Thinkam: For over 2months there's only been two casualty from Herders.... Majority of the governors have passed anti-grazing law....
No armed Individual killed by security agents in the east should be mourned or pitied... There's no single reason why Anyone should be armed in the East if you're not a law enforcement agent...

Your question is neither here nor there, if there has been only two deaths from fulani herdsmen in the last two months as you stated, then it's even the more reason why the efforts should be sustained. It means they're effective!
Other regions like North and SW that has no effective counterforce in place, are they not recording massacres in hundreds on a weekly basis?
Fun fact: you shouldn't rest on your laurels or else you return to status quo.
flokii: I think the poster is a little bit biased... fulanis are grazing and attacking people all over from Plateau to Benue to Port Harcourt to Enugu, Abia and co.
South West governors were the first to float a security outfit code named Amotekun to stop killer herders while other regions like South East went to sleep. A governor there was even asking Igbos to fast and pray over killings by fulanis till their people took up arms and started full-scale terrorism.
Truth be told, Yorubas have put a stop drastically to the violent attacks by suspected herdsmen in the South that even Samuel Ortom gave positive comments and praises to the South West governors. Now we have anti-grazing laws in our states that empowers the various states to apprehend and jail any herder caught flouting the law. Except the poster wants Yorubas to start killing fellow Yorubas in the name of fighting herdsmen like IPOBs are doing to Igbos in South East which of course will not happen. Once Buhari completes his tenure in 2023, the Fulanis will head back North.
The prayer now is that a reasonable Southerner with balls to reshuffle the security architecture of the country should emerge president in 2023. Our past leaders in the South are very dull and I'll keep repeating it. If not the North won't take over all the security apparatus under their watch. Another big problem is the Igbos who handed over Nigeria to the North in the 50s' when Azikiwe opted for Tafawa Balewa over a well educated Awolowo, same pattern they continue to follow and will repeat in 2023.
So saying Yorubas are a conquered people is baseless and untrue.
You can continue decieving them with your Taquiya, but Igbos are wiser and understand the game here.
They are on the verge of being totally conquered yet they're more bothered about Igboland. I have not seen a more cowardly and shortsighted people like these guys.
Instead of rallying together to counter those that have invaded and taken over their lands, they prefer to criticize Igbos out of envy.
At least, the barbarian hordes have been dislodged from our forests and they're feeling the heat wherever they are in Igboland and no longer has that air of superiority they usually exhibit in Southern Nigeria. But on the waste side, they're now the new overlords and have become so powerful and invincible there to the extent of organizing prison breaks and using bombs.
I pity them, even the guy that wanted to spearhead a renaissance there was abandoned by them and he is now rotting away in a foreign dungeon.
See what lack of investments is now causing. A whole governor now commissioning car wash
We were criticizing Okowa the other time for commissioning a mega filling station in Asaba with fast food joints and supermarket now look at this, car wash
Positivepoint: Suspected IPOB insurgents have killed a Dangote trailer driver, Saidu Alhassan and two of his assistants, Halliru Mallam and Danjuma Isari, in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State.
Their bodies were found on Thursday near the trailer, and later evacuated to Obajana.
Since the renewed wave of restiveness in the South East, security agents, Northerners and violators of sit-at-home order have been facing violent attacks by the proscribed separatist group.
Notably, in May this year, the insurgents killed Ahmed Gulak, a former political adviser to former president Goodluck Jonathan.
In April, the IPOB insurgents opened fire on six Suya sellers in Orlu and another one in Umuaka Njaba.
Suspected IPOB insurgents and the irresponsible paper had to list the names of those that purportedly died. Even had to mention Ahmed Gulak too as if Northerners are being targeted. Why didn't they mention Dr. Akinyuli and so many Igbos that have died in this madness? The even added that they opened fire on 6 suya sellers. As in they picked suya sellers from different locations, gathered them in one place and opened fire or the 6 suya sellers were selling in one place? Do they now have suya selling hubs or what? What about the customers that usually surround their table??
The trouble this useless paper is trying to incite will completely destroy this country. They should go ahead in promoting ethnic sentiments.
