And the anger continues to eat you inside out.

FYI: I'm not an Ijaw man. Go figure......

look at this idiot lying that he is not an ijaw .
you are deceiving yourself

Fake.

ikechu1278:
1. Igweocha itself is the historical name all Igbo had for current day PH before European gave it the term PH. Even the current members of ohaneze from ikwerre such as obi wali, Issac wonwu, etc equally refers to PHC as igweocha. Nothing is stopping una from calling ph whatever names your ancestors called it prior to European invasion is there? Last I checked, are Igbo pointing gun in una head to follow us refer PH as igweocha? Are we?

2. I'm from SS, asaba precisely, and I don't see nor do I consider Ken Saro wiwa nor Issac Adaka boro as ND hero's. My hero is Chief Dennis Osadebay. Just because osadebay is a hero in anioma does that now translate him as ND hero? No. likewise the two mentioned. Ken wiwa and Issac boro are hero's to their own tribe and I highly highly doubt you expect any Igbo to show respect to two people who assisted in killing our people? It is like asking Igbo's to respect awolowo. The same way una have no respect for ojukwu despite he is a loved man in the Igbo community and we have no problem nor drilling down in ppls head to respect him is the same way you shouldn't drill down on igbo to respect those we believed hurt us. Simple!!! For the second part of your post, I really cannot speak on that part because in some occasion, SE have accused anioma of treachery before so I won't try to speak nor defend it.

3. I agree with you on that aspect. Likewise you should follow your owm advice. The same way I cannot speak for you or anyone else for that matter is likewise the same way you cannot speak for me, etche, etc. The reason SE people go on attack is first una attack them first. Secondly, twisting facts to present itself as they are channeling or forcing community to protest. Like for example: asking the protesters to protest in abuja when based on the names released from the arrest majority of the protesters in pH were etche and last I checked etche community is in river state. You have no right to tell them to leave the land of their ancestors to go protest somewhere just because you disagree with their own opinions. The same way they respect you enough not to force you to join them is the same way you should extend that same respect to them..
The reason I say this is because I was here and read individuals telling the asaba women that protested to leave asaba and go protest in anambra despite itself asaba is our ancestors land.
Respect is reciprocally... Don't swing if una don't want igbo swinging cause we'll swing back.

Truckpusher:
There was no isnult in my post - I only insulted chimpanzees that can't argue without insults.

Sometimes I'm not always at peace with what people like Hopeathand are preaching here owing to the peculiar nature of the struggle and the people we are dealing with under the scam called 'one Nigeria' but again when you read the absolute hogwash emanating from some people ,you've got no choice than to agree with Hopeathand sometimes in truth and in principle.

If you feel insulted ,I'm sorry but I see no insult yet from my post - Trust me ,if I want to insult a man ,I know exactly how to do it right and well.

kk

Truckpusher:
A united Igbo nation with other distinctive minority groups should be based on mutual understanding for cultural identity of the different group and not labeling everyone Igbo ,what is your aim for such calculated attempt to insult a people's ethnicity with so much chest beating and raining insults and making threats to anyone who thinks otherwise while reminding them that their land is completely useless,polluted and degraded but you want them still.

The Igbo man's arrogance and noise making with his delusion of grandeur is a huge turn-off my friend - When you want partnership ,you court people and not making it look like a do or die affair ,so what is the difference between you and the oppressive Nigerian state that forced the Igbos into a unity where they are despised by almost all yet they want them to go? You ain't different bro and such people has the tendency to behave more worse than the zoo or equally.

Until you show respect for the authenticity of the ethnic minorities of the Niger Delta , you ain't going nowhere - We are all stuck in the Gambari man's net and his slave drivers,Think.

hmm.
you are insulting me as if there was a tym that you and I discuss any of d things you wrote above.
well.
I never said ogba is Igbo.
may you should read my previous reply again to see where I said "those that accept being Igbo"
thanks for all d insults anyway

discusant:
You say you have already lost your home to pollution in Nigeria. And you urge south south to wait for a better deal from Nigeria? Lol!!
I am now getting fully convinced that you're not from the south south. If by chance you are, and people like you are leaders in the south south, you people have a long walk home. You must wait till the end of the earth before you get any more increase from derivation. By the way, do you even know that what they pay in the Niger delta as compensation for oil pollution, is a tiny fraction of what compensation paid in other countries over similar pollution you get any time in the Niger delta? Whoever is in government in a country often indirectly affects how much compensation a company pays.

