Typical Igbo spirit.

un-BOW-able

We now have to cast off the psychological chains thrown around us by Nigeria and her foreign enablers, and hit the world stage with a bang, reminiscent of a nuclear explosion.

They are lucky ESN did not lead them to Christ

So all these gunmen came with just one gun and two knives.

DSS wuruwuru don start. I think innocent people have been killed, and the solitary gun and two knives were just a plant.

Please people with the resources should count those that are missing in Aba axis. A crime against humanity

Badorey5:
Lol IPOB analogy.

The army killed unknown gunmen and their bodies were provided.

The army only denied the ESN tag because they don’t want people to start screaming blue murder of them killing defenseless citizens.

It’s better to say unknown gunmen were killed like the army said than saying ESN.

Just like ESN never officially take responsibility for killing those policemen when unknown gunmen strike, the army too are not saying they kill ESN, rather they say they killed unknown gunmen.

God bless the Nigerian Army!

Liar

The army claimed the pictures were photoshopped.

IPOB is claiming that the army just round d up innocent Igbo artisans and executed.

Army is denying all the allegations profusely, as they don't want any violent and gory repercussions from ESN, IPOB or Ndigbo

Badorey5:
Liar!

Nigeria army only said they never killed ESN and they said they rather killed unknown gunmen that attacked them.

Go and read the report and come here to apologize to me for wasting my time!

Liar

They didn't say they killed unknown gunmen. They still are not sure what the situation of things is. Put simply no one got killed.

Although ABA residents that I spoke with confirmed that a number of military people were killed

Wike dey fear ESN no be small.

The nigga just urinated in his pants. The fear of ESN.

His atrocities in Obigbo are rattling the hell out of his soul.

So he prefers Fulani terrorists raping Eleme women, than ESN flushing Fulani terrorists out. That is the level of Wike's depravity. He is gradually revealing his priorities to Rivers people.

He may have made a huge mistake he will regret in Rivers state. He made no mention to the new Fulani COAS the need to also flush out Fulani terrorist herders from Eleme

Fahdiga:
Nigerian army are cowards that derives joy in killing innocent people. the blood of the innocent people killed will continue to hunt them

At this rate, to protest oneself, one will have to join the ESN, since they seem to be safer than the ordinary eastern citizen

QuotasSystem:
IPOB didn't calculate and prepare for collateral damage when they were deliberately looking for trouble?

The only way out is for them to expose and produce the IPOB/ESN terrorists among them to avoid becoming innocent scapegoats.

You must be joking.

This is one fight the Nigerian military can never win, and let me tell you why.

After about one week of the military being present in the eastern streets, ESN will be learning their moves, where they congregate, what sort of weapons they have in each checkpoint, and how many personnel the military and police have deployed to each area. With all these information, ESN can start to do major damage to the security forces in about two or three weeks time. It is so obvious, but the dullard in power can't see this. Buhari thinks the solution to every problem is the gun. He is about to learn some lessons, if care is not taken.

Buhari is no longer dealing with flag-waving unarmed youths. His military is about to feel the fury of once innocent people, he helped radicalize by killing and raping their brothers and sisters.

Monogamy:
Where are the ESPN?

In the bush, where they have always been

gidgiddy:
How a Yoruba man can sit down and concoct this garbage is beyond me.

ESN arrived at a market in the stadium and opened fire? Who in their right minds would go to a market, which is usually a crowded place, to open fire? How would ESN know who is Hausa?

These people canr even construct a good lie

Believe you me, most Yorubas will be embarrassed by this article.

It is solely the making of the Fulani-controlled DSS. They strategically chose a Yoruba person to publish it. They ensured not to pick a Fulani journalist to do the honours. That is the way they work

Fulani-controlled DSS doing its work yet again.

Let me point out certain fact ESN controllers need to pick up from this trash though.
1. These unknown gunmen are hitting the Nigerian security services where it hurts and they have NO SINGLE solution to this problem. The only solution will require them proverbially eating the humble pie.

