gawu1: You asked them to tell their people to leave and they consented that their people should start leaving immediately, only for their leaving to create headache for you. The fear of herdsmen is the beginning of wisdom in the south. God bless innocent Fulani herdsmen who are being subjected to molestation by ethnic jingoist
Emphasis on the TERRORIST herdsmen not the INNOCENT herdsmen.
supportnija: Op, Terrorist is terrorist and their greatest enemies are security personnel, IPOB cup go still full, the people they have been killing are their IGBO brothers and sisters, by the time their extend it, they will meet with a strong apposition. I married from Abia but since a group of people chose to kill security personel which I am part, I will never take it, Nobody is saying Nigeria as it is now is a country, do your research very well, you will see that the mate of current IGP are still Deputy commissioner of police, Police too are not happy with the structure of the country, you know what it means to salute your mate.. but killing police or any security agent is bad and condemnable.... Rest on men who died defending their country
Many of us here have been misinformed to be happy and even rejoice when a security person is killed because they are killing all our people. Especially for those of us who are not on the ground.
We want to apologise to all of you who are doing your best in a bad situation and may those who died rest in peace. For me, my family is full of security personnel and killing one of them for no reason is as good as killing me.
Note: this is a specific response to Miyetti Allah not FULANI.
1. They are not to be trusted; they have perfected the art of double speak.
2. Seeing is believing, until they start trekking back to where they came from, it’s all a farce
3. You must remain vigilant over your families, communities, and property. Sinister plans may be in progress
4. Don't make the Fulani man or woman your enemy - conduct business with them, rent houses to them, associate with them etc, so that they will know it is not out of hate that we complain but the nonstop brutal killings and rapes perpetrated by their brethren
5. Identify unusual movements, activities, and sudden arrival of strangers in your neighbourhoods and alert the community and leaders
6. Never go the farm on your own and when you do , go with a group that is able to protect itself
7. Form a security group for NIGHT Patrol between 10pm to 7am in two separate shits. They must be adequately equipped.
8. Your brethren in the North MUST take adequate precaution against sudden wanton violence which is apt to commence based on experience and as the pressure builds. They should be well informed at all times, and equipped to escape violence.
9. Children in boarding schools must have well armed security and watch towers to protect them from brutal kidnappers.
10. All lorries from the north MUST be subject to thorough inspection, you never know what is being transported
NIGERIA’S restive Southeast is right to be bothered by the postings to military formations in their region that seem to indicate that the federal government has an axe to grind with them. Last week, they listed the postings, including names of officers, and wondered whether it was not a pretext for something more sinister, like a general clampdown far more excessive and provocative than the hundreds of checkpoints that riddle and suffocate their region. Someone even controversially listed some 11 security and presidential officials from the core North who exclusively met in the nation’s Security Council to deliberate on how to solve the south-eastern question. Other regions were, however, represented in the meeting, including Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; but it is a testimony to the anxiety and tension bifurcating the country that someone tried to insinuate a sinister agenda into the presidency’s countermeasures.
The burning of police stations, murder of policemen and soldiers at checkpoints, and the rambunctious exhibitionism of IPOB’s Eastern Nigeria Security Network (ESN), particularly in the past few weeks, seem to have persuaded the federal government to propose new but so far undisclosed security measures to deal with the problem. Consequently, the region now fears a brutal clampdown that would project and reinforce the alleged ethnic antipathy President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration supposedly show towards the Igbo. This is the impression the administration’s attitude towards them has created; and perhaps it does not matter whether they are right or wrong. For instance they have groaned under innumerable checkpoints in the region far in excess of the ones in banditry and insurgency-prone regions. They think it is deliberate; as indeed the EndSars dynamics and its aftermath showed when it emerged that police operations in some northern states were, and probably still are, less severe than experienced in the Southeast.
Violently confronting law enforcement paraphernalia in the Southeast inevitably attracts a fierce response from the government. But how that response is calibrated will demonstrate the sophistication and depth of the government, including how adept they are at administering a complex and multiethnic society, and how exquisite their vision of a united and prosperous country really is. The National Security Council resolutions that authorised new but undisclosed measures against the violence in the Southeast are a product of the perspectives of the security officers and administrative officials who attended the meeting. While it is true that not only Hausa/Fulani officers attended the meeting, the Southeast believes the meeting was still skewed in favour of the former, and that its resolutions were an indication of the worldview of the core North and a reflection of its poor appreciation of the Igbo worldview. The Southeast, not to say other regions, also fear that the administration has not presented a great track record of analytical capacity to help produce fair, concise, coherent and visionary solutions to contemporary challenges dangerously morphing into ethnic and religious dissent.
