If you think I am being hysterical, then you really do not understand what is happening.
fulani herdsmen are more deadly than isis !
Anyways I fail to understand your logical arguments to say my "notes" are "hysterical".
Story: Brian's house is burning, Brian calls for help, the next thing a guy who hasn't witnessed any burning of houses says brian is hysterical.
The day you will start using your brain properly instead of cheaply smearing what you don't understand, that day your future will be bright.
"One africa" can not be a unilateral thing. That is absolutely not what is being done here, rather what we have is much like the jewish state and the sudanese "right to return". This is an ethnic cleansing.
You sound like a comedian, are you related to Mr Ibu?
by the way Bleep ipob and oduduwa fanatics who lie so much that even genuin news is now looked at with suspicion.
My friends, a fulani operated genocide is upon you. Nigeria is now a land for the fulani to conquer, non-nigerian fulani have more rights (including right to carry ak47) than actual indigenous nigerians in nigeria.
When fulani kill or rape in the south, if they are arrested, they would be freed and COMPENSATED !
Fulani herdsmen are the world's second most deadly group after boko haram (deadlier than isis)
If you guys don't defend yourselves then you will be wiped out, that is the only logical conlusion to this.
Can we see this rating from the original source please?
Reading this tweet from Jake and realizing that it doesn't even cost that much to provide standard protection for all troops deployed!!
Egypt got 2000 MRAPS for $120 million!!
Like why can't we do the same thing?
That deal is not a purchase deal, so the $120m is not the true price tag of the MRAPS, Nigeria can not get those at that price.
Excess defense articles provided to partner nation at a reduced price (based on the condition of the equipment) or as a grant.
Partner nations pay for packing, crating, handling, and transportation (PCH&T), as well as refurbishment if applicable – EDA is “as is, where is”.
herdsmen should also help themselves by not carrying weapons about. How will people differentiate them from terrorists? And also the years of the conflicts they've had with farmers is coming back to haunt them. They will need to go extra miles to gain the trust of others. They should also be ready to make sacrifices. Only then will they be seen as victims of a common enemy. You cannot claim to be a victim and yet some among you are still destroying farmlands and quarreling with farmers because you have to feed your cattle.
Who told you herdsmen carry weapons? what do they need it for? the herdsman that sold meat to you this morning had weapons really?
Go back to that post, read it, digest it to understand who has weapon, I don't know how to communicate with people with comprehension problems.
If you have problems identifying actors in a conflict, what is the honorable thing to do?
Keep quiet!! till you get your facts, the challenge I have is that a crack head comes online to spew baseless nonsense he has no clue about, aided by a confused media, Aljazeera got to Lekki toll gate before Channels that own an office in Lagos, that's how useless your media is.
Aljazeera gave an update by 4am this morning with a live correspondent at Lekki toll gate.
Everything you've said is valid but let us also look at the plight of those who were forcefully conscripted to fight for the terrorists? Those whose family were abducted and who had to to at least protect their loved ones?
The kidnapped kids who were brought up and trained in the terrorists camps?
And if there's ever going to be an end to this war, there has to be a safe corridor for people who are willing to surrender and change their ways under reasonable conditions.
At the same time the soldiers shouldn't also be made to feel they were used and dumped. Their welfare should be of great importance to the country and they should be carried along as much as possible. In war, everyone is a victim.
And please note, there is a category of "terrorist" that are allowed into the operation safe corridor program. They screening is very thorough and most of those who go for the training are rejected and sent to detention camps to wait for a judge to sentence them. Also the requirement for being considered for the program is that the person must surrender willingly...... When was the last time NA even took prisoners?
I did a lengthy post on the workings of operation safe corridor when some crack heads insinuated they ed the army, the post is still there, a simple research will take you there.
People that have information seek for it, you can't vomit the opinion of a useless SM influencer then expect to be taken seriously.
All we can say for now is the perpetrators where bandits, probably terrorist who flew from the N.E to North Central. You guys are quick in tagging everything on Fulani.
Bandits are Fulani Militia linked to Ansaru which we know from 2013 are linked to AQIM.
The hit happened in Birnin Gwari who operates there?
