_Urges govt, BCDA to proffer parmanent solution to border crisis _

An Independent Peacebuilding organization, Foundation for Peace Professionals popularly known as Peacepro as expressed concerns over the persistent recurring border related crisis in Nigeria.

The organization, which has been mapping threat to Peace across the country also noted that, intra and Inter state border related crisis had broken out or persisited in more than 20 states of the federation in 2021.

In a statement by the Executive Director of PeacePro, Mr Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the group stated that, in the january edition of PeacePro's State of Peace report alone, land related communal dispute led to crisis in more than 13 States of the federation and in the subsequent months, similar clashes occured in more than 20 states of the federation .

According to Hamzat, Inter State border clashes between Abia and Akwa Ibom Ikwuano Council communities
and Ini and Obot Akara Council claimed several lives in January, while Clashes between Enugu and Ebonyi State border Communities also claimed many lives.

Hamzat also noted that, intra state border related crisis took place in many States of the federation.

"In Osun State, intra state crisis took place between Erin Osun and Ilobu Communities. In Adamawa State, it was between Lamurod Community and others. In Akwa Ibom, Okopedi and
Ammamong and several other Communities were engaged in armed conflict. In Anambra State, it was between
Aguleri, Umueri and Umuoba. In Benue State, Ibilla took up arms against
Ukpa community. In Cross River, Abakang was against Alok. In Delta State, Effium was against Ezza community. In Taraba State, Tiv and Jukun in
Chachenji village took up arms against each other and several other States across the federation". He said.

Hamzat also decree the none implementation of several court judgements relating to land disputes in the country, saying that government should not continue to disregard its own institutions, as that would amount to culpable in the persistent crisis of land in the country.

According to him, there are several court judgements in the country relating to land disputes, including surpeme court judgements that are not yet implemented and some of these judgements are dated back to the 1980's".

He noted that the none implementation of these court judgements has encouraged lawlessness across the country, not only from disputing communities, but also from government.

"While PeacePro's is aware that court judgements are mostly given based on soundness of lawyers and legal technicalities, not necessarily to resolve the matter in a truthful manner, we still beleive that judgements from the highest court in the land over land disputes should not be left un-executed".

He therefore called on Federal government, state governments and Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) to come up with initiatives to address the numerous border related disputes in the country to avoid persistent bloodshed that has become a regular part of our experience in the country.

Lmao misplaced priorities. Have they secured the little they have? But to be very honest and not to downplay this concern, greed is a major player in every of our problem in this clime. People playing history cards to suit their agenda. Shey wahala is kuku a present continuous tense in Nigeria. We dey here dey watch. All I know is that when the time is right for true and real revolution, nobody can stop anybody.

What are they dragging?
Every part of Nigeria is the same,no matter where you live you will experience the following:-
Bad road.
Poor electricity.
Dilapidated educational institutions.
Bad leadership.
Security high handedness.
Dilapidated health sector.
Etc.

Why not quitely stay in whichever side you find yourself and stop this nonsense fight and senseless killing.

I will blame it on Buhari and Osibande

The killings by herdsmen and bandits are worse

a failed country

Niger area was never meant to be

So many divisions within this Nation

Hope they are not going to blame herdsmen on this?

I have read severally about the communal clash in Ebonyi state that one of the affected community sometimes invite Fulani not Fulani herdsmen to attack the other communities.. It has been confirmed severally by few Igbos on NL

Hmmmm

Good morning to my fellow Nigerians except IPOB and Afonja Christians

Afonja newspapers

Because just like Nigerian border is a scam by the British.

State maps are a scam by the northerners led by GOWON.

Now people are confused about where their territory begins and where it ends.

Some are claiming other people ancestral lands because of the stupid state borders that make absolutely no sense

Ezza and effium are in Ebonyi state not Delta.

Thanks to Nigeria, that concord... I began to wonder how different states will fare if they are allowed to become an independent country OR how Yoruba tribal wars may start (E.G) will an Ijebu man alow an Egba rule over him? Thanks to this concord called Nigeria.

Don't mind the guy below, Yorubas are not one, Nigeria made them one.

Don't mention me if are not smart enough to decode what i wrote

None in the South West. The one in Osun had no bloodshed. All Yorubas are one.

Population growing

In 1991 we.were 89million now we are 200.million.

And our landmass has not increased at all

At this rate, how many pieces do you want to divide the country for there to be peace? 200 or more??

That is the problem I have with secessionist movements, they tend to breed more secessionist movements.

Restructuring is better for Nigeria...if its proponents can be more specific about its goals.

Land consumes those who fight because of it....

This news is most probably erroneous and misleading.
There is no Effium or Ezza located in delta state.
someone should prove me wrong.
Buhari is a tyrant

Ok, inter ooo or intra ooo crisis all dis ones na warmup, the real kasala go soon bust... The thing go shock UARian

Ok

So much hunger in the land. If belly is full, who cares about fighting his neighbour.
