SHOCKING REPORT:
TERRORISTS IN GOVERNMENT As The Nigerian Air Force Paid Bandits N20 Million To Avoid Shooting Down Buhari’s Plane.
À REPORT FROM WALL STREET JOURNAL.

How Nigerian Air Force Paid Bandits N20 Million To Avoid Shooting Down Buhari’s Plane

A United States of America media outlet, The Wall Street Journal has revealed how the Nigerian Air Force coordinated ransom payments to armed bandits in exchange for an anti-aircraft gun seized from the Nigerian Army in a desperate deal that was brokered as President Muhammadu Buhari was planning a trip to Katsina.

The U.S. outlet said N20 million was delivered to the bandits in Rugu Forest by a Nigerian Air Force official, who leaked details of the operation under anonymity, because the military realised that it would be too risky to leave the weapon in the hands of violent criminals operating in an area the presidential jet would fly over.

The rugged, lawless jungle that covers parts of Kaduna, Zamfara and the president’s home state of Katsina has served as a vast haven for bandits terrorising Nigeria’s northwestern communities. A large portion of kidnapping plots emanates or terminates in or around the forest, security agencies have previously warned.

“The mission to buy back the antiaircraft gun began with a handoff from a high-ranking air force intelligence officer in the capital Abuja: a black zip-up bag he said was full of 20 million Nigerian naira,” the paper reported, after stating that such military hardware in the hands of bandits “posed a threat to President Muhammadu Buhari, who had been planning to fly to his hometown about 80 miles away.”

The gun truck with 12.7 caliber anti-aircraft fire was reportedly disassembled and transported back to the military on motorbikes after the deal was concluded.

The Journal did not specify when the deal was brokered or the presidential trip that was planned. The president has been in his hometown at least twice this year that his office disclosed to the public. The first trip was in late January and another in July.

Although the Nigerian government claimed combat victories against armed bandits, several military bases have been sacked by the violent criminals dreaded largely for their abduction of schoolchildren and prominent personalities, including politicians and emirs.

Last month, a forward operating base crucial to the military campaign against banditry was raided in Zamfara, leaving at least 12 officers killed. The bandits also seized military equipment when they captured the base in Dansadau, about 80 kilometres south of the capital Gusau, in the September 11 operation.

Less than two weeks later on September 24, bandits again struck a joint base of security forces in the neighbouring Sokoto State, killing several soldiers, Civil Defence officers and civilians.

The Nigerian Air Force also confirmed on July 19 that bandits had shot down one of its fighter jets, but the pilot was able to eject without and there were no casualties. The incident came as Mr Buhari was visiting his hometown for this year’s Sallah.

It was not immediately clear why service chiefs opted for ransom payment in the operation described by The Journal. Military weapons that fell into the hands of Boko Haram insurgents and bandits were usually destroyed by air strikes.

THE ASABA MASSACRE OF OCTOBER 7TH. 1967.

Lyrical Ancestor.

Today in History: Asaba Massacre took place

On this day, October 7, 1967, one of the heinous massacres took place in Asaba, present-day Delta state. The Nigerian troops invaded Asaba and shot dead over 2000 people.

What was their crime? It's a thread

Today marks 54 years the people of Asaba in Delta state have been living in deep sorrow and anguish. They've been swimming in the ocean of misery and trauma as a result of the Nigerian-Biafran civil war.

It was alleged that the massacre was carried out to teach the Asaba people a bitter lesson "for being and supporting Biafrans". Barely three months into the war over the declaration of the Republic of Biafra, the federal troops descended on the small town on the west bank of the River Niger. Like possessed beings, the federal troops went beserk, ransacking and vandalising homes, killing every "man" sighted and destroying homes, among other things. The killings started on 5th October and took another horrendous dimension on Oct. 7, 1967. That day, hundreds of men, women and children came out chanting "One Nigeria" in support and solidarity with the federal troops. Many of them came out in their best local white attire (akwa ọcha). But the military had other plans. They took the innocent citizens to Ogbe-Osowa area of the town. There, they killed hundreds of men in cold blood. And Asaba laid prostate, in ruins. A town without men.

