Thats the false narrative your brothers sold, that he wanted to build an 'Igbo Kingdom' in Ghana, where as, he said he wanted to build an Igbo Village

And of course, they failed to let people know that this were said 12 years ago, and the so called Igbo village idea had long been jettisoned.

They purposefully packaged the video to make it look like it was recent, when it was over a decade ago

Ok oo

gidgiddy:
And I guess you never bothered to find out that the video was made in 2013, and no land or kingdom has been bought or built by him since then?

DomPerignon:
He has recanted for his own good.

He even has it on his webpage where he wrote of establishing his Ibo village .

He did an interview recently and even posted on his SM feed that he wants to build his Ibo village from where he will rule as king.

Why is he now backtracking from this ambition of his?

Excelhigher:
Just hope the ADC will get it right and field the right person, believe me Nigeria is gonna be a save heaven.

Dogalmighty17:
Obi will be the most unserious politician ever if he allows El-Rufai associate with him. Nobody wants anything to do with Fulani again.

saintokwuluora:
Mr Peter Obi you don't need to explain anything as even those who were there had their agents like Onanuga making mockery of Buhari on his burial day. The way Yusuf was walking around while BAT was paying his last "respects" says alot about whether dem send am.

Racoon:
Yes you were corrected. Bukar Dipcharima was the acting prime minister before he caved in when Ironsi approached the then Senate President - Nwafor Orizu to allow the military take over and suppress the mutiny of January 15 1966.

saintjimos:
New states in Nigeria?

Is that what we really need ?

chiagozien:
Abi you Yorubas and hausafulanis will make him president of Nigeria?

uvie66:
.....if Sanwo Olu apply the same logic, they will have evicted most of them from Lagos.

Mrexcell:
Fulanis made uzodima governor so he can't do them anything.

Avedonn:
What is wrong with that Not all Fulani people are wicked. If you’re fortunate enough to meet the kind ones, they might even gift you fresh milk as a gesture of goodwill.

The real issue lies in our tendency to stereotype all Fulani as evil because of the atrocities committed by a few, and this generalization is not only unfair but also overlooks the peaceful coexistence of Fulani communities in other parts of West and Central Africa.

Do you know that Fulani constitute a significant population in countries like Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mauritania? Yet, you rarely hear about ethnic conflicts involving them in these regions.

The Fulani problem appears to be peculiar to Nigeria, and this raises an important question Why is Nigeria different The root of the crisis is due to two major issues:

1. Cattle Rustling in Northern Nigeria In states like Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Kebbi, the conflict began with Hausa cattle rustlers targeting Fulani herdsmen. This led to a cycle of retaliation, with the Fulani pursuing vengeance against not only the rustlers but also entire communities.

2. Farmers Herders Clashes in Central and Eastern Nigeria. For instance, In Benue, Taraba, and parts of Eastern Nigeria, the problem is different. Here, Fulani cattle often destroy farmers' crops, leading to confrontations. When farmers retaliate by harming the cattle or even the herders the Fulani respond with brutal force and aspect of the Fulani is their long memory for grievances; they do not forgive easily and will retaliate no matter how much time has passed.

Sometimes, the locals may have even forgotten the initial offense, but the Fulani will return to settle the score.

I was also told that in the past, if Fulani cattle damaged a farmer’s crops, the victim could report the issue to the Fulani leader Ardo who would ensure fair compensation. This has helped maintain peace before things escalated into the violence we see today.

True, some Fulani groups have indeed been involved in violent acts, but it is important to avoid blanket judgments.

I think understanding the underlying causes rather than outright condemnation of the entire Fulani ethic group is the first step toward finding lasting solutions to the crisis between the locals and Fulanis in some parts of the country.

If Yorubas had stay out of the war, Nigeria would have been a better place today

manck:
dont be a tribalist. Everyone has right to live where they feel comfortable with fear. I am not ibo

Igbophobia:
Even then we'll still have solution. Did you see how Cameroon took Bakassi from Nigeria? That's how we'll take two states using International Court if you guys touch our investment. It's an investment from the past to the future.

Igbophobia:
Can you give us the comparative sizes of Israel and Iran? It's not by size but the capacity of the people? Same SE you people cry have bought up Oke-Ado abi? Unfortunately, the sellers from SW used the money for Owambe ba?

aljharem:
If this is the only thing Tinubu achieve by eradicating these Kidnappers and murderers then his government has done well.

These Fulani herdsmen are a problem to Nigeria

Lezzlie:
it is okay. Let the tears flow and you will be alright.

KaLuCh:
Omo you get deeply rooted pain o.🤣🤣🤣. How we go help you now?

kettykin:
This is what I tell Biafrans that of you have 100,000 skilled engineers , scientists , technologist that Biafra will be achieved in a micro second. And their will be nothing Nigeria military can do except groan and wail aimlessly like a sheep in the midst of eagles.

mrvitalis:
There are igbos even in brono and sokoto... If you want to learn why humble yourself and ask

Zonefree:
Remove Lagos, there's no much difference between SW and Somalia.

Psoul:
The truth is that, Nigeria will keep sinking and getting worst until the spirit of the Igbos are appeased.
The conspiracy against the Igbos are so devilish. Starting from the British colonial matters down to other tribes especially the North and the West.

Bluffly:
All this tradition is what is stemming ritualism of blood. We need to start doing away with it. Who tradition help. Ifa temple ko, Ile temple ni
