The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday said there was no going back on the decision to ban movement, sale and consumption of Fulani cows throughout the Southeast with effect from April 2022.

The group said the decision followed the desire to preserve the people of the region from being wiped out by herdsmen.

In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB claimed that over N3billion was spent on cow meat annually, insisting that such wastages must stop.


It reiterated its call on those dealing with Fulani cows in the zone to better look for alternatives immediately, warning that it would not spare any herdsmen cows after the April deadline.

The statement reads in part: “We wish to reiterate that our earlier decision to ban the movement and consumption of Fulani cows in Biafra land, from April 2022, is sacrosanct.


“We also wish to correct the misinformation and misconceptions surrounding our position on the issue which our enemies are peddling to blackmail us.

“In the first place, the decision was taken as a last resort after many years of patience over the unprovoked genocidal attacks by Fulani herdsmen on our communities, and the failure of the double-faced Nigeria security agencies to rein in the rampaging Fulani mass murderers.

“We have waited enough and can no longer tolerate the docility and criminal silence of the Federal Government in protecting our communities against these agents of death.

“Since their cows have been the reason the jihadists are slaughtering our people, destroying our farms, raping our women and kidnapping our men for ransom, we have decided to stop consuming these cursed Fulani cows which have now become a source of sorrow and death.

“It’s better we are alive and eat no Fulani cows than desire to eat them and be killed.

“The world should note that before arriving at this IRREVERSIBLE decision, we have made several appeals to the federal government and the security agencies to stop the Fulani from their atrocities in our land but they looked the other way, leaving our hapless communities at the mercy of these messengers of death.

“Our patience has been over stretched beyond its elasticity point. We can no longer afford to fold our arms and be waiting for the last man in Biafra land to be killed by jihadists masquerading as herdsmen.

“Our people waste huge sums of money up to N3bn every year on cow meat and we won’t allow that to continue and encouraging those who have the money to start breeding our local cows (Efi Igbo) and other farming, IPOB will support them to boasts the farming and animal husbandry business.

“Our decision to ban the movement, sale and consumption of Fulani cows throughout Biafra land with effect from April of this year is not borne out of hate but we are safeguarding our land and our people from the evil agenda of Fulanis. Our decision is born out of the natural desire to preserve our race from being wiped out by the herdsmen.

“If you are a Biafran dealing on Fulani cows in Biafraland, its better you look for an alternative now because we won’t spear any inch regarding herdsmen cows after April this year, don’t say we don’t warn you. A word is enough for the wise.”

i'm happy with the news. but still that will not make the government to release Kanu. what i want them to do is to recall all their senators,reps and political appointees to come back home. And never participate in any Nigeria activities.since they have anything in Biafra,let them lock their region till eternity

But una go drink milk!!! Some people are daft

.

I love the Igbos but I don’t like there politics. I believe they are smart enough to play politics better without bitterness

Their reason is clear and they love Nigerians. Say NO to fulanization!

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu & Ipob will defeat Nizooria as usual in their own court in Abuja, it's certain we don't beg for his release because law & Constitution the zoo claim to follow will free him, followed by Referendum.

Meanwhile you can go & tell your community what to do but not Biafran's.
Ipob is doing what pleases the Biafran masses & not what pleases an idiot some where in the zoo, both politicians & the rest.

At the end of the cold war by Nizooria government against Biafran's, they will cause Britain for forcing them & Biafran's together.

trash..you people should stop associating urself to us Nigerians lols

Is there a breed of cow known as Fulani cow? IPOB and foolishness.

The sit at home they foolishly declared have turned out to be economic suicide attack on Igboland.

You are forcing Igbos to patronize efi Igbo, do you know the maturity period of efi Igbo? The idiots think cows just mature within 1 day.

Nonsense ranting

Hisbah21:


trash..you people should stop associating urself you us Nigerians lols

It's our prayers to stop our association with you that's why we are demanding for it to be official & legal by means of Referendum.
Free all our people una arrested including MNK, followed by Referendum or una no go get peace.

Irolabi people of Biafra.

They would soon swallow their own vomit.. Na today?

You are answering a question I did not ask.


Efi Igbo that is not even enough for one local government is what you want to feed 5 states.

A welcome development. Those Futa Jalon terrorists and their afonjaa wives should continue crying till eternity but who cares. Their ranting ends on Social media. We move!!!

u said what?

IPOB no dey joke oooo

It is impossible to ban such in igbo land,a lot of igbo are doing cow business anything that will affect their business will not be supported

Cant wait to see the terror group bring it down real hard on AfghanEastern.

Long may ipob reign in the East.

The fear now is that if IPOB succeed in this their threat, other formerly fearful tribes may be emboldened to follow suit. Fulanis really messed things up for themselves. They thought they were almighty and so nothing would happen

IPOB is a terrorist organization.
They are damaging the reputation of Ndi Igbo.
Igbo elites should unanimously speak out against the consequences of the organization.
IPOB is not different from Talibans in ideology.

Go to court & prove that Ipob is a terrorist organization not on Nairaland.
Meanwhile who are Igbo elites, am an elite too.
Every body is an elite in his house because you can only control you children under aged not even your wife.
We're not almajiri people who are controlled by looters claiming elite.

The federal government should also stop exploiting any kind of natural resources and collection of tax from the entire igboland.

I still maintain that referendum should be called so that the different ethnic groups that call Nigeria home can decide on the way forward. This forced union is not working. The different ethnic groups in Nigeria don't like each other anyway so why this do or die decision to stay together?