I know him very well he is from SS

Truckpusher:
With the utterances and bad blood that keep emanating from you guys I'm afraid that every Niger Delta child with an eagle's eye and a deep sense of history should learn fast and reject that idea until we are able to come to a compromise - We are not in a hurry to leave Nigeria yet ,after all our homeland is gone,what is the rush for ,we will wait for a better deal but right now we stick to the old deal.

hmm.
my brother I'm speechless oo.
d only reason we extended our hands to you was becos we are on a mission to build A united Igbo nation.
cos we felt that d division created by Nigeria and Brits BTW us and you guys is why we are still being attacked by NG in order to make sure we Neva unite for Biafra.
we beliv if we unite again even without Biafra d attack will stop.
even as i am now if Anioma state and another state for those who accept being igbo in rivers is created as part of SE, i will quickly say no to Biafra.
all i want is to unite with our igbo brothers in SS under one region(se).
thats all.
but what else can I say if d people i"'m fighting for says otherwise.

Truckpusher:
Lol, you can believe whatever you want to believe.I bet since Port Harcourt was founded on the need to evacuate coal from Enugu that automatically makes it an Igboland then just like Kaduna should be called Niger Delta for the sake of the refinery that was built in Kaduna to refine Niger Delta oil? abi!

Trust me ,ya'll aren't different from the Hausa/Fulanis and the Yorubas , ya'll have expansionist tendencies and it is our duty to put our head where we can only lose our resources and not lose our resources ,our identity and our land.This is called thinking smart because resources come and go but once your land is annexed the ultimate answer would become genocide.We wish you well in Biafra and we want our country if push comes to shove abi unity na by force again?

My Guy.
it's OK.
Ogba & ikwerre Ar not Igbo.
enough of all this unneccesary Argument.
This your fear of Igbo trying to commit Genocide on you in order to steal your resources and Annex your land is to much

VickJames:
this is surely the truth. our generation should take it from where they stopped, the truth is, we the igbo youth will cause more troubles in this country because of our attitude towards things.

Seconded.

