From ROSE EJEMBI, Makurdi
Speaker, Benue State House of Assembly, Hon. David Iorhemba has raised alarm over what he described as the incessant killing of his people by Fulani herdsmen. Iorhemba who represents Guma State Constituency in the Assembly, told newsmen yesterday that 30 Tiv people died in the October 14 invasion of six villages within his constituency by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
However, in a swift reaction, the Benue State Police Command through its spokesman, Daniel Ezeala, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) insisted that only one person was killed in the said attack. Armed with gory pictures of corpses of persons who were allegedly murdered in the mayhem, the Speaker who decried the wanton destruction of lives and property of his people by Fulani herdsmen claimed that some Nigeriens were even hired to wipe out the Tiv race.
Speaker Iorhemba lamented that some of the corpses of those who were killed in the attack had decomposed to the extent that they had to be buried in mass graves, which according to him, was against the Tiv culture. While calling on the Federal Government to immediately set up Presidential Committee of enquiry to look into the Tiv /Fulani crisis, Iorhemba also advocated that the National Assembly should define the scope of terrorism in the country.
He recalled that on August 8 and 9, this year, Fulani herdsmen stormed Kardarko Market in Nasarawa State and killed eight Tiv people without any provocation. “I ask why these senseless killings of my people? Is it that the Tiv people are no longer needed in Nigeria? I think I may have to take this matter to the United Nations if this progrom continues.”
The lawmaker who indicted some traditional rulers in Nasarawa State for allegedly habouring the Fulani herdsmen to unleash terror on the Tivs, also recommended that monarchs should be cautioned and disciplined if found guilty of aiding and abetting the killings. Meanwhile, PPRO Ezeala told Daily Sun in a chat that only one person was killed in the attack, stressing that normalcy had returned to the area as both the Nigerian Army and the Police immediately stepped into the matter and had continued to keep surveillance on the affected communities. The police spokesman called on all those villagers who fled the affected areas to return to their homes, assuring them of the safety of their lives and property.
Hahahaha mr speaker your crying because fulani kill only 30 pleople in your commuity and your asking weather your Tiv race still needed in nigeria that some people wan’t to wipe out your Tiv race. This is just the beging of one nigeria with fulani which you tiv consipary and wickedly determing to wipe out the igbo race resulted in selling out bakassi. Nemessis will contineous to carch up with your genaration. ONE NIGERIA WE STAND.

If I may ask; why all these killings in this Country, Nigeria, that has been abundantly blessed by God? I pity those behind all these incessant killings because, there rewards are ETERNAL PUNISHMENT!
You aren’t seen nothing yet! Fulani will soon roast of you like suya; you thought your conspiracy will eventually wipe out the Igbo, but you failed woefully.
This idiots re nt true Igbos u guys should 4get them

Whatever a man sow,so shall he reap. Whosoever lived by the sword shall be killed by the sword. Those who conspired to wipe out the blessings of Nigeria (IGBOS) must surely hug transformer.

Only 30ty pple killed nd u want to go to united nation to report pogron but wen in 1945 ur pple conived with fulanis hausas to kill over 50thousand igbos in d north under d watchin eye of gowon u were hapy doin it together i must remind u dat an action is about to be filed in world court over biafran 3milion death just as d jews did to germans nd they paid 850bilion dolar damages for genocide against jews nd dats why achebe published his book there was a country
My brothers in the East, God had a purpose through Gowon and,it was to keep his word alive in a country called Nigeria. The plain truth is that today, without the Easthern brothers in Nigeria, there wont b a religion called Christianity. Bcos, these beasts called hausa/fulani would have exterminated christianity in this country. Pls, kindly forget d past and feel for ur brothers in d North, this is my pea before u. We should remember, if we dont forgive God wont forgive us neither. Love u all.
Jmaes,Amos3,agaotere,prime johnudoh and others like you,pls don’t be surprised at the comments of Igbos in any forum because you haven’t seen anything yet.We can only support anything that will tear the country apart as long as it doesn’t affect the old Eastern Region.The tivs,biroms,junkuns,igallas,zango katafs ,etc who joined Hausa-Fualani to kill 3 million Igbos in 1966 to 70 cannot escape the wrath of God.This is pay back time for them and you expect us to go join them to fight their masters.Those preaching forgiveness and christianity today did not remember all these virtues when their fathers joined hausa to kill their feloow christian brothers-Igbos.One guy said it is only the few christians in the North that help Igbos to stay in the North,pls don’t help us again we sincerely do not want any sane Igbo man to live in the North except Abuja,till we destroy the place.
