The good thing is, they call us coward, but na only Yoruba people dey face these people. Out Igbo brothers just dey throw threats like spear...

Yorubas and Fulani's don dry clash since time memorial. But as much as dem kill igbos reach, na mouth!

We go retaliate, we go throw bomb, we go finish u, we go erase u...

Like fela said, "i go beat u die", na shakara.

No fewer than two people reportedly died while property worth millions of naira were destroyed following a clash between Fulani traders and Yoruba natives of Oro-Ago in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

Our correspondent gathered on Wednesday that some irate youths allegedly razed at least five vehicles and 10 motorcycles said to be owned by some Fulani people in the ensuing pandemonium.

A source, who pleaded anonymity for fear of attack, told journalists in Ilorin that the mayhem was allegedly caused by Fulani-Bororo settlers who, allegedly flouted a rule in the area that the settlers should never bring arms, ammunition and fighting sticks from their settlements to market on Oro Ago market days.

He stated that some armed Fulani traders came to the market on Monday.

He added that the vigilance team and hunters in the area accosted them, seized the weapons from them and later kept them at a place in Oro Ago town.

The source said the leader of the Fulani people in the area, popularly called Serikin Fulani, surprisingly stormed the place where the ammunition were kept with his people, carted away the weapons seized by the vigilance team and handed them back to the Fulani traders.

The source said the hunters and vigilance team attempted to retrieve the re-captured weapons from the Fulani people.

According to him, violent clash erupted between the two camps, leading to a breakdown of laws and order as weapons were allegedly used freely by the warring parties.

Police Public Relations Officer, Kwara State Police Command, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi, said it was untrue that seven people were killed during the clash.

He claimed that two people were killed.

Okesanmi added that security operatives had restored normalcy to the area as, according to him, people have resumed normal socio-economic life and are going about their normal business unmolested.

You must be (permit me to use your blunder) illiterating yourself to assume I'm expecting to benefit more from this government than the Igbo flatheadz. GMB's govt will be accommodating, considerate and based on meritocracy. My issue is that igbos are trying to claim rights where they have none. By the way, those appointments only affect the people holding the position and not his tribe.

which of course,,u wont survive till the end...u think civil war is the movies u watch where the underdog becomes the villian and kills on his perceived enemies...lol..u better pray against war...

san316:
since it doesn't suit you it is silly. Who has sleepless nights whenever the igbos want to secede? The igbos can go for all I care. They are the clogs in Nigeria.

The fact is that, the igbos as an ethnic group have no moral right to make any demand on the present government. But for equity n justice, igbos will not have anything.


I owe no one no apology for my stand.

nerodenero:
Some Igbos simply wants everything politically which isn't bad but at times, I think their demands are wrongly placed.

@illiad has a point.
"multi tasking" has been the bane of Nigerian politicians
They always try to be the jack of all trades - so as to appear to be working - only to end up accomplishing nothing.

Do you doubt that Jonathan would have easily won if he had only annihilated boko haram and rescued the Chibok girls??

Any president that will bring about 24/7 uninterrupted power supply as his ONLY achievement will win re-election with landslide.

Forget corruption and the economy( they are both very important, l know), but people care more about what they can directly benefit from; what they can directly feel, appreciate and relate to.

ediot, go and ask about ajegunle mayhem you dumb flattie.. If we start giving you Hausa treatment now, you will be the one crying and start playing victim's card.

ThisMeansWAR:
of course there would still be ibos.. Everyone knows ibos like money more than their life, but the question is, will guys still have the mouth to start shouting no man's land if we reduce your population by just 50 percent in lagos?

Although I know, you are not amongst those that shout lagos is no man's land but your words encourage them.

Just thank your head that we are not savages.

Unlike Clueless Joe, good leaders are able to multi-task. Do not cling to only one deliverable. Expect 5, at a minimum!
