PoliticsRe: Herdsmen Kill 7 Including 2 Soldiers In Benue (photos) by Almunjid:
MAR2012:
You called out State Governors, and I pointed out the ugly truth: in Nigeria, only the President controls the law enforcement agents.

Sometime ago, a sitting Governor in tj person of Dr. Chris Mgige, was almost forced out of office by Police men who put pressure for him to resign.

While they held him hostage, the politicians behind tj coup, went on radio to announce his resignation.

It intervention of the then VP in the person of Atiku to call the police to order.

State Governors have no power.

It is not possible for us to know how we would have turned out if the Colonial Masters didn't force us into one.

And if you think we can achieve this unity, what are the bases?

What kind of unity can exist between me and Fulani herders who values his cow rather me?

How can I build a nation with people who have such mentality as Boko Haram,; who believes in killing me, they are doing God so good.

Recently, just for fasting - a personal religious devotion, one states in the North short down schools.

Someone believes his religious laws are superior to the Nations constitution, what kind of unity can we have?

We are openly operating two different constitutions.

It will never work.
I agree with the first part of your argument. However, I disagree with your assertion that state governors lack power.

Concerning unity, a regional system of government would have been a more effective solution. Dividing the nation based on language, culture, or priorities is not the answer. With over 500 languages, cultural and linguistic differences are inevitable. Other countries with similar linguistic diversity are still functioning effectively.

While the Fulani people's reputation has been tarnished, unity remains achievable. These atrocities may be politically motivated, occurring with the consent of those in power. Why else would the Fulani herdsmen issue escalate so rapidly?

Remember, not all Fulani people are the same. Making sweeping generalizations is akin to claiming unity is impossible between you and Igbo drug traffickers, baby factory operators, or counterfeit drug producers, who prioritize money and materialism over human life. The same argument could be applied to Yoruba skull miners who believe wealth can be generated through rituals. Each ethnic group has its challenges and outliers. Punish criminals, but do not reject entire communities due to these differences. Do not be misled into believing Boko Haram fights for God; their interpretation of Jihad, killing innocent non-Muslims, contradicts Islamic teachings.

Closing schools during Ramadan was a misguided decision by the state governments in question. Even Saudi Arabia keeps schools open during Ramadan. This is what happens when underqualified governors are in power.

Regarding prioritizing religious laws over the national constitution, this occurs across various regions. In Igbo land, traditional religions and cultural practices persist, with uncles seizing inheritances and children of the deceased being driven from their father's homes. Are these practices constitutional? The caste system of "osu" certainly isn't. Each region's customs are shaped by culture or religion; a regional system of government could better accommodate these differences. In India, for instance, diverse cultures are represented within their government structure. Did you know that there's a region in India (Tamil Nadu), where a woman can legally marry more than one husband?

In essence, your argument advocating division based on differences is flawed. We should strive to establish a more comprehensive system of government that respects our differences while promoting unity, equality and inclusivity.

MAR2012:
State Governors do have enough authority to provide security for their states.

All the law enforcement agents are answering to the State Government.

Do not speak as if you are not in this country.
Nigeria is a deliberate creation of the Slave Masters to subjugate the black man.
As I said earlier, we should start assigning blame from the bottom and work our way up, not the other way around. Moreover, it would be unfair to attribute Nigeria's issues with insecurity, corruption, poor governance, and disunity solely to our colonial masters. Many countries were once comprised of smaller kingdoms, emirates etc before they were united and are now doing well.

If Nigeria hadn't been amalgamated by our colonial masters, it's likely that we would still be divided into numerous smaller entities. These smaller countries would likely struggle with similar issues we're facing today. One of the reasons Nigeria is still struggling is because it's yet to achieve the unity necessary for growth and progress. Nigerians failed to understand that what unity cannot provide Nigeria cannot be achieved through division either, even if Nigeria were divided into 774 countries—the same number as our current local government areas.

Omo, the rate of ritual and cultist activities in Benin is becoming a source of concern. Almost all boys in Benin are cultists! Their number one musician brandishes owl and cultist signs in his musical video. There's need for spiritual revival in that State. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome should initiate a week long crusade in Benin.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome might even be worst than those young cultists. Many of the so-called men of God with mega churches engage in fraudulent activities and rituals, even going as far as burying human heads at their altars to attract large congregations to their churches. Do you know how many humans he might have sacrificed to get to the level he is today? Those who pretend to be holy among us often turn out to be the most treacherous and wicked, if only we knew.

check any global or international agency website with demographic details of all world countries, Nigeria has a low life expectancy rate.