The rather flamboyant but fiery rhetoric of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, may in fact have triggered and reinforced the Buhari administration’s attitude to the crisis in the Southeast. Mr Kanu has a sharper tongue, more charismatic and resonating rhetoric, more presence, and more daring than the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) from which his group broke off. He is probably more superficial than the MASSOB leader, Ralph Uwazuruike, and even more grandiloquent and egotistical, but he has captured the imagination of the disaffected in the region, and has spoken to their base and nostalgic notions of Biafra. Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe speaks of the nuanced and intellectual Biafra of the mind; but Mr Kanu speaks sadly more piercingly of the more tangible and gratifying Biafra of the physical. It takes humongous campaigns to persuade the oppressed and deeply marginalized people of the Southeast to follow the much better perspective and narrative of Sen Abaribe.
So far, despite the lack of enunciation of the new measures, there is nothing to show that the federal government and the Security Council have a proper understanding of the crisis in the Southeast or of the causes of the lawlessness now suffusing the region. They will in all probability be predicating their countermeasures on the wrong understanding of the problem and, worse still, will undergird them with even wronger parameters. The burning of police stations and murder of security agents, assuming these can be put down to IPOB and ESN, mask and distort the crisis and are symptoms of much larger and deeper fractures, some of them harking back to decades of political and cultural animosities. A sensible and enterprising administration will assemble the right brains to examine the crisis, lay bare the dynamics of the problem, and suggest solutions. Nothing indicates that such tasking and rigorous exercises were done by the Security Council, or that emotions did not becloud their reasoning and judgement when they reportedly met thrice to look at the widespread breakdown of law and order. There is also nothing to suggest that the administration is not about to sleepwalk into another insurgency in the Southeast probably deadlier than the unresolved bloodletting in the Northeast.
It is not an exaggeration to doubt the capacity of this administration to understand and manage the ongoing crisis, and not out of place to even cast aspersion on them for bungling past crises. They persisted in supporting and propagating the merits of open grazing to the point of turning a blind eye to the mayhem, killings and land seizures that accompany it; they pontificated on and embraced the ideas of seizing states’ water bodies and other resources not granted to them by the constitution; they suborned law enforcement and security agencies to placate and excuse herdsmen who pillaged communities and flagrantly bore arms, until their host communities began to procure arms to defend themselves; and they have structured federal appointments in such a way as to burnish the credentials of core North technocrats and officials almost to the total exclusion and alienation of officials from other parts of the country. It is difficult to see how the current crisis in the Southeast or any other part of the country can be solved without addressing these deep-seated grievances and fundamental notions of the federal government as a bias and spiteful entity.
If this column is right, the acceptability of Mr Kanu and IPOB, even in the Southeast, is limited. Many south-easterners view him with distrust, see him as a tinpot megalomaniac, object to his scornfulness and supercilious air, suspect he is simply feathering his own nest, and fear that power in his febrile hands would be more misused than the worst dictator could attempt. But the federal response to the burning of police stations and murder of security officers has seemed to be sadly conditioned by Mr Kanu and IPOB’s theatrics, not to say the faceless unknown gunmen running rampant in the region. A better approach will be to sift the wheat from the chaff, and like true leaders and statesmen seeking to understand what the crisis in the Southeast is telling the nation and the government in particular, find ways to remedy the grievances, and put together conciliating policies devoid of guns and bombs.
If the administration is not too far gone to reflect on how badly it has itself contributed to the crisis in the Southeast, and if they will humble themselves to listen to the remonstrations of the Igbo, they may yet hear from their high horses and make amends. But if they will not hear, let them take care not to wilt before the bitter and withering lessons of history as they trigger insurgencies on two fronts when, like Napoleon in 1812 and Hitler in 1941 in their invasions of Russia, they have not been able to pacify the first front.
I agree with Ugoji on some points, but it appears that he is oversimplifying the matter. To the best of my knowledge the current levels of violence are a direct result of extra judicial killings by the armed forces and police, dehumanisation of the youth and economic deprivation and marginalisation. This has further been compounded by marauding Fulani herdsmen who encroach on farmland and setup their communities without warning or permission; and when resisted they resort to murder, rape and maiming.
Boko Haram was a Jihadist movement.
We should as a collective group desist from attacks on security forces who are merely following orders to secure towns, villages, and communities.
December 2003, 200 Boko haram members attacked police stations in Geidam and Kanamma, Yobe state. That was the infancy. They killed police officers, took their guns and freed detainees. Some cheered. In June 2004, Boko haram tried to break into jail in Damaturu. We have been through this path before.