2. The Fulani-controlled DSS now wants to trick Hausas into fighting the Fulani corner. Note how they made huge capital out of some unsubstantiated killings of Hausas, totally ignoring the fact reported by Orlu people, that soldiers and policemen went into Orlu town and started shooting towards civilians and setting fire to one market. Fulanis need Hausa backing in this very trying times for them, and Fulanis know neither ESN nor Igbos have any ill will towards the Hausas. In fact, Igbos in general see the Hausas as victims of Fulani terrorist manipulations that have lasted for several centuries. IPOB and ESN handlers have to keep reiterating this particular point, as it squarely places the cats in the midst of Fulani pigeons.

3. The Fulani-controlled DSS also made a half-hearted effort at getting the Yorubas involved, by pointing out one solitary Yoruba military man that was sent to God by the unknown gunmen. I suppose they figured Yorubas now see the light, so they didn't make a huge meal out of that. They only mentioned it in passing, just in case it is still powerful enough to ensnare weak-ass Yorubas lke Tinubu.

4. Take note at how they downplayed the ESN successes in terms of checking Fulani herdsmen terrorism. No mention of Mohammed Isa, who must have received God's judgement by now. No mention about the heavy reduction on Fulani terrorist activities in the SE since ESN came on board.

5. They now also plan on turning Igbos against ESN by mentioning unsubstantiated armed robbery activities, that has been ravaging the whole of Nigeria, way before ESN showed up. Now the Fulani-controlled DSS now wants to hang it on the ESN neck. This is simply too cheap and Igbos have never been gullible animals. They didn't by into the whole Buhari CHANGE mantra in 2015, they certainly won't be buying into the new ESN armed-robbery tag.

6. Look at how this article also played down the whole extra-judicial killings of flag-waving and unarmed Igbo Youths that had gone on, the latest of which happened in Obigbo in late 2020. The article only admitted these extra-judicial killings to have lasted from 2015 to 2016. They made no mention of the 10s of Obigbo ladies that were kidnapped in the aftermath of the ENDSARS protests, and were being raped by Fulani soldiers, the torturing of flag-waving IPOB supporters who were kidnapped from Obigbo and all other atrocities. They downplayed all these, all in an attempt to suggest that the existence of ESN was as a result of a demagogue taking advantage loopholes created by the incompetence and nepotism of the current administration in the running of affairs of Nigeria. That is merely half of the story, the rest lies squarely with how the Buhari administration has shown total lack of respect for the lives and dignity of SEners, and has allowed his minions to torture, kill and rape unarmed Igbo civilians, just to keep Igbos in perpetual psychological trauma.

SH!T don't work that way.

flokii:
Someone should tell Ezenwo that PDP can't win in 2023 whether Northerner or Igbo or GEJ.
The seat is for South West under APC. Anyone who doesn't like it can use the lagoon as exit.

The last Yoruba oba to make such a statement, his staff of office is still on eBay, and people are bidding for it

I suspect Nnamdi Kanu decided to embark on this adventure, mainly to take a poke at Wike for his sins at Obigbo.

But this is not good enough a reason to get into Eleme. Solid tact has to be applied. What happens if the usual DSS-sponsored groups within Eleme start to cry out that Igbos are invading their territory?

I'm almost certain that Eleme elders and women must have contacted the IPOB or ESN hierarchy to mouth off their concerns regarding Fulani terrorist herdsmen, but much of these contacts happened in secret and clandestinely , leaving much of the people in the dark as to what is the true situation of things. But I can assure you that the backlash orchestrated by the Fulani terrorist government will be in the open, as they will cajole and bribe compromised Eleme elders and groups to castigate IPOB, ESN and Igbo people publicly for attempting to annex Eleme/Ogoni land.

This alone is good enough reason for ESN and IPOB to hesitate, rather than jumping into a hole, the depth of which, remains unknown as I write.

