Red Alert!!!

Villages between Nsukka - Enugu are in severe danger of being attacked and massacred!

More than 60 new Fulani herdsmen settlement have been counted clearly via satellite imagery. Go to your google earth now and see these exploding herdsmen territory for yourself in these areas identified with yellow thumbnails!

Governor Ugwuanyi should be made aware of these growing new illegal settlements on people's farms and places mapped out for building residential estates. Why can't these people join the other legitimate Fulani livestock dealers in the designated cattle markets etc, instead of hiding in people's farms in the bush and building new permanent Fulani villages in people's farms? What is their true intention?
Is this their RUGA through the back door and unannounced on TV, while they quietly annex people's villages under the pretext of being nomadic herdsmen? Meanwhile, they are building new permanent structures on people's land!

You can clearly see the herdsmen are now building permanent structures illegally on people's farms and forcefully occupying them. There is every intention for a bloody conflict with the villagers now that Miyetti Allah plans to even arm them more than they already are.

Now ask yourself, DANGOTE is richer than the top 20 Nigerian billionaires COMBINED! Ifeanyi Ubah isn't even in top 100 Nigerian billionaires!

WHERE IS DANGOTE'S PALLIATIVES TO PEOPLE OF KANO, KADUNA AND THE NORTH-WEST??

IF IT'S TO TAKE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND WAIVERS ON BEHALF OF THE NORTH-WEST, DANGOTE WILL BE 1ST NAME HERE.

Anyway, Aboki deserve the type of people they put in important positions.

We walked forward, still protesting the locked gates when a white minivan parked right beside us. The driver probably knew we were destined for Awka. Since he guessed right, there wasn’t any need to overthink the decision so we hopped in.

N200 was what each of us paid for the fare to Ogbunike junction where we met about a dozen bike riders waiting impatiently to take passengers to Ogunike cave. Looking at how the bikers almost knocked themselves over to win our love, I could tell that the day probably had been plagued with low patronage.

We finally chose 2 of them without any tangible criteria aside from the fact that they were at the front. Both bikers kicked their bikes to life at the same time like synchronized swimmers. We negotiated the fare while on transit. Each rider would get N150 each.



The road which led to Obunike was as smoother than the highway to hell. It reminded me about the one I traveled on while going to Arinta waterfall. It was more fun as both bikes overtook themselves intermittently. I pretended I wasn’t enjoying the drama but it was damn fun until we got off the rated road to a very large body of forest. “This can’t be Ogbunike.” I tried convincing myself while our rider halted the bike somewhere around the middle of the forest.


The only attributes which gave Obunike away as a tourist destination was the signpost bearing the rules and regulations about the cave. Nothing more. But I kept my cool as our rider motioned us to follow him towards the centre of an open field within the forest.

The Management Team
A small tree with broad branches served as the office. Tree men sat on a bench under the tree with straight faces as we walked closer to them. One of them with a big belly looked permanently angry. One would think he’s witnessed too many awful things in his lifetime. Clasped in his right hand was a bottle of big stout which had a fly perching on the tip but he cared less. The two other guys were the tour guides.



We greeted and asked how much it’d cost to access the Ogbunike and they made us understand it is N1,000 each. I was down on cash, so I asked if we could pay with our card but the look they gave me was enough proof that my question was like a taboo. “Una no fit use card o.” said the guy on the left. “Unless una go transfer the money make I go help una collect am for the bank for town. But una go add N500 for bike”.

We didn’t have a choice, so I transferred N10, 500 so he can withdraw N10,000, take N5,000 for our entrance fee and give me a balance of N5,000 so I can go home with some cash.

He zoomed off as soon as his phone beeped.

The guy by the right motioned us to follow him and we obeyed, lined up in a straight file behind him as thought we were going to be used for rituals. He looked fearless as he tore through the narrow pathway into the denser part of the forest. Things began getting scary as the forest enveloped us, making it impossible to see the clouds.



I’ve not seen so many people inside a forest before. Most of them were students who have come for an excursion. They all were looking really excited about the entire experience and they posed in their respective underwear as they thronged towards the nearby river. It was a sight to behold as we descended the concrete staircase that led downwards the cave’s entrance.