In Oct 2004, Boko haram attacked a convoy of 60 policemen and took 12 of them hostage. As they dispensed evil, their followership, and perhaps popularity amongst some folks, soared. So by 2005, the Governor of Yobe appointed a known Boko haram devotee to his cabinet. Buju Foi, became commissioner for religious affairs. It’s a familiar path. The dalliance with groups flirting with an insurgency. Cowardly state governments place opportunism above all else. An altercation sparked by crash helmets would lead soldiers to shoot to quieten the tantrum of the budding insurgency. Boko haram lost members and went feral. By 2010, they had developed teeth and an appetite for blood.
They stormed Bauchi prisons, killed soldiers and policemen and freed 700 inmates. We lacked WhatsApp and Twitter information dissemination pornographic propensities then. But the Owerri prison drama is familiar. We have been through this path before. By 2011, Jonathan had settled in, and the insurgency’s audacity seemed to grow. Opponents of Jonathan in the north mocked and sneered. They gave the insurgents thumps up with their ambivalence. Boko haram proselytized. They said the people were impoverished because the government was corrupt, run by infidels. Emirs, Northern elites, took solace in ba komi. The insurgents killed, muzzled local dissent. They killed Ibrahim Birkuti, a cleric who didn’t mince words like the others. They must have considered him an efulefu. They destroyed churches but didn’t spare traitorous mosques.
They attacked the police headquarters in Abuja. A few times, they visited the market in Maiduguri and looted shops to the silent praise of a mob of cheerleaders. The insurgents later bombed the United Nations building. Before the vermins ransacked the Northeast, we could have leashed or suffocated them. Before they became a scourge, we could have untied our scorn and lashed at them with one voice. But we didn’t. We cuddled them into idiocy, lunacy. The owners of the land, befuddled by ignorance, politics and mawkish sentimentality, chased rats when the inferno sprouted. Today, President Jonathan eats Banga soup and fresh fish in Otuoke, but many ostriches are perched around Abuja, craning their necks like lost pigeons. Sometime during that forgettable period, we paid 100 million because an angry policeman shot Yusuf, the Boko haram leader, dead. We said it was extra-judicial murder; we appeased his family.
Fear made us hide behind the rule of law. We have since learnt to bulldoze the houses of small scale kidnappers. While we cuddled Yusuf’s family, nobody appeased the families of the soldiers and policemen whom Boko haram and Yusuf killed. That reminds me, despite all the murders and abominations committed by his group, we said Yusuf was not violent. I once watched the Sultan lecture a visiting President Jonathan. Jonathan didn’t have the aura of a lion king. The sultan said the insurgency didn’t require military highhandedness. His recipe was palliatives, the sort of balm we applied on the Niger Delta. Lamido Sanusi brought out data and said that the Northeast was receiving peanuts from the federation. The northern intelligentsia hitherto known for outspokenness spared their youths and lashed Jonathan and the country with their tongues. I’m not a fan of Jonathan. The bulk stopped at his table. But if only the northern elites had looked down the road and taken moral responsibility. Those chickens have since come home to roost. Gen Ihejirika, who was accused of avenging Biafra with his firmness against the insurgents, has retired to his family. Those who vilified him are licking their wounds. The sore has metastasized.
Our northeastern limb is gangrenous. They pampered the sore. We should have seen it coming. Boko haram robbed banks and destroyed police stations. But rather than call a spade a spade, they called it poverty induced youthful mischief which money could contain. They didn’t call it cancerous extremism. Those who built their politics on the foundation of religious fundamentalism and sharia politics saw the rise of Boko haram and smirked. They cuddled the insurgents with sympathy and affection. They fantasized a future where other politicians who preached moderation and tolerance would be excommunicated into oblivion as sin-drenched infidels. Despite the advertised ideology of Boko haram, which was incompatible with liberal constitutionalism, many intelligent people justified and others excused Boko haram’s atrocities. At the earliest stages, some of these people said that the problem of Nigeria was the evil constitution.
They didn’t say it was not drafted by the people; they said it was not drafted by God. They didn’t call Nigeria a zoo; they called it the satanic construct of atheistic white men. So they justified Boko haram as messiahs and allowed their excesses as the collateral damage of redemption. Those in it for the short term benefit of muddling the waters for Jonathan jubilated when the insurgents kidnapped the Chibok girls. Today, intelligent folks pretend not to know who the Unknown Gunmen are. They will not cast a glance at the northeast rear mirror. They would be happy if Satan himself came with heavy natural disasters. They want Buhari messed up. Others hope the unknown gunmen could bring down sufficient mayhem and break the country. While praying for armageddon, they will blame Buhari for not providing security and ask him to resign. It’s a familiar path to an apocalypse.
thebosstrevor1: Stop saying every southern, lets be sincere, they are ibos and they love to shit drugs from their anus.
Your records.
