So Ogedengbe made military incursions; albeit successful ones into the great Benin empire and even forced the Oba to nearly abscond his throne? Hmmmm so no be today Yoruba start to dey colonize Bini people? though I doubt the story though.

Herdsmen attacks: Ogun traditional rulers write Army over alleged connivance
LATEST NEWS

On Jan 17, 2021
Traditional rulers in Ketu communities in Yewa North Local Government have written petition to the authorities of the Nigerian Army, over alleged connivance of some officers with herders to harass their subjects.


The traditional rulers in a petition dated January 7, 2021, alleged that herders invaded Iselu; Ibeku; Agbon-Ojodu and Asa communities with soldiers and molested their people, on December 19, 2020.

The traditional rulers were the Oniggua of Iggualand, Oba Micheal Dosumu; the Eselu of Iseluland, Oba Akintunde Akinyemi and the Alademeso of Igan Alade, Oba Gabriel Olalowo.


The traditional rulers in the petition alleged that about10 soldiers suspected to be from 35 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Alamala, accompanied the herders to the affected villages.


In the letter, the traditional rulers said that the herders and the soldiers stormed Ibeku village in a vehicle belonging to the Army and proceeded to the residence of the village head.

“The Baale was asked to gather his subjects and people from nearby villages which he did. The suspected soldiers told the people that the purpose of their visit was to inform them that the Fulani herders would be coming into their communities to graze cows. Thus, the soldiers would ensure that there was no breakdown of law and order.


“After their address, they asked if anyone had a question or comment to make in reaction to the information. Expectedly, One Mr Seye Mulero responded by calling the attention of the soldiers to the inherent challenges of allowing the herders in their Communities based on the sad previous experiences in the community.

“That the said Seye Mulero further cited past killings, maiming and destruction of farms to buttress his point. Sadly, at this point, the soldiers seized him and mercilessly beat him up.

“In the same manner, the Fulani herders in the company of the suspected Soldiers left Ibeku for Asa, the adjoining village to address the Baale of Asa and his subjects as they had earlier done at Ibeku. Shockingly to the soldiers after their address, the people refused to respond, having heard what transpired at Ibeku.

“However, one of the Fulani herders sighted some of the people in the audience and picked on them as those that purportedly shouted on them at Ibeku while brutalising their victim (Seye Mulero). The herders asked the soldiers to also deal with them.


“On hearing this, the people took to their heels. However, one Gabriel Mulero was not so lucky enough as the soldiers grabbed him and ruthlessly assaulted him. He was whisked away in their pick-up vehicle to Agbon-Ojodu, another adjoining village where they compelled the Baale to assemble his subjects for a forceful briefing.

“It was at Agbon Ojodu that the said Gabriel Mulero was dropped off from the Army pick-up following pleadings by some community leaders,” the petition read.


They asked the military authority to identify, investigate and prosecute the suspected soldiers for the alleged connivance and involvement in the attacks on the villagers by the Fulani herdsmen.

The traditional rulers informed that the Police were aware of the accusation against the soldiers.

The traditional rulers further said the State Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun had on January 3, brokered a meeting over the matter at the Police Divisional Headquarters, Eggua.

Hahahahaha, the guy has not given me the first oba of lagos .

He couldn't even give that of Benin.

The guy just making me laugh.

Na una dey entertain these clowns

nocomment3:


Don't ask absurd questions. Nobody can do time travel to answer your questions.
There is absoluteley no proof that Benin met people in Lagos when Benin was taking ownership of Lagos. the year Benin took ownership of Lagos is not even available. What makes you think Lagos wasn't always inhabitated by Benin or that it wasn't just a wild land with no human beings when Benin soldiers took over ?
Let us stop speculating and asking questions with no anwsers. the only thing which is proven is that lagos belongs to Benin, end of story.

.

