If i remember correctly , the first reaction to the Lagoon threat was you and your people calling on ICC and human rights watch for wishing harm on Yeebows Eventually who won ? AMBODE , the prefered candidate of the King, Looks like you and your people are scared of the lagoon ,cos you voted massively for AMbo Finally , We are not neanderthals , we are matured and civil, we don't just attack , we always root for a chance for peaceful resolution hence the warning , if the attack starts, i am sure you'll create a thread to cry about how Yeeebows are being killed how yorubas are wicked and how it was an horrible experience , Just stating the obvious AgentOrange: |

We all know that the NDA are not fighting because of Biafra they are just using that as a front. They are fighting because south west didn't support their dumb brother during the last election, now they've brought the fight to south west door step. They are fighting because they are no more allowed to run their illegal refinery, they are fighting because there is no more oil theft, can't believe the figures lost under GEJ as oil theft. They are fighting because there is no more business as usual. |

proeast:They are giving them ultimatum so you don't cry GENOCIDE when poo hits the ceiling.Go and read about Herero and German:Genocide. You would learn one or two things there.Niger Delta militants or whatever they call themselves are too small to be attacked without given the sensible ones among them why they could face extinction from the lethal attack that might even take Yorubas going into the creeks to eliminate and obliterate them.A word is enough for the wise. You know a people by reading about their history: YORUBAS ARE CONSIDERATE WARRIORS WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY AND HAD WON THEIR WARS. A few ignorant Igbos and Niger Deltans...not all... who see the liberal and live and let live nature of the SW(Yorubas) as something of cowardice or docility should for their own sake go and read and know about their(IGBOS) history and compare with that of the robust history of the Great Yoruba race...GREAT because they built empire like Great Britain,Great Roman empire etc and great because they were never Unclad or half clad like barbarians in their lives... The fact is Yorubas have been warriors from time immemorial while the Igbos had been the opposites from time immemorial... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_Empire#Early_period_.281300s.E2.80.931535.29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Nri#Zenith_and_fall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people These are also some of the lethal blow of the considerate warriors.... AS MUCH AS YORUBAS DO NOT LIKE WARS OR BLOODSHED,THEY BECOME THE WARRIORS THEIR DNAs ARE ENCOMPASSED WITH AS SOON AS IT WARRANTS FOR WAR... BLACK SCORPION OVERDID IT IN HERE: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1984/SMR.htm The new division took on the special qualities of its GOC. Colonel Adekunle, Age 29, was diminuative and aggressive, known to be more daring than the other division commanders. A staunch disciplinarian, Adekunle carried a golf club shaft or bat which he used to prod soldiers under fire. Colonel Adekunle apparently was able to get away with this because of the universally accepted belief that he was fearless. He was noted for personally leading his brigades into battle.Adekunle was dynamic and innovative in his plans and operations... The Biafran attack was led by Lt. Col. Banjo...A BORN WARRIOR but always considerate. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Nigerian_Civil_War READ THESE: READ A LITTLE OF THE WAR INGENUITY OF THE GREAT YORUBA NATIONS: Yorubas because of their war capabilities AND BRAVERY expanded up to TOGO and GHANA AND DAHOMEY while your people were covering their blockoss with their bare hands grin The EWE people have not always lived in their present home. Their traditions recall a migration from the east - more precisely KETU a YORUBA town in modern BENIN. KETU is also called AMEDZOFE or MAWUFE in the accounts. KETU was founded by the YORUBA people by the fourteenth century at the latest. In it lived besides the forebears of the EWE, the YORUBA and the ancestors of the AJA, FON, and GA-DANGME. It was the expansion of the YORUBA people that pushed the EWE and related peoples westward. The migrants went to live at TADO in present-day TOGO from where they later dispersed in various directions. http://ceanaonline.org/Ewe_History.htm Yorubas are not savages and we do not like spilling blood without a very tangible cause but when it comes to measuring up to us,then the warrior in us comes out. The fighting continued all through Wednesday till Thursday (today) when some thugs, believed to be of Yoruba origin, invaded the market and started attacking the Hausas. They burnt seven cars and killed three Hausa traders. