IPOB has consistently distanced itself from unknown gunmen but the fact is that there are plenty of hoodlums and terrorists springing up in igbo land under the canopy of what IPOB/ESN has started.

When you arm young men and train them to fight you are creating an opportunity for violence that you may or may not be able to control. It's very disappointing that ESN has not been able to apprehend the killers, instead all we hear is denials and press releases like this. They should be the ones entering the forest camps and taking out the terrorists

The truth is that ESN was a terrible idea that has practically finished IPOB. Ndi Igbo are very proud, stubborn people and will slowly but surely rise against this nonsense by themselves when they are fed up. By that time IPOB will be redundant laughing stock and fringe group

igbos are not know to destroy one's livelihood no matter what hausa/fulani causing issues in East hope the world is seeing it oh!!

if miyetti allah can massacre innocent hausa youths and farmers in the north because of cow
Killing hausa in the east to instigate violence against Igbo is a small stuff

Tetehjewels:
These people actually think we are fools.

So called mercenaries entered into Ipob territory unchallenged and with zero intelligence available to Ipob and carried out this massacre?

Has Huriwa forgotten how a hausa cattle herder for an Igbo man who has worked for him for over 20yrs got killed by Ipob?

Ipob was behind this but as usual trust that same way Ipob was being branded as unknown Gunmen is how this will go until they really unleash hell on themselves in igboland then they will start singing a different tune

Deep state and security forces kiii them dia

I thought the cattle have there own mini army barracks, how come unknown gun attack them?

buhari Chief of security officer is sleeping in aso Rock why foreign machineries are busy attaching his country may we never have this type of sleeping president again Amen

Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, has alleged that the Tuesday attack on Abia State cattle market, which claimed eight persons, was carried out by “members of the deep state and foreign mercenaries”.

This is as the group also alleged that the attackers are “members of the security forces or foreign mercenaries hired by Miyetti Allah Cattle Owners Association”, to resist the anti-open grazing legislation in the South-East.

The group made the allegation in a statement jointly signed by HURIWA National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, and its National Media Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf, on Thursday.

The group, in the statement titled, ‘Abia Cattle Market Attack Done to Inflict War on South-East: – Says HURIWA’, noted that the attack was aimed at “instigating killing of Ndigbo living in the far North and to spread civil conflicts between Igbo and their Northern brethren”.

The statement read in part, “We urge the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Governors of the South-East of Nigeria and the Igbo World Congress to jointly hire forensic and security experts and investigators from any part of the world to uncover the exact identities of the so-called unknown gunmen who the rights group believed are members of the security forces or foreign mercenaries hired by Miyetti Allah Cattle Owners Association angered by the anti-open grazing legislation in the South-East.

“And are now on a mission to start off civil war by attacking peaceful cattle owners just so the North will boil in anger and to transfer the aggression and reprisals on peaceful Igbo citizens of Nigeria living legitimately with their Northern brothers/sisters.”

It added, “The South-East of Nigeria is under attack by outsiders who want to cash in on the nebulous anti-cow posture of IPOB to attack northerners in the East so as to achieve their daredevil agenda and the silence and wilful inability of Nigeria’s security forces to uncover who the unknown gunmen are points to larger conspiratorial plots against the South-East of Nigeria by enemies of the Igbo"

When u believe a university dropout that failed home and abroad will build a nation for you with criminals.

Igbo Business will suffer for it .

Dsalvo:
Lol. You must be confused because of poor comprehension. What has his straightforward response, exposing how you Igbos reason, got to do with 2015.

See below again. It may click after your 'slow' brain gets up to speed. His point is that you Igbos know you cannot be President but you don't want it to be a Yoruba either. What we call sadistic haters and enemies of progress.

This is why you spend all your time attacking Tinubu and Osinbajo rather than promoting and selling Igbos who have now declared their intentions like Anyim and Umahi.

They argued back and forth in front of Solomon, 23 until finally he said, “Both of you say this live baby is yours. 24 Someone bring me a sword.”

A sword was brought, and Solomon ordered, 25 “Cut the baby in half! That way each of you can have part of him.”

26 “Please don’t kill my son,” the baby’s mother screamed. “Your Majesty, I love him very much, but give him to her. Just don’t kill him.”

The other woman shouted, “Go ahead and cut him in half. Then neither of us will have the baby.”

Not fear of been disgraced, it is Politics

Investigative:
Due to the IPOB ban on cows of bororo specie many Igbo business men are now rushing to invest in rearing of Igbo native cow
Many residents when accosted were happy on this ipob direction saying it will boost more business and healthy life in south east
Our correspondent asked a resident
His words are
The real deal have started, those that have yet to invested in local cows should do so now, because these is an opportunity for us to invest , a lot of igbo have already started doing the needful.
And the native cow is a good and nutritious meat than that of bororo

omenkaLives:
Okoro, imagine you could dedicate even half the length of this to marketing Anyim. Imagine that.

