I don't know the best adjective to describe you....

so long you igbos dont understand to defend every single body in nigeria,then no igbo should be voted president or their choice candidate.


Using the highlighted from you...Can you tell how the Hausa/Fulanis have defended every single body in Nigeria?

You and the cow rearer from Daura are worse than the transvestite from Otuke...If in doubt ask ordinary Nigerians...not shameless and heartless BMC crew members like you..

You can read more....

****************Herdsmen Deserve More From Government************************

The minister of Agriculture and rural development, Audu Ogbeh said this in Abuja on Monday during a meeting on the crisis between herdsmen and farmers.

He said "Over the years, we have not done much to look seriously into the issue of livestock development in the country.

"I am sad to tell you that in the last 50 years until recently, we may have done enough for the rice farmer, the cassava farmer, the maize farmer, the cocoa farmer, but we have not done much for herdsman and that inability and omission on our part is resulting in the crises we are witnessing today.

"In Europe, every cow that is farmed gets a subsidy of 6 Euros per day, we have done next to nothing for the cattle rearers and as a result, their operations have become threats to other farmers."

Ogbeh disclosed that the government is planning a programme called "cattle colonies" as part of efforts to end the crisis.

"At least, five thousand hectres of land would be made available, adequate water, adequate pasture would be made available.

"We also want to stop cattle rearers from roaming about. The cattle will be provided with water and adequate security by the Agro Rangers," the minister added.

On his part, the minister of Interior Abdulrahman Dambazau while speaking during the opening ceremony, said government would not tolerate insecurity in any part of the country.

While noting that it was the function of the government to protect the citizens, he said "the current trend of situation is very bad for the North and Nigeria in general."

He added that the situation will result to food insecurity in the country if not quickly dealt with.

That's why we won't allow such rubbish again

it benefited nobody and we are still suffering the consequence till today.

Occupation

On August 17 Governor Okonkwo installed a dusk to dawn curfew in which only citizens with passes would be allowed to move freely at night. Non-Igbo citizens, especially the Hausa community, were subject to harassment from Biafran soldiers while women were often molested and sometimes raped, this in retaliation for the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom. Resistance groups began springing up constantly consisting of mainly ethnic Urhobos and Ijaws. Because of a series of uprisings against the occupying Biafrans in Benin City, General Okonkwo began raising a force of loyal native inhabitants to combat the rebels. By August 18 Okonkwo had assembled a force of 780 reliable volunteers to keep natives from attacking or killing Biafran soldiers. Loyal inhabitants donated whatever weaponry they had to the Biafrans, which consisted mainly of single-shot rifles and double-barreled shotguns. Cooks began poisoning Biafran soldiers whenever they had the chance to and it was because of this that Biafran soldiers began only eating food that was cooked by ethnic Igbos or self-cooked. Rebellious natives who did not wish to fight would often seduce Biafran soldiers to get information out of them and tell Nigerian authorities. On August 20 a group of Urhobo/Ijaw rebels raided a Biafran camp and were successful in killing 50 soldiers while 16 rebels were killed in the skirmish. Due to these rebellions Biafran soldiers began raiding and pillaging villages throughout both the Mid-Western Region and Niger Delta inhabited by anyone other than Igbo civilians. The Biafran government began broadcasting Biafran propaganda in the region while the Nigerian government broadcast anti-Biafran propaganda as well. On September 19 President Ojukwu declared Governor Okonkwo President of the Biafran puppet-state, the Republic of Benin, in an attempt to make citizens of the Mid-Western Region loyal to a government other than Nigeria.

Turning the tide
On September 20, while the Biafran 12th Brigade was stationed in Ore, the Nigerian 2nd Division under General Murtala Mohammed attacked the Biafrans and almost immediately forced them to retreat. The retreating Biafrans destroyed the Oluwa Bridge and managed to get a vital head-start in front of the advancing Nigerians. When the 12th Brigade reached Benin City they alerted their comrades and, instead of mounting a defense, Murtala and his troops began looting the city, even stealing $5.6 million from the Central Bank. When the Nigerian 2nd Division arrived in Benin City they discovered the city largely abandoned but managed to find a trapped Biafran unit stationed in the Benin Prison, most of whom were killed while attempting an escape. Meanwhile, the Nigerian 3rd Marine Division under General Benjamin Adekunle began landing in Warri and capturing it along with Sapele and Ughelli. Most Biafran soldiers trapped behind enemy lines abandoned their uniforms and weapons before integrating into the local communities, escaping eastward when they had the chance.

Aftermath
The Nigerian 2nd Division continued to pursue the Biafrans but were stopped after retreating Biafran soldiers detonated and collapsed the River Niger Bridge at Onitsha. On October 7, 1967, citizens of Asaba were forced to leave their homes and attend a public dance in Asaba. When the civilians arrived in downtown Asaba they were massacred by the 2nd Division, under the supervision of General Murtala Mohammed, in retaliation for the assassination of Ahmadu Bello at the hands of Kaduna Nzeogwu one year earlier, this massacre became known as the Asaba massacre. The 2nd Division then invaded Onitsha and managed to capture and hold onto control of the city for less than a day before they were surrounded and massacred by Biafran soldiers.

capture of Port Harcourt

Invasion of Port Harcourt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Port_Harcourt

The Invasion of Port Harcourt (March 8 – May 24, 1968) was a military conflict between Nigerian and Biafran military forces.

