Yes, I made those pronouncements and so shall it be. They'll start with the cattle colonies.

Ojochegbe1:
the point is he asked Weda the are igbo citizens in Kogi, I clarified by saying we bear igbo names in my locality. Who's doesn't know Kogi share boundaries with 10 states??

jamesibor:
Did I give them their names? Did I name a community as Umuoye in Kogi? What are you spewing?

Accept the fact that just like there are Igala people from Anambra, there are Igbo people from Kogi.

UTEWUOJO:
THE NAME IS SPELLED THE SAME WITH THAT OF THE IGBOS BUT WITH DIFFERENT INTONATION, WE THE IGALAS UNDERSTAND IT, THANK YOU.

jamesibor:
You chose to address the part you found offensive without situating it in the proper context. The 2nd part which you've chosen to dwell on is a follow up to the first part, implying that since you can change the names if your communities to Igbo names, you can also accept to change them to Fulani names.

jamesibor:
Yea, just like the Fulanis migrated from Futa Jallon in Guinea.

There are Igala citizens of Anambra and the ABS brodcasts news translation in Igala.

Go get your facts right unless you have ulterior motives.

blazhykowskyi:
Please stop with the conspiracies. It's the same way some people said Boko Haram were being used to destroy gej government. I don't believe people will kill and wipe out a whole village just for politics. Let's not politicise this.

GavelSlam:
The article was from December, 2017.

Different incidents

Reason why it is safe to say it is a communal war.

jamesibor:
And they decided to change the names of their communities to those of their migrants?

I'm now beginning to understand why the Fulanis will soon colonise Kogi and they'll willfully and happily change their town names to Fulfude.

jamesibor:
So the Igbos that migrated to Kogi centuries ago are stateless? What a load of crap.

How about the igalas in Anambra, are they Anambra citizens or not?

jamesibor:
Eke Avurugo - Igalamela/Odolu
Umuoye III, Ibaji
Mgbakwu - Igalamela/Odolu
Etc

Ojochegbe1:
in Kogi east especially IBAJI local government where I am from, we share boundary with Anambra and we also bear igbo names and we inter-marry too. I have 3 cousins that bear Chukwuma, Chukwudi and Uzodinma respectively.

jamesibor:
The Igbo in Kogi are citizens of which state?

GavelSlam:
I cannot at this point claim it never happened and I would be stupid to say otherwise now.

However, the facts are clear:

1. This is a communal war between Fulani and Bachama

2. The OP claimed scores were killed while Channels claims 3 - if that has no undertone to it then I guess you really are not seeking the truth.

3. Both sides have displayed such savagery that it would be wrong to do so.

I would use this point to explain why the news was to be doubted.

The Facebook page is obviously a spoof.

The friends of the owner of the Facebook page claimed they had already killed the Fulani men.

Posted below.


As I am not interested in a back and forth over this.

I would like ro state that many cases of such are actually untrue and if you dig deeper into those cases you would find no such record anywhere else but some Facebook page.

You are free to call me any name .

I do not swallow everything I've been told without questioning.

Odingo1:
No, they are indiginous to Kogi, many Igala people are Igbos. They migrated long time ago and occupy the place just like Okun people that migrated from Yoruba to Kogi.

AyakaDunukofia:
Ugwuebonyi, Ebokwe, Ozara, Amaeke, Amankpo, Amauwani camp, Amaokwu, Amadiefioha, Amaufulu, etc. all in Igalamela/Odolu LGA. The Odolu community in Igalamela/Odolu LGA is said to speak Igala as first language and the Nsukka Igbo dialect as second language. In Ibaji LGA, we can see some town names such as Nwajala, Umuoye, Ubulie-Umueze

jamesibor:
There are communities in Igalamela/Odolu LGAs that have Igbo as their first language.

I don't know about Egwu, I only reacted based on the name.

jamesibor:
There is an Igbo speaking part in Kogi and Benue just like there are Igala speaking communities in Anambra.

