What is Futajalon?

It is a place, a location in a country called Guinea.
It is the ORIGINS of these Killer Fulanis, including the Grandfather of Buhari.
These Fulanis have since scattered from Futa Jalon, into neighbouring West African Countries, since they are nomadic Herdsmen.

But when Buhari, who is a life Patron of MACBAN (the Unrella body for the terrorist Fulani herdsmen slaughtering Nigerians is droves) became President of Nigeria, he "activated" the plan of the Fulanis to "settle down" Nigeria, take the land of indigenes, especially in the fertile Middle Belts states, by the most violent force possible, while the C-in-C, having made all the heads of Nigeria's security outfits mostly Fulani, will look on or pretend to be fighting insurgency, when in actual fact, they are part of the game plan.

Buhari has been donating our Oil money in the Billions of Dollars, to that Country Guinea, in aid of his projenitors, the Fulani herdsmen of Futa Jalon Highlands.
The Plan is going to intensify because the timelime to achieve finality is 2023, when Buhari will have to leave Aso Rock.
But just like Abacha failed, he will fail too, that is most certain.
The Blood of the innocent, elderly, Children, babies in the womb, that these terrorist Fulani herdsmen under the Umbrella of MACBAN have wasted, will not rest until the last one of them is brought to poetic Justice, God willing.

…Govt purchases 260 security vehicles, motorcycles, others, for community policing

Determined to stem the tide of the sudden security challenges in Enugu State and ensure that the state retains its status as one of the most peaceful and safest in the country, the state government yesterday took proactive and far reaching measures aimed at addressing the issues.

In a meeting between Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and members of the State House of Assembly led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Edward Ubosi, the 17 Local Government Council Chairmen, the Director, Department of State Services (DSS) and all the Security Chiefs of DSS in the council areas, the security body gave update on the ongoing recruitment of 1,700 Forest Guards in the state.

According to the breakdown, 3,963 persons applied for the job; 2,646 were shortlisted and screened; 879 persons had been engaged while the remaining 821 applicants will be screened and engaged in two weeks, bringing the total number to 1,700 Forest Guards.

A source who was privy to the meeting disclosed that the governor and other attendees were very much determined to ensure that recent security challenges in the state were tackled decisively. It was also revealed that they were eager to make sure that the Forest Guards scheme takes its firm footing in the state.

The source added that Enugu State being the first state in the South East geo-political zone to commence the Forest Guards operation after it was approved by the South East Governors Forum, has shown its commitment to the protection of lives and property.

It further disclosed that it was agreed at the meeting that 260 security vehicles should be purchased immediately for the 260 electoral wards in the state, one for each ward. Also agreed was the purchase of 260 motorcycles for security operations, one for each ward, including procurement of communication gadgets to facilitate optimal community policing.

The meeting equally resolved that a Ministry of Security Affairs should be established to coordinate various activities, intelligent gathering and interventions within the new Enugu State security architecture.

It was equally gathered that other far reaching decisions were taken to consolidate the security operations in the state and ensure that Forest Guards scheme commences in earnest.

JUST IN!!! Members Of Enugu State Forest Guards Rescue Kidnap Victims

A security outfit constituted by the Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to safeguard farmlands and rid forests of criminal elements has rescued kidnapped victims.

Igbere TV recalls that on Saturday, about 11pm, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairperson of Igbo-Etiti LGA, Nkechi Ugwuoju, was abducted along with her son and driver at Agu-Ekwegbe, along Opi-Nike Road in Igbo Etiti LGA of Enugu State.

Igbere TV gathered that they were kidnapped by a five-man armed gang, comprising four suspected herdsmen and an Ibo native, who were armed with AK 47 rifles and other dangerous weapons.

On 22nd December 2019, about 12noon, members of the Forest Guards acting on a tip off, trailed the bandits to the forest and bravery engaged them in a gun battle. The bandits escaped with bullet wounds while abandoning their victims, a bag containing their personal effects and a cutlass.

According to the State Coordinator of the Forest Guards, Chief Obodoechi, the kidnap victims were subsequently rescued unhurt and handed over to the Police (Anti-Kidnap Unit) together with the items recovered for further investigation.

The State Coordinator appreciated the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who has again graciously approved the recruitment of additional 300 guards by the DSS to strengthen the identified flash points in the State, while those guards recruited in the Urban areas are to be redeployed accordingly. He further reiterated that the Forest Guards was solely created to assist the Police and sister agencies in their internal security efforts.

Meanwhile, the rescued victims who were unhurt have reunited with their families.

One of the victims, Hon. Nkechi Ugwuoju, thanked the State Government for saving their lives by creating such visionary security outfit to compliment the untiring efforts of the conventional security forces operating in the States.

Season's Greetings From All Of Us At Igbere TV. Africa's No1 Community TV.

Hate it or love it, the South-west has sent a clear message to the entire country. It may not be the most sophisticated of processes, but what the Yorubas have done to defend their territorial integrity is commendable. Since the police has failed already... No other option.

