These people and fake news! The didn't even bother to do there homework

1)The Goverment cannot confere an Igwe titile on anyone. Only the Ichie's or council of Chiefs can do that.

2)The Igwe title cannot be confered on a non Igbo. It is sacriledge

An 'Igwe' has to be Igwe of somewhere in Igbo land. Where is the Hausa man the Igwe of?

The mods should pull this thread down for being fake.

its easier to stay at your corner and call it fake.. why not ask questions? In fact verify for instance? Ndi ara ndi ara

kentuta:
Which town or local government in Enugu state?

Enugu North

Tenkobos:
Yorubas, Hausas, and every other ethnic group in nigeria always appoint a leader wherever they form a community.

It is these leaders that represent them whenever the host community wants to dialogue with them. It is also through them that they make their grieviances known to their host.

When Igbos elect their own leader, they call him igwe.

He's a leader over the igbos alone and not the host community so this does not in anyway relate to the op.

They're also not the only ones they have leaders in every states in Nigeria so the first paragraph of your comment is unnecesassy and useless.

APPOINTING A LEADER TO REPRESENT YOU IS DEFERENCE FROM APPOINTING A NON INDEGENE TO LEAD THE INDEGENES SIR!

gboss4sure:
Whats the big deal there?

Are their no igbo men that has chieftaincy titles conferred on them by other tribes?

Anybody can get a chieftaincy with the right amount.

kini big deal.

You Mean an Igbo Man can Become an Emir of Sokoto tomorrow? Pls Igwe title is a sacred one which is meant for only indegenes of a community. But giving it to an Hausa man is calling for trouble

Ngozi123:
This is good news to hear. If the man is helping to develop the community then it's only right that he gets the recognition that he deserves, regardless of his state of origin. I wonder how some people will try to spin this to make it seem that the Igbos are tribalists. I've already seen one come here to cause trouble, let's see if more will join him...

Please how many Igbos in the North have been confers with the Title of Emir? Or is the North not Developed By Igbos? Pls say the truth and leave out sentiment

Emeka Ugwuonye's Profile PhotoThe Due Process Advocate/ECULAW group has been in joyous mood since last night when the Barr. took to his facebook page to announce his release from the Nigerian Police Force who invaded his office on Friday that led to his arrest.



Below in his words are the reason behind his arrest.
"I'M FREE NOW, FREE INDEED
Dear fantastic people of DPA, I want to thank you for your gallant support. I'm free because you came together and stood behind me. You're extraordinary and herdy bunch. You never accept no for an answer. I love your stubborn attitude. That saved me. God bless you all.
Signed by Emeka Ugwuonye."

DPA, FIRM AND UNDEFEATED: JUSTICE FOR CHARITY AIYEDOGBON IS MORE SURE NOW THAN EVER.
Let's get this right once and for all. Speaking the truth does come with a huge price. Hence ordinary people lie to survive. Fighting for justice may often bring grave risks. Hence ordinary people tend to look away when others suffer injustice. Speaking out against abuse of power could get you arrested. Hence, many remain silent in face of abusive power. But when you are a DPA member, you have no choice. You must speak the truth. You must fight for justice. You must speak out against naked and blatant power.
I had meant not to speak tonight about the event of yesterday. But silence or undue delay in face of such a massive demand for explanation and answers will go against my personal constitution as well as our group traditions. Hence this post and its timing.
My arrest on Friday by the Nigerian police should never have been. Basically, the police needed the information at my disposal for their investigation. In America or Britain, the police would have seen me as a friend. They would have simply invited me and I would have been glad to respond. After all, you all knew I was preparing to present to police a report and my evidence on Chacha’s case. So why force a person to come to you who was already on his way to you?
In a nutshell, my meeting with the police was quite productive in the end. The police convinced me they are interested in unravelling the mystery surrounding Chacha's....http:///RCtlBB

This Update is Coming directly from ECULAW about the state of things with Barr. Emeka Ugwuonye Esq.
Read below;