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni; the Commander of the Rapid Response Squad, Olatunji Disu; the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operation, Lagos State Police Command; and teams of policemen were still at the scene as at the time of filing the report. - Online Reporter https://www.nairaland.com/2969382/yoruba-hausa-fight-mile-12 In what was suspected to be a reprisal attack, a Fulani herdsman identified as Dan Bako was Wednesday killed in Ilara-Mokin in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State. This is coming barely a week after an Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) member, Mr Ayodele Ige was killed in the farm of Chief Olu Falae in Ilado in Akure Local Government Area of the state. The head of the Fulani herdsmen in the state, Alhaji Alli Dongo and Babangida Sodiq Kusada, the Chairman of Hausa community in Akure kingdom and the head of Arewa community in the state, said Dongo was declared missing after all efforts to trace him prove abortive. Briefing reporters in the Officers’ Mess of the Nigerian Police Force in Akure, the state capital, Dongo and Kusada said their kinsman had been living in Ilara-Mokin for the past seven years and was preparing to relocate to his state when the incident happened. https://www.today.ng/news/national/106008/fulani-herdsman-killed-ondo# NO fewer than eleven herdsmen have been killed in the last six weeks in some parts of Oke Ogun area of Oyo State. The towns where the killings allegedly took place, according to the Fulani ethnic community in the state, are Otu, Ikomu, Igbo-Ora, Iwere-Ile, Iganna, Ilaju and Ado-Awaye. In a petition by the leaders of Jamu Nati Fulbe Association of Nigeria, Oyo State Chapter, Alhaji Salihu Kadiri and Mallam Muhammed Salihu Kisi, National Chairman and General Secretary ,respectively, the herdsmen called on Governor Abiola Ajimobi to do something urgently to prevent further loss of lives in the areas. Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/11-herdsmen-killed-in-oyo/ The meeting was called to order after Lam walked into the Executive Chambers. Introductions over, Buhari spoke on their mission to the governor’s office. Emitting fire, the general accused Lam and the government of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of over 68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and perversion of justice. His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is to discuss with you and your government our displeasure about the incident of clashes between two peoples… the Fulani cattle rearers and merchants are today being harassed , attacked and killed like in Saki. In the month of May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani cattle rearers were recovered and buried under the supervision and protection from a team of Mobile Police from Oyo State Command. “ That some arrests were made by Oyo State Police Command in the massacre with their immediate release without court trial. This was said to have been ordered by Oyo State authorities and they were so released to their amazement. The release of the arrested suspects gave the clear impression that the authorities are backing and protecting them to continue the unjust and illegal killings of Fulani cattle rearers…” According to the general, they therefore wanted immediate stoppage of the killings, justice and compensation to the Fulanis. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/11/day-lam-adesina-clashed-with-buhari-marwa-others/ THESE ARE JUST A FEW.. |

The locals who now live in dread of sudden attack by the herdsmen accuse the herdsmen of illegally occupying part of the land donated to the army as grazing field for their cattle. The agitated members of the communities sought to know if part of the large expanse of land donated to the army had been converted to grazing field by the herdsmen whereas the army authorities forbid the locals from farming on same land. Lamenting the grievances of the people on the floor of the Abia State House of Assembly, member representing Ohafia South constituency Chief Uchendu Ifeanyi, called for investigation into the matter. He said that the development posed serious threat to his constituents who now live in fear of imminent attack by herdsmen. http://www.thebreakingtimes.com/fulani-herdsmen-hoist-flag-in-abia/ |

Ritchiee:Notice the bold part, they lunched their flag within land controlled by the federal Nigerian army unlike yerobas where they have taken ilorin and installed their emir till tomorrow, lolz. And we will retain Abuja as the capital of that truncated Nigeria much to our displeasure. We also have two other cities which could serve as capital of Nigeria. Kano is as good as a capital anywhere in Africa. Kaduna will be good a capital too. Don’t forget, Kaduna was the capital of Northern Nigeria. So going back to Kaduna will be the natural thing for us to do. So what is all the farce? What have we gained from being a part of Nigeria? Tell me! I don’t know what I gained for instance. Look at the revenue allocation formula and tell me how this revenue allocation formula can ever allow peace and stability in any country, not just in Nigeria, which already they say is an artificial creation. And let me tell you that in the event of the breakup of this country, Ilorin and Offa will remain 100 % Northern Nigeria and not one each of land will be ceded to them. https://www.nairaland.com/885595/taking-illorin-offa-us-north |