Go to the general hospitals or teaching hospitals and you will realise it.
You provided an elaborate response without addressing my query. I specifically questioned how the life expectancy of 54.6 years in Nigeria was determined. Referring me to websites of international agencies or general hospitals does not answer my question.

It's unclear how these agencies arrived at the 54.6-year figure. Using only data from general or teaching hospitals within the country may not accurately represent the overall life expectancy. Other factors should be considered when determining this figure. Please suggest a more reasonable method for assessing life expectancy.

I'm curious to know how the life expectancy of 54.6 years in Nigeria was determined. It seems questionable, as many Nigerians live well beyond 54 years. It seems like someone just pulled this number out of thin air and labeled it as Nigeria's life expectancy, and others blindly believe it. In my opinion, the average life expectancy in Nigeria is between 60 to 65 years.

It's fantastic that the necessary steps are being taken! However, it's a bit puzzling why it took so long for this issue to be addressed. As I mentioned in other threads, the problem of Igbo children in the East struggling with their native language is quite prevalent. In fact, studies have shown that about 50% of Igbo children do not speak the language fluently. The Ohaneze Ndigbo worldwide organization has also raised concerns about the lack of proficiency in Igbo among young Igbo children. It's crucial to prioritize the preservation and promotion of the Igbo language to prevent it from becoming endangered.

I can't but laugh. You see how you have exposed yourself as a Yoruba although claiming middle beltan without indicating your tribe. You didn't comment on your language also going extinct neither did you reply to my observation that middle beltans are also fast losing their local languages. Since I have been in Abuja, I haven't seen ebira or igala children conversing among themselves in their local language. My point is that it isn't only Igbos who are in danger of their language going extinct, yours is also in the danger of the same

Now back to the issue of Hausa and Yoruba committing lesser crimes, now tell me if the aboki who sold me chaff instead of beans gets the opportunity to sell pieces of chalk instead of paracetamol, wouldn't he gladly do it? Why say his thievery was a lesser evil unlike selling fake drugs? Who are the champions in oluwole in Nigeria? Who are the leaders in household products adulteration in Nigeria? I once bought TCP antiseptic from a Yoruba woman and it turned out it was coloured water she sold me.
On the issue of drug pushing, do you know the number of Yoruba arrested both at the Nigerian airports and overseas? Who are the largest users of tramadol? Northerners. Wherever you see them gathered together, search them and see different types of illicit drug on them including marijuana, So whatever crimes you accuse Igbos of are also common in your region.

Get me right. No Igbo from the core 5 Igbo states deny being Igbo. It is those of them you people carved out to join Rivers, Delta, Akwa ibom and brainwashed them to deny their identity especially after the war. And they are few by the way. No Igbo person is denying being Igbo, it's in the fiction of your imagination. So when you meet such people, don't take them seriously. We the original Igbos don't give a hoot about such few. How can a nwafor deny being Igbo and say he is hausa or Fulani or Yoruba? Impossible.
Btw, from which tribe are you in the middle belt? Your languages are already going extinct. Abuja is a mini Nigeria. My neighbors are from nassarawa, kaduna, benue and so on, how many of their children understand their local languages? Non. They all communicate in pidgin Even in their rooms and I do challenge them for doing that. Even their names are now English. So better be worried about your already extinct languages and leave Igbos alone.
Talk about materialism, I went to the gwagwalada market to buy beans from an aboki. Could you imagine that he hid the dirt and the beans chaff underneath and sold for me from under having deceived me with the clean seeds he decorated the surface with? So don't defend anybody including your people
We're talking about serious crimes that are often associated with the Igbo tribe, such as running baby factories, producing counterfeit drugs, engaging in drug trafficking etc. However, you're focusing on relatively minor issues like deception perpetrated by an Aboki beans seller. It's important to consider the severity of these crimes and their impact on the wider society. For instance, fake drugs produced by some Igbo individuals can cause harm or even death, while counterfeit products from places like Aba contribute to the circulation of low-quality goods across the country. Drug trafficking by some Igbos has also damaged Nigeria's international reputation.

I understand that these criticisms may feel like an attack on the entire Igbo community, but that's not the intention. Rather, it's essential to acknowledge the gravity of these crimes and work towards addressing them instead of attempting to justify them by pointing out the misconduct of other tribes, even if those offenses are less significant. This is not about inciting hatred towards Igbos, but rather encouraging a genuine effort to tackle the root causes of these issues for the benefit of both the Igbo community and the nation as a whole.

