Alhaji Altines house in Enugu was burnt down by a Mob in 1966 after the July Coup and his family bearly escaped with their lives

Alhaji Altine was a Sokoto Prince who had fought as a Soldier during the 2nd World War had Settled in Enugu as a Cattle dealer importing Cattle from the North and had married an Igbo Lady

BigSarah:


Really? What's the source..
Or this is another revisionist attempt

christistruth01:



All Northerners were under attack in the East after the July 1966 Coup and Killings in the North

It is not even News

BigSarah:


That's completely false, even pastor adeboye said himself and other non Eastern region tribes were allowed to evacuate the East peacefully...
So your claims are false

Pending when you present the source of Altine and his family being killed and all northerners or all non-eastern region tribes

Igbos and Fulanis are siblings. Now that the goings get sour, they blame Awolowo and Yorubas.


It is only a fool that can meddle in Igbo - Fulani family matters.

BigSarah:


You said altine and his family was killed
You also said all Northerners were killed.

Yakubu also testified, many Northerners were peacefully evacuated by the Igbos(albeit casualties) unlike in the North were there wasn't...
Based on the first ten minutes of the video

christistruth01:



Kindly show me where I said Altine and his family were Killed please

BigSarah:


Touche
You said house burnt down and barely escaped alive ? My bad
Well that's not certain either

Here is a picture of Mallam Umaru Alttine , the first Mayor of Enugu. He was a Fulani man from Sifawa in Sokoto Caliphate.

Mallam Umaru Altine, was elected in 1952 as the first Mayor of Enugu, the heart land and heartbeat of the Igbo Nation. He was in office till 1958. He was elected a Councillor in 1954 and Chairman of the Council in same year. He became Mayor of the Enugu Municipal Council in 1956, when Enugu became a Municipality.

His story is usually held up as "the example of unity we could have achieved" he may have been a ‘token’ experiment in 1954 - 1956 but after leaving the NCNC he was certainly a popular candidate. he was well loved by the populace, without question winning against formidable odds.

He returned to the North during the 1966 crisis and focused on his business away from public life, hence his disappearance from public life never to resurface again.

That happened

BigSarah:


Word of mouth?

BigSarah:


There are millions of literature available online demonizing both sides..
I'm not interested in the uncivil war.

This topic is about the fulani mayor elected and your accusation, I only want to know how people who heavily elected a long time dweller will turn on him...
If he was just a long time dweller I'll look away but he was overwhelmingly elected

Enugu was originally a Fulani ancestral State. Soon the North will reclaim Enugu

tempest01:


Shut up you dumb propagandist

christistruth01:



Don't start Trouble

It was Northern Enugu state that was Igala

and wherever the Igala were they Always fought off the Fulani Jihad Successfully same with the Tiv and Jukuns

Godons1:


Lies.
Fulani are the true owners of Enugu State. They will soon reclaim their ancestral State.

Have you heard today's news

Sheikh Gumi is visiting Herdsmen in the Yoruba Forests of Kogi

And we both know that he is up to no good there looking for Trouble

Otherwise he would have gone to his home State Zamfara which has been overun thousands of Killer Herdsmen and Bandits high on drugs ,running Wild , Creating Chaos in all directions and attacking everyone

You better leave Enugu alone and deal with the one already in your backyard
