[size=14pt]Assembly orders probe of ‘Fulani Republic’ in Abia [/size] http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/11/assembly-orders-probe-of-fulani-republic-in-abia/ |
[size=16pt]Abia House launches investigation into alleged Fulani Republic in Ohafia [/size] UMUAHIA—THE Abia State House of Assembly has ordered an investigation into the reported putting up of a sign post with the inscription “Fulani Republic” near the 14 Brigade Army Barracks, Ohafia Council Area of the State. The House also recalled its former Minority Leader, Sir Abraham Oba, who was suspended about three months ago following the position of his party on the N30 billion bonds the government wanted to secure. The investigation by the House followed a petition brought by the member representing Ohafia South constituency, Chief Uchendu Ifeanyi, which drew the attention of the House to the alleged “Fulani Republic” sign post mounted by Fulani herdsmen. According to Uchendu, the said sign post “posed threat to peace in his constituency” because it created the impression that the herdsmen had taken over that portion of land where they grazed their cattle. The committee which has Chikwendu Kanu representing Isiala Ngwa South Constituency, as Chairman, was charged with the responsibility to establish if the said “Fulani Republic” land was part of the Army land and how the Fulani came into its alleged occupation. The committee is to submit its report next Wednesday. Activities of Fulani cattle herdsmen in some Abia communities have become a source of great worry to the people because the cattle cause huge damage to crops and farmlands in these rural communities where the breeders illegally and brazenly colonize as grazing grounds and dared the land owners for a showdown when challenged. Besides the damage on crops and other farm produce, the aggressive nature of the Fulani cattle guards is more of concern to any community they invade. They are always armed to the teeth with dangerous weapons, including AK47, charms and deadly daggers and machetes and are ready to attack the farm owners at the least provocation. There have been reports of clashes between the herdsmen and farmers in some Abia communities of Uzoakoli in Bende Local Government Area, Ebem and Akanu in Ohafia and Umuchieze in Umunneochi of deadly clashes between rural farmers and the cattle breeders. In Ozuakoli for instance, a man popularly known in the areas as Ajambele sometime in the past received a deadly attack when he confronted Fulani cattle herdsmen who invaded his farmland with their cattle and he met the cattle destroying his farm in the Over Rail area of the community. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/abia-house-launches-investigation-into-alleged-fulani-republic-in-ohafia/ |
SonOfEl:It's not a credit news but it's featured on several newspapers. Should I be surprised that our online igbo warriors are denying Fulani claims on their land? One coward even said that Fulanis have a right to hoist their flag in Abia near an army barrack. |
Not my work...
|
ChokolateBoss:Look at this coward igbo tout, of course you'll deny it. It's on several newspapers. Pick your poison. You guys keep denying. They need more land and total compliance. |
ruggedboy01:You didn't answer my question. |
^^^ I like the Amosun is doing this even if it's FG's responsibility. He's doing it for Ogun state and Ogun people. We need more of our governors to stop waiting on federal implementation. |
[size=14pt]Governor Amosun Fixes Lagos-Ibadan Expressway[/size] Concerned about the plight of commuters on the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway, the Ogun State Government has embarked on palliative work on bad portions of the expressway. Speaking during an inspection tour of the ongoing palliative work being carried out by the Ogun State Ministry of Works on the federal road at about 1 pm on Wednesday, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun State Governor said, “In the real sense of it and for me there are no federal people, the people plying this road and other affected Federal roads within our axis are our people. We are all Nigerians and we are already collaborating with the Federal government to contribute our on quota to ensure that this road is fixed.” The governor who was accompanied on the inspection by his wife, Mrs. Olufunsho Amosun; Ogun State Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs.) Yetunde Onanuga and members of the Ogun State executive council, assured that the really bad portions of the expressway currently causing major gridlock around the Arepo area will be fixed within three days. He said this was even more necessary in order to ease traffic on the ever-busy road before this coming weekend when major churches on the expressway are billed to hold their monthly programs that often attract millions of worshippers. While explaining that the situation of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway has got the attention of President Muhammadu Buhari who he said would ensure that work commences on the road after the rainy season, Governor Amosun added that the Ogun State government has only decided to carry out the palliative measures in order to ease the suffering of people travelling on the road. The Ogun State governor said his administration had always carried out such works on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Old Abeokuta expressway, Sagamu-Ogijo road and other federal roads within the Ogun State territory. Explaining why some of these roads are often over stretched, Governor Amosun noted that “Ogun State is strategically located in such a way that goods and passengers going to all other parts of the country have to pass through the state. This is coupled with the presence of many religious camp sites that also draw large congregations.” Though the governor noted that the development shows how strategic and important Ogun State is, he however said the pressure on the roads would not have been that much if only the nation’s rail system was functional. Governor Amosun assured that the state government was expediting actions on putting in place palliative measures that would “make the road easily passable within three weeks and we are not only working on this road.” Source: DailyIndependent |

Go and find a job or start a small business. |
If it's a secret, how did you guys find out? So what's the HBP about? |
Aareonakakanfo: ![]() |
Aareonakakanfo:I already know. And no, I'm not telling if she won't. In the eyes of the law, any friends and lover of yorubas/yorubaland is Yoruba. |
CSTR2:So I'm insane but the almajiris hoisting tarabic flags on your land is sane? Pitiful igbo tout. |
I think the common theme I'm witnessing is that information is not well spread out. Radio Kudirat? |
Aareonakakanfo: |
quimicababes:Wow, you're absolutely correct! While we wait for governmental implementation, we need more private investors [Femi, and all these rich pastors]. |
CSTR2:Is this about me now? Am I the one that hoisted the flag? I know our ipod youths go form mouth blame Yorubas for this. Abia.......wow, boko harams are really moving to the East. You guys, continue to form coward, hiding behind Ijaw identity [biafra] |
Herald47:Keep quiet. Yorubas are currently dealing with them. How are you cowards dealing with them? |
CSTR2:Sharrap! Abia is Fulani land. |
quimicababes, will be back to reply your post. |
Aareonakakanfo:He'll probably come whilst you're sleeping. Gotz to go. O di osan. |
Aigbofa: lmaooo because I read that in Buhari's voice. |
totit:LOL IPOB touts ran to the principle [Abia Governor] to report Fulani bullies. This is the same fear that gripped them when they heard that boko haram was coming to town. Our igbo brothers are awfully quiet o. But if na Yoruba carry the flag.....ewoooo! Watch them blame Yorubas for this. Bunch of cowards. |
Aareonakakanfo:hmmm nkan ti MayorOfLagos ti sofun mi nipa e poju. |
Honestly, Fulanis don't even fear the army barrack because 80% of our army soldiers are Fulanis/northerners. Dem carry flag come put am for Biafra state in anticipation of their million man march. Who is sponsoring Fulanis? |
totit:Imagine if fear grips them at the sight of a white flag with black dots, wetin dem go do when they declare war on Nigeria? |
Aareonakakanfo:*rubs his carefully rounded beer belly* Oya, forget about that one. Let them keep crying victim. He included you because you're [NNPC.com/gov/org] oga at the top. Ma je ka fi tiredi yii discuss awon omo ale. |
@OAM4J lalasticala freeglobe, nikkiking, etc are you guys safe in Abia? |
