Exactly how you have been underestimating us and being fvcked again and again - Olodo rabata

Luckygurl:
Oh please!! Stop with the defense already..
Those kids wouldn't have died this way if things were done properly.
A government that never cared about the safety of those kids whilst alive is suddenly very concerned about the bodies that'd decompose.
Doesn't that sound creepy to you?

We still have a long way to go

Pls explain how else could the state govt done things properly to have avoided their deaths?
How did the govt failed to care for their safety? - pls be specific with your answer.

Beremx:
foolish people!! keep destroying your region and think you're doing yourselves good.

After polluting their area by themselves who would they have to blame again?

LOL, guy you are on your own because I cannot imagine most ppl not enjoying their daily dose of one or the other - though not saying there are no alternatives.

There is a documentary about the Biafra war circulating on social media. The relevant security agencies should do something to stop it as it could breed more harm than the history the creators tagged it.

https://www.facebook.com/africanews24/videos/vb.842658562528146/880974365363232/?type=2&theater

I see nothing wrong with this documentary, let the truth be told so that lessons can be learnt.

I for one learnt the following:

First, there was the underlying genesis of the war, which was identified as Igbo resentment of northern leadership of the country, resulting in the first coup that brought Igbos to power, during which they accused the previous government of corruption but ironically themselves ending up more corrupt than the one they replaced, associated with Igbo favoritism and arrogance against other Nigerians; which in turn resulted in the counter-coup, the pogrom and subsequently the war.

Secondly, we also learnt that the Igbos pursued an expansionist agenda, they were the first to cross into Nigerian soil, and also lay claim to territories beyond Igboland that included other southern minorities.

Thirdly, IPOBians wishing for war should appreciate the following:

The war was fought almost entirely on Igboland (not on Nigerian territory) with devastating impact on the infrastructure, while majority of Nigerians were carrying on with their normal business unaware and unaffected as the Biafrans were being traumatized by the realities of war and clinging for survival.

The two sides approached the war with different levels of urgency: The Biafrans at full stretch with so much urgency, their army resorting to conscription, including child soldiers; while Nigeria was more leisurely, its army depending solely on volunteers who were well paid and better equipped - without the need for conscription.

The Nigerian lead govt never saw the Biafrans as enemies, refusing to call them so, but as rebels, rebelling against their own family; with a vision to always bring them back into fold - as actualized by the post war (3 R's') programs of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Reconciliation of the Gowon govt.

Both sides engaged external assistance in terms of weapons and mercenaries: the Biafrans from Sweden and Nigeria from Russia (Mig jets) and Egyptian pilots; with the high Biafran civilian casualty being blamed on the latter who were described as shy of anti-aircraft fire.

The Biafran civilians suffered untold hardship because the war itself was like pitching David against Goliath in which the Biafrans never stood a chance of winning.
Inevitably, there was international sympathy for the suffering civilians which earned them humanitarian aid of food and medicines through the Red Cross and Christian missionaries but on the other hand the Nigerian Government (which never unleashed the full weight of its resources into the war) enjoyed full political support of the international community - especially Britain, USA and USSR.

Yes, oil was a major factor that may have influenced international support and the outcome of the war but certainly not the only reason - not very few wars in history were not fought over or unconnected with one resource or another.

The above foregoing should be reason enough for those presently wishing to tempt history to remember that history has a way of repeating itself - because any secessionist war would likely be fought again on Igboland, affecting predominantly Igbos with majority of Nigerians as before relatively unaffected.

MasterofNL:
I say a big [size=16pt]"SHAME!!!!!"[/size] to kano State government.

You sent secondary school kids to represent their state all the way to Lagos and could not book flights for them.

I still cannot believe that these kids were sent to Lagos by road.

Jesus!

How many state governments can afford to fly their secondary school kids or officials by air on state assignments, in fact pls list the states who sponsored their students to that competition in Lagos by air.

nigeriancritic1:
They couldn't afford to fly them to Lagos but they could afford to fly their dead bodies. Governance with compassion is what we need.

swaggzo:

HUMANS GET TREATED BETTER WHEN THEY'RE DEAD, OR YOU DON'T KNOW?
THEY BOOKED BUS FOR THEM WHEN THEY WERE ALIVE,
NOW DEAD, THEY FLY FIRST CLASS!

It sometimes pays to think before jumping to conclusion.
Government was intervening only to assist because corpses decompose quickly especially in this heat than live beings.
Secondly, Muslims need to bury their dead as soon as possible, without any fuss or delay; hence the urgency to airlift them back home for burial.
Shey you understand?

ZACHIE:
So, you think I didn't think it through before writing? It is you who needs to broach over your thought process, please.

Will the Governor allow his children to make that journey by road knowing the state of that journey?
They are representing the State and not themselves. A safer mode of transport would be paramount if their own wards were involved.

That is a journey of1,200 kilometres with an equal number of potholes and death traps.
A truly caring government will fix that road before throwing its citizens into a gamble journey.

