you are confused

the ranches are not exclusive to fulani..this is the reason why the FG isnt building it..but is only providing the funds to state to build it

states have exclusive right to only allow Igbo people to rear their cattles there and keep the fulani out...the FG is only doing it best to fund it so that open grazing can be properly eradicated
.
Igbo people do not produce milk..

milk is not produced by fulani... milk is gotten from cows.. dont be confused..
you will get the same milk from cows reared in anambra with cows reared in oshogbo or sokoto ..as far as all the cows are healthy..
your matured doesnt mean you are wise or have sense... stop with this gross black mentality..that is why we are the most backward beings on the planets because ..we allow tribe and religion block our brains...

the FG is not building ranch in any state...the FG is providing funds to states to build their own ranches..ebonyi state is a beneficiary

very soon all the meat and other associate products from from cows and other livestock will come from ebonyi state

ranches are not houses you build with 10 million

they cost millions of dollars to build

go to india and see how much they spent to build ranches when they suffered the same issue Nigeria is suffering..

even the 6 billion FG is giving to each state is insufficient to build a standard ranch of global ratings..

I repeat, away with your deceptive PR for blood suckers. We don't need it in Biafran land. If you're talking rail lines, then we can talk. Any talk of cattle in our land, we are not interested. We know your ulterior motive and can't be hoodwinked.
We shall set up our own ranches and augment the shortfall by buying from wherever of our choice.
You don't know how dumb you are trying to sell this disguised ruga. Let me point it out to you. The news says that schools and clinics will be built under the money meant for a ranching programme. Tell me, who are those schools and clinics meant for? We all know that it is meant for new colonies planned for a people about to be resettled.
Let every reader pay attention to what I'm about to write here. There's no single offer with regards to cattle that the current fulani government will make that the real aim isn't for the sole benefit of the fulanis. The aim remains to resettle his people all over the different regions in Nigeria and give them a legitimate hold on the land such that in future, they will claim to be indigenes of those lands. Starting with Katsina is just to deflect the main target. Soon they will push for it down the middle belt and in the South. You should remember that I said so. The huge amount allocated is just to ensnare greedy people into desiring such for their locality by which their ancestral lands will be taken away without their knowledge. There's nothing the current government will do to benefit the various indigenous ethnic groups within Nigeria. This is why all the killings of farmers never meant anything to him.
KEEP WATCH OVER ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH CATTLES. IT IS NEVER MEANT TO BENEFIT YOU BUT ONLY HIS PEOPLE

there is no such thing as biafran land..it is South east

secondly..if you dont need it in your land ..there are lands that needs it ..to ensure we dont run out of meats..
you dont need cows but definitely you eat meat.. if you dont..other easterners do..

dont complain when the ranches are outside the east..and business people have to buy the meat from other regions in order to satisfy the meat and diary demands of the east..which means they will be more expensive .. you can forbid cows but every easterner will not forbid meat and milk..think and dont be sentimental

besides the ranches isnt just tackling open grazing but it is improving security as it guarantees less lives being lost due to farmer herder clashes

lastly ..let be realistic...IPOB has literally been handled...and Kanu will never been released...IPOB is not stronger than a whole federal government...
it because most easterners know this is the truth and the days of Nnamdi Kanu are finally fading away...they are moving with the seasons and supporting Peter Obi...

such is life ..you can choose to live in denial ..that is your problem

At the bolded, if we don't know what we are agitating for, then I can agree with you on that but because I and the multitude of Biafrans know exactly what Biafra entails, I'll strongly disagree with you.
You should remember that our case is in both the UN and ICC. The UN has given an order to the Nigerian government and we in IPOB are eagerly awaiting the expiry date to elapse. IPOB is greater than the capacity of the terrorist Nigerian government that's why she has been crying and begging the international community to proscribe us but has failed so far. She's also been begging media organizations to silence us but yet it hasn't worked either. You see, when a people are determined to at all cost get freedom, the oppressor stands no chance.
As for the Nigerian elections, we know that some of our people (non-IPOB members) who still see little hope in Nigeria will want to participate in it. It is their right to do so but we've repeatedly told them that there's no hope in Nigeria and whatever she has to offer. We know they will come home to us licking their wounds and maybe, join us seeing that we were all along very right in our position.
We are a great nation and can only be held down for an amount of time but never in perpetuity. Our time for freedom is very near. Brace up for it.