DPA URGENT ALERT & UPDATE
THE DARK PLOT TO POISON EMEKA BY ELEMENTS OF THE POLICE AND DAVID AIYEDOGBON.
A society where Justice Is Denied, Where Poverty Is Enforced, Where Ignorance Prevails, And Where One Class Is Made To Feel That Society Is An Organized Conspiracy To Oppress, Rob And Degrade Them, Neither Persons Nor Property Will Be Safe.
It is an open-secret that the present structure and modus operandi of the Nigerian police is built on Injustice, Evil, Oppression, Enslavement Mentality of the poor People with the sole intentions to practicing Terror and Tyranny against the poor, the helpless and the voiceless as is currently the case with CHACHA's saga. Certainly, this secretive group David Aiyedogbon belongs is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade anybody that dare questions the "disappearance" of citizen Charity Aiyedogbon.Obviously, David and his his gang are not comfortable with our stance on the confused state of the investigation into the alleged disappearance of his wife Charity Aiyedogbon under police watch.We have intelligence that the arrest of Emeka is part of a larger script by David Aiyedogbon and some elements within the police to ensure that Emeka Ugwuonye and DPA's wings are finally clipped in their mission to sweep the CHACHA saga into the broken heap of unresolved disappearance.
The excesses of security agencies under this government, especially the police, Directorate of Security Services (DSS) and the EFCC, in abridging the human rights of activists have become worrisome and a threat to our democratic evolution. The we insist that for whatever reason Emeka Ugwuonye was arrested, his rights as a citizen under the law must not be trampled upon. We therefore demand for his immediate release and that due process of investigation and prosecution concerning him should be strictly adhered to if indeed he has committed any offense as ridiculously alleged., Since his arrest at about 3pm yesterday, has been kept incommunicado, with his lawyers denied access to him.

“We state this because we have been made aware of top directives to break Emeka Ugwuonye and if possible poison him during his detention by the police.
Yesterday, we spent the whole night monitoring the.....http:///y1ODBg

IRserveMyComent:
Since the present administration took over our dear democrasy has been suffering violence.

I tell you.... Just because he is handling a case of a husband who is highly connected in politics who Murdered his wife who threatened to expose him. Emeka took over the case and since then, his life has been under threat

Today, Eculaw & Co. witnessed a sobering and sad incident reminiscence of military era gestapo tactics of abuse of due process and flagrant violation of rule of law by men and officers of the Nigerian Police.
Ladies and gentlemen, the dark days are here with us again as Nigeria as a nation and indeed our nascent democracy slides and regresses into chaos, anarchy and enthronement of the culture of rule by brute force.
Today, our Emeka Ugwuonye, Esquire, principal partner of Eculaw & Co and lead convener of the Due Process Advocate (DPA) was kidnapped, led away and forcibly flown to the dark cell of the Criminal Investigation Department of the FCT Police Command. As some of you are already aware, our Emeka Ugwuonye, Esquire has been in the forefront of the enthronement of rule of law and due process advocacy. As a veteran of many battles against state oppression and injustice, Emeka Ugwuonye would not allow injustice, abuse and indeed violation of a citizen’s right to go unchallenged, whether in the north, south, east or west. It was therefore not surprising to some of us who have known this advocate of rule of law for some time, that he accepted and undertook the enormous challenge to unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of citizen Charity Aiyedogbon (Chacha deHammer) and possibly bring those who abused and orchestrated her disappearance to justice. As a firm, we are aware that the forces of evil will always resist every attempt to beam light on sinister activities of darkness. We knew that the task Mr. Emeka Ugwuonye had undertaken for himself and for lovers of due process and rule of law was daunting and fraught with danger and life threatening risk. But we never imagined that this assault on rule of law and due process would come from familiar sources such as a state institution as the Nigerian Police Force.

Today, at about 1:37pm, a crack team of police officers from the anti-kidnapping squad of the Criminal Investigation Department of the FCT Police Command barged into our office in plain clothes welding automatic assault war-issued riffles. They were six in number and roughly demanded to see Mr. Emeka Ugwuonye. The chambers’ admin officer informed them that Mr. Emeka was attending to docket responsibility in court and led them to the deputy head of the firm, Mr. Kingsley Ughe. Asked where they came from, they threatened to unleash mayhem on the office unless Emeka Ugwuonye was produced. The initial suspicion was that they were hired assassins. Amidst the chaos and confusion, some lawyers sneaked out of the office and alerted the security personnel guiding the office complex of Eculaw & Co.

FBI releases list of Nigeria's richest politicians and their net worth

PARIS, JUNE 12, 2016DGW) THE list below released by the American Federal Bureau of Intelligence, (FBI) shows names of Nigeria's richest politicians and their net worth.
One wonders where these men came by such money stashed away in foreign bank vaults across the world.

Be that as it may, the name of one of Nigeria's richest politicians which everyone knows is conspicuously missing in the list.
According to the FBI, Nigeria remains first among the top ten most corrupt countries in the world, thanks to the handiwork of these men who have sat over her common patrimony while the majority of Nigerians thrive on dirt and dirty surroundings.

Enugu women cry out over herdsmen attacks, harassment


The women of Ibute Nze, a town in the Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, have cried out over persistent attacks and harassment by suspected Fulani herdsmen in the community.
The women gathered at the village square to protest against the development.

The protest coincided with the presentation of relief materials donated to the community by the Association of Enugu State Indigenes in Japan.