Background
In the mid-1960s, people from the Hausa and Fulani groups in Nigeria decided to start the Anti-Igbo sentiment against the Igbo people of southern Nigeria, which resulted in the killings of thousands of Igbos and the evacuation of hundreds of thousands more Igbos from northern Nigeria. In 1967, Col.Odumegwu Ojukwu declared that the Igbo people had seceded from northern Nigeria to form the Republic of Biafra.
Soon after the announcing of their secession, the Nigerians took control of many large cities in Biafra, including their capital Enugu

Fall of Enugu

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Enugu

The Fall of Enugu, (October 1–4, 1967), was a military conflict between Nigerian and Biafran forces. Enugu was invaded after the Biafran retreat from the Mid-Western Region only 14 days earlier after the Nigerian 2nd and 3rd Marine Division cleared them of the area.

Prelude
When Nsukka fell to the Nigerian 1st and 2nd Brigades the Biafran President, Odumegwu Ojukwu, knew that his capital would be the Nigerian's next target. After a failed invasion of Nsukka on July 30, 1967 resulted in the death of Major Kaduna Nzeogwu President Ojukwu began drawing up plans for an invasion of Nigeria's Mid-Western Region in an attempt to divert attention away from Enugu.
The invasion of August 9 was a tremendous success for the Biafrans and was followed by a sort of 44-day stalemate, before it was broken by the Nigerian 2nd Division's invasion of Ore. Biafran soldiers retreated from the region on September 20, 1967 and fled back to their homeland, pursued by Nigerian soldiers.
The commander of Nigerian troops stationed in Nsukka, General Obasanjo, was relieved of his command and replaced with Lt. Col. Theophilus Danjuma.

battle of Ore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwest_Invasion_of_1967

The Midwest Invasion of 1967 (August 9 – September 20, 1967) was a military operation between Nigerian and Biafran military forces. The invasion began when 7,000 Biafran soldiers led by General Victor Banjo crossed the River Niger Bridge into Asaba. The Biafran retreat from Ore is considered the turning point of the war.

Background
When Nsukka fell to the Nigerian Army on July 14 President Odumegwu Ojukwu knew that the Nigerian would next set their sights on the Biafran capital, Enugu. After a mission to recapture Nsukka on July 30 failed and resulted in death of Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, Ojukwu began drawing up plans for an invasion of Nigeria's Mid-Western Region in an attempt to divert attention away from Enugu.

Operation UNICORD

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwest_Invasion_of_1967

The Operation UNICORD (July 2 – July 12, 1967) was an offensive launched by the Nigerian Army at the beginning of the Nigerian Civil War. It involved the capture of 6 major Biafran towns near their northern border.

Background
When Nigeria became an independent state in October 1960 the newly formed government consisted mainly of northern politician from the Hausa-Fulani ethnic group. Early on the Nigerian government became corrupt with various politicians swindling public funds and rigging votes. By 1965 the Nigerian government became so corrupt that uprisings against the government sprang up all across Nigeria with various politicians attempting to gain more power. This resulted in rioting and mass arrests in the cities of Lagos and Ibadan. The politician Obafemi Awolowo was falsely blamed for causing the riots and was sentenced to 10 years in a Nigerian prison.
All of the chaos that occurred in the political ralm gave was to the 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat in which 11 senior politicians were killed by mainly Igbo soldiers led by the Army Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. The Nigerian Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa was one of the 11 politicians assassinated during the coup of January 15. Nzeogwu's soldiers were forced to retreat to Kaduna after General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was able to assemble a force of soldiers in Lagos to combat the rebellious soldiers. Ironsi was made Supreme Commander of Nigeria on January 16, 1966 and became the first Igbo head of state in Nigerian history. many northern generals and politicians were angry at Ironsi for two reasons, because he did not execute Major Nzeogwu and because he was giving more and more political power to southern politicians.
On July 29, 1966 Ironsi was assassinated by mutinous soldiers which included William Walbe after they wrestled command from Theophilus Danjuma and installed Colonel Yakubu Gowon as Head of State. The counter-coup resulted in the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom and caused the brutal massacre of 50,000 Igbo civilians living in various northern cities such as Kano and Kaduna. These massacres angered many Igbo civilians and a inadvertently led to easterns calling for secession. Ojukwu met with President Gowon in Aburi, Ghana in December 1966 to discuss the situation that was occurring in Nigeria. An apparent vote was held by a consultative assembly appointed by Ojukwu, and they approved of a secession of a secular Igbo state. However, it must be said that from all indications the decision to secede had already been made around late 1966 by Ojukwu and his closest confidants which included Louis Chude-Sokei, Christopher Okigbo, and the very influential CC Mojekwu. On May 30, 1967 Ojukwu officially seceded the Eastern Region and proclaimed the new Republic of Biafra.
Ojukwu managed to assemble a 3,000 man guerrilla force to defend Biafra's front lines. In early July 1967 Nigerian President Gowon ordered the Nigerian Army high command to regain control of the Eastern Region.