I swear
Some times I don't just understand those making our decisions
Have you ever heard Fulani militia used IED in ambush attacks? this is a new threat, new development, the soldiers may not be aware of the Fulani Militia-Ansaru collaboration, hence they are beginning to copy boko techniques.
NAF will adapt & move on.

10 killed, 30 missing as Amotekun allegedly ‘ed hoodlums to attack Northerners’ in Oyo
At least 10 people have been killed, 70 sustained gunshots injuries and over 30 Northerners declared missing in a deadly attack on Sasa Market traders in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.
DAILY NIGERIAN gathered over 6,000 Northerners, mostly Hausas, are currently taking refuge at the residence of Sarkin Sasa, Haruna Maiyasin.
“I have over 6,000 displaced people packed in my house. Many people have been killed, while others injured,” Mr Maiyasin told DAILY NIGERIAN.
Witnesses said the crisis erupted on Thursday when a porter carrying a basket of tomato inadvertently nudged a Yoruba woman. The woman allegedly retaliated and organised a group of Yoruba thugs to avenge.
DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that after the fight, one of the thugs died in the hospital.
When the news of the death circulated, the Yoruba youths allegedly gathered and started attacking the Northern traders.
In a interview with DAILY NIGERIAN, the chairman of Sasa Market Traders, Usman Yako, said they informed the police immediately after the report of the death, but the police did not promptly respond to their call until the situation went out of control.
“We called the police to inform them about the issue, and possible break down of law and order, but they did not take action immediately until the situation deteriorated,” he said.
According to Mr Yako, when the operatives of the regional security outfit, Amotekun, came, they started shooting at Northern traders instead of protecting them from attack.
“When Amotekun came, they started shooting at Northerners. The hoodlums started setting houses ablaze, shooting and burning Hausa traders’ shops.
“It is apparent that it was a targeted attack on Hausas and other Northerners.
“The attack also spread to the Lagos-Ojo Expressway, which is not far from the market. Trailers belonging to Northerners were looted, burnt down, and the drivers slaughtered.
“We were invited to Government House yesterday (Friday), and two of us were delegated. Nothing was actually done to avert the crisis and safeguard our lives.
“We have so far counted 10 bodies in the hospital. Over 70 people sustained gunshot injuries. 30 people, including my own brother, are missing,” he added.
On Saturday, Governor Seyi Makinde imposed a curfew on the area and shut the market indefinitely.
A statement by Taiwo Adisa, the spokesman for Governor Seyi Makinde, indicated that the governor gave the order to forestall breakdown of law and order in the area.
The curfew is to run from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.
The statement warned residents of the affected area to go about their legitimate businesses peacefully, stating that anyone caught perpetrating violence will face the wrath of the law.
The same civil war sh!t where Northern region police ed hoodlums to kill igbos in the northern region.
Aburi was clear, because of Ethnic tensions, we don't need state police but a decentralized armed forces, this Amotekun is less than a yr old, here we are, history repeating itself.
BabaOwen:
A video shared online shows Some suspected Fulani herdsmen sharing AK-47 and Ammunition in the Bush for self-defense.
Who could not hear exactly what they were saying but the video shows some weapons in Carton and guns beside them.
According to reports, the Herders are getting ready to fight back as they are being evicted from the Bushes and forests in the southern part of Nigeria due to terrorism.
It bothers me how you call someone with stolen cattle or no cattle at all a herdsman are you ok?
"Herding" is a trade done by almost all tribes in the Savannah vegetation, I see more Edo herdsmen at my base than Fulani, those Auchi guys are into that trade big time, Yorubas etc, herdsmen are not the problem.
The problem is the Fulani militia, they don't own cattle, they steal it from herdsmen, they pose a threat to herdsmen whose cattle they steal than you who is kidnapped for ransome.
Fulani militia are not herdsmen they are Alqaeda linked terror group from the lower Sahel (Northern Sokoto, Katsina, Jigawa, Yobe & Borno).
With ongoing ops Barkane pushing down their brothers from the Sahel region, drought at some periods of the year, push them down South to create havoc.
Ansaru a splinter Boko haram that almost went extinct after their leader Mamman nur was killed has been revived by this group (FULANI MILITIA), those linked to Ansaru are aka Bandits, the rest are FM.