While I am not out-rightly against the deployment of ESN resources to places that need help, it has to be done in a way that doesn't leave ESN, IPOB or Igbo people vulnerable to any form of attack, be it verbal, psychological or physical. I am also for any move that undermines that idiotic governor of Rivers state

freshvine:
You think Eleme is not Igboid?

Eleme people are not Igboids. They are just neighbours to Ndigbo.

The larger Ogoni group claim Eleme people are Ogonis. Eleme people themselves claim to be distinct from the Ogonis. They prefer to be seen as Eleme people.
It is entirely between Ogoni people in general, and Eleme people in particular, to determine who the Eleme people are.

Graysons:
Wike if this mad man carry his foolishness enter Rivers state deal with him and his terrorist organisation very ruthlessly. You have my support.

Wike that is already peeing his pants

PROUDIGBO:
When was the airport christened Chief Willie Obiano int’l airport? I hope he doesn’t name it after himself...that would be immodest of him!

The routes you mentioned are good, but it all depends on Abuja approving them and allowing willing international airlines to serve the airport. I know why i’m cautious in this regard....this is Nigeria with its caustic envy, badbelle and ‘Ndigbo should be held down’ attitude!

Your cautionary stance is well justified.

Additionally is that for this airport to truly achieve its true potentials, important foreign missions such as USA, China, UK etc should establish visa-issuing Consular offices in Anambra state, otherwise Anambra businessmen will still be condemned to obtaining their visas from Lagos and Abuja, which will result in those business men opting to use Lagos and Abuja airports, thereby drastically reducing the traffic at the Umuleri airport.

As this airport is being constructed, the state government should concurrently work passionately towards establishing such links with important foreign missions.

That's why I have always rated Tony Nnadi far above any freedom fighter. He knows how to come up with very clear road maps.

I will advice the IPOB groups to partner with this movement. Any of the IPOB groups that chooses to partner with NINAS has a greater chance of eventually being seen as the true IPOB organisation.

Kebbiprince:
Umahi and his region won't be liked again by majority of we fulanis by refusing a regional security network which is supposed to work with the police. What this means is that they're tactically supporting the ESN because that's the only meaning. They're saying ESN should keep on massacring we fulanis and they will pay politically for it

BORING!!!!

The east doesn't need any new east-wide security network. ESN is already plugging the gap. The east doesn't need a security outfit that is subservient to the Nigerian police or the compromised governors

Tolexander:
Did you enter any bush to see how Wakili was dealt with?
Did you leave the comfort of your home to view the video?

So prove to us that ESN killed any Fulani Bandit or gerrarahia

Get into the eastern bushes and I guarantee you will converse with Mohammed Isa shortly afterwards.

ESN has nothing to prove to you. ESN doesn't have to show any picture proofs. ESN doesn't have to liaise with the Nigerian police and ESN doesn't have to provide any corpse to anybody.
ESN must not fall into the mind games traps of DSS and Miyetti Allah

Aonkuuse:
��� these guys are clowns. Igbos and Benue people are living in a good relationship here. IPOD no come start trouble for Igbo people living here. Because if una start it won't end well na beg I dey beg una

This has the hallmark of Orton written all over it.

This seems more like a convenient pretext to bring in ESN into Benue state. It's quite clear they will move from Igbo area to Idoma areas, and definitely from there to Tiv areas

Billyonaire666:
All these noise come from mindset of fear. If you are searching for herdsmen, you would be quiet and tactical. But if you want them to be taken unawares you will probably be quiet.

But it seems to me this parade is noisy because they chanters are scared and want the fulani on hearing them to take off. Thereby ensuring the chanters go home to a meal of Amala and Ewedu.

On a lighter note, this gathering is similar to IPOB, so what do we call this, Indigenous People of Oduduwa IPOO?

IPOO but not I poo.