Finally,those preaching for peace in Nigeria should forget it there will never be peace in Nigeria until the country is divided.Ndigbo are eternally committed to leaving the nation-nigeria and the only solution is for you people who don’t like Igbos to join us tell others to allow Igbos to go with their trouble and self-centredness.I don’t know why you should keep forcing an Ethnic Group that you hate and feel they are the source of all the problems in your states to remain with you in the same country-Nigeria.We will never support one nigeria and get it into your heads,don’t expect any reasonable suggestion from us on how to have peace in your God forsaken country nigeria but after GEJ’ s Presidency you will see hell.
Plain truth is right, I also know that Gowon would have achieved that without the genocide its not late now for us to forgive and move on, our Christians brethren in the middle belt and the whole of Noth must not be left alone to fight this fight of faith.
@mat: get ur fact very well. It was in 1965 and 1966 before d biafra war in 1967. Again it was Germany dat killed jews and not vice versa.
@mat: get ur fact very well. It was in 1965 and 1966 before d biafra war in 1967. By 1945 we hav not gotten our independent.
please the people that fled don’t comeback fulani is waiting to attack again remember they are above the law ,police will tell you we are on the top of the situation .
You have said it all.
30 Tiv men equivalente to one person according to nigeria police .
Plz tiv people make una declare sesession so that i can avenge my family’s colossal human lost by enlisting into nigerian army. Gudmornin mr speaker.
Okwudilii, justin,mat and all other igbos that ar now happy b/cos tiv people were killed, let me put some sense into your brains as all of u put together don’t have little sense.can u pple tell how many igbos were killed this year alone by the fulanis in the south? How many igbo women were being raped by fulanis in the south every time? Can’t u see how most of u resemble them ? Useless animals, is it not the minorities that ar protecting u in the north? How many of u in the north have been abandone by ur fulani parents? Bastard fulani natives that’s y u ar cheering them we know the original igbo boys in the north who don’t behave like u rats.
james angulu please go learn how to talk, u talk like a baby

I dey laugh like BABA FELA, MIDDLE BELTANS. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING BECAUSE ITS PAY BACK TIME, THAT’S JUST GENESIS, BY THE TIME THEY APPROACH TO MALACHI, UNA BODY GO TELL UNA WELLY WELLY. BHUHAHAHAH AYAKATA!
why is’t that Fulani/Hausa pple are doing such kind of this foolishness in north ?fulani are travilas they are a friend to any tribe before ,but Hausa pple Initiated fulani by doing evil things ,but no bleme them is what there Preachers are teaching them ,aur Bible did not teach us abaut voilence but peace ,but Qur,an teach abaut jihat ,thats fighting /killing ,that if u kill a person who is not a muslem,u enter the kingdom of God ,but there teachers did not allowed them to read there book ,but we christian u go Church with your holy Bible ,pst ,is reading u are reading too ,so no body ill ask u to do evil ,
We are steping into matter and it will soon be over
Those celebreting over incessant killings of Tivs’re doing demselves.Those commentators who claim 2 be igbos dont know wat dey’re talking abt.De igbos’re self-centred,selfish,arrogant,cheats,unpatriotic,indisciplined set of race dat sees no other tribe in country like dem.u guys wanted 2 secede out of selfisness&greediness jxt 7yrs after independence,u were floored shamefully.De Tivs’re peace-loving&law-abiding dat’s why we calling on fed. Govt 2 intervene.so,boys mind ur biz.in dat ur east.
It seems Igbo folks on dis forum are self-centerd, it doesn’t pay. U guys jst ‘ve to shun bitterness.
Haba , Mr speaker, Your people are needed in one Nigeria,who do you think the fulanis will use to text the efficacy of their new charms and weapons ?Natives of the benue- plateau of course .
