KKK boss...OPCNazi pastor cheesy

preach to your self first...

See beating..

"They come like locusts, chanting war songs [...] They were beating any person who didn't speak Yoruba, using knives, arrows, local instruments, locally-made guns, and juju [charms]. This time they caught all of us. They let go those who could speak Yoruba. I could not speak Yoruba. They flogged me with canes. I was pleading with them. Some were asking me for money. Some said the Igbos had beaten one of theirs into a coma and they wanted revenge."

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.

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
I support you sir.

The few Igbo friends I have are outside the region. It's their family and some of my friends schooling there that I pity.

The best anyone can do is to avoid that region
