One person kills someone in the west, another avenges and kills another in the south. One person kills another in the east, another avenges and kills another in the north. So what is the point of Nigeria? It is not like the unity of Nigeria has forstered love or progress amongst the indigenous people. So let everyone go back home, declare their own countries, administer themselves and stop giving each other headache. The contraption created by Lord Lugard and called Nigeria by his wife has turned out to be a faliure, let us all go our separate ways and call it a day. That Northerner who stabbed a young Igbo man in Aba would have never done that if Igboland was a separate country with an Igbo police force and Army. But the Northerner remembered "we are one Nigeria and my brothers dominate the armed forces, Police and Army so I will get away with it". The same goes for the Herdsmen. If the Herdsmen knew that Igboland was a separate country with its own Igbo Army, Igbo custom and Immigration, Igbo police and vigilante, not one of them will come to that Igbo country to cause trouble because there will be nobody to protect them. But they remember "My brother is president of Nigeria so nothing will happen!" Fellow Igbos, only our own independent nation will guarantee our safety. As long as we are in 'one Nigeria', the killings will never stop |

postmann:On the contrary bro, there's a saying "two wrongs doesn't make a right" and I'm sure you've heard this saying "an eye for an eye makes everyone end up blind" right?. We have the law to check this excesses. If the Hausa Fulani decided to show all and sundry how unrefined they are, then I believe the igbos should show everybody how refine they are. The inadequacy of the law and the institution enforcing it, is what give rise to such occurrence like this. I'm in no way supporting the rampaging travails of this set of people, but still, when provoked, one must look to the law to take its course, but when the law proves ineffective, then one can then be forced to act outside the law. |

joseph1832:So much to say on this but I'll just respond to the highlighted. The law has failed miserably. There is a language that is best understood by blood thirsty people. This language speaks clearer than law or round table talk. It is the language that says "my blood is just as precious as yours; if you take mine, I take yours". #ScrewCowardice |

joborskill:[size=13pt]I see that you are not qualified to talk about this thing because in 2000, there were reprisal attacks in Aba and Umuahia. I was there. It seems many people are not informed in Nigeria. I am anti-Biafra from south-south but who deceived you that when Fulani attack Igbo communities, they will not attack back? Back then in 2000 (or was it 2001) Aba and Umuahia residents killed any northerner they could see because of the killings of Igbos in riots in the north as a warning and to revenge. So who misguided you that this foolish thing perpetrated by the killers in Enugu would make them more welcoming or tolerant of you? Who informed you? Who ever informed you so, you have to hold him responsible for every northerner that an Igbo person will kill. I say will kill here because in my heart I may not want them to kill any more, but I know it is more likely that there will be more reprisal killings. And when you say the only solution is the grazing bill, you have just issued a licence for a few more thousand killings. That is the way the igbos feel. It also shows you probably are not Yoruba and chances are huge that you are a northerner. Read this post: https://www.nairaland.com/3075395/allegation-cattle-grazing-bill-proponents[/size]

postmann:Yes! But in this case, the blood that was taken, whose blood is it? Is it the blood of those who perpetrated this act? Or the blood of the innocent? I tell you bro, instances like this always give way to the lost of a lot of innocent lives, and you'll be surprised that those who are at the fore front of this act will go unscathed. That's why we have to be careful when taking the law into our hands, because the effects of such a thing will make innocent hearts weep for years unending.... |

joborskill:[size=13pt]I think the northerners are reviving it by this move (and they may just cause the SS and other entities to join in by their recent actions). I think many others don't mind breaking off of Nigeria as long as it is not necessarily to form the entity called Biafra because they do not respect it. Let some other group meet with Igbos and other stake holders to plant the seeds for a break off (which is not Biafra) and it will have better traction. Others just don't feel Igbos qualify to lead them or that Ojukwu's movement was inspired by anything noble that they should associate themselves with. So yes. Biafra may be dead and buried but the break away is currently relentlessly being revived by the north.[/size] |

Although I may have some reservation for the purported grazing bill, however that does not mean we should take laws into our hands> in the alternative, the Government can assist these herdmen with the provision of ranches in their domain for their farming. On the other hand, I strongly believe, these killinigs are not carried out by fulani herdmen. |

joseph1832: You don't seem to get it, do you? There're many ways to strike at the soul of a fleeing, out-of-reach cold blooded mass muderer. You take anything that is dear to him. And it has always worked. I dont want argue with you or subject myself to another merry go round aimless point trading. The Hausa-Fulani man understands and respect people who are quick to give them a taste of their own medicine. Pure and simple. Until every herdsman in this country get the chilling reality that his life will taken as quickly as he takes others, there will be no end to this madness and coldblooded killing of the innocent. I have never seen a people who begged for peace from an aggressor without living under the dictates of the aggressor. |
