What is happening in SE not what anyone should be proud of...but it did not start today...and can be resolved politically.

Infact, SE largely used to be the most peaceful region in the country...

This all started from 2015, emboldened by Operation python dance.

I remember people warned that this would escalate if not properly handled...and now it has.

So now it is going to head..and the best solution would have been for the FG to engage the leaders of the region and seek a political solution to end the impasse...

However, I have seen ground swell of people particularly from SW all over the place, demonising the people and leaders, calling them cowards... as if nothing like that has happen in the country before..

When the Yorubas pervasive they were oppressed after 1999 election, they formed OPC, alias Oduduwa Liberation Front to do the the same thing the group in the east are doing, now.

The atrocities of OPC was worse than anything going on in SE..

See...

1. In mid July 1999, there was a major clash between Hausa and Yoruba in Sagamu, Ogun State. Scores of people were killed. The violence began following an argument over customs observed during the Oro festival, an annual Yoruba event which had not been disrupted by any disputes either before or since 1999. Yoruba and Hausa had agreed to respect a traditional night-time curfew usually observed during the festival. However, according to local residents, a fight erupted between the Yoruba and the Hausa after a Hausa woman was killed by a group of Yoruba because she had broken the curfew. The fighting escalated and the OPC intervened to support the Yoruba. Both sides were armed. At least sixty-eight Hausa were killed, including three boys between the ages of ten and fifteen; some were killed with guns, but the majority were killed with cutlasses. A number of Yoruba were also killed, including one of the Oro leaders. Some people were burnt inside their houses


2. By the time the violence reached its peak in the second half of 2000, hundreds of people had been killed, many by the OPC, others by other groups. Some of the most serious incidents are described below. A journalist commented: "Around 2000 was the worst period of OPC violence [...] The police were incapable of controlling it. The OPC could shut down a whole street [...] Every other week there were clashes


3. A Hausa man in Sagamu told Human Rights Watch that after the violence, "the local government gave us forms to fill in for compensation, but nothing happened. Even the Seriki's [Hausa leader] house was burnt. The president, who came here on the Monday, promised there would be compensation, but there wasn't. There was an investigation but nobody was arrested. The governor of Ogun promised to rebuild the Seriki's house, but didn't.

4. On November 25 and 26, 1999, scores of people were killed when the OPC clashed with traders in Ketu / Mile 12 market in Lagos. The exact number of victims has not been confirmed, but is estimated to be more than one hundred. A senior police official who was at the scene said he saw an estimated two hundred bodies, but that others had already been buried in mass graves.

5. There have been several other incidents in which OPC members attacked people on the basis of their ethnicity, particularly Hausas, other northerners, and people suspected of being sympathetic to the Hausas. A Hausa trader in Lagos told Human Rights Watch how, during violent clashes at the Agege abattoir on the outskirts of Lagos, in late 2000, the OPC had targeted anyone suspected of being a Hausa: "They killed Alhaji Zubairu, a father of three from Kogi State. They asked him where he was from. He said Kogi. They said he was a Hausa man, and killed him. Actually he was a northerner, but not a Hausa.

6. One of the more recent incidents of ethnic violence involving the OPC took place in Idi-Araba and surrounding areas in Mushin, Lagos, on February 2 to 4, 2002. Clashes between Hausa and Yoruba claimed more than seventy lives. Human Rights Watch spoke to many residents of the area and eye-witnesses of the violence, including members of the Hausa and Yoruba communities, and people from other ethnic groups who found themselves trapped by the violence.


There are many more...atrocities by the Yorubas on non indigenes...back then and till today as well.

At this point the SW leaders could not reign in their youths.. for more than 3 years...as the killings, burning, macheting lasted.

Always playing victim mentality.

That's want most of you rely on when you are made dumb with facts...not your fiction with flowcharts and graphs...

It's obvious you've accepted that IPOB are terrorists and I know you're gradually realizing that by your constant projection of their atrocities on others.

It's your ego at work here. I see "projection" as one of your tribe ego defense mechanisms. If you're not rationalizing nonsense, you will deny it and blame others, sometimes you fantasize absolute bunkum, or come up with a cock-and-bull story all in a bid to justify whatever atrocities your IPOB terrorists are committing.

