GMBuhari:
So now you admit you killed thier cows and slaughtered them. Abi? Congratulations but remember some other people are still receiving returns for what you did


Oh and I'm sure I'll mention you too

Lol

I hear you.

In my community then, any one who grazed his cow on farmland will have the cow seized
Anyways, there is no grazing land there anymore there, it's all buildings

BTW are you a Fulani person?

Xcex:
If any aboki try nonsence in anambra, total purging will be d nxt tin. Keep ur cattles in ur place

That is my fear...
Those anam people don't know who is fulami and who is Hausa, when the wahala start, all those innocent suya sellers etc will all be slaughtered....

Let us use our brain to avert this crisis.

GMBuhari:
Let's wait and see I will surely mention you

So you are one of those who support the fulani rampage in Nigeria right?
Your people will never forget the way we dealt ruthlessly with them where I come from...... Killed all their cows and beheaded those wicked people who started by killing some of our people.

It's been 15 years since and they have not been back, but I trust my umunna, if they come for reprisal again, they will get it double.

The coward herdsmen know the communities they go and attack, and the ones that they dare not.

BACK TO THE ISSUE: SOUTHERN KADUNA AND BUHARI'S TRIBESMEN AND RELIGIOUS BROTHERS KILLING EVERYONE ELSE

"Ayuba Azzaman wrote:
My name is ASP Usman Gambo Kobin, I am a retired police officer, I am from Kobin, Numana Chiefdom, Sanga LGA of Kaduna state.
We learnt that some people were killed in Nandu, and some in Kabamu all in Numana Chiefdom. I then went to my old father around 7am and said, “baba, I don’t know what may happen to us today based on what we have been told but stay at home and don’t move around”. A Fulani man had actually hinted us of the impending attack but it was hard to ever imagine that our Fulani neighbours would come around to attack us.
Then around 1:30 pm, we suddenly heard gunshots. They had launched their attack. Without any weapon, and nowhere we could escape to, I told my wife to remain indoors and let us be killed with dignity in our home. But, she was too scared and insisted she wanted to run out believing she may escape. She then ran out as shooting was still going on. My 104-year-old dad whom I asked to stay indoors was outside and he was the first casualty of the attack as they shot him outside. After some time the shooting came close to my house, behind my room and since they were in my backyard, that meant that the entire village had been surrounded.
You could hear the screaming and shrieking of women and children the invaders were just killing everyone. It was horrible. They shot dead my wife as she ran out trying to escape. At the end of the shooting, nine of my relations were gunned down. I lost my father, Madaki aged 104; my elder brother, Paul aged 70; my wife, Salamatu Gambu aged 56 years; two of my brothers’ wives, Hadiza Danjuma, 35 and Helen Fedelis, 40 and the young son of my elder brother. Also killed were the wives of my elder brother’s two sons as well as elder brother’s grand daughter who was eight months pregnant.
Among those who carried out the killings were Fulani who were born and raised in our village. We know them and they know us also. We have been living with them since their parents gave birth to them in Kobin. We know them. Their leader is one Yakubu Alhaji Haruna who is still in Sanga area and moving freely doing what he likes. People who were killed in my village were 48. Yes, we buried 48 people in a mass grave in Kobin. They were killed by people we gave our land to settle and graze their cattle without a quarrel.
There was not even a disagreement or anything between us before the attack. That is the most annoying aspect of the killings. The mass grave is there, just beside my house. And while killing our people, they were shouting, “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!” (“God is great” in Arabic, popular with jihadists while on mission). They were also saying “Ku Kashe Arna! Kashe Arna” (Kill the pagans! Kill the Pagans!) I was trapped in my home watching and listening. Those of us who survived are however suffering."
Nobody has been brought to justice, instead of justice El rufai will carry money and go beg them.
Do we have a president?

Are you serious?

we dnt care abt our health.

You got that right

jericco1:
These tips aren't meant for Africans

And why do you think so?

safarigirl:
I suppose you know a couple?

Nobody ever has peace of mind after such a life

And how do you know this
Don't be too sure o.


Many women/men who had such rough lives have left it behind long time and are moving on as if nothing happened.

Some of my ex course mates come to mind here, while The decent ones are still single as Bleep.

My dear, life is not mathematics o, it is a zig zag world out there

Pidgin English is the way to go...
Let us have a board that will regulate it, then we add new words every year from our local dialect infused into the pidgin, in 29 years, you will be surprised at the results.