All the trash you've typed belongs to the bin. I grew up reading about nomadic education and all what was budgeted for it. I'm matured now and can't find a single block traceable to the budget of those days. This one will be no different I can assure you. What our decline of the Trojan horse will achieve is that it will keep the fulani vampires away from our land in any guise. Therefore, I reiterate that we don't need it in Biafran land. Keep it up in arewa territory.
My people have never drank milk produced by fulani cows for centuries and we've been doing very fine. We will continue to do well without it. As for the beef, we can always set up our own ranches and augment the shortfall at any price.
Away with your deceptive PR for blood suckers.

DivineNura:
Just watch how ipod piglets will be unlinshed on this thread.
Yesterday, soludo bans cows they were cheering.
Today Buhari approved funds for ranches, they're lamenting

No IPOB member cares how much the terrorist government of Nigeria allocates to his brothers for ranching in the arewa territories in the north. That is the headache of those who wish to share Nigeria with them. Is ASUU an IPOB sister association? Does such funds affect us? Our case with the useless Buhari regime is the release of the entire IPOB members held under detention and the emergence of Biafra. This is what we have set our entire lives on and everything we do is to that effect. We don't give a fvck if 10billion naira each is awarded to all the 12 Sharia complying states of the far north. It is not our problem.

Cognitivereason:
but when those cattles are on the street or in farm lands eating people's crops you will open your mouth and shout...why you all confused...you dont want open grazing..now the FG is funding ranches (ruga) to solve the problem and reduce farmer herder clash..you are still complaining

ASUU strike has barely killed people ...farmer herder clashes has wasted thousand of souls .. there is no comparison here

the funding is not exclusive to kastina but to all the state that applied including... Ebonyi, Oyo and ondo

We don't need it in Biafran land.
If it is rail lines, then we can talk.

Victory for Biafra is certain. We will remember and honour all those that stood for truth throughout our struggle for freedom. We also will not forget all those who lied against us and join the terrorist government of Nigeria to defame, torture, kill and burn our houses and properties. We will tell the story to the whole world.
May ChukwuOkike Abiama bless all his children. Isee.

Peacemaker5128:
Her Puna go don suffer in the hand of Fulani DSS

This is the sort of statement coming from a Nigerian 'peacemaker'. One can then imagine what sort of statement will come from a Nigerian 'troublemaker'. It confirms what I've been saying about the heart of an average Nigerian towards an Igbo person. What exactly is her crime? That she is supporting the call for Biafra hence she should be raped by members of the Nigerian secret service? God forbid Igbos remaining in Nigeria.

lathrowinger:
Awon terrorists

Your papa na im be terrorist.

LMAO. Biafrans agitation cannot be stopped by intimidation and coercion. It is our very survival we are fighting for.
God bless Biafra.

NuclearWinter:
Igbo members of the NASS will vote for it.

They are Judases for hire

Your death will definitely be linked to an Igbo person. In fact, 'Igbo' will be the last word you utter before your pitiable death comes.
You should realize that you're not the only one that have monopoly of hatred. Since the moderators have refused to penalize you for all your attacks against Ndigbo, I'll will in turn attack you and your useless tribe.

OyigboUpdate:
Ipob is not a TRIBE and IPOB are terrorist. Take that to the bank

IPOB is not a terrorist organization but a freedom fighting one. If we are a terrorist organization, how come your useless Nigerian government have been unable to convict our leader ever since they criminally renditioned him? They have been ordered to release and pay him compensation and they MUST OBEY THAT ORDER.
As for you, you will be forced to confess before the maximum penalty is hung on you for all the killings you have perpetrated on our people. This post will stand as a confirmation next year.

