hear from Igbos. Except you don't follow their track record. They are never cowards, just watch and see.

Why should there be a grazing reserve in every state?

An Igbo man goes to Lagos, Kano, etc and establish himself without any trading reserve from the governments; they pay their taxes as well. Yoruba man does his bit too, Idoma, Edo, Ibibio and many more as well do their stuff without and aid from the governments.

Why should the fulani people be spoon-fed with a grazing reserve? Why don't all the waterbodies in Nigeria be reserved for Ijaw people and other 'marine' tribes? Why don't all the taxis be reserved for Yoruba people and the buses & markets for Igbo people?

I'm getting bitter every moment I hear about the fulani carnage at Uzo-uwani.

I was in Enugu when news of what was happening in Uzo Uwani broke. Many guys were enraged. Most of the Hausas selling petty goods and doing Suya in our vicinity disappeard into thin air for fear of reprisal attacks. Emotions ran high. Had there been a place where some Igbos could have layed hands on rifles, many would gone there, taken the guns and headed for Uzo-Uwani. Igbos have had enough of these Fulani attacks and the only thing preventing a bloodbath is who has weapons and who hasn't. Before Buhari came to power, these Fulani attacks happend a few times a year, today it is a daily occurance. How can someone go to another persons land to fight them? As an Igbo man, I am far from happy.

Where are our Igbo military men? Where are our Yoruba military men? Where are our Middlebelt military men? Where are the Niger-Delta military men?

Open the fuçking barracks and distribute these weapons to the people to defend themselves.

That stupid goat Murtala Muhammad was able to organise his band of criminals to organise reprisal attacks in 1966. Why can't we do it now?

Our most vocal representative Nnamdi Kanu is In jail. What is his offence? Speaking the truth.

Buhari's fulani people are well emboldened. They feel invincible now. But they must be cut to size.

The Igbos I know will respond accordingly they are not like the quasi-southerners who have muslims all over the place worshipping fulanis for conquering them. They know themselves.

I propose that each state should have their own immigration laws. before you can enter any state you must pass through screening. Influx of people should be monitored. Our police is still leaving in stone age. We don't even have data. Nigeria is so porous.

Nigerians should thread with caution. Reprisal attacks will only endanger Igbos in the north

Just found out you aren't worth my time. You opened an account just today only to start attacking Yorubas left, right and center.
Low self-esteem, if you ask me

The reprisal have already started, hausa and fulanis are currently on the run in Enugu. Call anyone you know there. My sister schooled in Enugu and I have called a friend over there.

what is happening in ds country? each day wt its own bad news? I think smtin should be done and quickly, too, to avoid another civil war. I've read so many books about Biafra, but understood more when last week I picked EMEKA by Frederick Forsythe, My God, every Nigerian should read that book, but with a neutral mind, please.

Nnaa, I even dey north dey type this. The best I have got here is an unsharpened obejiri which will only scratch whomever I want to defend myself from. Lucky me, I do not have properties to worry about here when water crosses the bridge. Saving for air ticket to Enugu or owerri when the atmosphere becomes too suffocating.