IPOO Or Indigenous Peoples of Oduduwa Republic. I-POOR

On a more serious note, I wish them the very best. It is so clear the federal government is involved in the herdsmen intimidation of the SW

Monogamy:
Yes, the one that one refugee is afraid of hence can't come to Nigeria anytime soon. ..

MNK banished Buhari from eastern forests also. That's why Buhari will not dare show face in any forest in Igboland

Monogamy:
The Commander in Chief of the Nigeria arm forces.

The president lording over all the land belonging to Nigeria including SE.

Btw, who is that MNK?

MNK is the one lording it over Buhari, in the east.

One of MNK's orders requires me to remind you that it is
34 days to go

AdakaBoro8:
guy are u sure u ok? bony and opubo are ijaw words, and the people are ijaws.. stop wasting ur precious time arguing with your keybords bcux it will never change anything.. no inch of ijaw land will never be ceded away.

What does UBANI mean in Ijaw?

Also what does a much later coinage, IBANI mean in Ijaw?

Jerryherd:




So herdsmen have taken over Ibo land yet Na Tilumbu matter be their concern

Well no be me talk am, Na Obi of Onistcha and other Ibo king talk am


.

First of all, Tinubu brought in the current Fulani terrorists.

Secondly, those Igwes were only justifying why reining in the ESN was not necessary. Why would they castigate ESN when Tinubu-empowered Fulani terrorists are around.
Thankfully ESN is giving them a fright of their lives. That's partly why there are no Igbos running to Cameroon as refugees

Owajigarrisson:
Sir I know Bonny very well,Bonny just like most Eastern Ijaw communities adopted the Igbo language due to trade, however Bonny is Ijaw. If you tell me that Opobo people are Igbos,it would sound more reasonable, owing to the fact that the founder of Opobo was Igbo and that some of the slaves captured by the Aros from the Igbo hinterland who escaped settled there.
It is not everywhere you'll lay claim to, the Ijaws in Ondo State speak Yoruba due to trade and acculturation from their neighbors, does that then make them Yorubas??
Bonny is not Igbo!

A lot of Okrika people speak Igbo, but Igbos have never claimed them.

With regards to Bonny, even the name of the town is Igbo, UBANI, The richness of land. The ruling families are of Igbo descent, according to observations noted down by a neutral British slave trader around 1790.
The mass of the people are also of Igbo ancestry according to this same neutral British man around 1790.
The original founders of Bonny were Igbo according to this same source.

With all the above facts, I have no option but to acknowledge the Ndoki Igbo ownership of UBANI (BONNY)

favor914:
I have never heard Jonathan, any Ijaw person, or Reno Omokri Speak Igbo before, are you sure you know what you are talking about?

Jonathan and Omokri are not from Bonny.

Ijaws speak Ijaw. Igbos speak Igbo.

Most times, Ijaws that speak Igbo, also speak Ijaw as their first language.

Most Bonny people speak Igbo and don't speak IBANI. That is because they are Igbos.

There is now an attempt to force Bonny people to now learn Ibani

theFilmtric:
you've been saying this since yesterday
You don't have a signature
Or don't you know what a signature is??

theFilmtricsay

Ok go and view the picture attached to my profile. Hope this rocks your boat.
The snippet comes from the first book ever written about Bonny. The book was published in 1830, but the observations that make up the book was derived starting from 1790 to around 1800. A clear 40 years before that book.

The book mentioned of Ijaw immigrants from Brass. This was obviously before the word IBANI was coined, and adopted by these immigrants from Brass.

Igbos own Ubani and it's royal lineage

Owajigarrisson:
Bonny's first language is Ijaw not Igbo,Igbo is their second language that was acquired through trade with the Isomas

Please read my signature, and get the accurate information as to the ethnic composition of Bonny.

Even a few years ago, Ijaws started making frantic efforts to teach the IBANI language to Bonny people, claiming that IBANI was almost dead in Bonny, as everyone spoke Igbo