Ignorant people call them herdsmen, NO, they are not, they don't own cattle, they rustle from herdsmen. There have been few occassions where the cattle breeders association (Cattle owners) hired them to fight their battles but that was so in the past because they possess their own structure now.
The cattle owners (breeders association) is different from the herdmen, also different from the Militia, the only thing the last two share in common is "Fulfude" their central language.
Herdsmen need protection from these Militias more than us.
Ruga was a missed opportunity to protect the herdsmen.
This was explained to me by a herdsman that came to seek refuge, I did a little research & the facts came together, the biggest problem we have in this country is media, they are as useless as a Sanitary towel.
Cabotage laws that qatar lost was different from the stipulated International Rivers Laws
Do you know what even make a river international.. let's start with that first
Waste of time, what you should be explaining is why the land, sea & air blockade succeeded with Qatar despite intl rivers law.
That's the only logical card you need on the table right now!!
International water law developed quite slowly until the middle of the 20th century. Treaties that focused on water allocation and use issues primarily gained momentum after 1930 (McCaffrey, 2013).
There are two highly relevant international water conventions for transboundary water cooperation. The 1997 Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses, and the 1992 UNECE Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (which recently broadened its hip beyond the EU to a global audience).
The soft law of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provides further impetus to the management of transboundary water resources directly through Goal 6.5: implement integrated water resources management at all levels, and through transboundary cooperation as appropriate, and indirectly through Goal 16: promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development.
You are too emotional... That river be it Niger of Obuaku is an international river. ....
All nations agree that only riparian nations—nations across which, or along which, a river flows—have any legal right, apart from an agreement, to use the water of a river. ... International water law helps enable nations to peacefully share a river basin and the waters it contains.
International water law helps enable nations to peacefully share a river basin and the waters it contains. The UN Convention (an international agreement) embraces several principles that will likely become the guiding force in managing international watercourses and resolving water conflicts
Im not emotional, I stick to facts, River Niger in Nigeria & her tributries are Nigerian EEZ protected by intl maritime laws, which gives Nigeria the right of Sovereignty hence the legal capacity to define Cabotage, speak to your legal adviser if you have one. Wikipedia won't help you much, trust me.
Every conscript isn't a volunteer... Most deserters are conscripted
Volunteers rarely desert
Let's talk about the Internation Rivers

If Nigeria can choose not to allow Biafra enjoy the Nun and Forcados, then it follows that Ethiopia could do the same to Egypt.
The Nile flows Northward
I don't care about your examples, I spoke from the position of "Cabotage laws" Sovereign nations decide their Cabotage laws not the tresers.
GCC countries blockaded Qatar not long ago by redefining their cabotage laws, very legal, Qatar lost in two courts to break even before Trump intervened. Speak facts pls!!
The honest truth is that you can't get Biafra through negotiations or any other peaceful solution. No reasonable nation or government will willingly do that. The only way you can get what you are clamoring for is through war, the casualties will be crazy and you might still not get what you want.
The only other alternative is to lobby other regions to seek for restructuring, return to true federalism and more autonomy for constituent unit.
The earlier you realize that there won't be a peaceful way out of Nigeria the better.
War is no guarantee either, it if we look deep in history, even if Biafra defeats Nigeria (very laughable to say the least), UNSC will still ratify their territorial integrity.
Lebanon: Hezbollah defeated the government of Lebanon, UNSC recognized the defeated government, hezbollah moved to control parliament but never the country.
China: Taiwan defeated China, UNSC refused to recognize them based on Chinese alliances, the UNSC seat remained with China including her territory.
Mali: Anzawad defeated the Malian government, UNSC refused to recognize Anzawad.
I can do this all day, Biafra is a bloody waste of time.
You will not understand... That was the question that the former Nigerians asked then... In biafra war until they saw biafra been ed by nations like , Isreal etc
My dear, the world has changed and even if nothing, the strategic importance of the oil wells in Biafran region would make countries like china , Isreal listen to them ... St least you know igbo have always had a strategic relationship with Isreal years now
Apart from that... The EU is still mad at UK and theey would jump at any opportunity to see that UK is humbled ... Trust me
It depends on the handlers of biafra what they would sell
Let's stop the emotions... The truth is that Nigeria must start negotiating and pacifying the igbo... Majority of Igbo are tired and trust me ...