How Nigerian govt. is fuelling conflict between
Nigeria’s Fulani herdsmen, host communities –
Report
While the attention of the Nigerian government is
focused towards ending the violent Boko Haram
insurgency in the country’s North East region, it
has turned a blind eye to the equally devastating
conflict, brewing in the North Central region, a
report released on Tuesday has said.
The report, titled “Terror in the Food Basket”
published by SMB Intelligence, a data mining and
research firm that provides analysis of Nigeria’s
socio-political and economic situations, described
the attitude of the Federal Government toward the
Fulani herdsmen and host communities in the
region as “head-firmly-in-the-sand”.
SMB Intelligence stated that the report was
compiled through ground reporting in three states
in the region – Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau
States – interviewing survivors, visiting internally
Displaced people’s camps, review of media
reports, visiting markets and curating available
causality figures.
First, the report debunked the over-simplification
of the conflict as caused by the activities of cattle
rustlers and said what is happening in the region
is “wholesale slaughter of communities” that
required urgent attention.
According to the report, over 2,000 people have
been killed in conflicts between the herdsmen and
host communities in the region in 2015 alone. In
comparison, according to the report, the Boko
Haram insurgency kills 2,500 people annually.
The report stated that although the conflict in the
region, aptly referred to as the “food basket” of
the country due to its largely agrarian
communities, is under-reported by local and
international media, its implications are far-
reaching and as deadly as the Boko Haram
insurgency in the North East.
“No war has been declared. Unlike the more high
profile and internationally recognized Boko Haram
insurgency, the conflict in the Middle Belt is
under-reported in both the domestic and
international media, and the government’s
response to it has been a sort of denial that this
conflict exists, with senior government officials
preferring to focus on either Boko Haram, or the
issue of cattle rustling in the North-West.
“While the number of Nigerians that have been
killed in this violence rivals the numbers affected
by Boko Haram in 2015, the killings are just as
indiscriminate – women, children, young men, the
elderly – everyone is a target. In March 2014,
Gabriel Suswam, then governor of Nigeria’s Benue
State, came under attack,” the report stated.
“This is about the vibrant, ethnic melting point in
the North Central geopolitical zone of Nigeria, an
area known as the food basket of the nation, now
reduced to the semblance of a war zone. In many
hamlets and villages houses are burnt or torn
down, and where the houses still stand they have
been overtaken by weeds as the inhabitants have
long fled. Schools and markets have been
destroyed or shut down. Farms, have been
deserted and whole communities have been
emptied. It is a story shocking in both its effect
on the region and in the near total government
silence.”
The report observed that despite promises made
by the All Progressives Congress to tackle the
conflict in the north central and President
Buhari’s condemnation of the killing of 95 people
by suspected Fulani herdsmen in March, 2015,
while campaigning to be elected into office, he
has completed ignored the region since he
became president.
A conflict of resources
Although SMB Intelligence admitted that the
conflict in the North Central is “multi-
dimensional”, it stated that its finding shows that
it is basically a conflict about resources.
“The seasonal southward migration of Fulani
herdsmen brings them into contention with
indigenous people of the Middle Belt region for
farmland, and according to respondents, this is
the primary source of conflict. Locals report the
destruction of their crops by the cattle of the
Fulani herdsmen, whereas the herders report that
their cattle are being stolen, what is commonly
termed as cattle rustling.”
The report observed that the number of cattle
herders have shot up recently and that they
appeared to be accompanied by a sinister group
of “herdsmen” armed with sophisticated weapons,
which are usually not associated with real
herdsmen, out to spread havoc on the
communities in the region.
“There are a lot more herdsmen today than there
were in previous years, and it appears there are
some accompanying them who are not practising
the normal business of herding. There are
allegations that some of the owners of the cattle
are retired army generals and politicians – it is a
big business.
“The Fulani herdsmen during their nomadic
movement with their cattle, which constitute their
own most important assets, encroach and graze
on the lands and crops of the native ethnic
groups in the Middle Belt. Inevitably, the natives
complain and the herdsmen recourse to organized
violence.
“When this happens, the herdsmen, who
reportedly have a powerful union across West
Africa report back to their powerful owners that
the cattle are being rustled or killed and then the
Union organises for protection to come – 6 SBM
Intelligence October 2015 usually mercenaries
accompany some of the herdsmen and attack
villages where cattle have been rustled or killed.
For example, 12 such ‘herdsmen’ were caught in
Guma in 2013[3]. Only one of them was Nigerian.
The others were foreigners.”
The report claimed that the killings have taken “a
systematic and methodical pattern that
increasingly looks like a deliberate plan to wipe
out native ethnic groups, either by killing or
displacing them, in order to take control of lands
and fields in the region.”
Fields are even sowed with chemical that makes
subsequent cultivation difficult if not impossible,
the report said.
It observed that the failure of the government to
take concrete steps into resolving the issue and
punishing perpetrators had added fuel to the fire
consuming the region.
“Because the government has failed to respond
adequately by protecting the lives and property of
the citizens in the region, the herdsmen have
grown bolder, and their perceived attempt to wipe
out the native ethnic groups has quietly morphed
into low intensity warfare. Even where the
traditional rulers have attempted to call the
herdsmen to peace meetings, the herdsmen
routinely take advantage of these occasions to
perform reconnaissance for future attacks.”
The impact of conflict
Consequently, the report stated that the conflict
had caused the lost of the means of livelihood in
the largely agrarian region as crop are destroyed
by animals and inability of farmers to cultivate
their land. Some for nearly 10 years.
Since the region produces most of the food eaten
in the country’s commercial nerve, Lagos, a city
of 20 million people, and other southern cities and
towns, its immediate impact is the hike of food
stuff.
In Lagos, for instance, the report stated that the
prices of tomatoes, which are mainly brought
from the north central had increased by more
than 225 per cent in the last two years.
“The variation in the prices during that time frame
can only be described as shocking. A small
basket of tomatoes (roughly 3kg), which used to
sell for between N5,000 and N6,000 in 2013, now
sells for N18,0000. The big basket (roughly 15kg),
which was sold for N12,000 now costs between
N26,000 and N27,000 depending on one’s
bargaining power,” the report stated.
Resolving the conflict
The report advocated the creation of an
enforceable grazing area in the North Central as a
short term solution to the problem of the conflict
between the herdsmen and host communities.
In the long run, it called on the government to
liaise with traditional rulers in the core north to
create communal ranches and provide water for
the ranches via irrigation projects.
“The establishment and enforcement of grazing
routes for the migrating herdsmen may be the
best chance for restoring law and order to those
states in the short term. These routes will have to
be agreed upon by all stakeholders and local
authorities will have to enforce them and apply
necessary sanctions to violators.
“[A lasting solution] requires vision and
investment in infrastructure that must be
sustained over a period taking a holistic view of
the problem. If properly implemented, it can
unlock new industry in the North and contribute
significantly to tackling unemployment in the
region.
“The first step is liaise with traditional rulers in
the North to designate land for communal
ranches. The government will then have to make
the investment to water these ranches via
irrigation projects which will ensure that dry
season grazing can be done in the region. These
ranches can be administered through the cattle-
rearer organisations such as Miyetti Allah.
“It will have the multiple effect of making rustling
a lot more difficult as herdsmen and their cattle
are concentrated in easily protected locations as
well as giving opportunity to do better agricultural
extension work which will help the herdsmen
improve meat and milk yields through improved
breeding practices. It will help with integrating the
herdsmen into society and also identifying and
dealing with those who masquerade as herdsmen
to perpetrate violence,” it stated.