Venturing Inside Ogbunike Cave
Now we are going to enter the cave now. But you need to off your shoe there.” our guide said, pointing to a spot where we saw at least 100 pairs of footwears scattered on the swampy floor. We chose a free section of the spot to store our shoes to avoid hurting stories. I mean, I can’t imagine returning all the way to Anambra barefooted. Even a Celestial Christian won’t do such.


The belly of Ogbunike

In no time, our guide moved close to the huge body of rock while I kept wondering where the cave’s entrance was. “Or are we going into the rock through an invincible door?” I was still looking for an answer when he pointed to a very tiny hole by the base of the rock.

“Na here we go enter.” I was astounded but I did well in masking my shock. ‘This hole is just big enough to accommodate a crouching average-sized human!” I protested to myself. And before I could drop my placard, our guide had disappeared into the rock through the hole. Bukola, Victoria, and Tope followed him as though it was planned. I was left alone with John Bosco. And as I tried asking if he was scared too, he switched on his phone’s torchlight, crouched and disappeared after them without looking at me.

Ha!



It was one of the scariest things I’ve done since I started traveling. For the lack of a better context, it was a 5 minute-journey that looked like 5 days filled with more horrific moments that I saw in Igodo– a 1999 Nollywood flick produced by Pedro Obaseki. My adrenaline rushed faster than it did when I went alone to Kwara in search of Owu falls. My legs were shaky and sweaty (even though the cave was f*cking cold), the water from the stream flowed rapidly as it swept the sand beneath my feet in the process. Making the entire thing more creepy. I had lost my voice already as I took an average of 1 step every 5 seconds.

Then, when I thought I’ve seen it all, they started rushing towards us in droves. I’ve never come close to so many bats and flying insects at once in my entire life. I didn’t know where I gathered the strength to scream that much. But that didn’t stop the entire colony of bats from having their way. Our guide made us understand that the bats were harmless, but that did little in calming any of us.

Halfway into the tunnel, we contemplated turning back but we were already made to understand that it is a taboo to go out through the same entrance we came in through. So we continued advancing towards the exit.

Here’s a video recording of us in the tunnel.

The joy we wore on exiting through the other opening of the cave was indescribable. Our guide probably was enjoying our company because he immediately suggested we go see the flowing River Nkissa which was adjacent to the cave.

We had a swell time enjoying the views around the river. We also took turns in savouring the coolness of the stream by dipping our legs into it as we posed at different corners to take pictures.

Left for me, we could stay by this river all day if there was nothing like day and night but the cloud was already shutting her eyes, and that meant only one thing. We needed to return to our base in Onitsha.

There is no doubt that the Ogbunike caves have major tourist potential. I tried imagining how amazing the atmosphere would look like if the tunnels were carefully designed with colourful lighting, and the environment redesigned to have mini cabins where tourists and travelers can sleep over to catch a night view of this beautiful beast in the heart of Anambra.

Home came calling
Now tired and severely hungry, we retraced our steps back up to the land of the living. John Bosco pulled a call across to our bikers to come to pick us up, and in what took like 10 minutes, they arrived and we sat in the same order as we did earlier and rode on the same smooth road back to te express.

We bade John goodbye while we watched him join a waiting bus at the other side of the express road to Awka, shortly before a blue bus heading towards Onitsha stopped in front of us.

Back at Onitsha, the first thing we did was went in search of an ATM to fetch more money that we could spend on food and travel the next day.

Our plan On getting to our hotel was to eat our food and play some games but as the saying goes, Man can only propose. No one had any more energy for those games as we returned to our various rooms and slept carelessly till the next morning.

Now, would I want to go into that tunnel at Ogbunike cave again? Hell No!

But would I advise you to try it out? Absolutely yes! The adventure is crazy!