PureNuel: Na their way....Dem go promise you heaven on earth but once they get that power...Dem go turn their back on the people that voted for them
Na whose way? You think say Maduka na Tinubu?! This man is not your everyday naija politician. He is extremely wealthy and a philanthropist extraordinary.
Most Nigerians especially those from North are not naturally bright. They act on instincts instead of logic. They sow oppression, hate, wickedness, cheating and discrimination but expect to reap love, cooperation, and understanding. It never works that way!
We were all here when Buratai kept sending soldiers to kill Igbo armless youths protesting, having meeting or praying. These are all legitimate activities yet their human rights were grossly abused. They were mowed down en mass in the most gruesome way! Worse still, each time the news gets to nairaland, same Nigerians that should know better kept mocking Igbos both the dead ones and their bereaved loved ones. They will be saying things like go and report to UN, FIFA, CAF etc.
Now the chicken has come home to roost. You reap what you sow!!!
PaJamesN: Mbaise is the Greatest clan on planet earth....... People say they too wise... the clan in Igboland... No wonder people do envy them, Do you know that mbaise was the last capital of Biafra. Even Ojukwu had so much respect for Mbaise People That was why he left Enugu, Umuahia or Owerrri and went down to Mbaise to declare Biafra It is Called Ahiara Declaration. In Ahiara Mbaise. Citadel of Wisdom comes to mind. Most of the sophisticated weapons used during the war were produced in Ahiara Tech. Courtesy of Mbaise wise Scientists
Mbaise people have huge population and they go to school a lot. Educational enrollment there is among the highest in Africa. You will see family of 8 children and they are all P.hd holders. When some people claim that Ekiti has the most educated people in Nigeria I just laugh because they probably haven't heard about Mbaise people.
If those Igbo men who climbed to the rank of colonel in US army were to be in Nigeria army, they would have been forced to remain at captain or major while dum.b fulanis will be promoted to colonel. The same mediocrity is applied in all government ministries and agencies were competent people are relegated while incompetent ones are promoted to decision making position because of ethnocentrism. When the British were ruling Nigeria, they enforced merit based system and that was why when they left, Igbos dominated virtually all sectors and Nigeria was growing in leaps and bounds but Ahmadu Bello and other hateful bigots started making hate speeches and by 1966, they acted on it. Since then, Nigeria collapsed and never rose up again because they removed Igbos and replaced them with Fulanis who lacked the competency to manage those roles.
That's one of the basic reasons why I support Biafra.
ubee: Imagine a sectional leader of Ohaneze Ndigbo. Mtcheew! The disease of the rotten leaders of this country plague every tribe, ethnic group, party and creed. Imagine in this day and age of anarchy and uncertainty in the land Ohaneze cannot even unite under one umbrella. How can they have the impetus to achieve goals to the benefit of their region when they are warring in their own group?
As for this infantile and ill thought agitation of this group or any other group of igbos demanding to cut away from Naija, sometimes I wonder if they are well informed or educated as to the adjustments, negotiations, resettlement, forfeitures, ejections etc that take place in the case of a region of a country cutting off to go on their own?
They should think about all the eventualities involved, and do proper planning and weigh their options before making their move to leave Nigeria if not it will be the greatest disaster for them.
Why are you crying more than the bereaved? What exactly do you think Igbos are gaining from Nigeria that they would lose if Nigeria breaks up?
All I can see is morbid fear and desperation by you "one nigerianists". I used to believe in "one Nigeria" too until I studied this country and realized how hopeless it is.
If you think the ovation is becoming deafning, just wait until after 2023 for Igbos to be sidelined again and watch how the rest, particularly the elite will join forces with all other Igbos to form a critical mass.
Igbos are even lucky because everything is now working in their favour; economic regression and collapse, mass insecurity and hysteria etc.
Eteka1: At least Seychelles and the other landlocked Countries you mentioned are not landlocked within another country. We don't want any Country landlocked within Nigeria.
Lol, which ethnic group in Southern Nigeria will have mind to remain once Igbos leave? Can you all stand against the Fulanis for 5 years without being turned to slaves? Why do you think Yorubas, Ijaws and Ibom always increase their agitation anytime they see that Igbos are about to leave Nigeria?
Who else can challenge the Fulanis once Igbos are no longer in Nigeria?