Now if this isn't the lamest submission I've had the displeasure of reading, then I don't know what else could come any closer. All you've done here is present wild, redundant and inadmissibly wild theories with no documented facts or proof...na so dem dey take claim land for Bini?so you just show up to a man's land after drenching yourselves in astute streaks of delusions, falsehoods and some revisionist nonsense stories probably fed to you by your ogogoro drinking parents and ancestors with alzheimer's disease. Honestly I'm surprised this thread even made it this far, Yorubas can surely do better than this garbage.

So after all this long epistles, essays, PowerPoint presentations, historical jagbajantis and thesis writing... na who come get Lagos?

For my Bini brothers remember say no be person wey first enter land dey get case for ownership ... I'm sure there were indigenous people/aborigines that you met in Eko if your claim that you were there before the Yorubas is true... If that be the case; who were these indigenous people in question? and which language did they speak etc

Flavor has always been a level headed Nwafor, he's one of the few Igbo artist that always identifies with and promotes his Igboness along with Phyno etc.

Tales of horror from Ekiti forests where kidnappers maim, kill victims

Cases of kidnapping are becoming worrying in the South-West with kidnappers having a field day in Ekiti State. It’s a miraculous story for one of the kidnap victims, sixty-three-year-old retiree, Mr Taiwo Davies, who spent about a week in the den of kidnappers after he was abducted on Friday, November 16, 2019 axis along Ikere–Akure Road.

Davies said, “Kidnappers don’t move in the daytime. Immediately they kidnap someone, they would move to the bush in that environment, but the following day, at about 7pm when they know people are no longer on the farms, they would move to another place.

Just drop nuclear bombs on the North and end it all...these people are of no service to humanity.

I sincerely believe that it is only a dullard Will believe this story. Nnamdi KANU is a first class scammer. Making Nigerian security agencies to look for non existence ESN. Now that Trump has fallen like pack of cards, The scammer will definitely come with another story for his blind followers.

Have you eaten this today?

Etinosa1234:


Come and change our Benin word for prince Na...

Just for the record, that individual MelesZenawi is the same person as Juliusmalema and he isn't Igbo(he has been exposed and called out for his bullshit on many Igbo threads already) ... as a matter of fact nobody knows where the troll comes from, so we can just deduce he's probably not even Nigerian.

Amotekun killed my cousin, shot five others in our family house –Eyewitness

Qudus Odugbemi tells OLUFEMI OLANIYI in this interview how his cousin, Rasaq Odugbemi, who sat in front of his family house, was allegedly shot dead by Amotekun corps attempting to disperse Tapa youths during a carnival
What is your name and who is Rasaq Odugbemi to you?

My name is Qudus Odugbemi. (The late) Rasaq is my cousin.

How old was Rasaq and what was his occupation?
He was 20 years old. He had completed his secondary school education and had applied to a higher institution; I think the polytechnic in Abeokuta. He was supposed to sit the entrance exam into the institution on Monday, January 11 but he was killed by Amotekun just few days to that.

How was he killed?

We were all at our family house in Tapa that fateful night. We all normally go there because that is where we grew up. We would leave the place around 9pm for our various houses.
On that day, at around 6pm, I saw some youths preparing for a street carnival. I knew that there was not supposed to be any carnival this period because of the security situation in the state and especially in our area (Ibarapa). I called the DJ and asked him what was going on. He told me that they had the permission of the government to hold the carnival till 9:30pm. I am not sure of his claim but I told them that they must leave latest by the time he said they were given.

Around 9pm, I left my cousin at the family house and I decided to go to my house. He was sitting down at our family house. As I was going I met the Amotekun corps coming towards the venue of the carnival. They drove recklessly into the midst of the youths at the venue of the carnival and this approach infuriated the people there. You know everybody cannot reason the same way, some of the youths started challenging the Amotekun corps and asking, ‘Do you want to kill us? Do you want to crush us with your vehicle?’ Many of them (youths) were drunk anyway. They said the time was 9pm and they had the permission to stay there till 9:30pm. This resulted in a heated argument and one of the Amotekun personnel brought out his gun and threatened that the youths would be shot. The youths became more angry and started saying, “Are we animals? Shoot us now.” That was how one of the Amotekun corps shot at the crowd and about eight persons fell to the ground. They were shot on the legs and they were injured.