The order for the killing was reportedly given by Major General Ibrahim Taiwo. Ironically, Taiwo was beheaded during a coup in 1976, reinforcing the saying that those that kill by the sword will surely die by the sword.

Another version of witness account credited to Dr. Uchenna Gwam, who escaped death by whiskers said: "The Nigerian troops that came into Asaba came with the aim of eliminating every Asaba man as they thought they were fathers, brothers and uncles of Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, the leader of the 1st Nigerian coup in 1966 that killed Sarduana of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello. CKN, hailed from Okpanam, 5 kms drive from Asaba. I would rather say those soldiers that came to Asaba were on a revenge mission and not after the Biafrans. He further said that when the federal troops opened fire on the defenceless Asaba residents, Ibrahim Taiwo was excitedly shouting: "Kill them all! They are all unbelievers!"

The mass murder was not a one-off thing. "At Ogbe-Osowa, the mayhem was on Oct. 8 at John Halt, it was Oct. 9, 1967; at St. Patrick's college, Asaba and Umujia, both in early 1968.

Little did Asaba people know that the attempt to embrace the federal troops was a game of death. Every village prepared and went to Ogbe-osowa square, thinking that they were coming to receive their friends but the reverse was the case. When they got there, they separated the men from the women. The next thing they opened fire. The whole men there were mowed down. The women buried those men killed. The women went through the lifeless bodies looking for their own people because everybody wore akwa ọcha. So, if you recognised anyone that you know, you take the body and bury. Vultures were feasting on the dead, puncturing their stomachs. The soldiers took advantage of the situation and r***d so many women, both young and old, they forcefully married so many others.

A cenotaph had been erected in memory of the fallen, with their names inscribed on the wall.

We remember today the victims of the despicable massacre of unarmed Igbo civilians masterminded by General Murtala Mohammed, carried out by Major Taiwo and his boys.

God rest the dead.

This is what Nigeria will never do.
They will rather send Army, Navy, Air force, NSDC, Custom, İmmigration, Hisbah to South east, south south, south west and Lekki toll-gate to kiiii innocent people.
Meanwhile, Fulani herdsmen, Boko haram, ISWAP, so called Bandits are all in the north ravaging it , killing , kidnapping and destroying. When they catch them, they will pardon them and put them into the miliary.
And some people will say Nigeria is the giant of Africa.
İf i hear that thing again.

THE ESAN IGBE EDO TREATY THAT BINI HISTORIANS MAY NEVER WANT YOU TO READ.

Charles Eze Chiedu.


Where ever you see a snake and the Esan, kill the Esan first is a mockery word coined by the Bini when they could not defeat the Esan people especially during the long battle between UROMI KINGDOM and BENIN KINGDOM that lasted years and ended up with the ESAN I GBE EDO TREATY.

The Bini/Esan War:
During the 16th century, the Uzea War occurred which is called the Bini Esan War. This war was between the Uromi Kingdom and the Benin Kingdom. The war lasted for many years, as a result from a refusal of friendship from Oba Ozolua of Benin by Onojie Agba N'Ojie of Uromi.

Oba Ozolua moved with his warriors to Esanland and beheaded the Onojie of Uzea during the war. The war ended at the town of Uzea, when Oba Ozolua was beheaded during the War in Esanland and while king Agba N'Ojie of Uromi on the other hand, never died immediately, rather vanished into Ahojie bush and was never seen till date and the people of Esan deified him as a God of WAR and is being worshipped today under a tall Kapok tree that is evergreen throughout the year.

Note it was after that war that the original coinage of Esan Gbe Edo originated, Meaning Esans has defeated the Binis in War. At that time, it was even used as a name among Esans as well.

