Nigerias brutal military has now commenced a campaign of revenge in benue to retaliate the Nigerian soldiers that were killed. Refugees are reporting to be streaming into Makurdi with accounts of hundreds of men executed in the region by presumably Nigerian military in uniform.

thus giving credence to the well known term "
Jungle justice".

Just as the Nigerian army did not hesitate to gun down igbo traders in Kano, under the direction of the lunatic Danjuma, they are now ready to commence their genocidal activities against the peoples of Benue.

The more one hears of the inhumanity and brutality of this Nigerian regime under Obasanjo and Danjuma, the more convinced I am that there is an eery similarity to the Nazi regime of Hitler.

Suffice it that you can hold peoples forcibly for only so long ie a finite duration, and the Nigerian regime will over the ensuing years up the ante of brutality and bestiality, the only role they know. Did anyone mistakenly think that the Nigerian military was designed to protect the peoples of Nigeria??

The good news is, that in the history of mankind all peoples who have strived and persevered for justice have eventually succeeded. In effect, our struggle continues, and we must believe that the good God himself will free us from our persecutors,
He will " SET US FREE TO WORSHIP HIM WITHOUT FEAR ,
HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS IN HIS SIGHT" " all the days of our lives."

Our struggle is as real today as it was yesterday, and it will continue until these foreign usurpers are permanently expelled from our land.

This land is the land of our fore fathers, given by Almighty God himself to us, no foreign man will lead our people.

This struggle will not end until like the blacks in south Africa, and the negroes of America got their emancipation, and the peoples of East Timor rid themselves of the beasts of Indonesia, we have succeeded. Right now we have one goal, one motive, one driving force, to expel the beast. If we can only make this resolution, and believe in its materialisation we have won half the battle.

God forbid, an igbo man standing still in hopelessness and defeat?

Before the coming of the British we were a people undefeated. Now they have forcibly placed us in a situation where they have seen fit for immoral islamic fundamentalists to not only steal our resources but to deprive us of our religious freedoms, and wantonly slaughter us for no reason.

What should we do? Is it to keep quiet like fools? Because we fear death, which will come unexpected in the night anyway, when the cowards unleash their soldiers in a peaceable mission to instead come and slaughter us.
Is this the life you wish your children and childrens children to be subjected to? A life where the state can guarantee no igbo man protection, rather they can guarantee you an early death by butchering, and the loss of all your property and human rights.

Surely death in its certainty is better than LIFE UNDER THE NAZI NIGERIAN MILITARY MACHINE?

So, peoples of Biafra, take heart, let nothing stop your resolution to rid yourselves of this evil, believe with all your strength, that there is only one possible outcome and that is VICTORY.

And then from the tents of the just will come the cries of VICTORY!!!

The Victory is ours for the taking.

Hellow! please let Ikpatt, Adamu, Sam, Yara awusa, and Bamidele, know the state of things in their Nigeria.

For the benefit of Shaga, even I with my fertile imagination could never concoct in my wildest and darkest dreams,the bestiality and brutality that occurs daily in Nigeria.
This country is a "sick" country, and I am sure that God Himself, shudders at the ongoing evils there.

Our clamour for "Biafra" is real, and not subject to argument or debate, nor conditional upon yours or anyone elses approval.

This IS THE LAND OF OUR FOREFATHERS, which was forcibly taken from us, first by the imperialist Britain, and subsequently by the entity called Nigeria. The Biafran civil war was one of the first of its kind in the former colonies of Africa. Beyond a question of a doubt, the demarcations that were made at the Berlin conference were purely arbitrary, and our people are going to be the first in africa, to redraw these lines with our allies, and exclude our enemies. We are Biafrans, we are not "followers", we are leaders, and that will be our greatest contribution to Africa.

Moreover, we are a people who have a keen sense of democracy, republicanism, and justice, which predated colonialism.

Lets put it this way, your ways are more alien to us than the europeans!! We have no buisness pretending to be members of the same "country".

Exactly the same way you dont agree with our ways, we find your lifestyles and choices deplorable.

"As for you my sweet Biafra, you are set in timelessness, you begin at infinity and you end at infinity."

Long live Biafra, freedom and justice for all.

" if so, tell me why you are still in the north".

To say the least, I find that question amazing. On the one hand you profess the indisputable "unity" of Nigeria, and utmost compassion for the ongoing ethnic conflicts in benue, and on the other hand you would have the igbos all depart from the northern part of "their" country.

It strikes me as being paradoxical. We are members of your country, and yet we are not.

Nigeria has to realise, that you cannot eat yor cake and have it at the same time. You want the revenue from oil proceeds, but the peoples from whose land this is mined you would rather " do away with". Or if that fails, let them go away and keep quiet, at least.

With the revenue from our oil you purchase sophisticated weapons, which you then use to terrorize our people, flattening whole villages, killing anything that moves.
Then you come back and wonder, why do these people not want to be our friend?

Nigeria has had her chance, and has failed woefully again and again. It is obvious, that she can never fulfill the aspirations of her peoples, it is not Biafra that is a dream, it is Nigeria that is one and a very bad one at that, otherwise known as a Nightmare of gargantuan proportions.