Jamaicans speak their patois and dem no send...
Now today it is fashionable to speak Patois, and it's well known on the global stage compared to any African Language

Is Goethe instirut in Lagos very good?

AngelsAndStars:
All male species are polygamous in nature you can argue it all you like but that if fact.

society and religion has pressured us to "love" just one but guess what? our natural need resurfaces once a while.

yes, the society and church has done a great job to kill that part of our nature but it still pops out. give us a break

That your argument is flawed because all females in the animal kingdom are polyandrous too....

So judging by your logic, women are polygamous in nature too, and it's the society and church that has put that tendency in check.

Let's be real guys, man or woman has lust in him/her just like animals, but what separates us from them is the ability to control that lust, and not just straff any person we must after the way animals do.

ImpartFund:
Great one.But even those who are not born with certain "advantages" like you said also have some other"advantages".Don"t you think its a case of the poor not using the "advantage" they have the way the rich have been able to use theirs?I agree that there will always be the poor.Even Jesus Christ said so.But can u kindly tell us what you mean by "advantages"? www.impartfund.com

Okay..I'll check your site and make my contributions accordingly, that's the least I can do.

But....
u want to publish this? or something?

Why are you guys being pained now If Ice says he wan date the girl, e no concern anybody na

nonsobaba:
When i tell people that abakaliki and wawa(enugu) people are not real igbos, some call me a racist. Abakaliki and Wawa people have been the biggest saboteurs in the history of igbos. From the sabotage of the biafran war, to granting fulanis license to build mosques all over ebonyi state, to the free passage granted to fulani terrorists disguising as herdsmen to use enugu state as a launch base to attack igboland, these people have shown that they have mixed blood rushing through their veins. But one thing must be made very clear. APC is seen as an islamic and satanic cult here in Igboland no matter what clowns like Umahi say.

Chineke

Please give yourself sense now eh.
no dey talk like person wey get uburu aturu na

mightyhazell:
clap the trap,..u make no sense

How would I make sense to you when you are a BLOCKHEAD?
Dispute what I wrote with facts and you are talking like someone who is not wise.


I will say it again, the residents of borno saw pepper in the hands of the soldiers, with all the atrocities some of them committed.
That is what comes with war, and that is why we must do all it takes to avert it

Leopardd:
And you want to continue being part of a country whose system don't check war crimes their soldiers do commit internally.

I know the idea of Biafra doesn't appeal to you, but I know we as a people value human lives and can't uphold a system that does these to those it calls its citizens.

Then why not we stand as a people to change the system, instead of creating more chaos in the system

Nigerians in general don't value lives in general, and this cuts across, as Igbo people, or Yoruba people are not exempted, and if we don't change how we do things, if you like split the country in ten, the same thing will still continue....

Threr cases in point

Eritrea from Ethiopia....
Pakistan from India
South Sudan from Sudan

how has things changed for the better since their split?

Leopardd:
He i making sense. Why did they not bomb residential areas in NE to smithereens?

If you don't know, the army has been committing war crimes in Borno, killing innocents by the thousands, and having their girls as sex objects (not all soldiers tho)

When they killed Yusuf their leader back then they were not deadly, they killed innocent women and children.
But the wicked Nigerian media will not cover it.
Go and watch al Jazeera documentary on Boko Haram, and you will see live evidence to back my claims


But because it's far from the SE, many Igbos were not sympathetic to what was happening there

MtuMsuper:
Nope, Swahili is not the mate of pidgin.
English has alot of loan words from French, and your claim that it's 60-65% is outlandish to say the least. English remains a Germanic tongue and its closest relative is the Frisian tongue spoken in the Netherlands.
Swahili has bantu language at its core and loan words from Arabic, Portuguese, Turkish, Farsi due to the natal land of kiswahili being at the crossroads of ancient Indian Ocean trade and the influence of Islam.
I wonder if one can study pidgin to PhD level.

I see the problem...
You guys don't understand the pidgin....


Look, Pidgin has its own structure, and it is even used as a language of instruction in many parts of Nigeria, it has a good percentage of local words, and as such could be considered a distinct language.

sCun:
Nonsense.
The difference is that your white masters covered themselves and let their subjects be drenched by the rain while the Nigerian guys made sure everyone was protected by the umbrella.

