#DidYouKnow sahelian mercenaries recruited mainly from Chad, Niger Republic and Mali by GOWON during the course of the war. The Gwodo-Gwodo were implicated in numerous gross war crimes and operated under a Jihadist mentality on the hapless Christian civilian population. They were rarely engaged in military operations in retaking Biafra but as an "ethnic cleansing" and genocidal unit on Biafran towns and villages following their capture by Federal forces. Today the generation of those mercenaries are known as FULANI HERDSMEN... THEY MADE DEAL WITH GOWON FOR OPEN GRAZING IN SOUTHERN PART OF NIGERIA IF THEY HELP WIN THE WAR Today their children is terrorising nigeria...AND NIGERIA IS PLANNING ON GIVING THEM AMNESTY... BUHARI ONCE SAID FULANI HERDSMEN ARE FOREIGNERS FROM CHAD....THEY KNOW THE DEAL THEY HAD WITH THEM AND NONE OF THEM WILL BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED BECAUSE THEIR FATHERS FOUGHT THE WAR FOR NIGERIA We must educate our people....the hidden history must be unveiled...nothing happening in Nigeria is by mistake...stop praying and take actions to leave the union...they can kill and go free under the name nigeria 4 Likes 4 Shares

ezenwajosh:Its true my brother. They were called gwodo gwodo. They moved into the areas where Nigerian soldiers captured and unleashed mayhem such as rape, arson and murder. They were one of the reasons Biafran Soldiers were willing to keep the fight going, even with catapults if need be. If you meet an ex-Biafran Soldier, ask him about them 4 Likes |

Ignorance is a disease. Gwodo gwodo mercenaries fought on the Nigerian side. They were from what is now Borno and Adamawa states. Gen Akinrinade wroe about them. Yes they were used for ethnic cleansing in mid-west. You have to be half educated to call them Fulanis or even herdsmen. This is the big problem we have in Naija now, half educated youth posting stuff to mis-educate quarter educated youths. Gwodo-gwodo tribesmen themselves must have had years of conflict with Fulanis in the past. These absurd generalizations and starting a thread without researching should be watched. There has been ethnic cleansing all over Nigeria. The idiots who started all the problems in Nigeria including military incursions into governance by launching a tribal coup in which only northern leaders died were also doing ethnic cleansing. You need the brutal frankness and unsentimental reasoning to admit that and maybe everyone will learn hard lessons and proceed on a new spiritual journey of love for fellow man. If you are not capable of that admittance stop posting stuff that only breeds more bitterness than fear, it solves no problem and it is of the devil 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Jimi24:Are Adamawa and borno people herders? After 1960 borno which you said is gwodo gwodo people has been part of Nigeria ,the war was fought from 1967 how come they were called mercenaries if they were already part of Nigeria as of that time of war. COMMON SENSE ADAMAWA WAS CARVED OUT FROM CAMEROUN AFTER THE WAR the mercenaries were not camerounians so how come you claim gwodo gwodo are from ADAMAWA....YOU KNOW NO HISTORY 3 Likes |

ezenwajosh:Do you even know the meaning of mercenary? A mercenary, sometimes known as a soldier of fortune, is an individual who takes part in military conflict for personal profit, and is not a member of any other official military. Mercenaries fight for money or other forms of payment rather than for political interests. 1 Like |

Sometimes it is not good to see evil and call it another that is not evil. Am a stunch Igbo man and if you've followed my comments I go raw and overreact when Igbos are drawn to the mud especially when the thing is generalized. We Igbos have been mocked as developers, kidnappers, baby factory, drug dealers, scam and fraud but my family and I have never contemplated any of those and when ever any Igbo person commits these I don't hide my displeasure to it because I know how it tarnishes and brings bad names to my fellow kins. Now, this is a matter of people losing thier life and you being honest you know that there are people in your kins that commit this crime especially the excruciatingly inconceivable grazing on people's farm, raping, maiming and killing them when being confronted. Please, check that if you are in their shoes that is at the receiving end how you'll feel that your parents are always at risk of being killed because they have a farm where they get what they eat. It is not like they are being accused falsely, many evidences abound pointing at how some fulani herdsmen terrorize others in their land. These people they terrorise especially the yorubas have said enough is enough and are now making out plans to save and defend themselves because personally I know that the yorubas are the most peaceful tribe in this world and only resort to violence as the only lastest resort as they prefer dialogue and peace being very educated and know that the center of development in Nigeria is in their states so may lose some economic and infrastructural advantages that they have now. Most times I yab or abuse them here it is mostly for cruise as I never meant it as I know that what I yab them are lies and just do it for cruise sake, to score cheap points and to feel good a little in the face of a tussle. I felt so bad that they good deeds are haunting them now and that they are pushed to the wall, remember if not for the yorubas that biafra would have worn the civil just in weeks, check it as it was the yorubas who still hold everyone as one Nigeria. Please, I know you guys know those bad eggs in your midst, we all know the bad eggs in our midst, stop supporting them, they are still doing all these with impunity cos people like you are still supporting them. We know our leaders cum politicians are evil garnished with selfishness and greed and are only after their self serving and not about we the masses, therefore, lets help ourselves. All these our leaders already have their children well placed and cared for abroad with a return flight ticket for them to run away to abroad when this war you and fume hatches. We are the ones to bear the brunts, we will be the ones to suffer it, let us think of our parents and siblings, how will you feel when they are killed, to me I will feel terrible that is why I fear so much about war, If I were the only one here that it will affect I wont shake but I have alot to lose that is why we should save ourselves. Please lets all come to a round table and dialogue, your brothers are evil and should be checked, that is the truth and noting but the truth. Please please... 1 Like 1 Share |