Lipscomb:
And for you bastard ,hypocrite your problem is complex I can't help you . everyone aware that after buhari 2023 power must return to southwest and note that its doesn't necessary that osinbajo or tinubu become a flag bearer of the party we have a lot of intelligent people among us your southeast can't be a president of this nation don't you know its a taboo for Igbo to be a president?

LionDeLeo:

Cooly100:
When you were given permission to field ONLY Falea and OBJ...all Yorubas...Where you still spermatozoa in your father's system?...I mean you were not born then...?

Which SW did you develop...? No SW state except Lagos (developed by all Nigerians) is better than any states in SE, despite the fact that you have lion share of FG investment...than the SE.

so long you igbos dont understand to defend every single body in nigeria,then no igbo should be voted president or their choice candidate.

InfiniteLoopx:

Pchidexy:

dont take them serious.

they want you to dash them.because they are igbos we should give them special permit.

they dont have to play the game like others.

how many other tribes do you see making so much noise about president nonesense like igbos online.?

they think its their birth right.

but they will always accuse others of birth right mentality.

if they want it,make them prove themselves by developing east and making us jealous.

LionDeLeo:

Ikechuob:
That's tsdarkside.

A well know YORUBA on this forum desperate to be Urhobo. He's been beaten blue and black by his desperate attache by force including by the urhobo he constantly attache to. The dude is just EXTREMELY PATHETIC!!!! The only reason he tried to rope igbo into this is because the op called out his Afonja tribe and he wants to get the attention away from his tribe and start an igbo vs minorities argument. He always does that and it always fall flat in his dumbass face.

Never seen an animal as useless as that tsdarkside/verydark/ all the numerous id the goat has. He has ZERO SHAME!!

your paranoia is something else.

shallysgirl:
Abeg you well?
What has Igbo and Biafra got to do with this topic now, I am getting confused.
You need to treat your phobia.
See a psychiatrist please.

how are you.?

Pchidexy:
Illiterate person! Where is Cross River and Akwa Ibom? You need to study geography and not the political geography we have in Nigeria.

Place a compass on the map of Nigeria and tell me where east is located.

The real Easterners are the Akwacross people.

you are east.how can you have 2 different types of names for the same direction.?which type nonesense is that.?

what is the meaning of south south.? who introduced that nonesense.?

GuidoVanRossum:
Same way I and majority of my Akoko edo people feel. We are neither Yoruba nor Igbo.

exactly.dont allow them to play games with you and your people.

GuidoVanRossum:
It will not matter when we keep mum and allow them to continue with the categorisation.
But now, some of them know we are so not Yorubas (neither culturally nor language wise).

well.i dont know about that.me,i only know am not igbo and am surely not becoming biafran.

they can forget that idea.

GuidoVanRossum:
Exactly my brother. You can't find a trace of yoruba in my language yet they categorise us as Yorubas.

they call me yoruba too.

and am urhobo.imagine.

then they ask me to prove it.insults upon insults.

op,what you think over yourself is important,not what others think about you.

its good that you are saying something.let your voice be heared.dont allow them to put you in a category.

igboland for example is not realy in the south.they are more to the east.

but you will always ear them talking about ss & se.

military goverment tried to solve this issue.but they are sooo resiliant that they called themselves south east to still clinge to that nonesense old eastern region.

i stopped calling my self south south.because i know the games igbos are playing.

am south,they are east.simple.

GuidoVanRossum:
***laughs***. But it does matters. Because any decision we make as a people is read with the "they are yorubas" view. It's true we are close to the Yorubas(geographically), but we are also close to the Ebiras, and even closer to the rest of our Edo brothers.

and i repeat.

it will not matter.

those trouble makers online care only about major tribes.whatever that means.

in their minds only hausa fulanis,yorubas and igbos exist in nigeria.the rest are minority tribes that should fit themselves into the major tribes.

thats reality.sorry.

Deathslater:
Honestly speaking i think the yolabaz are worse than the igbos, you need to visit lagos and see these egun people. they are seen as second class citizen in their land.

i wouldnt start insulting people and await from them to respect you back.that always back fires.

GuidoVanRossum:
Yes. I understand that, that's why I'm trying to correct that wrong categorization.


Below is a celebration of carnival in one of the towns in Akoko-Edo. You can deduce that our language and culture differ greatly from Yorubas.

it will not matter.people will still call you yorubas because you are in west near yorubas.

you cant demand from us to exactly know all tribes in nigeria.thats like learning mathematics.keep your peace and move on.