Pls, irrespective of the fact that this Tiv peopl hv wronged d BIAFRANS in the past, lets pray 2 God 4 his great intervention on their behalf. Lets nt pay evil 4 evil, dats nt our belief as Christians
In One Nigeria we stand but this northern elements have crossed their boundaries. If we use blood to keep this nation one; what do we stand to gain? Tell me
Igbos’re not recognised in anything in dis country,based on their self-centredness&I-too-know attitude.4 now nothing 4 dem,dey shld mind trading&4get abt governance or commenting on govt issues.ok!
To long doesn’t make right whether Igbo or tiv been killed it is blood that was shed the action of Fulani must condemn by all let government find a way out of it
Helo.am a middlebelter that lives in the east.I have discovered that igbos who ave not traveled out do not understand Nigeria.I prefer to deal with igbos or chat with the ones that have lived in the North or elsewhere.
Fulani r killn TIV bc der r nomadic, let dem com and stay in one place and fight, their hit and run style is what v bn defeatn d great TIVS but let me assure u, one day monkey go go market i no go com back.

Tivs (Thieves) , this is just a tip of the iceberg, when u guys were matching down to the east and shouting on top of ur voice” One Nigeria” and killing innocent Igbos, u guys never knew that what goes around comes around. This is time for ur own pogrom. Igbos are now watching and smiling .
A reasonable Ibo man/woman will not talk like that. we have insecurity problem in Nigeria and this should be a cause of worry to all Nigerians. Today is the Tivs in Nasarawa and Benue who knows what will happen tomorrow? I pray for peace in our country Nigeria
one Nigeria every body is crying now when the hero saw that there is noting like one Nigeria in the mind of orders Nigerians north and west came together to kill igbos frm 10yrs to the oldest igbo man and woman now let me ask why others a crying now only 30 goat in the name of people ur cry for Wat in one Nigeria we sand in one Nigeria we end it
one nigeria is just a dream, you can not forcefully keep a disunited people together through blood, for how long will this blood continue to flow? one by one, every segment of this country will come to the realisation that we were not meant to be one and by then and only then, OJUKWU will be justified and BIAFRA will be recognised. watch out!
The igbos in this forum are really self center, it seems that they don’t understand what is going on in their own terrain! How many Igbos that were killed in their farm in Enugu and Ebonyi state. If they have finished with the Midle Belt as you( igbos) prayed, they will definitly come after you. The incessance ritual killing, kidnapping, robbery and baby production clinics companies were handiwork of Igbos. So wetin person neva see for Igboland, autocratic.
Let me ask just one question. These so called Fulanis where are they from? Don’t they have a place? Why is it that they take delight in killing people everywhere they go. Its like they are beasts. In the east, south, west and north the same story. Its time to treat any Fulani man arround you as a terrorist haba aa what kind of peaple are they? I blame people who accomodate them. They are not worthy to live among people. Deseart is their place, let them go back to their root,pls.
James Angulu , your are big funali/tiv cow this can’t happen in Igbo land , you can ask ur funali brothers ,if they try it we will show them our color once again which you know we know better than them. we don’t waste time to act . if boko haram are not cowards why not try south east or west of niaja
No true Igbo son will post those idiotic comments, Fulani scavegery must end in this country. This is the time for all of us to unite to put a stop to this blood sucking vermines from the Timbuktu Desert. Those people wont stop untill they exterminate the whole christians and aborigines of the North. We must confront those evil bastards who feeds on human flesh and blood. Those worthless animals can not continue to butcher our people like their Ram and Cows.
time to talk senes to some of u;that unfortunate war was a war of eggo between Gowon and Ojukwu history tells that; the only individual or group to say who fougth for true nationalism was Nzogu Kaduna group and Gidion Okah may their souls rest in peace; Amen; Nzogu was the one who discovered Housa/Fulani and Arabs intends long before now but were sold away for personaliy sake; That is bad away;the middle belters are capable of defending them selves and self determination; from southern kaduna across through plateau;nasarawa Benue Taraba; kogi; kwara; the Ibos in the north knows that without the christhains in the mentions states they wont be able to live in the north; Advice: Ibos kill them selves more than they are kiled out side to criminalities this is a concern to us christhains who belives that Ibos are the the back bone of Nigeria christhainity; Never reoice that your christhian brothers are been killed dairly by un circumcised phllistans
Dear Prime, I don’t know how old you were during the biafran war or whether you had been born then. If so, you would have noticed how the same christians of the north joined these barbarians called Fulanis to kill the christian innocent igbo children, women, old and young for an offence that was not in any way theirs. That Nnzeogwu and co executed a coup, had nothing to do with those 3 million innocent igbos killed. Chris de Burg sang a song and said ” There is time for everything. Time to sow and time to reap; Time to cry and time to jubilate; Time to act and time to be paid back. Yesterday the people of Benue and Plateau acted, slaughtering their christian brothers of igbo land for the treacherous Fulanis, and jubilated with them to have killed more than 3 Million of the Igbos, your supposedly christian brothers. Then, when the igbos cried, what they got was jubilation and mocking from you, their brothers. The world revolves. Today just as Chris de Burg sang, it is time for you to be paid back; and the same barbaric Fulanis, for whom you killed your brothers have turned round to kill you people same way you did the Igbos. What an irony of life. Call it nemesis.