The women, who turned out in large numbers, said they had had enough of rape and destruction of their farms by the herdsmen.
According to the women, said most of them had fallen victim to the antics of the herdsmen, who invaded their farms three times within the week.
They disclosed that..http://www.controversialada.com/2016/06/fulani-herdsmen-are-raping-udi-women.html

Nigeria: Killing of unarmed pro-Biafra supporters by military must be urgently investigated
An on-the-ground investigation by Amnesty International has confirmed that the Nigerian army gunned down unarmed people ahead of last month’s planned pro-Biafran commemoration events in Onitsha, Anambra state.

Evidence gathered from eyewitnesses, morgues and hospitals confirms that between 29-30 May 2016, the Nigerian military opened fire on members of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), supporters and bystanders at three locations in the town.

“Opening fire on peaceful IPOB supporters and bystanders who clearly posed no threat to anyone is an outrageous use of unnecessary and excessive force and resulted in multiple deaths and injuries. In one incident one person was shot dead after the authorities burst in on them while they slept,” said M.K. Ibrahim, Country Director of Amnesty International Nigeria.

M.K. Ibrahim, Country Director of Amnesty International Nigeria


“These shootings, some of which may amount to extrajudicial executions, must be urgently and independently investigated and anyone suspected of criminal responsibility must be brought to justice.”
The exact number of deaths is unknown, partly due to the fact that the Nigerian army took away corpses and the injured.

In one incident one person was shot dead after the authorities burst in on them while they slept
MK Ibrahim


Amnesty International has received reports from various sources on the ground alleging that at least 40 people were killed and more than 50 injured.
After visits to hospitals and morgues, the organization has confirmed - based on this initial investigation - that at least 17 people were killed and nearly 50 injured. The real number is likely to be higher.

Some of the dead and injured IPOB supporters seen by an Amnesty International researcher were shot in the back, an indication that they were fleeing the scene when they were shot.
The leadership of IPOB claim more than 50 of their members were killed. The Nigerian army has said in a statement that they acted in self-defence, and five IPOB members were killed. However, Amnesty International has seen no evidence that the killings were necessary to protect life. Although the police also claim that IPOB supporters killed two policemen the next day in neighbouring Asaba, Delta state, Amnesty International cannot confirm this claim. However, such killings would not substantiate the army’s argument they acted in self-defence.

A joint security operation was carried out by the Nigerian army, police and navy between the night of 29 May and throughout 30May, apparently intended to prevent a march by IPOB members from the Nkpor motor park to a nearby field for a rally. Before the march began the military raided homes and a church where IPOB members were sleeping.

IPOB supporters told Amnesty International that hundreds of people who had come from neighbouring states, were asleep in the St Edmunds Catholic church when soldiers stormed the compound on 29 May.

I saw one boy trying to answer a question. He immediately raised his hands, but the soldiers opened fire…He lay down, lifeless. I saw this myself
Witness to the shootings


A 32-year-old hair dresser who was in the church told Amnesty International: “At about midnight we heard someone banging the door. We refused to open the door but they forced the door open and started throwing teargas. They also started shooting inside the compound. People were running to escape. I saw one guy shot in the stomach. He fell down but the teargas could not allow people to help him. I did not know what happened to the guy as I escaped and ran away.”

Another witness told Amnesty International that on the morning of 30 Mayhe saw soldiers open fire on a group of around 20 men and boys aged between 15 and 45 at the Nkpor Motor Park on the morning of 30 May. He says that five of them were killed.“I stood about two poles [approximately 100 metres] away from where the men were being shot and killed. I couldn’t quite hear what they were asking the boys, but I saw one boy trying to answer a question. He immediately raised his hands, but the soldiers opened fire…He lay down, lifeless. I saw this myself.”

The witness described how military officers loaded men with gunshot wounds into one van, and what appeared to be corpses into another.
Later that morning, another witness described how police shot a child bystander as a group of young men protested the shootings, blocking a road and burning tyres along the Eke-Nkpor junction.
He told Amnesty International: “I heard a police siren and everybody started running helter-skelter. I ran away with other people, but before we left, the police fired tear gas at us and shot a boy in my presence. He was just hawking in the street. He wasn’t even there to protest,” he said.

An Amnesty International researcher visited three hospitals in Onitsha and surrounding towns and saw 41 men being treated for gunshot wounds in the stomach, shoulder, leg, back and ankle. The researcher also visited mortuaries in Onitsha and saw five corpses with bullet wounds, all brought in by IPOB members on 30 M......http://www.controversialada.com/2016/06/amnesty-international-reports-on.html

Latest on Buhari's trip to London! Have you wonderd why NDA stopped further destruction of Pipelines?
For the record, Buhari is not coming to London for ear infection treatment but for a secret negotiation meeting with the Niger Delta Avengers

An insider who is privy to the behind the scene arrangement on how to stop the further threat of the Avengers to oil installations in the region says Buhari will be in London to meet with Jonathan and the representatives of the British government funding truce to the impasse.