Menace of Fulani herdsmen: Tales of woes from the East. By Chidi Nkwopara, Anayo Okoli, Francis Igata & Peter Okutu. Incidents of killing, robbery, rape, maiming and kidnapping by the cattle herdsmen have inflicted pains on most farmers, even as farm produce have been drastically affected. Farmers, leaving in fear, have scampered to safety in desperate bids to avoid being hacked down by the rampaging herdsmen. Fulani-herdsman Fulani-herdsman CATTLE rearing and cattle rearers have over the years contributed their own quota to the economy of the South-East and the country at large. The place of Fulani herdsmen is inevitably important as they have sustained the production and sales of meat in markets across the country. However, despite their diverse importance, the recent activities of Fulani cattle rearers in the South-East obviously threaten the life and existence of those living within their areas of grazing, especially in the rural areas. It is not in doubt that there is hardly any community in the South-East geo-political zone where you will not find Fulani herdsmen. What is however most disturbing to farmers and land owners is the way they forcefully colonize, kill, maim and allow their cattle to destroy farm crops wherever they set their feet. They have sadly transformed themselves into law. The stories trailing the rampage of Fulani herdsmen and their cattle in the South-East are therefore as ugly as they are most discomforting. The activities of these herdsmen in some communities in Abia State, for example, have become a source of great worry to the people. This is because of the huge damage the cattle inflict on crops and farmlands in these rural communities which the breeders illegally and brazenly colonize as grazing grounds. That the herdsmen dare them for a showdown when challenged is most provocative to victims of this menace! File: Eze attacked along Enugu-Makurdi Expressway recently by Fulani herdsmen File: Eze attacked along Enugu-Makurdi Expressway recently by Fulani herdsmen Saturday Vanguard investigations revealed that, besides the damage on crops and other farm produce, the aggressive nature of the Fulani cattle guards is more of concern to any community they invade. They are always armed to the teeth with dangerous weapons, including AK47, charms and deadly sharp daggers and machetes and are often ready to attack the farm owners at the least confrontation. Tales of woes There have been reports of clashes between the herdsmen and farmers across the region. For instance, in Abia communities of Uzuakoli in Bende Local Government Area, Ebem and Akanu in Ohafia and Umuchieze in Umunneochi, there have been cases of deadly clashes between rural farmers and these cattle breeders. In Uzuakoli, a man popularly known in the area as Ajambele sometime in the past received a deadly attack when he met cattle destroying his farm in the Over Rail area of the community and confronted the Fulani cattle herdsmen who had invaded the farmland with the cattle. The herdsmen were said to have used sharp dagger to rip open Ajambele’s stomach, forcing the intestines to gush out. He was said to have been rushed to a hospital and was lucky to have survived. Cases of invasion of farmlands in Ebem and Akanu communities nearly resulted in bloodbath but the wisdom of the leaders in the community who timely reported to the authorities saved bloody clashes. Some of the cases were so serious that Abia State Government had to intervene, preventing the youths of the communities from retaliating. It set up a peace committee that quelled the then imminent doom. The story is not different in Enugu State. Saturday Vanguard investigation revealed that attacks unleashed by Fulani herdsmen are a recurring decimal in the state. Of the 482 communities in Enugu State, one cannot boost of one community that has not had its fair share of Fulani herdsmen’s barbaric activities which leave in their wake,perennial tears of sorrow. Indigenes of Ezeagu tell stories of not only destruction of their farms but also rape of their women in their farms. Over 70 percent of the people in the state who are domiciled in rural areas, engage in subsistent or commercial agricultural activities as their mainstay. But the recent increasing threat posed by Fulani herdsmen is rocking the fabric of their fundamental existence. Incidents of killing, robbery, rape, maiming and kidnapping by the cattle herdsmen have inflicted pains on most farmers, even as farm produce have been drastically affected. Farmers, leaving in fear, have scampered to safety in desperate bids to avoid being hacked down by the rampaging herdsmen. Last March, suspected Fulani herdsmen allegedly killed Tamgbo Ogueji, a member of the traditional rulers’ cabinet at Eke Community in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State. The deceased, aged 85, was shot in his house in the early hours over an undisclosed issue with the herdsmen. President-General, Eke Town Union, Mr. Anthony Enu, told Saturday Vanguard that the community was irked and the youths restive. He said: “Last year, the same Fulani herdsmen killed two of our brothers, Matthew Aniugo and Chiagha Chigbo, in