patriot2: No some of them hide behind religion and use it as a catalyst for power: those ones are neither muslim neither christian: some military officers have caught IBB eating pork, for example. Look at the governor of lagos if you want to see a non corrupt and devout patriot ! and guess what: he is muslim. A good muslim is a non corrupt and peaceful man. So is a good christian. But too many who have claimed to be christians were corrupt (on the other hand too many who have claimed to be muslim were terrorists) So only the people can chose who they prefer: muslim governor or christian governor.

patriot2: Actually not all the governors are muslim, but the fact is that in politics christianity rimes with corruption. So we prefer someone who is muslim as a governor, given he is not one of those jihadist pushing for shariah, but rather a good muslim respectful of other faiths and not corrupt.

Mr.chippychappy:


Hate ? who hates the yorubas ? OPEN YOUR EYES and look around the south west particularly kwara , yewa in ogun state and ibadan EVEN in oshogbo . The Hausas have been in YORUBALAND for YEARS , They like it there. Both tribes (Hausa and Yoruba) Inter marry , share the same cultural and religious views , look alike etc . The point i am trying to make is this : The best place for the STF to relocate the fulanis to is the SOUTH WEST . This is one nation and we MUST BE OUR BROTHERS KEEPER. Stop being a tribal bigot , I have no problem with the Fulanis neither do i have any problem with Yorubas .

thats not true its 40 christian,40 muslims and 10 traditional , all the governors are muslims to start with ,that shows that the muslims are even more powerful and influential than the christian yorubas.

what I hate with you is your lack of modesty and your unilateral discussion. You are not even Edo, yet you claim you know better about Edo than an Edo. You seem to have predicted the future for everybody in Edostate. You keep insulting the only empire which really fought the british (tell me what fight the igbos put against the british ? ) You coward bunch of cannibals were rushing to their churches in order to convert and therefore avoid being killed. Mumus ! you are not better than the haussas who chose to bow down to fulani. I.diots, you have no glory, you filthy slave recipients, you are born to be our slaves and slaves in general: in edo igbo which is the name we gave to you means slave; So go to hell. you are beneath me!!!!!!

The army is a federated army with people from all the kingdoms. it is the army of the empire and it is doing its job which in this case is to keep the peace. As we have witnessed it several times there will not be peace until the Fulanis leave the area. So Good Job soldiers !

Hopeless slave the british said it in all their documents: The Oba of Benin gave the strongest resistance to the british invaders. So helpless igbo cannibalistic slaves who we used to trade with the portuguese keep your mouth shot. And one other thing: Edo was already civilised before the british invasion and was an empire therefore the fact that a lot of ethnicities are in it is not a mystery. The Bini are the rulers of Edo empire. The Oba of Benin is the ruler of the entire Edo. he doesn't need to be an Isian to also be their ruler just as Obama doesn't need to be white to rule over white americans.

Well it's time for individual soldiers to take a decision, then we can know who actually wants declare the genocide on the fulanis.

manbuchai: I represent what you dread/fear most,why did you or your parents fought to keep Nigeria one.Millions of other ethic groups died during the war just to have the igbos in Nigeria,why? Cant you read the hand writing on the wall? For your information,i vowed never to set my foot on any northern soil.I detest their way of life,they have no value for human life,killing innocent women and children is a hobby to them!

patriot2: In which history books did they say Bini were sold as slaves ? have you lost your mind ? You slave! All you can do is try to change history. But you can't your uncle was sold as a slave, shut it.

Wow! The most ignorant and dumb post I've read on this thread today. Benin "empire" fought no british but the Benin "kingdom" tried and got sack in about a week or so. We Igbo, and it is well documented put up the highest resistance towards the british than any other group in nigeria. Go read. My people alone, Anioma people(Western Igbos), fought the british for over 30 good long years! Benin, gini? Come on my friend go sit down.

patriot2: I read the history books in a library in London and I saw documentaries. The Bini defeated the british in 1895, and then the british took two years to prepare a military expedition and came back in 1897 and won the war. get educated, or at least seek from books which were not written by some igbo story teller. See you slave.

Your question doesn't make any sense, the Army told the innocent people to evacuate because there are terrorists who are using them as human shields. What better reason can there be to evacuate people?

patriot2:
How was the british empire to justify that it had just been beaten by a black nation without risking rebellion in places like india ? the only solution was to lie and pretend, but ask historians, they will tell you the truth. It was a full scale war and they lost.