What is a corpse that it cannot be interred where it is? Islam did not ask for bodies to be flown across hills and valleys just for burial rites.

You are really incorrigible, pls tell me how many of the states which participated in the national competition sponsored their students to travel by air and how practical is it for governments to sponsor any long distance trip by air? - Not even football teams who are often on the road (pothole or no pothole) can do that.

I don't believe you expected Kano State to be responsible for the repair and upkeep of the entire road network all the way to the venue of the event in the south.

On the issue of Islam/burial; pls refrain from commenting on what you do not properly understand or appreciate.

Trash concocted in the back streets of Aba or Owerri by an IPOBian suffering from FLATINOSIS.

ZACHIE:
They vcouldnt afford air travel for them.
But can afford airlifting corpses
Bullcrap

Blah blah blah blah. Hypocrite is what u are, u child of hate. Abeg vamoose from my front make I see road

Cursed child, I pity your life.

VivianUdeogu:
We igbos should stop making noise and boasting on the internet. It is high time we igbos do something about these fulani people that are killing we igbos like rats. I even learnt that the fulani's have redecorated our biafran flag

And you brought this lie just to incite more hate - wonder how many of you would survive in a world freed of hate - SMH!

Wealthgang:
Nice developmen, though some will still find sth 2 whine abt. Its in their DNA

Wise man, I agree, nice development; though like you, i am also sure the Shildren of Hate would not like this at all.

so many so so low IQs on Nairaland. if you

to close your mouth.
A president is at Liberty to travel with family

When Bill Clinton made several state visits in
company of his daughter.

Abeg no mind these Shildren of Hate, Jimmy Carter sef came to Nigeria with his daughter during OBJ military regime - make dem use google for more knowledge.

Did u watch nta network news yesterday? Those pictures are fake but it happened cos the cows with bullet wounds were shown. Don't just discredit every news for whatever reason afford to go an extra mile to find out don't spend all your time on nairaland

Oboy, abeg tell am oOh!

@OP:
Blame it on poor lazy Nigerian journalism, some newspapers are too lazy to go out and take true pictures of the actual scene, instead they prefer to use old ones from their archives resembling the current incidence to cover their story - though it doesn't mean the event didn't happen.

Candyrain:
I believe he was sacked because he came out to announce that Fulani herdsmen were responsible for the hideous act. Why has the CP of Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba, Delta and others not sacked?

Yeye dey smell

You guys are incorrigible; if its not one conspiracy theory its another - perpetually imprisoned in your own ever twisted minds.
You asked for his head and he was sacked, now that he has been sacked you are still not satisfied, you are blaming his sack on the the govt.
Children of hate, abi dem swear for una?

mrvitalis:
Tribalism in Nigeria stated with this man and awolowo... .. zik was the one who really wanted one Nigeria. .. . And if we had 3 zik.. . Nigeria would have been a more integrated country

If you think so, then I suggest you read this; perhaps you may appreciate how the Igbo agenda to dominate had played itself out again and again and also failed to date - including where the Sardauna was coming from with the statement accredited to him against the Igbos.

”It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages ….” – Dr Azikiwe, President of the Pan-Igbo Federal Union. (The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949).


https://www.nairaland.com/3083310/igbo-introduced-tribal-politics.by-ffk

Ndigbo's new ally had this to say awhile back... HOW THE IGBO INTRODUCED TRIBALISM TO NIGERIAN POLITICS. BY Femi Fani-Kayode October 28, 2012 Premium Times. ”
Igbo domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time”- Charles Onyeama, a prominent igbo lawyer and member of the Central Legislative Council, 1945. (Page 204 ”Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria” by Godfrey Mwakikagile). ”It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages ….” – Dr Azikiwe, President of the Pan-Igbo Federal Union. (The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949). The first statement from Charles Onyeama, which was made in 1945, was the first overtly tribal and divisive comment that was made and recorded in the politics of southern Nigeria in our history.
That is where and when tribalism in the south actually started. After that comment, and as a direct reaction to it, the Yoruba established the ”Egbe Omo Oduduwa” to further and protect Yoruba interests and after that came the formation of the Action Group in 1948. The second statement from Zik, which was made in 1949 (and which clearly shows that the great Zik of Africa had forgotten that the NCNC was not an Igbo party at the beginning and that it had in fact been established by an upper class and very well educated Yoruba man by the name of Sir Herbert Macaulay, one of the famous ”Black Victorians” from the Lagos Colony, and who, at his death bed, was gracious enough to hand over the leadership of the party to him even though he was Igbo) confirmed that tribalism was here to stay in the south and that ever since that time the Igbo had an agenda to dominate others.
This sentiment and this unfortunate Igbocentric attitude is what cost Zik the premiership of the Western Region in 1953 when the NCNC narrowly lost to the Action Group. It is clear from this that if you want to know who started tribalism in southern politics and the politics of the southern protectorate of Nigeria, it was not the Yoruba or the southern minorities but the Igbo. The excesses of the Igbo State Union and their treatment of the southern minorities and the Yoruba from 1943 till 1967 was completely unacceptable. The rest of the south were prepared to accept the Igbo as equals with open arms but they were not prepared to be politically dominated or conquered by them. Worst still, the first coup in the history of Nigeria, which was the Jan 15th 1966 coup d’etat, led by Major Ifejuana and Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, was essentially an Igbo coup and an Igbo grab for power. I say this because 95 per cent of those that took part in it were Igbo and 99 per cent of the political and military leaders that were brutally murdered during its execution were non-Igbo. It was this coup and its sheer brutality that led to the even more brutal northern officers counter-coup of July 1966 (in which 300 Igbo officers were killed in one night including the Igbo Head of State, Gen. Aguiyi-Ironsi, and his Yoruba host, the Military Governor of the Western Region, Adekunle Fajuyi who sought to protect him), the pogrom of Igbos in the north (in which over 100,000 Igbo civilians were killed in a few weeks) and the Nigerian civil war (in which 2 million Nigerians and Biafrans died). These are the facts of our history. Live and learn.
If you want to know who introduced tribalism into southern politics, it was the Igbo. If you want to know who carried out the first coup in our country, it was the Igbo. Having done the painstaking research over a number of years these are my findings and this is my conclusion. I will open my Facebook wall for a robust discussion and debate on this issue and I will accommodate contributions from even those that are not my Facebook friends just for thism debate. I will accommodate all shades of opinion and contributions from anyone that cares to join in the fray and I want to encourage those that disagree with my findings to state their case. We are all still learning but please take note that any rude or insulting comments will be deleted. This is a historical debate and I would encourage all those that seek to quote anyone or make any assertions to mention their sources so that we can cross check the facts
Femi-fani kayode.