May God bless Prof. Banji Akintoye for coming out publicly and addressing this to the president of Nigeria. History has recorded it.
Let us see how many Yorubas here on nairaland will support him.
Meanwhile, if you stand for Yoruba nation but hate Biafra, you are amongst all men, the most pitiable.
Tribalism is worst than racism.

NuclearWinter:
Yes I concur

Igbos are by default to be treated as senseless violent prone niggers like their long lost brothers in the ghettos of America

This is the mindset of an average Nigerian towards Ndigbo. This is why I wrote that Peter Obi is just a distraction to the position of Ndigbo in Nigeria. Even if he wins, his 8 years won't change this mindset which is why I don't believe in Nigeria.

okeysoninv:
Even Egypt said the same thing , but at the End God's decision supersedes your human thinking. Whether caught, kidnapped , rendition the bottom line is he is under fg cage. The pastor's prophecy is accurately right. Your devil inspired leader was caught and the noise of Biafra is dying down then the rise of God anointed Igbo son Peter obi come on stage ..and surely he Will become president of this country.

Call it whatever but the future will confirm who is right. The useless presidency will never solve the problem we have with Nigeria. God did not design Igbos to be slaves in Nigeria therefore, the pastor's prophecy is unfounded. Joseph being a prime minister in Egypt second only to Pharoah didn't stop his people from being enslaved in Egypt. They only enjoyed freedom after the left Egypt. The same is the story of Ndigbo in Nigeria and any Pharoah who stands in our way will drown together with his chariots.
Nnamdi Kanu MUST BE FREED BY NIGERIA.

okeysoninv:
you are like a man trying to challenge his God. Everything the man of God said , is exactly what is happening now . He told you last year ur leader will be caught and it happened exactly. Biafra is not in God plan for now .

The voice of the people is the voice of God. Majority of our people are behind Nnamdi Kanu which is what we want. A referendum will confirm our choice which is what IPOB has been asking for. Nnamdi isn't a criminal and was not caught just like you erroneously wrote. The correct term is called 'rendition' which your Nigeria still failed to follow the proper channel. Today, the UN has asked them to PAY for their wrongful arrest and rendition which they MUST COMPLY.
God did not create Ndigbo to be slaves in Nigeria.

The movement for Biafra is far beyond the quest for presidency. Reducing it to such means you don't realize the problem with Nigeria. When I see anyone speaking against the agitating for Biafra, two things come to my mind and they are;
1. It's either the person is totally naive about the true history of Nigeria especially as it relates to Ndigbo or.
2. The person is just plain wicked and is part of the evil group running/supporting Nigeria the way she currently it.
I want anyone who really cares to go and watch the video of the surrender of Biafran leaders at the end of the Biafran war. It is very clear what the Biafran leader said. He emphasized that if the future Biafrans aren't treated fairly, they will rise up again. Haters can deny our claims of unfair treatment but they can't deny us our choice as a people. We have our fundamental human right and the Nigerian government can't deny us this by killing us. The Nigerian army has been killing our people and no one bothered to speak up for us because they all felt we deserved to be killed. Any country with a population with such belief should know that her future will always remain shaky as men are bound to resist such a set up.
The truth of the matter is that Nigeria is a contraption with many divergent interests and as such can never be united. The worst of all is that nobody feels the pain of the Igbo man which is beyond the quest for presidency. Many of our people have perished on the streets of Nigeria on the account of our ethnicity without the killers been brought to book. In fact they're openly given cover by the government. A wrong narrative is constantly been churned out against us and a gang up is always around to frustrate all our efforts despite our huge contribution to Nigeria. Was regional allocation of the political posts in the major political parties not scuttled just because it is the Igbo man's turn? Is the current Peter Obi's popularity as a result of his ethnicity or even as of a political arrangements of the political powers in Nigeria? We all know that the answer is a resounding "No". It simply means that even if Peter Obi wins and is allowed to run his 8years tenure, it will be back to status quo for the Igbo people after the end of his reign. Nothing would have changed and even the little effort that he might have made to assuage the feelings of Ndigbo could easily be rolled back by his successor who would be enjoying the blessings of the political powers controlling Nigeria.
The prophecy of the preacher notwithstanding, he grossly doesn't understand the level of the desire for Biafra in the South East. Biafra promises more than Nigeria can ever offer especially when Nigeria is yoked with islamist infested regions. It's just like joining Israel and Afghanistan together. You can imagine the chaos that's bound to ensure thereafter. The preacher still doesn't understand this.