obailala:
Only people who fall within the lowest cadre of society supports things like ipob. How can anyone expect a constituted state government to support such?

that is exactly my point.
Even though I am d Governor of River state and a supporter of Biafra.
There is no way I can openly Support Biafra no matter wat.
because I am under Nigerian Government.

coolscott:
It is an insult to associate us in Rivers State with movements engineered by pple who we doubt think through properly before they take a position, much less before they act.

The people of Rivers State, with ancient kingdoms and political structures spanning hundreds of years before the white man came.

Please we have not much in common with those south east people whose current day chieftaincy system was instituted by the white man because he needed a way to govern them in some sort of organised way. The white man had to install paramount chiefs for them so that his indirect rule could work.

It pays to know more about the country we call ours. Of course it gets us better informed, but besides that, our social story (both present and especially historical) is that interesting.

boy next tym if you don't HV any thing to say then just STFU.
wat point exactly are you trying to make with d rubbish you wrote Above?
jumping from one bush to anoda

1adewoye:
Which government supports your delusional biafran nonsense?

Bro relax.
you sound so pained and angry.
d fight for freedom is not for d Nigeria Government or d politicians benefiting from d Nigerian Gov.
It is for d Biafrans and d future of d next Generation of Biafra.

OK thanks. can you go to bed now. kids like you ain't supposed to stay up by now

eyeview:
President Buhari was in Cross River state to flag off the construction of the 260km super highway road project initiated by the state government.
But the saddest and most ironic thing was that accompanying the president to the PDP led government of Cross River was no other person that Rochas Okorocha of Imo state.
Its sad that Imo is a state that has been in the news lately for the deplorable state of its road (among other basic infrastructure)which the governor has totally ignored. In Imo state,both the federal and state roads are death traps and eye sore.
It is ironic that a PDP led state government will initiate a laudable project of 260km super highway that will attract the President to its flag-off and strolling sheepishly beside him is the president's APC member/governor who has nothing to flag off or commission in his own state.
Recently,the PDP in Imo state in a press statement stated that Rochas has abandoned the running of the state to his son-in-law while he's busy gallavanting round the federation in pursuit of his presidential ambition.
Imo state is indeed in trouble.

Well sorry to disappoint you, I have travelled the whole of Nigeria, its just few states that I have not visited so I know what I'm saying. You said you are in Aba and serve in Akwa Ibom meaning you haven't travelled yourself. For your information, I didn't school and serve in Akwa Ibom and moreover work takes me all over Nigeria so I have a broad knowledge of what I'm talking about.

If I wanted to be more detailed your likes will say the article is too long? Yes, I gave my own conclusion based on what I've seen, its a discussion, you might agree or might not agree. Saying that my drawing my own conclusion is wrong because I can't ask a question I don't have an answer myself!

Now which SS and SE state has public water supply? Can you compare hospitals in Aba or Umuahia with a hospoital in Kaduna? Seee North is developing at a rapid speed and SE and SS think they are still years ahead. We have government taps running in the North at least in some of the states. Which town in the SE and SS do we have that? Please I will like to know. You are saying Akwa Ibom ayaya based on what you saw. Where in Akwa Ibom did you serve.

I won't blame you, someone coming from Aba will call Uyo a heaven.

thomasthomas:
The igbos are a confused set of people in Nigeria. Today, they want Biafra, tomorrow they want Igbo Presidency. Isn't this funny?

Now the most annoying thing is they want to pull other people into their confusion. I just saw a thread about a protest in Akwa Ibom by IPOB; this is a fat lie. Do not bring your confusion to Akwa Ibom, do not try what you did in Port Harcourt in Uyo, we do not want to associate with confused people.

If the agitation is for the 5 south Eastern states I believe by now, Biafra would have been like Lesotho in south Africa but trying to drag South South States to the confusion will not work.

Follow confused Nnamdi Kanu at your own perile!