Lol see excuse...
Very laughable.
So the people holding the Umbrella are being covered abi?
yeye

pazienza:
Now, some people expect me, as an Igbo man, to feel pity for the victims of Kano bomb attacks, the same people that were rejoicing and laughing while my Igboland was soaked with the blood of my people.

Gowon complaining about lack of support from America, but was grateful for the support the British offered him to terrorize Igboland.


How exactly can this colonial anomaly be one, how can a well breed Igbo man be a one Nigerian apologist, how much exactly was exchanged to buy their conscience?

What is this one saying

vicenzo:
I see you have been feeding off Yoruba propaganda.
1. So? There were non Igbos amongst the coup plotters too?

2. What's the relevant Of this question to the question of innocence of Ndiigbo?

3.This one is straight off Yoruba propaganda. The entire country initially celebrated the success of the coup, including Igbos.
No, no Igbo musician composed any such song. The composer of that song was a Cameroonian with Ijaw mother, and it wasn't about Fulanis.

4. It simply means that the Nigerian soldiers were incompetent and despite superior unlimited fire arms supplied to them by the British, the under armed Biafran soldiers still killed them in mass, and the incompetent Nigerian soldiers took out their frustrations on innocent unarmed Biafran citizens.

5- Millions of Biafrans also died because Nigerian Egyptian mercenaries were bombing market places in Biafra filled with women and Children, they were also bombing hospitals: https://www.nairaland.com/1876613/nigerian-federal-warplanes-bomb-residential

When if you agree that starvation is a legitimate weapon of warfare, then don't turn around expecting hand of friendship with people you exerted such wicked policy on. Don't assume they will forget it all and happily move on to build your failed nation with you. Always have it at the back of your mind, that they will never see you as brothers ever again,cos you were never their brothers, and would continue till eternity to seek separate existence from you.
Japan is not co existing as same nation with USA, neither is Germany coexisting as same nation with Israel. Boundaries had ensured those wronged healed and were able to forgive those who wronged them
and that both parties moved on. Same will do for Biafra and Nigeria.

6- I don't understand this part of your post.

7- Zik never did such. By the way, I wonder what you mean by the word " dominate".
8- You were really well fed with Yoruboid junks. Onitsha has no such meaning.

9- You simply have little or no knowledge of the events predating the foundation of Biafra, and as such had demonstrated poor judgement, conclusion and understanding of events.
Infact, as this juncture, I'd advise you go on a proper research on issues surrounding Biafra and stop feeding on Yoruboid faeces as sources.
Julius Nyerere was an African figure that was widely respected, you can read his take on the Biafran issue here:https://www.nairaland.com/2318977/biafran-struggle-through-eyes-julius

Lol @ Yoruba propaganda....

You know the problem then was that we had no social media then, because if we did, we would have had concrete evidence-based facts on these things, not lies from either my disgruntled uncles, or lies from the other side (as you said "Yoruba propaganda"

All i know is that my family has moved on, and God will not let all the actors in this carnage (Gowon, Ojukwu and Awolowo amongst the others) go unpunished.

As for Biafra; well I don't know what to say

God will punish ALL of them accordingly, or he has punished them already sef

gallivant:
Afrikaans is a Dutch dialect just as pidgin can be considered corrupted English. None is better or worse but the latter are not African. You can't compare Swahili with those two.

And why can't you compare Swahili with the two?

Swahili probably at some point was a corrupted language too, but none of you are old enough to know...

Just as you can say English is "corrupted French" because 60-65% of English words have French origins (Due to the fact that the French colonised them 1000 years ago)

Or how say Spanish is a "corrupted" language because of its foundation in Latin.

Swahili provably has such history too

MtuMsuper:
This "back water " language that you barely conceal your contempt for is taught in foreign universities. Its the quintessential African language.

Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are taught in foreign universities too(especially in American univetsities) so that counts for nothing


Raising your shoulder to disparage our llingua franca because of its origins from old English?
You people should go and sit down jare

AngelsAndStars:
LMAO... see different answers.

poverty is not anyone's fault but "the system"

in a society there will always be winners and losers, poor and rich. that's how is works. everybody cannot be rich but everybody can be poor(war torn)

the west successfully made necessary things available for their poor but African is a different playing field where greed reigns supreme hence poverty.

a society is maintained by force(military, police, etc) if not it won't hold. that's why the poor and rich can live side by side. fear of the state. law.

so at every given time in a society some must be automatically cursed to be poor while some must be cursed to be rich. if you fall in rich category thank your stars but if otherwise struggle out but if you failed to make it then call it"destiny (I don't believe in that though)

but know this. in every society there must be rich and poor. what we should be worried about is the gap between both classes.