LMAO. The foolish foster president can say whatever he's programmed to say but reality will soon hit him and his handlers very hard which is that NIGERIA MUST DIVIDE.
The current Nigerian government built rail lines and petrol refinery in Niger republic but my region was totally left out of the whole plan with no rail line, no refinery even when oil and gas is being pumped out of her. There's no federal government infrastructure in a whole region that holds one of the largest African ethnic groups yet I'm expected to remain a Nigerian. That will never happen.
Freedom all the way is what we want and that is what we must get.
Freedom for BIAFRA remains sacrosanct.

When you analyse the OPs messages and previous threads, you'll realize that his focal point has been on Ndigbo. He's somewhat obsessed by us and craves our attention so much that he doesn't care to appear insane just to get to chat with us.
For someone to claim Ijaw is the same population as Igbo even when just one Igbo state has more population and LGAs than the whole Ijaw areas listed all over Nigeria shows nothing but crass stupidity. Imo state has 27 LGAs and currently is over 6 million. Add all the Ijaw LGAs in Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta and even pockets of their communities in Edo and Ondo. They still won't get up to that LGA and population yet the urchin is here running his mouth. One can see that his mentality is definitely called to question over his claims.
I just wanted to set the records straight.

666Advocate:
Mr man �Igbos are not larger than Ijaw. Stop deceiving yourself with your false population figure.
They dont cross ❌ creeks to count Ijaws.
They do it by proxy.
Most people sent to count Ijaw are not Ijaws and are afraid � to cross ❌ creeks and know Ijaw more.
Igbos are not larger than Ijaws.

You can't answer my questions because they will expose your crude mathematics and naivety.
The whole Bayelsa is less than 3 million in population and still it is not an exclusive Ijaw state. Ijaws only are exclusive to 4 LGAs while the remaining 4, they share with others.
In Rivers State, there are more Igbo LGAs and population by far than that of Ijaws. Ahoada West, Abua/Odual and Andoni are not Ijaw LGAs just like the 4 Ogoni LGAs. Ogu/Bolo, Bonny and Opobo LGAs are shared between Igbo and Ijaw. How then can someone claim a huge population for Ijaws? It can't be substantiated. The creeks just like the desert doesn't support a huge population owing to the terrain. Just a quick search through Google maps will expose the scanty population of your creeks in down Southern Ijaw and similar LGAs. You're discussing with a person far exposed than you.
Even the Kalabari and Okrika are a mixture of Igbos and Ijaws including other ethnicities of the central Delta which you Ijaws expropriated after Igbos lost ground after the war.
Alagoa- the foremost Ijaw historian already provided of Ijaw areas in his first book. The map of Ijaw areas is in that book. You can continue to catch cruise on nairaland anyway.

I have just two questions for the OP which will answer the Ijaw population question once and for all. They are;
1. Between Bayelsa and Rivers State, which of them have more Ijaw population?
2. Outside these two states, is there any state with Ijaw having up to 4 LGAs in the whole Nigeria?
Answering these two questions alone will unravel the Ijaw population for everyone to understand.
Ijaws are not up to 5 million in population yet they are busy measuring dick with their greatgrandfathers.

skywalker240:
The UN will do nothing, they're toothless bulldogs

LMAO... A debt ridden, poverty stricken and third world shithole has no bargaining chip against an organization like UN. Russia may attempt it and survive but not the terrorist fulani government.
Do you really think you can use the name Nigeria to deceive outsiders? They know that it's a section of Nigeria that is behind the shenanigans happening here. They have been told by many people including the resolute IPOB you all love to hate. You and your fulani government cannot escape the harmattan rainfall that will pour on you very soon and remember that we will avenge all our people your men have been killing. We have all the records well kept.