You wish to make yourself better by wishing the guilt, conflict, shame, anger, low tribe-esteem(if there's any like that) and inferiority complex of your tribe on other tribes.

You just want to tarnish others image in order to massage your ego that is being shattered by the reality of your IPOB terrorists. Continue to expose yourself.

On Saturday night, at about 11 or 11.30 p.m., we were trying to escape with our family. Someone told me my junior brother had been shot by the OPC. There were eye-witnesses there. They told me the OPC came and shot him in the leg as he was trying to run. He was shot along Ajegunle Street, no.6. I rushed there and brought him to the Hausa leader and called the doctor. But he died before the doctor could come. He died at about midnight.

Another very close friend, Kabiru Inusa, aged twenty-eight, was also killed by OPC. He was shot right in front of me, at about 2.30 a.m. on Saturday night, in the street. When they started shooting, we tried to duck. They shot him in the chest. He fell on the road. I called people to pick him up. He died on the way to the hospital.

An older man, Alhaji Adamu Gwara, was killed and burned. They shot him first, then they burned him and his two storey house. By the time we arrived, he was already burnt to ashes. This was at about 1.30 on Sunday night. (HRW report)

Demonic OPC....

More of the "peaceful and angelic" OPC carnage...

Plaindealer come and see you angels...

The OPC killed Hausa for two days in that place. There were corpses littered all around. I saw more than thirty-six dead. There must be more as I didn't walk all the way. The victims included men, women, and the people who help the beggars.

After two days, the state government mobilized the police, the navy and the army. They arrested people. The military threw a grenade into a lorry-load of OPC people advancing. All the OPC members inside died. The lorry was burnt at Okokomaiko, about three miles away. That was the final blow, so they stopped.

Hausas were not the only targets of the OPC....

---------------------------

No one is supporting what is happening in the east, but the Yorubas should be retrospective......

Your assertion does not corroborate, southwest elders tame the power of OPC, and don't forget the current president was the one that arrested and hand-over their leaders to the federal government then.

Pack up your things and go back to your region then

"During 1999 and 2000, the OPC became notorious for its brutal treatment of alleged criminals. There were frequent reports of OPC members apprehending people they suspected of being robbers, beating them, killing them and burning or mutilating them in public.'''

These are angel as per Plaindealer and Durujaiye

They have all disappeared, you will never see Omeka, Helinues, TTalk here, they are keeping vigil on next video where girls are flogged in SE

By the way, are you not ashamed of this your ethnic bigotry? You have become a laughing stock. Obi is doing it. Oby is doing it. Charly boy is doing. When will you be objective?

These OPC guys were next to devil those days...

"I saw the killing of a man by OPC members. Everybody knew this man in this area as a "419 man" [involved in fraud and extortion]. The killing took place around the Idimu motor park. It was a Saturday morning. I saw his body on fire. There were OPC members milling around his body. A crowd gathered and was watching the spectacle. I saw about twelve OPC members at the scene. They had tied red ribbons on their head. Some of them had guns and matchets on them. They were also wearing charms. [...] The police did not intervene despite the fact that a police post was not far off."

One plain dealer who was not born by 2001...have no idea with this group did.

No it is not...but you guys are seeing it as the worse thing that has happened in Nigeria...without going solution on how to resolve it...

Yoruba militia OPC are worse than Nazis in the 3 year they terrorised the country, especially Lagos...

"Two Igbo men in their thirties, Silas Onyebuchi Ihenacho and Kingsley Izuchukwu Anaso, were shot dead on October 9, 2000, in Isolo, Lagos, by OPC members who accused them of being armed robbers. According to an investigation by the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), residents of Ire-Akari Estate, in Isolo, including the two victims who were staying there, heard gunfire and came out to find out what was happening. They were told that there had been a clash between the OPC and armed robbers. Silas Onyebuchi Ihenacho and Kingsley Izuchukwu then ran into a group of OPC members, who were wearing red bands on their arms and forehead, who accused them of being armed robbers. Despite interventions by local residents who confirmed they were not criminals, the OPC members shot and stabbed the two men, then took their bodies to other locations where they set them ablaze" : HRW reports...

No need. I agreed that ESN and UGM hasn't killed enough in the SE according to you. Please enjoy the show. When you guys are okay, you won't need anyone to further give you counsel on how to get yourself from the ESN