However as christians, we are concerned that these barbaric nincompoops are killing you people and we waiting for the slightest provocation by them to show them the new igbo man. Thanks to God that there will be no more Britain, Egypt and the arab world to run to. The problem is whether you people the Benues and plateaus not still align with the Fulanis again betraying your christian Igbo brothers. But before you do, let me post here, what Ahmadu Bello said in 1960 and I quote;
“This New nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools, and the south, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future.”
(Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto in THE PARROT of October 12, 1960) and the AFRICAN COURIER MAGAZINE of Feb/March 2012
My Benue brothers, now you could see why the Fulanis deceived you to fight and kill your innocent brothers of the east and why they have turned round to kill you people now. They say “a word is enough for the wise.”
MY brother ALU.I appreciate ur level of inteligence in this contribution; Nigeria was in darkness in that 60s that allows every goes like in country of blind men one eyed man is a king; we have know our comon enemy; it is unfortunate it happened after we have lost over 3millions christhains mostly of Ibo extract; let me tell some thing today; this hausa/fulani arab slaves were all over middle belt conscripting our children of couse christhains into their army to fight our fellow christhains ignorantly; i hate to remember it; if you go to our area this is no compound that did lost some body to that trickesh war; sir have said all this; there is need for us stand up and face our comon enemy; i have since left far north since 2003 HAVEN LOST A HOUSE to one their killing riot; my brother do you that large number of our ibo brothers still prefer to stay ih far north claliming is more secured than east; this is the dilemal we are facing now; God forbid if northern muslims give christhains 2yrs to leave do you know that our ibo brothers will still be traped in millions? There is need to do some thing urgently;
Mr speaker should know that murder is not a crime in Nigeria unless he want to change it,but doing so,he will first of all put all his role models in jail first.I hate to see people die though,we do not empathize with each other in this country.
The blood of Abel cried in the wilderness and Cain knew no peace. In the same vein the blood of the innocent souls massacred in cold blood during the genocide termed ‘Araba’ is still crying in the wilderness called Nigeria, and no one is paying heed. There will be no peace until these souls are pacified and set free.
The Germans at the end of the 2nd world war accepted responsibility for the atrocities committed by the Nazis , and genuinely paid penance by observing rituals, and setting up various monuments to mark the remembrance of all the Jews killed. Till date, these ceremonies are still carried out. Just look where that took Germany today. It has grown to become a leading economic power in Europe. Until Nigeria takes responsibility its crime against humanity, we shall all keep suffering from instability, and bloodletting which seem to have become a way of life in the nation.
I think we Igbos will start to see things from the prism of our religion, we must forgive and forget and show some empathy to our brothers being persecuted for their faith and belief in christ Jesus. We must rally to defend them from the rampaging Islamic fundamentalists seeking to wipe them out of their ancestral homelands., the war currently raging in Nigeria has religious colouration, those uncircumcise philistines want to wipe out God’s people and expand their evil doctrine which is centered on hate and extremism. We must draw the attention of the whole world to this progrom cum ethnic cleansing being pepertrated by those fulani islamists masquarading as herdsmen. The Igbo remains the Backbone of Christianity in Nigeria and must serve as rallying point to curtailing the excesses of those fulani marauders. The mistake of the past must not be allowed to continue to be in our way to forging the desired unity.
gowon vs biafra part one tous jour
Igbo u‘re too pompous that is why u don‘t know anything let me remind u if u don‘t know u can‘t exist with out the aid of minoritie like tiv people,the north in general the fulani and it slave people are afraid of the tiv race ,pls don‘t speak like the passing of breese, go back to history then u will know what i‘m saying, the whole of fulani race in the world can‘t dear to confront my people in the battle field i swore to anything, they‘re cowards who hide and fight that aside, let say securities should stay out of line in between tiv/fulani crisis we shall hear who will cry for defeat,the case of tiv people in nasarawa state is political because the people there‘re afraid of tiv domination that is why, they incite the fulani to cause mayhem inbetween so they can acheive there political strenght, even in taraba is like that,we know our problem and we‘re not begging u igbo to help us so put that into ur sticking skull brain.