It is Igbos that are holding Nigeria together now, once we break free, the contraption will collapse like a pack of badly arranged cards
Mecka: A recent survey on maternal health and nutrition has placed Bayelsa State as the state with the highest rate of under-five malnourished children in the South-South region and the entire nation.
The report of the survey attributes the high rate to the low coverage of micro nutrients supplementation, especially vitamin A, iron, folic acid and zinc, and called on the state government to strengthen its nutrition activities.
Speaking during a meeting between the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) and the state’s Commissioner for Health, Dr Pabara Newton Igwele, the Assistant Chief Scientific Officer, FMOH and Team Lead on Nutrition, Mrs Yvonne Yinfaowei, said plans were ongoing to tackle the burden of malnutrition and preserve the lives of women in the state.
Yinfaowei noted that Nigeria had a high burden of malnourished children and nutrition- related diseases, especially Bayelsa State, which she said calls for intervention.
Also speaking, the Assistant Directoron Family Planning, FMOH and the Team Lead on Maternal Health, Mrs Madu Ezioma, said a survey would be conducted to know the availability of family planning commodities across primary, secondary and tertiary health facilities in the state.
She said the survey was necessary to ascertain the commodities available and the ones to stock up, adding that the data would be compiled on six major areas, which include Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and the training and exit interviews of clients on the quality of service they receive from health facilities.
While reacting to the report, the Commissioner for Health said that the indices on malnutrition had been low in the state, saying since he assumed office as commissioner, he had made it a priority to provide more funding for nutrition-related activities.
Dr Igwele added that the survey would help the state to know the health commodities that were needed and asked the team to make the data that would be collated available to the ministry to aid policy making.
He stressed that the state governor, Senator Douye Diri, had pledged not to play politics with the health of Bayelsa people and would make the necessary funding available for the distribution of the micronutrient powder donated by the Federal Government.
RobbStark: Reading this trash you wrote, I can feel your pain. Sorry. To start with, Ojukwu is a coward. Same with those that came after him. You said it took the coward 12days to apprehend Boro, pls tell me how many days it took to apprehend and detain your supleme leader, the con artist. Bonny and Opobo are Ijaw territories and nothing you miscreants say here wud change that fact. Wail all you want, it ends here in Nland. You can't chase us into the Atlantic cos that is our abode already, but I am sure to drown you stones wen you try ish in Ijaw territories. Be warned. We the Ijaws don't make empty noise in faceless forum like this, we watch n act decisively without mistake. Just imagine wat Boro wud have done with military wares. When Gowon released Boro, didn't the stupid agitation by the coward Ojukwu come to an end. Go read your history about the Ijaws. Miscreant
There is nothing to read about an inconsequential minority group without history or any thing of worth recorded about them.
Ojukwu is a great man that fought against the entire Nigeria despite massive British support for them. If Ojukwu didn't fight despite the odds against us, every Southerner would have been slave to gambaris and no one would be talking about breaking up Nigeria.
Boro had 1200 ijaw men with him deep in your village, yet it didn't stop Ojukwu from picking him up like the little rat he was. During the Biafra, the fool was conscripted by the Nigerian army to fight on their side against Biafra and the only contribution he made was to be showing them the way to Igboland until Adekunle no longer had any use for him and finally snuffed his life out like a rat. For you guys to be celebrating such a senseless fool shows how inconsequential you minorities have always been. What exactly is Boro's claim to fame? Nothing and he died miserably too.
Ojukwu lived to an old age and when he died, he was given a state burial with full military honours! Despite the fact he fought against Nigeria!!
As for Opobo and Bonny, they are part of Igboland and once Nigeria is no more, they are all coming with us along with other Igbo speaking groups in Niger Delta and there is absolutely nothing an inconsequential ogogoro drinking minority can do about it. Stand in our way, and we feed you all to the fishes in the Atlantic ocean.
You can make all the noise now, form all your cult groups and fantasize with your ridiculous maps, but once Nigeria is no more, we will ensure that Bini gets Gelegele back, Itshekiri and Uhrobo gets the entire Warri back as the original owners and you guys can't do anything about it except you want to commit suicide.
Why do u guys say that Ibo have not receive President since u say they are Ibo.
Mumu.