In a country with political oppression like Nigeria, they managed to equip amotekun with state of the art vehicles and give them basic arms... Maybe we should all keep beating our chest and insulting others like one popular tribe that we all know undecided

Let me see the Fulani herdsman that will come and slaughter or rape someone in the forest now. If any northerner complains, then we start our own Yorubafra. That's when all of you will know there is no unity beggar anywhere. Once Yorubas decide to go, Nigeria will seize to exist as a federation.

We are all tired of any unity that doesn't bring progress. Even Hausas are changing their Almajiri nonsense... Guess everyone is now smelling the proverbial coffee.
Yes, you are right. When yoruba decides to go, Nigeria will seize to exist because you are the ones begging for unity.

The ancestral home of the Nigerian Fulanis.
That's where they migrated to Nigeria, they have conquered the hausas with Islam and about to hijack Nigeria with the help of the kinsmen from all over West Africa.

The Fulanis are powerless and second class citizens in their ancestral home/country(Guinea) even though they are majority there.

Other ethnic groups there know the Fulanis very well so they work together to make sure the Fulanis never get power.

All they will do is simply run to the SW when their Ala Igbo becomes a hotbed of Fulani terror. That is what Igbos are good at. Making empty noise and insulting others while never doing anything tangible, progressive or exemplary. Their Governors are the worst, most incompetent, most greedy and most cowardly in Nigeria yet they prefer to wake daily and face Tinubu rather than take their own leaders to task over their zero effort to secure the SE.

Alongside the drive to curb Fulani killings and terror in the SW, the Yorubas must also check inward migration of Igbos and others into our region too. We need to stop being so accommodating as this is what has gotten us where we are today. We alone cannot be doing the right thing and then subsidizing the laziness and worthlessness of other regions of Nigeria. Otherwise the next serious agitation from Yorubas will be to leave Nigeria and others best believe we will achieve it once most Yorubas believe it is what we have to do.

Those we need to get out...

First, who are the we? Are you Yoruba now?

Second, you need to understand that Yorubas don't need the Igbo to get out of Nigeria. The Igbo will tell you that they can't make Yorubas their allies because they are "backstabbers". Which is fine because Yorubas haven't said anything about forming allies across the Niger in any way.

Third, does that post of mine sound like I'm antagonizing the Igbos? You Igbo always think criticism of your inept governors or even your people is an insult. You think you are perfect, so there's no room for improvement. Read that post of mine again with a fresh mind. My concern is the Igbo people not dying like Benue people are being killed like children without parents.

Chest beating about who saw what first doesn't arise here.

Fourth, Enugu established forest guards and you think that's the equivalent of the Amotekun wave sweeping the whole of Yorubaland?

Really?

When Fulani herdsmen start killing in Anambra, shebi those forest guards from Enugu will rush to Anambra to protect them, or maybe the Anambra residents will run to Enugu for safety.

But, if you say that's your strategy in Igboland, well, who am I to complain?

THE TRUTH ABOUT NIGERIA AND THE CONFUSION WE ARE IN TODAY

Who are the real traitors who brought us where we are today?

Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance.

Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;

Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*

Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.

After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.

For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.

It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.

Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:

"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).

"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949). Anascopeterson: As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.

But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.

Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land.
Anascopeterson: When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:

In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.

Anascopeterson: The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers. That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.

Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.

Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:

After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.

Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference. Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.

That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.

So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement.
Anascopeterson: Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives.

Anytime i hear or watch NNAMDI KANU talk i never take it serious but only as a noisemaker.

Oshigun:


All they will do is simply run to the SW when their Ala Igbo becomes a hotbed of Fulani terror. That is what Igbos are good at. Making empty noise and insulting others while never doing anything tangible, progressive or exemplary. Their Governors are the worst, most incompetent, most greedy and most cowardly in Nigeria yet they prefer to wake daily and face Tinubu rather than take their own leaders to task over their zero effort to secure the SE.

Alongside the drive to curb Fulani killings and terror in the SW, the Yorubas must also check inward migration of Igbos and others into our region too. We need to stop being so accommodating as this is what has gotten us where we are today. We alone cannot be doing the right thing and then subsidizing the laziness and worthlessness of other regions of Nigeria. Otherwise the next serious agitation from Yorubas will be to leave Nigeria and others best believe we will achieve it once most Yorubas believe it is what we have to do.

Unfortunately we can't do that as long as we are still yoked to Nigeria.

Nigerians have freedom of movement to any part of Nigeria, and we can't start killing them because we want them to stay in their region. Apart from the fact that it won't work, Yorubas will never engage in such wanton destruction of innocent lives.

So, the only thing to do is increase the volume of secession.

The truth is, other Nigerians are straining the resources of the Western Nigerian government.

The region is huge in terms of landmass and population, and despite the fact that other regions flock there for economic reprieve and safety of lives and properties, allocation from the federal government doesn't take this into consideration.

How about Seyi Law?

Seyi Law has done absolutely nothing wrong.

If Kanu has said Yorubas should be killed, then forming a Biafra army is a threat to Yorubas.

It's logic.