their farms. The town is boiling with anger now. We have reported the matter to the Police. We are calling on all relevant authorities to prevail on these Fulani herdsmen to ensure justice for our people.” The sleepy town of Nkpologu Community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State was, last January, thrown into mourning following news of the death of a young woman on New Year eve, during a Fulani herdsmen’s robbery attack on a commuter bus. *Umar...on the hospital bed after the attack by Fulani herdsmen *Umar…on the hospital bed after the attack by Fulani herdsmen The deceased, Veronica Ezugwu, 20, from Agum Village, Nkpologu Community was pronounced dead at Annunciation Hospital, Emene, Enugu. She had sustained several gunshot injuries during the robbery attack on the commuter bus conveying the victim and three other passengers home for Christmas on December 24, 2014. The incident occurred at Camp Bus Stop, Nkpologu Community at 12.54pm. According to an eyewitness, three Fulani herdsmen, armed with short pump action double-barrelled guns, sprang from the bush and started shooting at the bus. The bus driver escaped into the bush with gunshot wounds, while the two other passengers sustained minor injuries. According to the eyewitness, “Veronica was hit on the head and eyes and her brain tissues severed.” Contacted, the cousin to the deceased, Chinedu Ezugwu, said: “She was rushed immediately to University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, UNTH, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu. But we could not get medical attention following the industrial action embarked upon by health workers. “We then took her to Annunciation Hospital on December 25. She was operated on and the bullets removed. Eventually she died on New Year eve. We are yet to come to terms with the sad development. She was coming home for Christmas and had got to the bus stop to her village. I do not think we will ever recover from this”, Mr. Ezugwu lamented. In Ebonyi State, people are usually uncomfortable with the activities of Fulani herdsmen simply because of their tendency to become violent at the slightest provocation. And due to their level of education, exposure and background, many people in the state tend to avoid them but only react to their misdemeanors whenever situations get out of control. However, the complaints of those in Ebonyi border mainly on the ease with which the cattle rearers go into both private and public farms without permission to allow their cattle to graze in the area. Farmers and villagers in Imo State also have gory tales to tell. Emotions ran high and tension was electric recently as scores of angry youths of Irete Community in the state, blocked the ever busy Owerri-Onitsha dual carriageway to protest the damnable activities of Fulani herdsmen in their community. Obviously, the Hausa-Fulani herdsmen were at it again in the community, harassing the people who tried to resist efforts to turn their cassava, yam and vegetables farms into grazing fields for cattle. Some affected villagers told Saturday Vanguard that they now feel helpless and defenceless in their own communities, especially as the Federal and State Governments appear not ready to come to their assistance. Presently, most farmers are now scared to go to their farms, while it is also true that they are afraid to move about in the night! Many South-East socio-political leaders perceive the menace of these Fulani herdsmen as a threat to every Nigerian as their activities are nationwide. Following the recent abduction of Chief Olu Falae, a group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Stakeholders called on President Muhammadu Buhari to “cage the Fulani herdsmen now.” The group, in a statement signed by its Chairman, Mr. Chukwudi Ibegbo said: “The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Stakeholders’ Forum was alarmed by the recent abduction of a Nigerian statesman and Yoruba leader, Chief Olu Falae, by Fulani herdsmen. This abduction, one too many, could have led to a national chaos if he was not released later by the marauders. “Nigeria and her government should no longer keep quiet in the face of this Fulani terror in the Middle Belt and South of the country. The open grazing acts of Fulani herdsmen are now outdated and should be phased out in Nigeria. We warn of future consequences of unchecked Fulani herdsmen attacks on innocent Nigerians. ” Panacea Perturbed by the herdsmen’s activities, the immediate past Enugu State House of Assembly led by Eugene Odoh, began public hearing on a bill to make provisions for the control of nomadic cattle rearing in the state, and which passed second reading. Represented by the Leader of the House, Mr. Udo-Okoye of Awgu-North Constituency, the Speaker said: “Yes, it’s true that our women, both young and old, have been raped, maimed in their farmlands by cattle rearers in the state. These cattle rearers send their cows into the farmlands of our people where they destroy all their farm produce. They block the highways with their cattle, rob and kidnap our people. They abduct them and keep them captives in the bush and demand for ransom.