High numbers of shitters at our airport. Highest number of drug swallowers. Highest numbers of prisoners in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. Who are the ones selling people in libya- ibo Organised prostitution rings
This is just a few of your achievements
I am still trying to find the achievement of one Fulani man or woman - nothing ? When I search for Fulani in google it comes up with terrorist herdsmen or cow herders, thieves, bandits, corrupt politicians and kidnappers . Please nigger help us out with one Fulani achievement.
naija1stnigar: If not for the Israeli air defense system Hamas plan was to wipe out Israel as nation, they would have killed thousands if not for the iron dome and you expect Israel not to retaliate? Even their retaliation is a very soft retaliation because before carrying out any attack they will have first give warnings to civilians around the targeted areas before launching a major attack basically to destroy facilities used by the terrorist Hamas, I see no reason why anyone should give Israel a bad name for defending themselves.
If Israel goes full scale war, they will flatten Hamas in 10 minutes.
All the Arab countries combined cannot defeat Israel thats why they have made peace after losing three wars.
And don't forget, Israel has the final solution - over 300 Hydrogen Bombs / enough to destroy all the major cities in the world. Israel is not playing - after the Holocaust they learnt their lesson - NEVER AGAIN !!
thebosstrevor1: Nnamdi kanu is in London enjoying spring.
You are here typing how bokoharam started.
Don't compare bokoharam terrorists with Ipob terrorists.
Shekau is in the bushes while Kanu is in London.
If Nnamdi kanu was an American or achinese demanding for the separation of texas or Shanghai he will be in prison today, Nigerian government is too lenient of terrorists and Secessionists
I want to educate the Nigerian armed forces on how to quell riots, violent demonstrations, and even separatist movements. Remember how Boko Haram started as a fringe group that no one had even heard of and though they did try to preach their radical version of Islam, they posed no harm to the general populace.
Unfortunately the illiterate and poorly trained army leaders and their police counterparts decided to escalate the situation by murdering the Boko Haram leader without a trial, they even killed passers-by who they accused of been members of Boko haram. Furthermore, they went on a terror campaign against villages and communities who they accused of harbouring Boko Haram members. The rest is history. Today the North is ravaged with all manner violence and chaos, and you have lost thousands of soldiers and police men. Was it really worth it ??
Now/ your dumb leaders are repeating the same tactics in the middle belt, the south east and south south ; murder, rape, killing people in their sleep and leaving behind deep seated hate and anger. Very soon people gain access to arms and the whole region is engulfed in violence. What else will be left for Buhari or the next president to rule over? Maybe a pile of ashes.
You must become CIVILISED and get some SENSE. Send some of your dumb leaders to advanced countries and even some Muslims countries to learn how to deal with national disturbances , violent riots and even with separatist movements.
If you don’t heed this warning, you may continue to kill and main and destroy and shout for joy - but you will quickly become an endangered species in Nigeria to the detriment of your families and your own land.
Now watch these videos and tell me if this was the right course of action to take.
While other militaries are known for their protection of their country, the useless Nigeria military specialise is killing unarmed citizens, villagers etc. Send them to fight a real army and they flee.
Hashabiah: Let's see where this will lead them. I thank God they're surrounded by Arabs on every side and we'll see how in unfolds in the coming weeks
I don't support the actions of the Zionist government, but the Arabs can do nothing about their presence. I hope you know they have nuclear weapons of the worst kind.
Fejoku: The title of this thread didn't do justice to the amount of information it revealed. This is why lots of nairalanders haven't viewed or commented in it.
AdakaBoro8: ipigs form BSS, army finished them at enugu.. ipigs form volunteers, army finished them at oyigbo.. ipigs form esn again, army finished them at orlu and aba, then flog their leader to death.. now ipigs for ugm again. bt now the ugm afraid to attack army. coward ugm are only forming power on nigeria women police.
My friend shut up , your soldiers are useless - using obselete weapons and outdated tactics, thats why they are deleteing you like rats in Nigeria.
Simplyleo: This is one of the animals listening to the nonsense being spread by ipob pigs on social media. So a Christian will now tell Muslims how they should practise their religion?
Once the moon is sighted by any of the moon sighting committees across the country, the message is conveyed to the sultan and he announces accordingly for the purpose of uniformity. If you, Sunday Igboho (a Christian) like, you are free to celebrate any day you want, that is entirely your foolish business. The sultanate never forced anyone to comply with its directive.
Bauchi celebrated their Sallah yesterday, did you hear any noise? The choice is entirely yours but Muslims who know what it means to be obedient to leaders will comply with the announcement of sultan.
Funny how fools who spend all their useless days insulting Islam as a religion will now tell you how Islam should be practised.
Shamless double African slave. First of all a slave to the Arabs and secondly a slave to the Fulanis. What a pathetic life.