If the igbo man will see every victim of brutality as paying back for what happened over 45years ago and we are asking for support to 2015 then imagine who will support us more over we need each other now more than before and if we are calling for division, can somebody explain to me how this can be achieved considering our religious, tribal,zonal,political bias at all levels. I love greewhitegreen, how about you?
Hahahaha
Igbos no dey luk 4 trble.bt if dey start
very soon i will send BH to makudi 4 total showdown & TIV ethnic cleansing. I DE LAUGHOOOO…
Belive it or nt dis country is in serious trouble..dese tinz get worse by d day 2d extent dat even sm papers and media houses ar tired or reportin them…people ar killed hia in naija evryday..d first bomb blast and killings in d north shocked nigerian 2dia bone marrows bt 2day it is no longa news…infact killings n b.blast has bcm a culture in nigeria..i.e a way of life…
Those animals called fulanis don’t suppose live among human being but surely one day God will intervene.
Mr Senator you better move now before you see your people no more, dont wait for federal government to look into your matter before doing anything. Definitely they will do nothing, if United Nations is the best option pls kindly do it now to save your people from those killers.
@aodoaver you said you don’t need igbo help. Of coures we(ndi-igbo) will not help people who connive with fulani and gowon to commit genocide against us on 1966-1970. But let me tell you the war have come to your door step very soon fulani will start throwing bomb in your benua state to islamis your state, so it is time to fight your own. Remember benua is still among northern state.
@James angulu ure the biggest fool that ever live in Nigeria, what was the Tivs activities and actions during the civil war in Nigeria. u better wake up and ask the right questions…… Tivs owned the Noble Igbo race sincere Apologies…. enjoy the nemesis of the fulani /hausa ur tribe brought upon yourself
God father please help my country
It’s not time to laugh at any body,the speaker is voicing out so govt can come to their aid and i think every reasonable person or leader that have good intrest of it’s people at hand should do so.if there is any thing we the commentators should do is pray for a stop to all these madness in the air.people no longer place any value to human life in Nigeria. May God help us.
Prophet muhammed or baboom u call urself bokoharam can‘t try to bomb a fowl in makurdi there will be anarchy in this country.
That is true; no housa/fulani will remain in Benue; their sponsors; buhari, babagida and atiku can not help them and they know;
I think is a high time we (Igbos) forgive and forget about the past (civil war) and joing hand with our brethren and fight these uncircumcised philistines called fulanis! pls lets not be recalling back…ok because what is happening in Nigeria now is no more political but religious. lets wake up before we ‘re drown….thanks
@james Angulu, Agatere., 30tiv-1 fulani cow by 30fulani x 900tiv then is good morning d time evening we are sorry. But tiv ppls i beg u, U don’t under stand. Go back 2 grand mama if she can tells u true story after 2world war ur boys/men went war with British 2fight German army never come back. Ur chief haird we Igbo we started making children 4u tiv just look yr ur mirro big brother trust igbo man their started hammer d tiv 4prediation haa! ha!! ha.
Iam so disgusted to read some of my Igbo brothers making unnecessary comment on this page, about the brutality of the foolanis, towards our middle belt christian brothers.Let me remind you, since the end of the civil war, the Hausa/foolanis had callously killed more than 20,000 Ibos. Have you ever heard that the Tivs, jukuns, the gwaris, biroms, katafs,or any other core middle Beltan, had ever attacked us? We live in large numbers with them in their towns and villages. Infact, they are our true brothers and sisters in the north of Nigeria. We share the same religion, and we inter marry.What happened during the should not be used to judge the present. We are now all wiser.
