HERDSMEN: DEFEND YOURSELVES, OHANAEZE TELLS IGBO
By Sahara Reporters, June 18, 2020

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has condemned the menace of herdsmen in the southeast, especially with the recent killing of a 65-year-old farmer, Uzoemena Iriaka, in his farm in Umuekpu, Agwa, Oguta Council Area of Imo State.

The farmer was allegedly killed by suspected herdsmen. Ohanaeze Ndigbo, therefore, called on Igbo to defend themselves as the killing was becoming rampant.

Ohanaeze lamented that Ndigbo has been pushed to the wall by the rogue herdsmen who kill the people virtually daily in their homeland. “We have been pushed to the wall. We have no other option than to rise now, gird your loins and face the seemingly intractable insecurity,” the group says.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in a statement by Emeka Attama, the media aide to the President General, Chief Nnia Nwodo, and Prince Uche Achi-Ogbaga, the publicity secretary of the Igbo apex body, condemned the killing.

They warned that Ndigbo would no longer watch while their people are being killed like animals in their farms and urged them to rise and protect themselves.

The statement read, “The rampant killing and raping of defenceless people in their homes and farms have made it imperative for people to take all measures possible to defend themselves from these hoodlums.

“Communities should organise themselves and fight back. It is unfortunate that the Federal Government stripped people of their means of self-defence without providing adequate protection for them or ensuring commensurate disarming in the North, especially among herdsmen.

“The Southeast states should expedite action on measures to give their subjects hope of protection from these marauders.

“People, villages and communities, especially Ndigbo, should rise to defend themselves individually and collectively from such marauding criminals more especially as they are said to be non-Nigerians.

“We just cannot continue to allow foreigners, who do not place any premium on the sanctity of human lives, to come into our homes to kill us like rats. Igbo people should stop the complaints forthwith.

“Guard and defend yourselves from senseless massacres. Cordon off your (track) roads to farms, streams and other places to avoid being taken unawares.

FTC!!
I've said this before, with the sorry state of security in nigeria, its all man for himself,
But our governors can collectively come together and create an amotekun-like security outfit here in the south south and south east...
We must not allow these beasts of no nation to take us unawares.
The time to fight is now!

THIS MESSAGE FROM OHANAEZE IS NOT JUST FOR IGBO oooo.... It is also for SS, SW, and MB because we too are being killed while we quietly farm our lands to produce food for our people and the nation.

We can't continue this way.

Nairaland keeps on removing my posts that support SE and SS. So if you want to see the shape of what SE and SS together as Lower Niger Bloc can look like go to Orient Harmony facebook page. Here's the link:

useless elders, defend themselves with stones and stick.


wen fulani kill all of them, u will be elders to the remaining herdsmen.


wicked, greedy things.

Lol.

Defend kwa?

They are busy snooping around Yoruba business.

They aren't interested in whether the east falls to the Fulanis.

They are more interested in what Tinubu ate for dinner last night.

Thank God for Yorubas and Amotekun.

At least they've shown others the way to go.

This Clowns have Been of no Use to the Igbo Nation.
They Have No Voice And No Action on Anything concerning Ndi Igbo

Before nkor We no be hausas wey just De look herdsmen De kill their people without reacting na. I have always said that those herdsmen can never try what they are doing in the North in the south. I don't think any herdman can flaunt AK-47 in the south like they do in the North. The North are the major cause of their problems, they don't just want to take action.

"Defend yourself"
"Defend yourself"


That phrase has been over used and overrated.


"Defend yourself" should be practical and not just oratory and paper work.

so what do you want?

Ohaneze are as good as useless toilet papers,
All this while they have been collecting fund from FG till when Nnamdi Kanu exposed them,
But the truth is we are ahead of every of their manipulation

. What happened at our place...


Fulani man carried his cow into one poor man's farm so the man got angry and killed one of the cow... He took the cow to the police station and brought soldiers join....



They came to carry the man... If not for the village people and youth that defended the man...


The matter strong sha... Las Las police tell fulani make em carry in cow the go say this people strong...

Village people Don ban cows for the village

With what? Stick? while the murderers comes with automatic rifles.

What is delaying our regional security, The yorubas have their what about southeast. What is delaying tufiaa

kollinzgee:

SS where I am from are also DELAYING it. Our kings and chiefs take money and cow gifts from Fulani herdsmen so allow all the trespassing and killing by their bribed silence.

Exactly! Self defense is a fundamental Human Rights.
ONE NIGERIA DOES NOT EXIST!

Better late than never...

Give up thy Lands
And Fem, son of Ashina, who also speaks for King Bubu, son of Hari, arose and walked slowly to the city square. His plump mass seemed to have added more weight. Many said he had fed fat on the falsehoods he dishes. Then he climbed labouriously atop the nearest platform. And he rang his bell seven times so that the people will gather and listen to what he had to say. Then he addressed the people saying, “Thus says King Bubu, father of all and protector of the kingdom, ‘Give up thy lands and water to the Hilani herdsmen for cattle herding, so that the wandering herdsmen may wander no more, nor kill anyone. For what does it profit a man, if he keeps his land and loses his life?’

Excerpts from the book:
The Acts of King Bubu Son of Hari

After collecting bribes from federal government you are now talking rubbish...with what exactly are we going to defend ourselves with against terrorists with AK-47 ammunition

TripleOh7:

Amotekun is as good as dead without being armed. Fulani is still killing and kidnapping all over SW forest.

Without regional security, The East is secured. But they are have taken over your lands.

Be sincere, your leaders are begging the SE to act up with them. You have been caeged.

Tinubu is still looking for the cows

Hmmm

Defending themselves individually is not enough, create South East Security Network now.

hahahahahahahaha

When last did you hear of fulani killing in the south west , the effect of a threat of a blow is sometimes more effective than the blow, keep your hatred to yourself or direct it to inconsequential South East governors

Ask Ohanaeze, how?

Just repeating an exhausted line over and over.....defend yourself, defend yourself, defend yourself....with what and how?

Iboland is already a colony. Barkindo, a Fulani has been executing state contracts and giving them Hausa names like Garki.
