ok we predict 50 busloads of Ekene Dili Chukwu busses running for safety to Lagos. That is the Igbe metro rail. People that could not stay home to stop kidnapping will stay to fight Fulani? I dey laugh at original warrior.

TewMuch:
Fulani are very ruthless oh, Yoruba have been fighting them for centuries, what will Igbo do? ewo, na wa ooh. Odikwa getting serious. we dey laugh.

Ileke-IdI:
No, we prefer not to act like this is a proclamation of war, then start beating our chest for an unprepared war.

This needs diplomatic solution. If every Ondo person decides to carry their weapons against these militants, be rest assured that it will not stop with only Ondo and Ijaw people.

When you blood suckers decides to start using your brain, you'll stop losing your people to unnecessary "war".

Why so much anger against the Igbos in this thread? If I was a new poster to Nairaland, I would have thought the Igbos have committed this travesty against the Yorubas instead of the Ijaws, by the way you are acting.  

You all can use your diplomatic solution, but let us see how well that works. They will probably sending emissaries to demand money from OPC now.  

Now you are likening us Igbos to blood suckers? Now that is cute, because we are not parasitic. We do not rely on oil.

TewMuch:
Fulani with bullet proof vest's, massive horse's and AK47's are 2 hours away and coming to a town near Enugu, what do u want to fight them with? Akpu or yam stalks

Ileke-IdI:
And killing their son lead them to continue to Benue? LOL Your friends are coming for you  

If they took the king for ransom, then we can say they must have an Igbo man amongst them

The same ndu_chucks that constantly insult the Igbos too. . . . my my, you're very ediotic. What do you expect, a Noutherner sympathizing with a Southerner? A northener that may as well dislike any southern? abeg, nothing was lost.

TewMuch:
You would think they would be more concerned about the fulani's in Benue. Afterall Benue is less than 2hrs by road from Enugu. They are here shouting about Ijaw when armed fulani men are advancing towards enugu ready to violation, and kill. See mumu's. They won't mind their business and watch their backyard. They are busy shaking to Fulani massacre's. It should be interesting to watcj them fight the Fulani. It is inevitable.lool.

Ileke-IdI:
Why dont you wait and let them encroach on our property again? Why are the Militants with arm equipment attacking a small area where people are unarmed? Why didnt they attack Lagos and Ondo capital?

Its very foolish of you Igbo ediots to expect unarmed ppl to go flying str8 into armed militants. You ppl do not think logically, yet you walk around with war-like mindset. I guess the 1960s was not a lesson enough.

Once again, no Yoruba here is worried about the king as much as you ppl. If ppl do not like their ruler, they will not fight for him/her.  

The article already told you why the Ijaw youth attacked that small area. It is, because one of their own was killed in that town. That is why the son of the deceased and his friends attacked the town. It is as simple as that. I do not know why they kidnapped the Oba though, but they probably believe they can make money from ransom.

Are you telling me that no one in that town was armed?   That is not very smart, especially in Nigeria. At least one person should have arms to protect the lives of their kinsmen as well as property.

It is not only we Igbos have said that. A Hausa by the name of Ndu_Chuks was laughing at you all. And you all said nothing. Even Eku you fellow Yoruba wondered why the people of the town ran. And not only in that town, but neighboring villages.

It is not about the Oba, it is about the principle. No group should kidnap another group's leader. Don't you see the mockery of it? Or are you trying to save face?

Ileke-IdI:
The same Igbos the Ijaws have dealt with?

TewMuch:
i wonder why you are answering these cowards. They are trying to blow it up so they can knock Yoruba and Ijaw heads together. You know they are still in pain about Biafra and dont have the balls to fight Ijaw even in rivers state, where their cowardly fellow kins men deny them to suck Ijaw balls. They are pushing hard to hope someone can do the dirty work for them. Ijaw have shown them fire before. Just ignore that chyz rat.His threads these days are bordering on psychotic.

cap28:
Am actually amazed that many posters are not dismissing these proposals as just another conspiracy theory as they have done in the past whenever i have raised the dangers posed by the IMF to nigeria's economy.

manny4life:
Ok Ms. Kobo, you win.

Doesn't seem like you geeting my explanation maybe because I'm not explaining enough or explained very well, well

olabukola:
When did this happen?

10cirenoh:
IMF = Rich Western Elite.

Onlytruth:
We'll soon start blaming IMF for NEPA. I'm laughing.

Chyz*:
binjahbo, please if you want to change history please change your own. I am Ukwuani and there is nothing in our history that suggest we develope ANY dialect with the Igbo because of trade or christianity. We have always spoken like this just like other Igbo clans. In fact, SOME of your own ndokwa people are starting to resent being called Ukwuani, instead they want to be referred to as Ndokwa. You can keep the Ndokwa name, you will be a fool not to,but no that we are no different  from the larger Igbo group. You don't have to claim or deny being Igbo.

yeswecan:
I never knew there are intelligent folks on here. IMF and World bank have 60% of the poverty problem in Africa today. To support your point on free trade - after independent, Africa agriculture grow-ed with 8% average every year. For instance Hydén (2005) notes that “between 1966 and 1970 net agricultural export from the region averaged 1.3 million tons per year” (148). Agriculture if you remember was the backbone of Africa's growth before the discovery of numerous resources.

IMF and World bank told us that free trade is the answer and we should stop given out incentive. The negative impact of SAP program was coated with unfair trade practices on the part of the EU and the United States. The Structural adjustment led to sequence of policy modification across Africa that favored subsidized U.S. and European Union agricultural dumping and Asian exporters over African farmers. Please understand that even this period America and Europe farmers remain the most subsidized farmers until date. Europe spend billions on subsidies, a British cattle for example is subsidized with 2 pounds everyday.

A chief economist of World Bank accepted that the program was a failure, in his words, “We did not think that the human costs of these programs could be so great, and the economic gains would be so slow in coming”

binjahbo:
Where was the igbo man when the Benin kindgom rule 3/4 of West Africa? And you talk about your fore-fathers. Don't make me type things that will offend people that i genuinely respect

Where did you get that number from? 3/4 of West Africa. I dey laugh. Do you know how big West Africa is?

Even the Songhai Empire, which was the largest West African empire could not make such a claim. Learn the history of West Africa, before you make such utterances on this forum.

This is a FAILURE of Nigeria's education system.

binjahbo:
No, You be quiet, from what you've said you simple do not know what happens outside Africa if you are going to use that as a comparism. Now take note, The Welsh man wouldn't say his English, neither would the Cantonese man claims his manadarin neighbour is Cantonese, but they all are Chinese/British to you, cos you are ignorant.