@james Angulu, Agatere., 30tiv-1 fulani cow by 30fulani 30×30 900tiv then is good morning d time evening we are sorry. But tiv ppls i beg u, U don’t under stand. Go back 2 grand mama if she can tells u true story after 2world war ur boys/men went war with British 2fight German army never come back. Ur chief haird we Igbo we started making children 4u tiv just look yr ur mirro big brother trust igbo man their started hammer d tiv 4prediation haa! ha!! ha.
Who are we to judge.. God alone can do that. God! We need peace in NIGERIA!
Nkwe sam, now i know, u‘re a nonentity and illetrate who don‘t know his left and right.
It is clear that Hausa/fulanis did not fight or witness war at all.It is the middle belt that teamed and betrayed their Igbo Christian brothers. But we must forgive over the killing of igbos during biafra war.Of course we all can see that our only enemies in the country are the hausa/fulanis.Let us join hand together and destroy these cancer worm hausa/fulanis and form a better country where tigerous and animaricious being like fulanis/hausas would be absent.We are brothers.Let us berry the hatchet
My fellow igbo brothers,let 4get d past and pity our fellow christians in d north,let us feel as they feel
mr. speaker, i am sorry for what you are going thru now both physical and spiritual. but i think the govt can’t do anything. the govt of the day doest listen especially when it is call minority, bakasi can tell u that. there is sth you will send in their midst, all their cows will turn mad, and fight them.a stranger cant overpower the owner of the land.those enemies circled the govt of the day.if to say you have oil in your area, the russians will supply arms buy stolen oil from you.just as the Arabs arms those infidels.
It is really a shame when people fail to view issues from an altruistic point of view, Nigeria belongs to all us and genuine rather than political and or selfish interest is only what is needed to move this nation forward. The movement for Biafra was at best political and at worst selfish which The Almighty God himself had to resist. Just that a Tivman wouldnot take laws into his hands. History about the Tivs tells. Any anybody who is not only preoccupied with kerekeche can visit the past to find this valid fact; who stopped Uthman Danfodio’s apostles from reaching and eventually capturing the western and Eastern Nigeria? Tiv people where also in the forefront in keeping this country 1 and since then, their involtenemt in fighting islamization and arabization of Nigeria has remained unwavered. Instead of being supported, our christian brothers in the area regarded as the bedrock of christianity are jeering and hailing the enemies and the cross.this is so sad
I have read all comments both from my fellow Igbo brothers and their counter part and now is high time i will make my own contribution and i hope both parties will buy my view becouse if they do it shall be well with us.First in as much i am not an advocate of grugdes my fellow Igbos brethren hold against the Middle Belterns for their roles they play with Housas,Yorubas or even some part of South South Region that joined forces to formed Nigeria Via Britain,Russia,Soudi Arabia,Egypt,North Africa,Arab World that massacared 3 Millions of Biafrans but i blamed Middle Belterns for not seeing the hand writing on the wall earlier before they joined Housa-Fulanis to commit genocide against innocent Biafran Children and their parents.I believe that if wat Middle Belt were passing today from the hands of those Uncircumcised Housa-Fulani Herdsmen did not occured they wouldnt havent been lamenting and crying the way they are doing right now,if Housa-Fulani and Middle Belt have been getting along Igbos would have been at the receiving end by now in the Middle Belt Region.The typical example of my argument was the latest popular memoir about Biafra by Prof Chinua Achebe.We all have seen they way some Yorubas that wasnt even born wen the Biafra/Nigeria Civil War erupted but becouse of their twisted,biase mind and hatred they always nurse against Igbos they started condeming Prof Chinua Achebe even wen their own illustrous son Wale Soyinka aggress on everything Prof Achebe wrote concerning the roles Awolowo plays on genocide against Millions of Biafrans.Now wat am i trying to say in assense,if Yorubas were to be mate thesame faith Middle Belt are facing against Housa-Fulanis they wount have mouth to call Prof Chinua Achebe names knowing fully well that they are at the mercy of Housa-Fulanis and watever Prof Chinua Achebe wrote wount stir controversies and Tongue wagging from Yorubas becouse they might be looking for Igbos again to Leverage their situation at that moment they needed it,now Middle Beltern hope you understood where i am driving at.So Middle Belterns if you people are really serious to tackle the Housa-Fulani encroachment and Jihad in your State then is high time you people must rise up to confront your various Middle Belt Governors for joining their Core Northern Governors Forum meeting to kick against State Police and Six Geo Political Zone thay aggreed on with their Southern Governor counterpart and that would have remedies all this Islamic expanssionism by the Core North against Middle Belt but Middle Belt Governors and their leaders sold you people out to the Core North as usual.So my Middle Belt friends is high to to rise up and take your destinies from the hands of the Core North