When a government starts to fight everyone for every reason, you don't need to be told that they are trying to hide something bad. They want to silence everyone so the world won't know about the killings they are carrying out in Nigeria. It started from Facebook, then Twitter and now it's Google and Satellite TV stations of DSTV and TSTV. They're like Pharaoh who's ears has been deafened so he can't listen to a wise counsel. The UN has mandated them to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and pay him damages but they refused yet they are threatening international organizations operating in Nigeria. I wonder what gives them the courage to think they can disobey the UN and still threaten others. It defies logic.
Let's see how it ends though.

Chuks Iloegbunam is a fine writer. It's been a while I read something this robust, expository and satisfying. I'll check up all the books/published notes he included in this piece to improve my knowledge in the politics of yesteryears.
I believe that Chuks can now clearly see that Sam Omatseye, his friend isn't a good person. You can't write such condescending and vitriolic piece on the ethnic group of your friend if truly you cherish and respect your friend.
Nigeria has destroyed a huge percentage of her population through bitter tribalism. This is the main reason why I see no future in Nigeria the way she's presently constituted. We need a break which is to break up so we can clearly assess one another from a distance, then we can appreciate one another more deservingly.
There's no record of Igbos ever fighting violently with Yorubas yet all we get from a good number of them is hate and attacks. However, Yorubas have right from history have fights with fulanis which still persists till date with the most recent being the ones with Hausas yet they easily get over their losses in those home encounters and resume back to hating Igbos. It beats my imagination to say the least. One thing is for sure; other tribes are seeing and taking note of this character. Governor Samuel Ortom recently called for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because he clearly sees no crime in the cause that MNK is agitating. Most Yorubas still stick with the evil government of Nigeria in referring to him as a terrorist. History is taking note of our current actions.
For me, Obi is a just a distraction from us facing our realities and dealing with them permanently and earlier. Neither he nor Tinubu and Atiku with breathe life into this dead cesspit. It is very clear. Obi might be the best among the three candidates yet won't be able to magically fix a tower full of cracks whose foundation is known to be fundamentally faulty. This is why I said his emergence and even victory is a huge distraction. I wish him the best though because personally, I know he's not a bad man. He's not perfect though but is far better than his fellow competitors.
I remain focussed on the disintegration of Nigeria for the good of all.

Very interesting to watch but there's nothing really new outside what I've already known.
One thing I noticed is that most of these men who spoke don't seem to realize that the association they have in history with the Attah of Igala is one of subjugation and not of origin.
If they really cared to study the relationship especially as Attah men plundered the Nsukka area for slaves, they won't be sounding like they're doing. It is obvious that many of their ancestors were originally occupying present day areas in Southern Igala land before most of them fled further south to get away from those attacking them. It is this raids that Odekina is today attributing to dynasty change. Let me ask a simple question. Who made up the bulk of the slaves sold by the Attahs in 18th and 19th century of which we have records? It was recorded that the Obi of Aboh in the early 1800s was buying slaves from the Attah of Igala. Was it Igala slaves that the Attah was selling to the Obi? No it wasn't. Who were they and how did he source the bulk of them?
From the narrative of this producer, one would think that all these communities he's claiming just started speaking Igbo today or just a century ago but it wasn't so. It's either he is just naive or he's over ambitious. The only real Igala community persist till date which is obvious in their customs and world view example of which is Ette. The rest of them of Igbo origin but mostly bilingual due to them being on the boundary areas. A lot of them point northward as their ancestral place because it was their land that was subsumed by the Igalas. A typical example is that of the Nkpologu community which is scattered in different parts of Igbo land today even deep into Aguata in Anambra state. Is Nkpologu an Igala word?
What I realize that some of these men don't realize is that the influence of dominant Kingdom on another entirely separate people can be lasting but it really takes a superior population invasion to turn a people of another language into abandoning their original language. This has proven to be true all over the world. For example, the Romans dominated most parts of Western Europe and their language and culture influenced the people but couldn't supplant the original language of the various people. The same is for the Irish language which survives till date as a spoken language in Ireland despite the dominance of English in that territory for over 800yrs and it's number One world status today. The English did not invade and settled their land with a superior population. If they had done so, the Irish language would have been extinct. The same thing goes for the Fulani and Hausa language... Hausa language remained and dominated despite the fact that it is in colonial period captured under the Sokoto caliphate ruled by the fulanis.
My point is simply that the over 96% of Nsukka people and land are peopled by Igbos not withstanding the Igala influence of the time past. There are still whole Igbo communities in present day Igala land which gives credence to the fact that the claims of these chiefs that they came from Igala land means they came from those Igbo speaking communities and not as though they were originally Igalas who suddenly lost their language as they migrated southwards and are today speaking Igbo.