It would be recalled that Jonathan was briefly in Nigeria 4 days ago and met with the President in his office before jetting out again, back to London. A day after that, Buhari met Obasanjo to seek his advice on the crisis in Niger Delta. The Duo, Obasanjo and Jonathan advised Buhari to meet with the agitators in a neutral place away from the media - prompting the London trip.

According to my source, the Intel at the government's disposal on the Niger Delta Avengers revealed their connection to two Arabian oil producing countries who are ......http://www.controversialada.com/2016/06/buhari-not-see-went-to-negotiate-with.html

Today news reported that Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday said Nigeria may revisit the law that banned same-sex marriages.
He said as the quest for Nigerians and other citizens worldwide to have equal rights deepens, there is need for Nigeria to appropriately revisit the law.
Nigeria may review law on same-sex marriage – Jonathan


Jonathan said this at a forum in Bloomberg’s European headquarters in London.
According to him, “When it comes to equality, we must all have the same rights as Nigerian citizens.
“The nation may at the appropriate time revisit the law in the light of deepening debates for all Nigerians and other citizens of the world to be treated equally and without discrimination and with the clear knowledge that the issue of sexual orientation is still evolving.”

It would be recalled that in January 2014, Jonathan signed into law the Bill which outlaws same sex marriage, gay groups and public displays of affection by homosexuals.
The signed bill says the gays; lesbians in Nigeria will risk a 14-year jail term if they do not retrace their steps and renounce such marriage.

Also, any person who operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organisations directly or indirectly will earn a 10-year imprisonment. Those who administer witness, abet or aid the solemnization of a same sex marriage are going to...http://ow.ly/meYC300YeP3

My major issue with this Report is that it puts Nigerian Government in a bad light. It debits how the Govt regards her own people. How can a government made bold to state that Herdsmen attack on innocent lives and properties do not require Military action but Niger Delta Avengers bombing Piplelines should be visited with Military might. Does it mean the lives of Nigerians are less valuable to Nigerian oil & Gas?
Read the Report from vanguard below...
Vanguard reports that Despite the ferocious wave of attacks on indigenous communities by rampaging herdsmen in some parts of the country, the Federal Government has ruled out the possibility of deploying military option to quell such violent activities.
It said since the police have not been overwhelmed by the attackers, military option is not on the table.

Minister of Interior, Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (retd) stated this on a Sunday midnight television programme “Question Time” on Channels TV.
“We must protect the country which is the main function of the police. The Civil Defence are there to complement them too.

“This is a non-military issue that borders on law and order. It is not every security issue that you call in the military. It is the responsibility of the police to maintain peace. I believe that if we put the police in proper position in terms of discharging its functions, then there would be no need for military option. The police are equal to the task. If you have to deploy the army, then you are going above board (sic). In any case, I do not even have the power to deploy the military for anything. It is only when the situation gets out of hand that you invite the military”, he said.

UK GUARDIAN Takes a Bold step Against Buhari Administration
A major British newspaper has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to recognize he has failed to live up to his pledge to destroy Boko Haram. Writing for the Guardian (UK), journalist Simon Tisdall says President Buhari has completely failed in his campaign to destroy the Islamist terror group.
Tisdall argues that far from making Nigeria safer, the president’s policies have created more instability throughout the country. “Buhari’s harsh approach to unrest of any kind may be causing more problems than it solves across Nigeria as a whole,” he said.


The journalist points out that since Buhari became president last year agitation for the actualization of Biafra has increased in the southeast, as has violence between farmers and Fulani cattle herders in the middle belt.
He quotes the International Crisis Group’s analyst for Nigeria Nnamdi Obasi as saying that President Buhari’s hard line policy will also lead to further strife in the Niger Delta region after recent attacks by the Niger Delta Avengers and Egbesu Mightier Fraternity.

