MAIDUGURI – Igbo traders and other non-natives of Borno State have started fleeing the area and relocating to their home-states to avoid being killed by members of the Boko Haram who had murdered scores of people including soldiers, politicians, religious leaders and other security agents in the last two years.

Investigations by Vanguard  revealed that the majority of the non- natives, especially Igbo, have resorted to selling their houses and other landed property, saying that they no longer feel safe to carry out their businesses in Maiduguri and other neighbouring northern states.

It was gathered that those who reside in the crisis-prone areas like Budum, Abaganaram, Kumshe, Ungwar Shanu, Customs area, State low-cost Housing Estate, Gwange, Konar Yobe and London Ciki, among others, have fled their houses, while many of them have put their houses on sale at ridiculously  cheaper rates.

Four soldiers were killed in the latest bomb attack by the Boko Haram in Maiduguri, Borno State, just as two council bosses were earlier shot dead by the sect members.[/b]

Good

Jeel:

Good

Is that because they are leaving to safety or ?

No. Make them no run. Make them stay.

Thank God Igbos in the north are coming back to their senses.

Don't worry, the fools will be back up there as soon as "the coast is clear".

I thought fleeing from such is an act of cowardice as Igbos on NL have been saying. ROTFL!!
Why not stay and fight? Sebi you no dey fear?

So if Non-indigence are fleeing, do NYSC actually expect corpers to go to Borno? eddiots.

Just what Ndiigbo would be doing in those sort of places still utterly baffles me. All for the sake of money?  Tufia.

Hmmm

Igbo flee from non-Igbo territory to their territory, when attacked by indigenes
Yoruba flee from Yorubaland when attacked by non-indigene fulanis
Shame no dey your face?

Gen gen

Irony of Life.

Residents fleeing Borno
NYSC corp members being forced into Borno.

Very disheartening, but seems like the best option now.
Any corper who goes to Borno at this time should have his head examined

At least they are leaving early.