I cried like a baby when it dawned on me that our dear Gideon Orka had lost the battle to free true Nigerians from the clutches Hausa/foolanis. My dear brothers from the middle belt of Nigeria, do not despair. We shall overcome them by all means. Let us have common purpose and resolve to say never for those animals to rule our Nigeria any longer. IBO, TIV, KATAF,BIROM,IJAW, IBIBIO,EFIK, JUKUN, GWARI, YORUBA, Nupe people are not included because they are more Hausa than the Hausas. We shall from now start to work together for the sake of our future generations. Advise your governors todesist
Where is gowon now? let him bury his face in shame! gowon waz childish and visionless at 27yrs then. ojukwu,nzeogwu saw it coming then! gowon and awolowo kill more than 3million ibos. now, d mumu hausa and fulani bigots dat have no value to human life are afta gowon’s kinsmen! of late i never heard gowon d apostle of one nigeria boldly preach his gospel one nigeria again as he did in 1967.
Ppl think b4 u cmnt o.

where r u Gowon is time to save Ur people as hard man u called urslef in 1966/1970 apostle my ass this is small size of it
Tiv people are one of the most receptive tribes in Nigeria,and I stand to be corrected.I am from the east,but born in Makurdi with family properties all over Benue state,I must say that never have there been any anti Ibo crisis over there,except the tiv -jukun crisis of 2003 ,which no other tribe was affected.Now with my above submissions,without prejudice to what happened during the war,tivs are more receptive to Ibos than any other tribe I know of,and it will be bad for Ibos that dont know Benue state to make biased submissions here,I will rather wish that the south easterners should give there support to the tivs to fight this fulani herdsmen with there expansionist agenda,since we have one religion in common than let this feudal fulani-hausa zealots consume them as the have done to Plateau state.
Big Joe wat are you trying to portrays now by this your selfish,foolish and sentimental comment.Wen your kinsmen are crying and pleading for Igbos to know if they can forgive the Middle Belt for their partake with Housas and Yorubas in massacaring Millions of Igbos you are their puting fuel in already lake oe fire,it shows that you the Middle Belterns never learn from your present predicament thats why somebody like Big Joe could wrote such an expensive comment and even have the impetus to mentioned Igbo in it.Well i still repeat myself that Middle Belt are the course of their woes in the hands of the Core North and if you people doubt me then ask your verious Governors why did they still joyed the meetings of the Northern Governors Forum Meeting or even Arewa Consultative Forum wen they knnw that its obvious that agender of the meeting was all about how Core North will keep dorminating the Middle Belt and by making sure that those issues that should have benefited the Middle Belt like State Police,recognition of 6 Geo Political Zone was scrap in the new Constitutions.The Southern Governors were the people fighting for the betterment of the wellfair of the Middle Belt while the Middle Belt Governors that suppose to be at the fore front were busy dancing to the tune of their Core Northern Governors and licking their foot.The only Governor from the Middle Belt that didnt support the Northern Governors Forum meeting was Jonah Jang of Plateu State and till today it still beat my imagination how could the Governors from the Middle Belt extraction could do a thing like that knowing fully well the predicament and suffering their people were getting from the hands of the Fulani Herdsmen and Core Northern Islamic Expanssionism and Jihad against the Middle Belt.I still repeat it Middle Belt you people are the problames of yourself and unless you people didnt tackle it fast then you people are on your own becouse Igbos wount like to help those that doesnt helf themselves even though that Igbos are the pillars of the Christianity it wount make us to fight for the Middle Belt that doesnt want to first break themselves from bondage and shackles of the Core North.Heaven help those that help themself and as for we Igbos(Biafran Jews)we have forgave you people from the Middle Belt for wrong doing you people mated on us during the Biafra/Nigeria war

Am Truely surprised with the Ibo comments regarding the killings of TiV brothers. If you are claiming 3million ibos killed during biafra, how many people did you ibos killed during biafra? or is it the same Biafra that is causing the Hausa/Fulani killings and rape cases in the Ibo villages? or the mass killings of Ibo people in Dilimi jos? or the Ibo killings in Sabon Garin Kano by the hausas. if you are not going to wake up from ur sleep and face this as religious crisis then, you will have nobody to blame this time.