Government Source

President Muhammadu Buhari has canceled at the last minute a visit planned for Thursday to the oil-producing Niger Delta, which has been hit by a wave of militant attacks, a government source said. President Buhari Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will instead visit the restive southern region to launch a cleanup program of the Ogoniland, an area badly hit by oil spills, the source said, without giving a reason for Buhari’s cancellation, reports Reuters. Buhari had already skipped a visit to the commercial capital Lagos in the south last month at the last minute. Posters with his picture had been already hung up to welcome the president before his spokesman cited “scheduling” difficulties. It would have been the first visit of the former military ruler to the Delta since taking office in May last year.
Critics have accused Buhari, a Muslim from the north, of ignoring the predominately Christian south. The southern Delta swamps have been hit by a series of militant attacks on oil and gas pipelines which have brought Nigeria’s oil output to a 20-year low. Hours after the announcement of Buhari’s visit to the swamps on Tuesday the Niger Delta Avengers militant group, which has claimed several attacks on Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell facilities, issued a warning to oil firms that their “facilities and personnel will bear the brunt of our fury”.
The Avengers have accused Buhari of ignoring local problems. Buhari said on Sunday the government would hold talks with leaders in Nigeria’s main oil-producing region to address their grievances, in a bid to stop a surge in pipeline attacks. Residents in the swamp areas have for years complained about oil industry pollution and about economic marginalization by the government. Local officials and Western allies such as Britain have told Buhari that moving army reinforcements to the Delta region would not be enough to stop the attacks and that the population’s grievances should be dealt with.

Niger Delta Avengers Promises Revenge (READ)

according to The Trent, the Niger Delta Avengers, a new militant group operating in the oil-rich region of Southern Nigeria, has issued a new statement, Tuesday, May 31, 2016 on the brutal military invasion of Gbaramatu Kingdom in which the group raised a number of issues with a number of players in the Niger Delta restiveness.

The statement on the group’s website titled, Tompolo Before Your Eyes Your People Are Suffering, says that Nigerian soldiers who invaded Gbaramatu Kingdom in Delta State are committing crimes against humanity including systematic rape of girls in the community.
Gbaramatu is the home of former Niger Delta warlord, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo who has called on the Delta Avengers to cease hostilities and negotiate with the federal government. He has denied any involvement with the group.
The statement, signed by Brigadier General Mudoch Agbinibo, who appears to have been promoted from the rank of colonel, calls out the army commanders overseeing the Gbaramatu invasion in which community leaders say that soldiers are looting and burning homes and residents have fled into the forest.

The group also says that a pipeline contractor, Captain Okunbor Idahosa, chairman and chief executive of Oil Marine Services has induced Nigerian Army brigade commander of Benin, Brigadier General Faruk Yahaya and the officer commanding army gunboat of the Joint Military Task Force (JTF), Major M. B. Yahaya with the sum of N250 million to destroy Gbaramatu Kingdom under the cover of hunting for the Niger Delta Avengers.

Oil Marine Services (OMS) whose Chairman and CEO is Capt. Okunbor Idahosa also known, as Capt. Hosa is the company Nigerian Government awarded the Pipeline surveillance contract to spanning from Escravos to Lokoja. The said Capt. Hosa bribed the Brigade Commander Benin (Brig. Gen. Faruk Yahaya) alongside the Officer Commanding Army Gunboat, JTF (Major. M. B. Yahaya) with the sum of two hundred and fifty million naira (250,000,000) in collaboration with one Ayiri Emami to destroy Gbaramatu Kingdom in the guise of looking for the Niger Delta Avengers.
The Avengers promise to take vengeance over these acts of brutality against the innocent people of Delta State and mocked the army for going after soft targets while they have no ability to capture the militants.

“To you Capt. Hosa the new pipeline protector; the intelligence unit of the Avengers has your full data, we know where all your assets are located and that most of your businesses are in the Niger Delta. For this single act of injustice against the innocent people of Gbaramatu you, your wife and entire family will suffer,” the statement said.

They also mocked Tompolo and expressed disappointment at his collaborative stance with the federal government. The former warlord has also called on the Nigerian military to end the brutal occupation of his community alleging that soldiers are looting and burning homes of...http:///9ntkWX

Nigeria built on fraudulent federalism – Amosun

according to Vanguard, The Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Thursday, described the federalism being practised in Nigeria as fraudulent.
Amosun argued that the resources allocated to the centre when compared to the one allocated to the states was quite disproportionate, given the fact that states have more responsibilities than the centre.


The governor said this in Abeokuta on Thursday while delivering the commemorative lecture 2016 Democracy Day, with the theme: ‘Democracy in Nigeria, the pains, the gains: Ogun example.’ The event was organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State chapter, as part of activities to mark Democracy Day on Sunday.

Militants suspected to be members of the Niger Delta Avengers have blown up an underground Chevron crude oil trunk line.

The trunk line is located along the Seria Creek near Abiteye, a few kilometres away from the company’s multi-billion dollars Tank Farm in Escravos, Warri South West local government area of Delta State.
The PUNCH gathered that the incident, which occurred midnight, was noticed by workers in the production department when they observed drop in production pressure.
A top Chevron management officer and a security source both separately confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
The source said a technical team of experienced engineers had been dispatched to the scene of the spill to ascertain the true cause.
Information available to us reveal that the Seria Creek and all adjoining creeks of Abiteye have now been covered with massive oil spill emanating from the trunk line.
A local source in the area said, “At the moment, the entire creek has been littered with crude oil.”
The violent militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, also announced the attack on their twitter handle.