We don't pray for hostility because if it comes....
So let's engage and gragra no dey win anything... It hasn't won BH , Niger Delta Militants and hasn't stopped IPOB either
Make we dey learn naaa
pls go and study for your Jamb, uve said more than enough BS already.
Isreal has a strategic importance to America and Europe.... .
Hong Kong enjoys it privileges because the US wants to ruin China...
Tell me what importance does the Igbo land has to world powers.. No world power both west and east would want to trade the control it has over Nigeria for the IPOB.
The only u may get is from Ghana is S.A
Well, I think you are right in way but let's dialogue... I strongly believe in dialogue
Hong Kong is small as why chinese haven't invaded them... Because they know that they would get
Isreal is small why haven't the whole arab invaded them ... They saw what happened to them during yom kippur .. and that is
So as of , trust me the igbo have a huge Diasporan connection and they are in high places...but we don't want war! I personally would go for a peaceful resolution of this conflict there should be a middle ground here ....but will Nigeria seek dialogue ?
Also... Let me tell you about international , people wood always a cause depending on how you sell it... If nations could biafra then trust me with many igbo in Diasporan at high places gaining wouldn't be an issue and also ... The black market arms dealers I'm the Eastern Europe would jump at the offer
So as of trust me these guys got it.... How did Kanu stay on Isreal and overseas ? Ask yourself that question yet he hasn't been repatriated
My position is simple.... I don't ask for war and I don't want war but the greatest mistake any war strategist would make is to under estimate the enemy
We saw that in biafra war when they said that it would be a police action ... Yet the war lasted 3 hole years with heavy casualties on both sides ...
You don't get it, once an internation river gets or opens to ocean, there is law allowing all the litoral nations to access the water ways... It's called the Danube laws and cabotage laws...
That is the only thing that matters and I don't think Nigeria has the right to stop them ...the way egypy can't stop those in lower nile from accessing it and what is Nigerian territory
Bonny is an igbo speaking island, Opobo is an igbo speaking place and these are very close to Atlantic ....and you can't stop the biafra from accessing that ...trust me , if that happens that would be a renewed confrontation and we don't want that
What they need is concession ...and from the look of things Rivers would definitely align with igbo becuase 70% of the people there are igbo speaking from Ikwerre to Ndoni ,from Opobo to Ndoki
East, west North and South what we need is peace and equity
Let's work towards peace
Cabotage laws are designed by host countries not foreign tresers, if Nigeria so chooses that Biafra will not enjoy the Nun & Forcados rivers which are the Tributaries of Onitsha Niger river, then that becomes our Cabotage law, Ethiopia doesn't enjoy the Nile river more than Egypt allows, never!!
You can read the battle of the Nile to get a clue.
Bonny & Opobo understand igbo because of historical trade relationships, that does not make them Igbo speaking, Bonny are Ibani people not igbo while Opobo is Defaka.
Its shocking the infantile logic an igbo man applies, because a person speak a similar language doesn't mean he is one of you, do You expect England to accept you simply because you can write & speak English??
The greatest army on the world is the army of volunteers not conscripted ... Trust me the army ESN has are volunteer and theey are ready to die for an ideology and trust me these. Guys seem to be more cordinated from the way things are and theey are using. Guerilla approach we have seen how they engaged the army in Orlu and the impact
My dear, USA saw this in Vietnam
The only option left for Nigeria is negotiate... that oil installation and oil pipeline through the length and breath of South Eastern Nigeria and if they can hurt these critical installation, the nation would be on their knees
Trust me.... They have learnt a whole lot of lesson from their war weary fathers on the 1970s....
So the best thing is negotiate with them or Pull out
Can Nigeria afford the new hostilities ? The answer is no... CAN ESN afford the new hostility considering the Diasporan funds .... Yes
But do we need this hostility ... No
All Nigeria need to do is be fair to igbo and give in
Who told you Vietnam didn't conscript their soldiers? even US the aggressor used draft lotteries to conscript soldiers, every conscript is a volunteer depending on the nature & duration of the war.