Honestly, I'm really sorry for you guys because you are digging your own grave. You think Igbos are like Itshekiri or Bini you can drag land with?
Whoever is sponsoring all these charade actually want your destruction and believe me, you guys will get it. By the time we remember you people, all the lands you stole from other minorities will be returned to them. Ijaw starts and ends in about 4 or 5 local governments in Bayelsa, every other place you're laying claim to, does not belong to ijaw. Itshekiri allowed you guys to fish in their waters out of their magnanimity but you guys started dragging Warri with them. Bini allowed you to fish in Gelegele, instead of being grateful, you started dragging Gelegele with them. In Rivers State, you're also trying to drag Opobo and Bonny. Even in Ondo and Akwa Ibom, it is same story of landgrabbing and trespassing.
Hiding in creeks to ambush policemen or destroying pipelines at night doesn't mean you can stand Igbos in anything. It took Ojukwu only 12 days to pick up Boro like the little rat he was and it will take us fewer days to chase all of you into the Atlantic ocean if you dare us.
Have you guys even wondered why we ignore your charade? Because we see you guys as inconsequential and we have bigger challenges at the moment. Two elephants are fighting only for a monkey to be jumping around.
Mark it today, your Waterloo is coming. We will not only take Opobo and Bonny, but we will ensure that every other minority group reclaims their lands fully from you guys. We have the population, international connections and resources to ensure that.
giftibo: Marginalisation of Ndoki people in the present Administration of Abia state government is really worrisome, appointing an Ndoki man as a commissioner for culture and tourism, of all the portfolios is very humiliating and not acceptable to the people of Ndoki Clan and Late, Dr. Solomon Nkem Ogunji whom you claimed to be your dear friend during his lifetime, but has turned around and marginalised his people. The death of our beloved brother, Late Dr. Solomon Ogunji and his missing presence in this dispensation of Abia state government is a serious loss to Ndoki people, we are pained.
His excellency Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu PhD, it's obvious that you have forgotten so soon the struggle, fight, and support of late Dr. Solomon Ogunji and the entire Ndoki people which led to your emergence as the executive governor of Abia state, I am still wandering where and how the Ndoki people went wrong.
After your executive council meeting held on 26th day of October, 2021 how many roads, and government infrastructures was awarded in Ndoki Clan counting from the onset i.e, since the inception of your Administration?
well let it be on record that our struggle and support for you was in vain since we are not remembered during appointments of meaningful positions in your present Administration and awarding of roads and infrastructures for construction. Our roads are so dilapidated, death traps, and not motorable at all.
Coming from Aba, Opobo road through Azumini is no go area, coming through Obehie to Azumini is not different, in my sobering moment, have been thinking and asking myself the kind of crime Ndoki people must have committed against this present Administration that is unpardonable, at the same time still praying to God to vindicate my people.
A very big lessen to us "Ndoki people"
Comr. Sampson Belle
Chairman IYC Ndoki Clan.
What is the meaning of that nonsense in bold? It seems like stupidity is now like an identity to these ogogoro drinkers.
Your delusions will eventually lead to your eternal destruction. ijaw land starts and ends in Bayelsa, any attempts to encroach into Bonny, Opobo, Ndoki or any other part of Igboland will lead to your extermination. Igbos are not minority like Itshekiri or Bini you can drag land with. We are only focusing on Nigeria and its fulani overlords and we keep ignoring you guys because we feel you're misguided and inconsequential but don't push your luck too far.
ANSMEDIA: Andy Uba of APC has presented a well decorated cow as his symbol of what is to be his agenda if by mistake he has his way. All the good of conscience and entire Anambra should reject Andy Uba and make sure he doesn't even win the 3rd place but 4th in the forthcoming election.
Another hopeless Uzodinma must be avoided in Igboland. This one is even the upgraded version because I just don't understand the symbolism of this cow if not to show solidarity to fulanis.
xborr: You're joking and don't understand the implications, it use to be Kaduna, Katsina and Sokoto but now niger and Abuja is been threatened. Tomorrow it could be any state in the south because they are matching down.
Anyone who hasn't understood the pattern of what is unraveling in Nigeria is a dunce. Their target ultimately is Abuja and finally Southern Nigeria. That's why I look at the idiots abusing and condemning courageous youths in the South that are trying to raise a counterforce against these terrorists.