Yorubas has being so kind to Igbos that why they have this mentality that they can insult Yorubas and nothing will happen. Igbos time is up accross Yoruba land. This Children of hate have almost half of their population living in Yorubaland, such Lagos state, of recent a massive increase in their population in Ikorodu, Sango OTA, Mowe, Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ibadan etc. Also our recent findings make us to know that there is an increasing population of Igbos in Ondo state, this is because Akeredolu wife who is an Igbo lady has being awarding state contracts to Igbos in Ondo state, directly enriching them and selling the state land to them. For any Igbos reading this, your time, freedom and peace that you have being enjoying in Yorubaland is gradually coming to an end. There will be increased in fire incidents across Yoruba land which will be majorly Igbos dominated areas and those that still fail to relocate back to the east shall face hell in Yorubaland and all the properties you own in Yorubaland will be confiscated. REVELATION. #Igbosmustgo

Why don't you just take a koboko or machete and chase them out of their house instead of writing rubbish on NL? Igbo does not even need to retaliate before all of you will run away from every city in SE and SS.
Your father just wasted his sperm on a woman for a spineless millipede

My advice for you is to continue wasting precious time worrying about how to hate and do evil instead of fixing your life.


Eniyan buruku!

HMmn The circle continues.
The present government borrows and leaves debt for next government. And when the next government comes to power they begin to blame the previous government.
we can't go forward by continuing this way. We have other options available. After all they are many ways to kill a rat without shedding blood.

BUHARI and MINDLESS BORROWING!

This coronavirus is another opportunity to pile massive debt that even 10 generations cannot free themselves.

Anyway, let us kwantinue to pile up debt.

One day 100% of Nigeria's budget will be for debt servicing of interest on these loans

OreMI22:
STOP clapping for me. I just exposed the Op. because it was clear he was a Yoruba boy with silly intentions to start e-war between Igbos and Fulanis. No Igbo would post some of his pictures.

If he was truly Igbo, he would know that the picture was not from SE.

Aksnoopy:
The issue of aniomas being igbo has once again been settled on twitter with majority of Igbo's who speak the anioma dialect of Igbo arguing that they are more Igbo than their eastern brother's and sister's. I totally agree with the fact that anioma's are truly igbo's, politics aside. Here is Hon ndudi elumelu, the younger brother of Tony elumelu the CEO of UBA bank affirming his igboness on the lower floor of the National Assembly.

ChimaAdeoye:
I typically don't respond to goons. But, i want to tell you that your silly Pro-Igbo Kyari-propaganda with numerous monikers is totally pointless & fools nobody.

Obiano NEVER recieved any money! If not, please provide evidence that Obiano was paid N30 billion. The present FULANI cabal occupying Aso Rock would have paid Chad and Cameroon for their work on FG project, before they pay any Southeast nyamuri state - FACT!

Again, second Niger bridge is counterpart funded project that will be tolled so that Julius Berger will recover their money. If it were to be built as a normal Federal bridge project such as the bridge over River Niger at Ajaokuta or over River Benue , the current Federal Government would NEVER do it! They even tried changing the terms of the contract to claim it was being done with returned Abacha loot!

Those Fulani cabal closed down the only International airport in the southeast region claiming they would elongate it's runway to 3.5KM, provide instrument landing etc, etc, etc to make it come to par with other international airports in Nigeria. For all, these, they said it would cost a whopping N10 billion naira to do and there was no money. After the entire cream of Igbo society went to beg Buhari to approve the money ,they agreed to work on the airport. Go and check that airport, they have not enlongated it's current 3KM runway to reach 3.5KM as they said! Yet, they received a whopping N10 billion for it!! The airport is still closed 8 months after!

Everyone knows how the Aso Rock cabal treats non-fulanis, talkmore of nyamuris. Even in the distribution of COVIK-19 palliatives to Nigerians in need. How many non-fulanis got anything from the Presidency or FG?
So STOP LYING TO YOURSELVES BECAUSE KYARI KICKED THE BUCKET!

I am not against KYARI nor his penchant to influence federal government to make it wholly a Fulani affair. But please STOP creating lies to make him a saint or Pan-Nigerian which he isn't.

For people that are giving advisory speeches and pretended not to see where the whole issue started from. An abakaleke miscreant has been on this thread insulting even a whole governor of the state, but when we returned fire, some of you found your voices to call for caution.
