I don't waste my prayer bro.
We have been praying for a better Nigeria but any little opportunity, you will bribe some1 to jump queue to be attain to.
Change your attitude towards Nigeria before you ask prayer to change it.

This is the poorest journalism I have seen in recent times. I am surprised the violence was conveniently swept under the carpet of NURTW. I served in Ebonyi in 2019/2020 and I can categorically confirm that there is no road transport workers union. What they have are park managers who maintain order, tax and remit to state coffers.

What is happening in Ebonyi is an INTER-ETHNIC WAR between the Ezza tribe and the EFFIUM people. The ezza tribe are domiciled in Ebonyi -ezza north and south and Ohawkwu, and umuezeokoha/Inikiri in Benue down to Otukpo (Land of Idomas). They are believed to be Igbos. The Effium tribe, on the other hand, are indigenous to the Effium community, but narratives from the Ezza folks and the neighboring Ngbo and Izzi peoples state that EFFIUM people ancestrally migrated from Cross River, so they are not seen as truly indigenous to the Land. Also, the Effium language is not mutually intelligible with any of the local dialects around or the central Asusu Igbo, so this confirmed the historical original account. Now, for the past decades, there have been massive influx of Ezza folks into Effium and thus has led to demographic changes that disfavor the Effium people -Ezza are now the majority in EFFIUM-LAND and have been, allegedly, trying to change the community into EZZA-LAND. The Ezza control the commerce, finances, education -they dominated the largely poor and uneducated Effium people. The last straw was the Ezza's attempt to crown an Ezza king in the Effium community. There was already many layers of implosion, the garage fracas was just a spark that ignited the whole thing.

Just study the history of early Europeans who migrated into America and how they conquered, dominated and attempted to exterminate the indigenous native Americans. You can get a semblance of the point herein. The chairman of Ohawkwu LGA is an Effium tribal person and accounts from Ezza corners have it that he did nothing to quell the civil war -rather he was alleged to be supplying weapons to this Effium people to fight the Ezza. Many people have been killed and houses and businesses destroyed.
I pray that a lasting solution is arrived at and that the EZZA and EFFIUM finally have the boldness and requisite tolerance to coexist in peace in EFFIUM. It was this Effium experience that disproved my then thought of the SE states as 100% homogeneous. I now know that there are non Igbo tribes in the region, but most of them are begging for assimilation into the larger fold of Igbo and the assimilation is neither coming or they are stigmatised becausr of their non igboness.

I am from Ibadan, and I hope anyone gets insights from this exposition and make contributions to quelling the killings and conflict.

Thank you all.

You're welcome but are you saying vanguard people dey lie?

Yes. Most of the correspondents don't go into the local places to find out the real happening and interview people. They just publish the immediate causes of conflicts and do not research into the remote causes. I lived amongst this people for more than a year. And since yesterday, I have been calling my contacts, including my former students and friends in Effium -both from the Ezza and Effium groups. And the accounts they all gave are thoroughly different from the Vanguard cock and bull story.

molatan:

My dear, it has escalated to tribal war. Curfew is the best way to curb the situation now.