Britain has committed to spending £860 million in foreign aid to Nigeria, which now boasts Africa’s largest economy, to help support the country’s efforts to crush Boko Haram terror group, which has been responsible for a spate of outrages, including the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls.


But Western officials are now raising concerns that the government of the country’s recently elected leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, is misusing the funds to persecute political opponents.
Since Mr Buhari came to power last May, a number of prominent members of the former ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have been arrested and imprisoned without charge. Among those detained was the...http:///XcjVFv

Like Joe Igbokwe, I Too See War, But Not Just In the Niger-Delta

By Demola Olarewaju

In choosing General Muhammadu Buhari as its presidential flagbearer, the APC sought to capitalise on the natural ethnic and religious divisions of Nigeria as a country. By making Professor Yemi Osinbajo, a Pentecostal Pastor his running mate, the gambit was complete. If some had thought that Boko Haram would go away with the election of a President of Fulani ethnicity, I am sure they never envisaged the greater danger of roving marauders whom we are often reminded not to call Fulani Herdsmen. Mr. Joe Igbokwe is a spokesman of the APC in Lagos State but one expect a man of his standing to either tell truths or maintain a ghostly silence rather than engage in half-truths; the realm of which his last article dwells in.

Igbokwe by refraining from telling the whole truth sends an obscure message to the powers that be and history must remember him as one of those who provided intellectual justification for any carnage that thereafter follows. Of course Igbokwe is not an unwilling megaphone of his political interests – he worked assiduously for the emergence of the Buhari government and should find political reward. To do so at the price of Whole Truths when telling it all can foster solutions to national problems and abstaining from them as he did can bring death and carnage in the short-term as well as destroy national unity in the long-term is not only sad but wicked. To do so in direct negation of a position previously held (until the coming of #Change) demands that students of history respond with clear minds and consign the silly position of men like Joe Igbokwe to the dustbin of history where it rightly belongs.

Igbokwe says: “I have preached justice, equity and fair play for the people of the Niger Delta but 17 years after, I am beginning to have a rethink about the inhabitants of the Niger Delta and their antics”. The Change that makes a man revoke his position of 17 years must be a Change that he hopes to benefit from and APC is full of them – last year it was Rotimi Amaechi who at his Senate screening when asked about his position on Resource Control said that he had been an advocate of it in times past but a recent visit to a far Eastern country had made him revise his position as he now no longer believes in it. Amaechi was rewarded with a Ministerial portfolio, far more than Igbokwe can hope for. Where Igbokwe’s faulty thought process falters is that he failed (or deliberately ignores) to understand that concept of justice, equity and fair play goes beyond throwing money at a problem and hoping it would go away.

He describes the agitations of the Niger-Delta as ‘blackmail’ against former Presidents Obasanjo, Yar’Adua and Jonathan then carefully attributes Jonathan with giving oil wells and so on to Niger-Delta indigenes to placate them. If this is Igbokwe’s definition of justice that has made him revoke his former stand then perhaps he needs to be schooled – and I say this respectfully. The issue of the Niger-Delta goes far beyond social rehabilitation which was only the placing of band-aid on a deep gash, a treatment of ringworm while leprosy festers on the skin. Justice and equity for the Niger-Delta goes beyond the Amnesty Programme and even beyond the election or rejection of a President from the Niger-Delta. It is a problem to which we in the Southwest have always had a solution, which if Joe Igbokwe had been thoroughly educated in this school of political thought, he would have readily hit on as the solution to any problem that emanates from the Niger-Delta. We can of course blame Igbokwe’s schoolmaster – Bola Tinubu – for this gradeschool thinking at the tertiary level.

Tinubu in merging the ACN with the CPC to win federal power also had to chuck out the progressive syllabus handbook and embrace feudalist thoughts. Fortunately, some of us although younger studied at the feet of their masters – my learning in late Bola Ige’s thoughts helps my mind to see through the haziness of the Igbokwe’s of this world. Ige once said “There is nobody outside the Niger-Delta who is a bigger friend of the Niger-Delta than myself”.

Indeed, he also said that “God who put oil beneath the ground of the South-South knew it would cause some damage to their land” in advocating for greater responsibility from the Nigerian state to the Niger-Delta. Even when Ige served under a PDP government which had a cacophony of voices for and against Resource Control, Ige tried to force a national dialogue on the matter by going to the Supreme Court to determine the issue under the guise of littoral states. Igbokwe verbally urges Buhari to go to war in the Niger-Delta. If Igbokwe assumes that a war in the Niger-Delta would help Nigeria then he is perhaps actually just a terrible student of Tinubu’s school of politics and I apologise to his schoolmaster – some students just do not pay attention as even Bola Tinubu can never think this way.