My father told me this story. I still shudder when I remember it. One morning during the Biafra/Nigeria civil war a Nigeria jet fighter (certainly piloted by a Benue/Plateau man) flew very low over a market called Ekezala near Anara in Imo state. The market was crowded with women and children. It opened fire with its guns on these women and children. It was flying low. It made several passes over the market, shooting and killing. No anti aircraft gun challenged it. So it kept shooting and killing these women and children. Some people said they could see the pilot, a Nigerian, laughing. Maybe it ran out of bullets. Then it disappeared, leaving hundreds of women and children dead or maimed for life. Mr Speaker please investigate this incident and take it along with you to the United Nations as you tell them how fulanis are killing Tivs.
Well time shall tell whether nigeria survive or splits come 2015 america prediction getting right.
my Ibo brothers, I preach for peace. we must learn how to forgive, for our lord and saviour JESUS CHRIST preaches forgiveness. though its painfull that those you tought are with you suddenly starbed you. the middle beltherns of that time are mainly uneducated and were easy to be deceived by the hausa/fulani people.this killings is not about tribe but has religious undertone, we Ibos must wake up and stand by our brothers,there is no time for blames on what happened in the past. we have been leaving with this people since after the war happily and many of them now are wiser. but my major concern is that I dont know why their Governors/ellites who sopposedly are educated still do attend Arewa/northern Governors meetings. pls my middle belthern brothers, you have to advice your ellites because they dont know what they are doing. the ibos are still afraid of you because of what your ellites are doing. I rest my case.
This is the begining the crucial war.The war OBAMA called Necesary war.Nigeria must fight another war but not against the Igbos, It should be the war of all against all.
well, boomerang or no boomerang. Thank GOD no one speaking here is GOD. Because the GOD i know instructed us to love and care for our fellow brothers. If some of you igbos think that the middle belt deserves what we are going through, then shame on you for calling yourselves Christians!!
i use to feel so sad about what happened to the igbos during the civil war bt after reading most of their comments its obvious most of them are no different from the hausa/fulanis who slaughtered them. i am no tiv but only a cold blooded person would rejoice over this killings,most of those killed were not even born during the war. keep it up igbos when the hausa/fulanis have finished killing the rest of nigeria they will give u biafra! clearly the same arrogance & foolishness that let ojukwu into thinkin he could solve his ppls problem by going into a war he was ill prepared to fight is still at work in this present generation of igbos
THANK GOD OOOH ALL THE CORNERS OF NIGERIA ARE NOW EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY DID TO IGBOS IN 1967, THIS IS JUST EARLY MORNING TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HATE IGBOS, IT ONLY REMAIN THE YERUBA BUT THEIR DOOM DAY IS FAST APPROACHING,
Where are the Wakus or Makus. The evil tht men do lives with them. I once lived in Gboko, every time, it’s tives against the Igbos in Tivland. Why are they crying now?

Let me tell u, must igbo business men have various dubious character which i know my people will not fold there hands to anyone found wanting,maybe u belong to that category.
GO ON WITH ONE NIGERIA.
U all seem to forget dat u are talking about a Tiv man.sooner or later u will hear the outcome. that very yogbo is the centre of our war heritage.just wait
It is unfortunate that the Igbo man finds an enemy in every section of the Nigeria society on the account of what they passed through during the civil war. Be it the South-south, South -west or middle-beltan. I do not think it is right for people to be pointing finger at Gowon, Awo Ken saro or even Ojukwu. It has happen, let us all learn from it,as human. As Middle-beltan, I want asure any person that care to hear, that we are capable of defending ourslves anytime any day forget the politcal propagada or whatever statement anybody must have made sixty years ago.
i have gone through all the comments and it is high time to make my own contribution which i view as panacea to nigeria problems is if it will cost a million lives to keep an entity is better to divide in peace and not in piaces
aoondova or wotever u are called ur people are more selfish and ignorant.let d killing of tiv continue.one nigeria we go, i dey laugh oooooooooooooooooooo.