I really feel for you people.

Folks like me have said it time and again I'd not vote him, due to our preference for Osinbajo, but you lot just cant stop whining about him. Why can't you just market your own candidate rather than this sleazy crab mentality?

SaudanaofSokoto:
Many Nigerians have been fooled by some of the writers of the 1966 coup d'etat that was led predominantly by the millitary officers of Igbo ethnic estration.
[b]The reason behind the coup that many Nigerians may not be aware of was the discovery of crude oil [/b]in a place called Oloibiri,if I get the spelling right,in the present day Bayelsa state which was at that located in the eastern reglon then.

You are lacking in brain. Those who actually complained about the first census were Southerner so how could they have complained about a census that gave them the upper hand? Go and get your facts right.
If the first census favoured the South, then why did Southerners allege rigging?
You obviously have no use for logical reasoning. In both censuses the figures allocated to the North beat those of the South combined.

Deadlytruth:
So you never heard that the final results of a census can only come after all the disputes and court cases about it have been addressed? In the 2006 census you never heard Lagos State go to court over the abandonment of some enumeration units, won in court and INEC ordered to go and recount those enumeration units and add them to the preliminary results? What Balewa and Ahmadu Bello rejected were preliminary results. The final results that came after verification put the North ahead of the South and Michael Okpara and other Southerns rejected it and Balewa still allowed for a cancellation and then ordered a rerun in 1963. You are an ignoramus proud of your bold ignorance.

[s]So Ademoyega is not human and hence above error or even deliberate falsification? I can't believe that this kind of person I met on NL today still exist in this life till date.


Let me lecture you a bit on why you don't have to scrutinize very well what you read even if written by direct participants.
You may again complain that I am writing epistles but it is worth it. Just take your time and read it patiently and you will get my drift.

For example; Ojukwu wrote in his "Because I am involved" that it was he who ordered and effected Awolowo's release from jail in order that he would work with or at least for Biafra as they allegedly agreed to.
We all know Ojukwu was actually involved in all those events of that period. No doubt about that at all. But putting on your thinking cap you would realize that Ojukwu lied to attract sympathy especially from people like you who aren't really cerebral enough to easily pick holes in claims. Now here are the holes in that claim.

1. Awolowo was released on the 2nd of August 1966 from Calabar prison. As at that day, Aburi meeting had not even been held talkless of Gowon reneging on the agreement which made Ojukwu later declare Biafra. Aburi Accord was held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and it was afterwards that the agreement broke down on getting back to Nigeria and the idea of secession now began to cross Ojukwu's mind. So how was it possible that Ojukwu was already reaching agreements with Awolowo on Biafra in August 2 the previous year i.e. at least four months before secession idea first occured to him?

2. Aguiyi Ironsi was dethroned and killed on July 29 and Gowon took over that day. Then Ojukwu began to insist on Ogundipe and expressed the premonition, albeit hypocritically, that the seed for disregard of seniority had been sown. This continued for days far past August 2 date of Awolowo's release which was just Gowon's third day in office. So how could Ojukwu who was still interested in having Nigeria get it right have been negotiating with Awolowo on secession from Nigeria at that same time?

3. The order that released Awolowo from Calabar prison in the Eastern Region where Ojukwu was Governor also release the likes of Enahoro, Alvan Ikoku and many other AG stalwarts who were jailed in Western and Northern Regions prisons. Now, who between Ojukwu the Eastern Region Governor and Gowon the military head of state had the power to give an order that would be effected in prisons in all regions simultaneously? You be the judge no if Ojukwu said the truth or lied despite being directly involved in those events.

Then in his "Why we Struck" Wale Ademoyega wrote that he and his colleagues had started planning the coup from as far back as mid-1961. But in another chapter he writes that the coup was planned to put a check on the unlawfulness being perpetrated in the Western Region.
Now ask yourself how a coup plot hatched in 1961 could have been because of the Western Region crises that started later in 1962. Did the coupists have the power to foretell the future?
So you see why you shouldn't rely entirely on the author of a narration even if he was a direct participant in the events he tries to narrate in his book.
Only an intellectually deficient person swallows everything in a book just because the author was himself involved. [/s]

Keep deluding yourself. It is allowed. Bursting what is supported with hard unassailable evidences without providing counter evidences can only amount to bursting one's empty brain and beating vacuous chest.

Ignoramus emeritus the south did not complain about the 1961 census it was Balewa and Sardauna that blocked it because the south had more numbers

What a useless thread...the OP's claim about regional govt & Ironsi were busted, claim that Nigeria was working were busted. OP's true intellectual capacity also busted