Nice submission.
You have captured my thoughts.
Some are born with certain advantages, some are not, and within those who were not, many eventually break away from that and move up the social ladder, even though most will not get to the 1%

Mindfulness:
Blame the poor for being too lazy to succeed and glorify the rich. Glorify the 1% of the world's population who have 50% of the world's wealth in their hands and whose children will be rich without having to work for it.

But while you are at it, blame African countries for being poor because it must be laziness why they are poor and exalt, celebrate and adore developed countries because according to your logic they are the ones who work really hard to succeed, much harder than all Africans put together.

Truthsayer007 is right.
not true in all cases.

Infact, it is not true in many cases.
The 1% you talk about, you think it's all of them who did not work hard for their money, or Maybe you think those in that bracket were always in that bracket.
For many, they had to struggle, fight tooth and nail to get there, though some also got there via inheritance

I don't understand...

GERALD710:
Pidgin English is not an African language but the corruption of a Germanic language native to Europe.
In essence you are boasting about an imported language imported to West Africa and corrupted
Swahili is a Bantu language, developed for over a thousand years on the East African coast.
MTU means the same be it Swahili, Zulu,Kongo or Baroste.
Swahili remains the only AFRICAN language that is a lingua franca

Pidgin is our own, just as Swahili is yours ...

The Jamaicans speak their patua, and I kid you not, the world knows more about their patua than any back water language (Swahili)

And to call pidgin corrupted says a lot about you.
Will you call Afrikaans a corrupted version of Dutch, as Afrikaans is basically "Pidgin Dutch"?

kikuyu2:
Ok,Pazienza , I've been following up the whole Ibo thing for a while and now I've seen the big picture though I may have missed some details and here's my conclusion. YOU GUYS WERE NEVER AS INNOCENT AS YOU INSIST.

-almost all the officers in the first coup were Ibo, a crucial fact whether or nor it was an Ibo coup
-didn't the coup plotters kill N leaders and wives? And brag about it?!
-didn't many Ibos in N areas celebrate these atrocities? Didn't an Ibo at this time compose a song 'goats are crying' to mock the Fulani?
-how did 50k FG troop die in the war? Doesn't that figure exclude 'genocide' claims?
-Yes, 3 mn Ibos died,mainly of starvation but food was a legit weapon of war in these pre ICC days
-a Yoruba leader promised to seceed but Yorubas stayed with the FG and you've abused them ever since. Frankly,they'd have served as a mere speed bump in the way of the FG

Imo,these actions were based on HUBRIS!! Overweening arrogance and contempt for the abilities of others.
-didn't Zik publicly and repeatedly call for Ibos to dominate Naij and Africa?
-didn't he admit Onitsha meant 'we despise others'?
-what made Ojukwu , a trained officer imagine he could defeat the whole FG with tiny Biafra??

Are we not seeing the same ish with IPOB and Biafra even posing with the Zionist flag?Srsly its time to abandon unhelpful attitudes.

Onitsha does not mean we despise others....


The wave of killings against my people was never ever justified, no matter how you want to look at it.

My relatives that were butchered, what was their business with what happened.
Anyways I believe we should leave the past as past, but hey, the approach you are taking/the angle is not the real situation of tnings

Now we still have another abacha, I belong to no south, I belong to every north.

Is that what he said

Nasman:
Bloody lie. If it not on Daily trust or other Northern newspaper. I don't believe it. And plus, Tambuwal can't dare do that. This is a state where the Sultan is staying. The Ulama council are very powerful. If you say the head of Hisbah has been removed, then I may believe. But definitely not disbanding Hisbah in Sokoto State. How can Sharia Law be operated without it enforcement agency?
No Hisbah Agency no reelection for you as simple as that. You are from a part of Nigeria where Religious Conservative form the majority in the voting block.

If the Sultan is staying in the state, so what?


The earlier you guys divorce religion from politics, the better for you people.

ezeagu:
Yeah I'm sure he's never suffered being wheelchair bound, right?

Let me tell you the honest truth...

Many Nigerians will not mind substituting the hardships they are going through with the wealth at this guy's disposal, at the cost of staying on a wheelchair...

Do the polls, and the results will shock you

I doff my hat for you bros.... You did well, very very well.