Vietnam had volunteer units like every other under dog in a protracted conflict, the rest of your Bifra hype is a pile of cow dung, your doubts will soon be cleared.
Landlocked.... Who told you that igbo land is landlocked .... I laugh ! With access to sea from two sides, Onitsha and obuaku blue sea
Ethiopia and Rwanda are landlocked and theey are far better run than Nigeria in all ramification
The best economies in europe Luxembourg, Switzerland, lichtenstein and Austria are all landlocked and better run
So trust igbo they would be better run... Stop begging for unity... They are not your gods they want to go let them go
lol, this guy must be from Hungary, you accessed a sea through Onitsha? lol, even God that created Onitsha a river will shudder at your mis-interpretation, there is nothing like Obuaku blue sea in Igbo land. They would've used it to evade the 1968 blockade during the civil war.
Onitsha river (River Niger) opened to the sea through the Niger delta, far from igbo land, that leaves Biafra at the mercy of Niger delta, we already know the views of the ND with the IPOB massacre at Obigbo.
Speaking of Landlocked countries in Africa, Of 16 Africa’s landlocked countries, 14 of them are ranked “low” on the Human Development Index (HDI), a statistic that takes into factors such as life expectancy, education, and income per capita.
Goodluck to Landlocked Biafra, they will just the statistics of poverty in Africa, I saw where you mentioned Switzerland, lol.
You expect Biafra run by a lunatic like Kanu to end up like Switzerland? goodluck again!!
Do you know that I am igbo.... The truth is that Kanu is more popular than any politician and he is accepted... He doesn't want to contest an election.. he has the people he wants biafra and that is what it is... Unfortunately for Nigeria they are now armed...
Can Nigeria fight war in two fronts .. North East and South East
Mate, you totally misinterpreted section 7 of the Armed Forces Act 2004.
Haba, try good habit, if you dont understand something, ask, instead of bad habit, attack writer and hope he defends himself by explaining what you wish to understand
I have full copy and read long ago, the Armed Forces Act Chapter A20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
We reviewed complex sections of interest with fellows in defence sector and constitutional lawyers.
You failed to make any interpretation mate, you only made a noise that nobody benefited from.
Now to help you interpret what you find confusing on CDS role in Nigeria's DHQ.
You misinterpreted legal provisions of Part III sect. 7 sub-sect 1, 2 & 3. It says:
"Chief of Defence Staff shall, subject to general direction of the President and National Assembly, be vested with day to-day command and general superintendence of the Armed Forces.
Not withstanding, the President may make regulations as to the Service Chief in whom command over the respective service is vested;
Those regulations made under this section may provide for the duties, functions and powers of the Chief of Defence Staff and Service Chiefs.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nigerian constitution boldly says duties functions powers of CDS are subject to directions of the President and regulated by the President, meaning he no longer has any role that the President takes away and prefers to give that role to others as in COAS CAS CNS to perform.
This is where you did not understand, causing your mistake.
Also this is how practically and traditionally all Nigerian Presidents subject and regulate CDS role into istrative + operational as I said, while field command of combat regiments, even procurement of equipment are always given to COAS CAS CNS, because constitution allows it to be done so by the boss of the CDS, Mr. President.
Next time when you read laws, try read complete sections, sub-sections and clauses that interpret each provision so that you avoid this type of legal mistake + misunderstanding.
Enjoy your evening mate.
First, I referred him to the armed forces act because he claimed the office of the CDS is ceremonial, which was a s!lly statement, I was expecting you to show us from the law where it said so, you ran away from the common sense issue then drifted to interprete what you don't understand.
The fact that CDS is operational at the direction of the president does not make him ceremonial its a childish thought process, every service chief is operational at the behest of the president because the constitution & AFA conferred on the president the position of "COMMANDER IN CHIEF", I wrote the later in bold because you have clearly spoken like someone that doesn't know what that means.
Since the CDS is vested with the day to-day command and general superintendence of the Armed Forces by law, without that clause, he will be more powerful than the President.
Speaking of deployments & procurement, Agwai & Ogbemudia did it under OBJ as CDS, stop talking like a teenager.