Any pretensions of democracy on her part, are but a shimmering illusion, and equity and justice are two words that dont even exist in her vocabulary.

Will we be sad to see this dream come to an end? I will let you answer that one!

What we seek is peace, and not war, and Nigeria is like a country at war, with the Nigerian army slaughtering helpless civilians and islamic fundamentalists waging Jihads in the North. Look at the casualties, they speak for themselves, in the thousands since obasanjo took over. Look at the number of refugees, hundreds of thousands( no one counts the eastern refugees from the north because they dont matter, so we never hear about them.) So, in effect, Nigeria is at war already, and we want peace, something which Nigeria can never give to us.

Now the solution for your brethren in the north, I'm sorry, I dont have any, because right now I only have eyes for Biafra.

"As for you my sweet biafra, you are set in timelessness, you begin at infinity, and you end at infinity."

Long live Biafra, freedom and justice for all.

The soldiers watching his group of about 100, he said, all wore regular uniforms. But a private had painted in white on the back of his uniform: "Operation No Living Thing." New York Times

Without prejudice, this is what Mr Karl wrote in his essay who sent the soldiers?:

".............the militia had a right to kill them. This is war!"

Technically, baba Iyabo and Jerry Gana may well be echoing the same sentiments. You will observe that the Chief of Army Staff has since repeated the same statement credited to Gen..Malu after the Odi massacre ie; that the soldiers were acting in self-defence.

The BiafraNigerian thugs parading as soldiers are a bunch of lunatics as you can see from the "peace-keeping" caption of a soldier: "operation no moving thing"

Asked to comment on the recent military reprisal in Benue State where hundreds of people were reportedly killed by Nigerian soldiers, said: "Maybe you don't know what happened. Let me tell you. There has been some clashes between Tivs, Jukuns and Fulanis in that area going on for 10 to 15 years. The governors of the two states, Taraba and Benue separately invited the military through me to take care of the lawlessness of some young men who put up illegal roadblocks and were killing people of other ethnic groups. So soldiers were sent to clear the roadblocks. At the last roadblock, an ambush was set for the soldiers and they were killed and their bodies hacked and dismembered."

Obasanjo said he then got in touch with the governor to "apprehend those criminals and hand them over to us. The governor called me back after three days to say he had failed and asked that we send soldiers and that was what we did."

A member of the Media Committee for the Benue, Nassarawa and Taraba crises set up by the Benue State government, Mr. Loho Tsavwua, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard further gave insight into the allegation against the Benue State government.

quote:

---

According to him: "the claim by the Federal Government that it was soldiers requested for by the Benue State government that wreaked havoc on our people is false’.

---

quote:

---

The governor described as false and unfortunate statement credited to the Commander of the 23 Armoured Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Yola, Brig.-Gen. D. D. Daji, that a retired colonel was training 6,000-member strong militia force in the state.

---

As the one-Nigerianas would say, "LET US NOT TRIBALIZE A NATIONAL TRAGEDY. This tragedy has nothing to do with Tiv, Jukun, or Hausa. As good Nigerians, let us discuss it without mentioning Tiv or Jukun."

If Malu were a true Nigerian, and not a Tiv tribalist, here is what he would have said.

"That is one of the reasons why we met in Nigeria's Capital City. It did not only affect my village and compound. So many innocent Nigerian people were killed, for no reason at all."

There is no such beast as one nigerian. Infact, I have just discovered that even the easterners who pretend to champion "one nigerianism" do it just for their pocket.

Read ALL the Tiv official statements. They are for a united BiafraNigeria and yet a colonel is training an initial 6,000 Tiv militia.
Sani Yerima is for one BiafraNigeria while carrying on with his shariarisation.

The OPC have pooled together and ready to pounce, and the Oduduwa leaders are for one BiafraNigeria.

I am glad and thoroughly satisfied with the answer(s) General Emeka Ojukwu gave the Vanguard journalist.

quote:

---

According to military sources, the authorities deployed a new set of soldiers to restore order only to run into another ambush laid by the Tivs.

And let's assume with their stockpile of weaponry and the civil unrest that is obviously becoming widespread of which they have the capacity to level any place, level Igboland, to be precise, how would the Igbos go about this? That they didn't know? That we do not have retired army personnels who supposedly had the same opportunity bearing arms?

We had Ike Nwachukwu, Ebitu Ukiwe, Madueke, Ndubuisi Kalu, etc.--all of the elite class in the Nigerian military--who had every opportunity like their Northern and now "plateaued" counterparts when Nigeria was dramatically envisioned as a one nation. They dined and wined. They spoke big grammar and military terms. They knew what their enemies (the entire north) were up to. They did nothing and were either humiliated or retired only to go back to their respective villages to be ordained with all kinds of chieftaincy titles.

But the truth is, when Igboland is being leveled, and we had these able men who knew while they were in the military that their "plateaued" counterparts, one day, would have the capability to either destroy Nigeria or determine the fate of a bastardized stste.

And the irony as in this case is, Igbos are still not prepared, lacking effective leadership. And that's the problem.