Confusion promax. The king of Omoku goes by the title, Oba Eze Nnam Obi as a result of your claims to have come from Bini Kingdom yet your story claims a popular Igbo saying about 'Oru na Igbo bu ofu. If Ogba people are only surrounded by Oru and Igbo, where then is your Bini? Is Bini extinct?
Common sense is indeed not common.
At least the Eze of Egi has not changed his title to Oba or even Emir.
Very shameful.

i pity your parents for wasting their little resources on you chaii

Clearly, I overestimated your cognitive ability and I've learnt it through your rascality. Look for you mates to engage in your infantile mudslinging.

yyba:
so no any single muslim in plateau state

If you couldn't answer my simple question, how do you expect me to answer yours? Clearly, you don't know what you're delving into so I advice you to go back and do your home work before returning to engage in this topic. Vamoose!

yyba:
so no religious war in plateau ? Sorry how old are you. So that i shouldn't waste my time and energy

Plateau state has 17 LGAs. Can you mention only three Muslim dominated ones among them to warrant your asking for a Muslim deputy? If you can't answer this simple question, then it's best you don't ever open your mouth to call on Plateau state again with respect to a Muslim deputy.

Those of us in IPOB who stood with ESN in the defense of our ancestral land were called all sorts of names but we did budge. It is because we know what the rest of you don't know. After they failed to stop ESN, they formed a killer squad where they made Udele their PR man to capture all the barbaric crimes and bring it here on nairaland to use against us. Many of you believed them and continued the defamation against us. Let me tell you this; they will do the same to Yorubas. Therefore, you all must buckle up to fight them tooth and nail. Don't expect much help from the Nigerian security. Men must be ready to lay down their lives for Yorubaland else you all will become slaves and the suffering will be worst. Whatever strategy they used against us, they will use against you. I recall when some Nigerian soldiers went about collecting/seizing the charms amotekun operatives were using to boost themselves. Where is that done any where in the world? That was to tell you that the Nigerian army is not there for you good.
Death to this terrorist contraption.

GamalNasser:
Which bandits ? Oga the game is is up we all now no they are ISWAP fighters and they are not fleeing but expanding into Nassarawa state with the seeming blessing of Buhari

Well said. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has already said it all since the 8th of June, 2015. He said they will come down Southern Nigeria well armed and back by the government. They are rightly ISWAP and not bandits like the terrorist loving Nigerian government will use to deceive you. They are simply expanding and not fleeing. You will notice how the Nigerian army will continue to lie about killing scores of these terrorists but will never back it up with CURRENT PICTURES to prove that their threats are being dealt with. Meanwhile, ignorant Christians and some neutral Muslims in the will be expended in plenty ambushes that will be organized by their officers who are aiding ISWAP in their Islamization agenda.
If you still doubt all what MNK said and what I've written here, you will certainly not escape their blade when they get to you. I'm aware that all my posts will remain on air for everyone to see even 50years into the future unless something happens to this site.
The bottom line is simply; get prepared to resist them. The current government and their army will not protect you.