Igbokwe continues the trajectory of this government which is divisive (97% versus 5%, Wailers versus Hailers etc) – an ironic fulfilment of the prediction that Jonathan would divide Nigeria, now being fulfilled under Buhari. Igbokwe’s article is the most dangerous type of prophecy (in the Hebrew sense of the word as “truth-telling) – he mixes and exaggerates his truth which has been carefully subtracted from the truth. One can agree when he says that elders from the Niger-Delta should call the Avengers to order, but to ignore the larger question is to postpone the evil day and to encourage madness which my generation will ultimately reap, long after the sowers of violence and the intellectual justifiers of their actions are dead and buried. As one of many diverse thinkers in my generation, Igbokwe’s

The concept of Justice, Equity and Fair Play to the Niger-Delta may involve things like the Amnesty Programme or electing and rejecting a Niger-Deltan as President but the ultimate solution to such and other crises in Nigeria is True Federalism. Unless a system of equitable distribution of resources is evolved to force every part of Nigeria and every state to look inwards and utilise their best resources, issues will continue to provide moral justification for groups like the Avengers – even if their actions are wrong and condemnable. True Federalism is the ultimate justice to the Niger-Delta and this shouldn’t be hard to achieve as Igbokwe profusely tries to explain that every part of Nigeria contributes one thing or the other and so the Niger-Delta had no reason to feel responsible for bearing the fiscal burden of the federation. Funnily, there is also another truth beside this one.

The truth is that divisive Presidents bring out the worst divisions in any multi-ethnic country. By failing to unite the country after a divisive election where the vanquished incumbent left without fanfare and continues to urge support for his successor in the war against Boko Haram, the Buhari Government continues to fan the flames of division rather than seeking unity and now, that opportunity may have been missed. Many political watchers expected that Niger-Delta response to a Goodluck Jonathan defeat would be violence but this government had a period of close to a year to embrace unity in the South-South at least, yet it chose to ‘unlook’ and keep playing the arrogant and all-conquering victor. And in case some ... http:///paXt39

The Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Pastor Usani, in an interview with Sunday Vanguard, said he was ashamed of the many communal conflicts in the state which, he said, are acts of criminality which are being given the coloration of political strife. He called for decisive action against communities engaged in war.

Owing to the plethora of these conflicts, the police and other security agencies seem overstretched an unable to do much to end skirmishes. When the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Henry Fadairo visited the Inyima and Onyadama communities at the peak of their conflict to seek to cessation of hostilities, angry combatants almost mobbed him. It took the gallant effort of his personal security before he was taken out of the place. Reacting to the incident, the Police Commissioner told Vanguard that the police alone cannot instill and maintain the peace in the several flash points in the state and that community leaders should play a more active role in curtailing the excesses of their people.

ABOMINATION:Police Demand N12,000 Before Saving Ekiti Community From Attack from Herdsmen
A late night attack on Oke-Ako community in Ikole local government of Ekiti State by suspected Fulani herdsmen last Friday has left at least two persons dead.
The attack also left several other villagers injured with many of them fleeing to neighbouring Irele, Ipao, Ikole in Ekiti State and Ponyan in Kogi State.


It was gathered that the mass exodus has turned the agrarian community to a ghost town.
Many residents of Oke-Ako fled following fears that herdsmen might return.

A resident told our correspondent on phone last night: “This is a bad development. People are leaving the town in droves.
According to Vanguard, Another eye witness, Adebayo Ajayi, described the incident as a reprisal attack as he said the herdsmen had previously fallen out with the villagers over their grazing activities in the community. He explained that the villagers had been resisting the use of their farmlands as grazing fields by the herdsmen. The Divisional Police Officer in the area confirmed the incident, noting that he could not ascertain whether the attack was armed robbery or herdsmen invasion. Meanwhile, the villagers blamed the police in the area for.... http:///0W6znm

WONDERS SHALL NEVER END
Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose also said that there will be no grazing area for Fulani herdsmen in the state.
Fayose also said that there will be no grazing area for Fulani herdsmen in the state.
The governor made the comment on Monday, May 9, 2016, during his monthly media chat, The Nation reports.
“What I said was that we will now be more proactive, if you bring your cow to come and eat up my farmland, I will put Gammalin 20 inside the water they will drink from. That is what I will do to those destroying our communities and raping our wives,” he said.
“I heard that 83 cows have been killed since I made the statement. If you come to Afao and eat up my palm tree, we have set traps for grass cutters and rodents and the trap will.... http://www.controversialada.com/2016/05/fayose-begs-to-be-vice-presidentsee.html

Battle Line Drawn as Farmers Acquire Sophisticated Weapons to Combat Fulani Herdsmen
The battle line has been drawn as farmers have began purchasing of sophisticated weapons to combat and stop the incessant massacre of their people by Fulani herdsmen.