The case is ongoing but no longer news because those bigots and the newspapers who were masturbating over the case by throwing insults and curses on the entire tribe, religion and region of the perpetrator; now have more to hide themselves, as more and more worst cases are being exposed in their own backyard: fathers raping and impregnating own daughters, pastors raping and impregnating minors etc. are now so common and being reported on daily basis - Ese/Yunusa's case simply doesn't compare.

What didn't we know: Igbo and tribalism are all the same.

Collect all she stole and make she expose all the other lootocrats or else let her land inside Kuje on a diet of watery beans.

^^^^^LOL, is that a University?
Just look at the unkempt grass, no wonder the Fulani may be confusing it for bush to graze their cows.

Been doing that for years to source fuel for my generators - nothing new.

xharder:
These herdsmen are stepping beyound their boundary.....



The woman was working in her farmland before they invaded her land with their cows. She kept booing them to leave her farmland. They didn't even mind,they just continued what they were doing....

Just put yourself in her shoes..

Unfortunately, all that can be seen is cattle roaming in a bush without any resemblance to a cultivated farmland - perhaps a better video may help.

Martins301:
SE niggas should stop displaying their unculturedness everywhere on Nairaland. Fizznation put forward an argument and all you guys just want to eat him raw instead of engaging him intellectually. This is why I will NEVER SUCCUMB to the idea of SS joining SE cos you guys will always want to shout the minorities down even if THEY ARE MAKING SENSE.

On the Fulani herdsmen fiasco, I believe 95% of whatever is on the internet is untrue. I know Fulani herdsmen and I know they don't react unless provoked. I won't be surprised if the truth is that some youths in that community ganged up and killed one of the cows belonging to one herdsman and the guy with his friends came to retaliate or maybe book haram is trying to extend their terror to SE.

All in all, SE people know that Buhari is Fulani and they just want to rub the dirt on his face. Too bad cos I and many others are not buying the crap.

God bless Buhari
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

God bless you, my thoughts exactly, they wouldn't just attack unless provoked - there is more to this story than meets the eye
I do not blame FIZZNATION for expressing doubt over this particular allegation because of the huge inconsistencies: First from the Police Commissioner, himself an Igbo man, who publicly dispelled the allegations against the Fulani on TV and attributed it to Igbo hoodlums; Secondly, the lack of evidence directly linking incidence to the Fulani, except hearsay; even as it is now the Police Commissioner is using the words SUSPECTED, but nothing concretely confirming them as the culprits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJZ6B0Lrbbg
Lastly, we cannot ignore the fact that these recent clashes are being politicized and given ethnic/religious colouration rather than what they truly are (i.e. economically motivated crimes) in order to incite maximum hatred and distrust among Nigerians towards a certain political agenda - we also know that there are some ppl very capable of lying and exaggerating stories to this end.
Considering the above foregoing, it is quite easy to appreciate why some ppl may have doubts concerning the authenticity of the recent reported attacks in the SE especially after taken into account the separatists sentiments from that region.

Elthugnificent:
Of course, when someone died he automatically becomes a saint. Funny how people are just showering Gej with love and praises.

I for one though never regret kicking his corrupt arse out of power.

How people are quick to forget though.

Don't mind them: Celebrating the man who presided over an unprecedented looting and rape of this country, who indirectly stole and squandered their future - its amazing how some can be so silly and sentimental.