GavelSlam:
The expected Fulani reprisal on the Bachama indeed came and it has been even more bloody and deadly. Lawaru, Dong, Kikon, and Shaforon have been sacked and the body count could rise above 50, and include two Village Chiefs. The armed herdsmen attacked in broad daylight and literally mauled the common folk in their path. This is in reprisal for the earlier raiding of a Fulani camp in Kikon, that saw to the shocking killing of women and children, itself a reaction to the previous shooting dead of a farmer and his son, in an altercation with a herder. 


The catch word is reprisal.

I'm sure you deliberately skipped it .

jamesibor:
Egwu? Is he from the Igbo speaking part of logo?

I'm not asking you to believe the report.

I'm not asking you to even believe even me.

All I'm asking is that you read and question everything.

Urgently needed, resolution of the deadly Numan farmer/herder clashes | By Timawus Mathias |

I am writing today in shame. All my hopes and entreaties for patience, tolerance and reconciliation in my hometown Numan failed. Numan is where Bachama farmers and Fulani herders have clashed, leaving a deadly trail.

The expected Fulani reprisal on the Bachama indeed came and it has been even more bloody and deadly. Lawaru, Dong, Kikon, and Shaforon have been sacked and the body count could rise above 50, and include two Village Chiefs. The armed herdsmen attacked in broad daylight and literally mauled the common folk in their path. This is in reprisal for the earlier raiding of a Fulani camp in Kikon, that saw to the shocking killing of women and children, itself a reaction to the previous shooting dead of a farmer and his son, in an altercation with a herder.

For Numan itself, the cows had all left the grazing fields, hundreds of thousands of them. The rivers’ waters ran free, their lush valleys abandoned, herders had taken all their flocks up the dry mountains. Farmers in trepidation, farm and harvest implements abandoned for crude weapons of war and destruction, or self defence. Today, Numan stands on edge as rumours of war rent the air, emptied of most of its mixed ethnic inhabitants - the spectacle is hard to believe.....

In the abundance of land and water for cropping and grazing, drums of war are beating, and those without weapons are at the mercy of the armed. Folks waiting to be attacked and to defend themselves and their land. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/urgently-needed-resolution-of-the-deadly-numan-farmer-herder-clashes.html

Crooked Politicians will always create some vigilante group to forward their political goals.

In the history of Nigeria, we have had so many of such groups...

Today, the name of the reigning group is "Fulani herds men". They are not necessarily Fulani, and they are definitely not herdsmen (where is their herd).

The aim of these moves is to create distrust among Nigerians. This distrust and division has always existed but the aim is to deepen this distrust.

By doing this, people stop to reason rationally and votes will be based on these sentiments. Similar strategy that is being used by Donald Trump and his party... Only without the violence.

At the end of the day, the people suffer.

The reason why the "Fulani herdsmen" are invincible is because they are a well funded group of mercenaries. To know who is their sponsor, we only need to ask the big question... Who really benefits from all this violence in the next elections.

you see what I'm saying

Stop peddling ignorance.

You're entitled to 6 months notice BEFORE your rent expires. Once it has expired, you're entitled to only 7 days. Go and check Section 18(5) of the Lagos State Tenancy Law 2011 or similar legislation in your state.

If you like, sit tight in the property once the 7 days have lapsed, you'll pay Mesne profit for every extra day spent on the property in addition to your expenses for a lawyer to defend you.

sekxyqueen:
go and sit down...

always talking like a boy below 13

sekxyqueen:

and apparently, he knows you too..

Quit lying, Igbos are not known to have fought or even won any historical war.

The Jihadist did not cross River Benue, rather they ventured westward

aumeehn:
Boni Haruna is History! Bala Ngillari is a Theif that spent almost 100 days in Yola Prison!

sekxyqueen:
did he wish it upon you??

why not mind your business

VolvoS60:
Interesting.

When will Nigerians ever get to see declassified reports (however brief) by our own intel agencies on the goings on in other countries?

Or will the argument be made that such reports should not be seen by the general public for so-called "security reasons"?

This country keeps embassies (with defence/military attaches) and trade missions in several countries (friends and foes alike) and it maintains them at great cost. I presume there are also personnel who for years have been entrusted with the task of gathering intel on the goings on in these countries. Where are the results and reports from the intel gathered and how have they been used to advance this country's interests?

Where is the work done by the defunct NSO, the NIA, etc.? Or they exist just to increase our stock of 3 letter acronyms?