Angry farmers, youths, and some local hunters in many communities in the country said they have decided to acquire weapons against unprovoked attacks by Fulani herdsmen, Punch reports.


This is coming after the mindless massacre that has taken place in different parts of the country with the government showing a non-challant attitude to stop the rampaging Fulani herdsmen. As a result, the communities involved have now decided to arm themselves with sophisticated weapons to avoid the wiping away of their people

hey have vowed to give it back to the Fulani herdsmen the only way they will understand – violence. The angry villagers believe they are acting in self-defence.
According to them, they will no longer sit down and watch the herdsmen attack them and destroy the sources of their livelihood.

They said they decided to resort to self-help because they had lost confidence in the security
agencies’ ability to protect them against attacks.
The recent massacre of Enugu farmers by the Fulani herdsmen have made many communities in the country to wake up.

Fulani herders have recently killed hundreds in Benue, Plateau, Adamawa and Enugu states, among others, with many of the suspected killers not arrested for prosecution, despite the repeated promises by the government, especially the police, to stop the nefarious activities of the killer herders and bring them to justice.

Punch gathered that farmers in Osun State are no longer playing as many have acquired sophisticated weapons waiting for the Fulani herdsmen.
A farmer in Osun State, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed that they were prepared to “do battle with the herdsmen in case they extend their rampage to our state.”
A member of a vigilance group in the state, who simply gave his appellation as “D Keller,” also said that “nobody has the monopoly of violence.”

The Coordinator, Oodua People’s Congress in Osun State, Mr. Oyeyinka Awoyemi, said the problem posed by herdsmen had got to a level where it should be urgently addressed by the government.
Awoyemi said members of the OPC would no longer watch Fulani herdsmen destroy property and kill Yoruba people in their domains.
He said, “We cannot continue to keep quiet in the face of these mindless attacks. We will never allow them to drive us out of our land. We have given them general warnings and anywhere Fulani herdsmen kill a Yoruba man, deity will fight there. I will not say more than that.

Can any Yoruba kill Fulani in their domain? We will not allow that to happen again. The Yoruba will fight for themselves.”
It is the same story in Oyo State. Farmers in Otu, Igbojaye, Komu, Alapamefa, Okaka, Saki, Iseyin and others in Oke-Ogun area of the state face constant threat by the Fulani herdsmen. Some of the farmers said the herdsmen grazed on their farms, raped women and girls, as well as stole their harvest.

The story is the same in Lagun, Iyana-Offa, Atagba, Lapata and surrounding villages in Lagelu Local Government Area where about 40 herdsmen were said to have invaded three weeks ago, injured a guard and stole foodstuffs and N500, 000 cash.

The angry farmers have decided to arm themselves since security operatives seem to be in support of the herdsmen as they allow them to attack communities without freely.
One of the hunters in Komu, who did not give his name, said blacksmiths had been be contacted to assist in producing more guns to confront the herdsmen if they invaded their farmlands again.
He said, “We are ready to fight if we are pushed to doing so because we are not cowards. The Oluode (head of the hunters) will not hesitate to give members the go-ahead to attack any herdsman that grazes on farms and threaten to attack farmers.

“We will no longer tolerate their violent activities if the police or the government is not doing enough to stop it.”
Asked who would fund the production of the guns, the hunter said, “I will not reveal where the funding will come from, but we are all involved in this and no contribution is too small.”

Farmers in Ondo State said they were ready to defend themselves should the Federal Government fail to contain the incessant criminal activities of the Fulani herdsmen against them.
A member of the vigilance group in Akure North Local Government Area, who identified himself as Saheed, said members of the group were ready to pay the herdsmen in their own coin, should they invade the state like they did before.
He said, “I will not reveal how we are going to deal with them, but we are vigilant and we won’t expose our tactics.”

youths in Ekiti State have also formed an alliance against likely attack by herders. The Ekiti State Chairman, National Youth Council of Nigeria, Mr. Adedamola Gbenga, said the council met with other youth associations during the week and resolved to form a force to repel any attack by the herdsmen in the state.
Gbenga said, “We are also meeting with our chapters across the 16 local government areas on the need to stop this evil against humanity and for them to be their brothers’ keeper.”A source in the state, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the fear of being arrested, said, “The Fulani herders should know that no... http://www.controversialada.com/2016/05/breakingfarmers-purchases-guns-to.html