Na wa for you Yoruba folks. We should always talk about other people's problems and overlook ours. I was trying to let you know that your people are also complaining that your language would soon go extinct but you aren't worried. Why do you care and worry much about Igbos over your people?
Again l said you are commenting on an Igbo matter as an outsider. No Igbo person from Abia, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi and Enugu would deny or avoid being Igbo. But those from neighbouring states who were brainwashed are those you meet and they deny their identity. You would hear someone bearing Okechukwu but claim he isn't Igbo. So don't judge our tribe because you meet such people. Igbos are proud and would never deny their tribe. Btw, don't deny your tribe and claim middle belt
Lol, I'm glad you admitted that some Igbo people are already denying their identity, with many avoiding their language and culture, the issue is so severe that it's likely we'll hear more news about Igbo individuals involved in drug trafficking before the end of this week. Once again, I want to emphasize that I'm not Yoruba, but rather from a minority tribe in North Central Nigeria. My comments are not influenced by any Yoruba-Igbo animosity.

Instead of defending your people, consider taking action if you're among the few innocent individuals who do not engage in criminal activities for a living. Start working towards changing the attitudes and mindset of your people that promote materialism or the "get rich or die trying" culture. This may be a challenging task, but it's worth the effort.
As a non-Igbo person, I empathize with the innocent Igbo individuals who are affected by the negative stereotypes. I believe that mockery won't solve the problem, and my comments and sympathy for the innocent Igbos stem from a genuine desire to see positive change.

Lol, your argument lacks substance, as it's akin to claiming that other tribes also partake in negative activities like running baby factories, engaging in prostitution, producing and selling counterfeit goods, or participating in drug trafficking. While it is true that these issues are present in other tribes, the higher proportion of Igbos involved in such activities indicates that they are more commonly associated with these crimes and vices.

Regardless of your counterarguments, the reality is that the Igbo language is indeed at risk of becoming extinct, even though it may be difficult for you to acknowledge this fact. Over the next 20 to 50 years, it is likely that a significant number of Igbos will have assimilated into other tribes, providing an opportunity for those who are already disheartened by their Igbo heritage to claim affiliation with other ethnic groups. By the way, I'm not a Yoruba man; I am from the Middle Belt region. cheesy

You are speaking as an outsider. That's how the enemies have been trying to disparage the mighty Igbo nation. I know many Yoruba who frown at their children speaking Yoruba. Even many Gwari children in Abuja are embracing pidgin English over their language. My 4 kids are presently growing in Akure, but Igbo is their first language before any other. So nobody is denying Igbo because that tribe is a blessed tribe. So forget about some of them speaking your language, it's because they grew up over there
Lol, are you suggesting that both my perspective and the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide's concerns are unfounded and untruthful? While it is true that there are children of other tribes who cannot speak their native language, the prevalence of Igbo children unable to speak their native language appears to be considerably higher. This trend has prompted the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide organization to express concern about the potential decline in Igbo fluency and the endangerment of the Igbo language, not just among Igbos outside of Igbo land but also within Igbo land itself.

Sadly, it appears that many Igbo individuals are now distancing themselves from their own community. The Igbo language itself is at risk of extinction, as numerous Igbo people have stopped speaking it. I've encountered several Igbo children who can communicate in English, Hausa, or Yoruba but are unable to speak their native Igbo language. The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide organization has stressed the importance of Igbo parents teaching their children their native language to prevent its potential extinction. This situation is truly regrettable.

Outside of Igbo land, many Igbo individuals prefer to live among other tribes rather than their own. They also avoid returning to Igbo land due to fears of violence and potential property theft, as some may hire assassins to target them and drive their children away to claim their possessions. The greatest threat to an Igbo person often comes from fellow Igbo individuals, which is deeply disheartening.

It is undeniable that each tribe has its own strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, the negative aspects associated with the Igbo tribe seem to be particularly overwhelming. The prevalence of criminality among the Igbos has become a severe issue, surpassing mere mockery. When putting myself in the shoes of the few innocent individuals, I can imagine the emotional distress they may experience when their tribe's reputation is tarnished by the majority's actions. It can be exhausting to continuously defend and justify such behavior, leading to embarrassment and frustration.

Igbo people need to recognize the problem and change their attitudes and mindsets for the better. However, many of them seem oblivious to the issues at hand, making it difficult for those who are aware to effect positive change. This is why I empathize with the few who understand the gravity of the situation, as they must endure the challenges brought about by their fellow tribe members.