How many people died from the incident?

Five persons were shot and injured in front of our house alone. When they saw what happened, the angry youths started throwing more stones at the Amotekun personnel. That was when one of the Amotekun men pointed his gun towards our family house and fired gunshots in that direction. Five persons in front of our family house were hit by bullets. My cousin, Rasaq, was hit on the chest and he fell down. There was also a lady, Aishat Odugbemi, who was hit under her breast; another lady, Faida, I don’t know her surname, was hit on the leg. A bullet hit one old man on the leg as well. In all, five persons were hit in front of our family house.

Two Die As Farmers, Herdsmen Clash In Oyo Community

Two farmers in Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Government area of Oyo State, on Friday, were killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen after an indigene of the area, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, stormed the area to warn the Seriki Fulani, Alhaji Saliu Kadri, against the mindless killings of the natives of the community.

Saharareporters gathered that hoodlums shot two other people in Oke Itunu, Ibadan North Local Government Area of the state on Friday.

Police Public Relations Officer, Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the two incidents.

Igangan, Ayete, Tapa and other Fulani settlements in Ibarapa have recorded kidnapping cases in recent times.

A resident of Igangan told SaharaReporters that Sunday Igboho went to the settlement of the Seriki to confront him. Igboho accused the Fulani leader of being responsible for the crises in the area.

Following this, it was learnt that some of the Seriki boys trooped out and attacked the Yoruba farmers on their way from their farms.

The PPRO said, "Today, ( Friday) at about 6 pm, the popular Sunday Igboho from Igboho town stormed the Fulani camp at Igangan with his men in four Hilux pickup vans and attacked the people, injuring four persons.

"He then warned them to vacate the camp in seven days or be forcefully evicted. The injured were taken to the hospital for treatment. Police patrol vehicle has been deployed in the area. An investigation has commenced into the matter."

Similarly, two people were also reportedly killed by hoodlums in Oke Itunu area of Ibadan North local government of Ibadan, the state capital.

Saharareporters gathered that the development forced some residents of Coca Cola, Leventis, Ajibade, Ajegunle, Oke- Itunu and neighbouring communities to desert their homes and shops.

Fadeyi noted that the police had stationed its men in the area to avert a crisis.

He said, "The information I have is that they set ablaze a man suspected to be a thief Thursday morning.

"Later, three men suspected to be cultists went on an attack and shot one Ojo Jacob, said to be about 58 years old, and ran away."

pazienza:
PHijo



There was never a first time. So I don't understand what you mean by "this time".
The only group getting annihilated post Nigeria is Ijaw if you don't mind your Bayelsa and stop your expansionist agenda outside Bayelsa.
The Edo will be plummeting you from Gelegele, the Yoruba's from Ondo, the Itsekiri from Warri, the Ibibio from Andoni (that you claimed from old Southeast state (old name for Cross River) and from Eastern Obolo and Ibeno you are currently laying claim claim ,you will be decimated in free for all grab,if you don't get comfortable with your Bayelsa state.





We never came for your land. So there is no coming back. You are the one who took what belongs to us and when your God( the Hausa Fulani) behind whom you hide to do that are taken care of, you will vomit that which you swallowed. As far as Ndiigbo is concerned, Ijawland starts and ends in Bayelsa. Rivers state is the buffer between Igbo and Ijaw, that's how it will end.



The tail (Ijaw) cannot wag the dog. Ama is Igbo. And Igbo is an older group than Ijaw as reflected by our superiority to you in every aspect.