Anyways, Igboland has something to fall back on and fight off the Invaders, I only pity those that betrayed their son who tried to rally against them because of politics. Bosnia will be a child's play to the calamity that will befall them.
MI6Surveillance: [s]Useless hopeless frustrated vagabond, why not return to your backward shithole Imo state and leave Anambra matter.
I don't know why you lots from Imo have inferiority complex and bitterness, why are you bringing Imo motorpark airport in a thread where Anambra international airport is being discussed?
You are bitter about Anambra airport that was why you quickly started talking about Imo motorpark airport. Why were you placing Anambra on the 5th position? Are you the one that determines the position or traffic? This is the veiled bitterness and envy I am talking about.
Stupid lowlife inferior Imo bastard[/s]
Between an Igbo man from Imo State and a dirty Igala man from Kogi state, who should stay away from Igbo affairs?
Look at this miserable and bitter soul who is a permanent resident on nairaland with over 100 monikers he uses to attack Igbos with. If he is not ranting against Imo State, he will be ranting against Enugu, Abia or Ebonyi.
You should leave Igbos and go get a life man, we are not responsible for your miseries and frustrations in life.
Sammy07: How many Oyo indigenes dey outside Oyo compare to Imo?
You're comparing Lagos airport to Ibadan and Akure tickets but refuse to compare PH to owerri
Goan check Flights from PH to Owerri if the tickets remain or not
Akure is less than 5hrs journey to Lagos by bus. How many Ondo people reside outside SW?
Uneducated tout
Lol, you're such an illiterate. You lack comprehension and understanding yet trying to argue with your teacher.
You claimed that Ibadan and other SW airports are deserted because Lagos airport is near and I gave you example with Owerri airport that is very close to P.H airport yet both airports are very busy!
Don't quote me again abeg, I'm allergic to dull brains please!!
MI6Surveillance: [s]Go and drink sniper and drown yourself, frustrated envious bitter ediot from the cursed backward shithole Imo state. Oh you knew there isn't competition when you started talking about the motorpark airport in Imo state in an Anambra related thread? Stupid ediot, na me fit you people. Owerri villager [/s]
You better return to Kogi state, you miserable local Igala man. No Igbo man or Anambra man reasons in such a re.tar.ded way you. Stop impersonating as Igbo from Anambra because you're not and will never be!
Owerri airport is still the fourth busiest airport in Nigeria and if Anambra airport can over take it, I will still be happy because it's a win-win situation. So you can now go and hug the nearest transformer and end your miserable life.
Lowlife Igala man thinks he has an opinion on Igbo matters
How about you check the Port Harcourt to Enugu and see if the tickets no remain
U r just uneducated. Lagos is very far from SE, its understandable. Much Igbo's are outside the SE than other regions outside their regions.
P.h is closer to Owerri compared to Lagos and Ibadan yet P.H and Owerri are the 3rd and 4th busiest airports in Nigeria.
Is Abuja also very near to other SW states? Why is the traffic between Abuja and Ibadan airports almost non existent too? You don't have enough money to change your rusted roofs talk more of flight ticket, who dash monkey banana
MI6Surveillance: [s]This envious bitter frustrated clown from the backward useless worthless shithole Imo state.
Anambra international airport is already the busiest in Nigeria aside Abuja, lagos and PH.
See the rating now: Lagos, Abuja, Rivers and Anambra. These states are the economic hubs and giants of their respective regions. Owerri motorpark airport is not even in the equation. [/s]
Go and hang yourself, frustrated Igala man always bitter with Igbos. There is no competition between Imo and Anambra States because we are one but as an Igala village man, you're too bitter to understand.
ANSMEDIA: This airport is gonna be the busiest airport in Nigeria aside Lagos and Abuja international airports. I can't find a single space in November and December
Wow, good to hear it is already viable before inception. However, it would be tough to displace any of the first 4 busiest airports in Nigeria i.e. Lagos, Abuja, P.H and Owerri.
It would be a great achievement if Anambra airport can become the fifth busiest anyway.
Good news!!! Rivers State should also be forced to pay all the oil money they stole from Imo State all these years, it can't be less than 500 billion naira!