What lands are Northerners recovering from Ndiigbo? Are you okay at all?
Fulani Herdsmen militia are like the white walkers, the army of the dead every group in South will have to fight and win. Once they are out of the way, Ndiigbo will get back all you hide behind the Hausa Fulani to take from us. This is why real Igbos will not accept heterogeneous Biafra, because that will mean we will have to treat you as countrymen as well as allow you keep the spoils you seized from us with support of Hausa Fulani after the war, since that would be the only way a heterogeneous Biafra could work.
Core Igboists will NEVER accept that arrangement because Ijaw deeds must be revisited and appropriate retribution apportioned!




Ijawland starts and ends in Bayelsa. No Igbo man is interested in your Bayelsa.



Igbo is an international language with about 40m strong speakers. There is nothing incomplete about it. We don't need the pronouns to convey our meanings. We are unique.
There is no language called Ijaw language. Ijaw is a franchise any group with any distinct language can join. A fraudulent ethnic group. What we have is Izon language and its in Bayelsa! With not up to 1million speakers because the people prefer pidgin English to a dead language.





There is no language called Ijaw language and there is nothing complex about Izon language. Its just not palatable to even Izon people themselves which is why even in their villages they prefer pidgin.
Ogbia language is Ibibiod and share nothing in common with Izon. They don't even belong to same language grouping. Epie/Atissa, Engenni, Udekeme, are Edoid and belong to distinct language grouping from Izon.
Opobo town speak Igbo. Andoni is Ibibod with sprinkle of Izon and Igbo.
There is no language called Ijaw language. Ijaw is a modern day fraud. A franchise ethnic group.
Just have crude oil, have land, live in riverine area, wear Bowler hat, then send invitation to IYC or INC, they will arrive and inaugurate your group into Ijaw franchise, chikina! It doesn't matter the language your group speak. Just wear Bowler hat
aka resource control hat and come to meeting. Nah Pidgin sure pass.



This shows how ignorant you are. Language borrow words here an there to serve as synonym to the ones they have . But the syntax of the language keeps it unique. In Igbo, we adapted Ashawo from Yoruba for prostitute in addition to Akwunakwuna we earlier adopted from Cross river and Oku-enu we invented ourselves.
That's normal for languages.
Britain was ruled by Norse men, French, Romans at different times in history and adopted words from those languages. But English remain a Germanic language. They don't have people speaking distinct Romance, Slavic, Gaelic languages all claiming to be ethnic English people.

No matter how you look at it. Ijaw as ethnic group is the biggest fraud in Nigeria. At least in Hausa/Fulani ethnic group, its just two distinct groups fraudulently claiming one. In case of Ijaw, its up to 6 distinct unrelated languages all claiming to be members of a Franchise ethnicity called Ijaw.




Central Igbo is not used by any Igbo man in everyday interaction. It's only used for academia. Every Igbo person even far away Igbanke man in Edo state understands Central Igbo at first glance to a reasonable extent.
All Igbo groups speak closely related dialects all mutually intelligible in a geographical continuum and all belonging to same language grouping.
Igbo is a REAL ethnic group and not a franchise. This is why we can't claim any group not speaking a related dialect. We are not a FRANCHISE.
.

I haven't been on here for a while but man how did it get this bad that Igbos now bring themselves so low as to bandy words with some idiot from a tribe that anyone can hardly point out on the map of Nigeria? who even sabi Ijaw dey exist outside of maybe Nigeria? if not for militancy and their entitlement noise over "oyel" that they don't even own in large quantities, who 4 dey even hear about that crude and nearly extinct clan (not even ethnic group) of primitive fishermen and creek dwelling vagabonds? Odogwu you guys have to do better honestly, this is 2021 and your standards should be higher than dragging case with some bunch of derelicts.

ThatFairGuy:
Sir Emeka Ofor, good one from you.
The blood of Yorubas flows in your vein! Hence, this Great gesture. Keep it up and don't listen to some chestbeaters. A Yoruba man in Igbo incarnate TO THE WORLD

Thank God for Igbos in your region, they are reason you can feed today.