The Bini warriors went back home after the defeat, and narrated the intense dreadful nature and gallantry of Esans, the anger of cross quarrel and zest to fight again, led to the coinage by the Bini warriors, that where ever you see a snake and the Esan, kill the Esan first, but good enough, one of the Bini warriors was of an Esan mother, and he vehemently said that Esan can never be killed, because they are enigmatic.

However, in peaceful times as time evolved with more wars around the corner, for Esans and Binis to take care of, a Treaty of PEACE was signed between Esans and the Binis, which the Esan call ukoven which was done and sealed by planting the Ohimi tree, and pledged on the Ohimi oath, "Esan I Gbedo"....what is now known today as "ESan Igbe Edo" meaning Esans will no longer attack Binis.

Esan kingdoms would loan soldiers to the Benin Kingdom, such as during the Idah War of 1515-1516, as well, on three occasions, when some Obas of Benin where denied, of their stool, they ran down to Esanland, and where led by Esan warriors, back to Benin, to reclaim their rightful stool as Oba example is Oba Osemwende (1816. - 1848).

THE IGBO HISTORICAL RUGGEDITY:

Charles Eze Chiedu Snr.
Ogbe-Ahor
Ogwashi Uku.

Large ethnic Igbo populations are found in Cameroon, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea, as well as outside Africa. There has been much speculation about the origins of the Igbo people, as it is unknown how exactly the group came to form.

Igbo is spoken in southern Nigeria, Kogi, Benue, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Haiti,Barbados, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, it also supplied a large chunk of words to the Jamaican Patois.

In Nigeria, they are found in the whole of Eastern Nigeria, parts of Delta state including Aniocha South LGA, Aniocha north LGA, Ika north east, Ika south, Ndokwa east, Ndokwa west, Oshimili North, Oshimili south, Ukwuani LGA.
They are also in River State, Cross River State, Edo state (igbanke) Kogi, BENUE, etc.

The Ibo or Igbo people are found in southeastern Nigeria and have many interesting customs and traditions. With a population of around 40 to 50 million throughout Nigeria, they are one of the biggest and most influential tribes. Igbos are well-known for their entrepreneurial endeavours, both within Nigeria and around the world. Here’s everything you need to know.

HISTORY:
The Igbo people are descended from Eri, a divine figure who, according to Igbo folklore, was sent from heaven to begin civilization. Another account presents Eri as one of the sons of Gad (as mentioned in the book of Genesis in the Bible) who travelled down to establish the present-day Igboland.

Chinua Achebe, Nigerian novelist and poet, is from the Igbo tribe.

In Nigeria, Igbos inhabit an area referred to as Igboland, which is divided into two sections along the lower River Niger. They live in most or all parts of five states: Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo, as well as minor parts of Delta, Rivers and Benue states. Small Igbo communities are also found in parts of Cameroon and Equitorial Guinea.

As a result of the transatlantic slave trade, Igbos have migrated to other countries including Jamaica, Cuba, Barbados, Belize, the United States among others. Elements of Igbo culture have been found in Jamaican patois – for example the Igbo word ‘unu’ which means ‘you’ is still used, while ‘red Ibo‘ or ‘red eboe‘ describes a black person with fairer skin (a lighter skin tone is common among Igbos). A area of Belize City is called Eboe Town after its Igbo-descended inhabitants. Since the late 20th century, many Nigeria immigrants have gone to the United States, and many of them are Igbos. It is estimated that more than 2000,000 Igbos live in the United States.

(Culture and traditions)

GOVERNANCE:
The Igbo political system differs significantly from most of its West African neighbours. With exception of a few major Igbo communities which have an Obi (king), Igbos have a traditional republican system of government, which is a consultative assembly of people, which guarantees equality to citizens. This system is a departure from the usual form of government with a king ruling over the subjects. Even though there are title holders who are respected by their achievements, they are never revered as kings.

HISTORICAL FINDINGS:
Many Igbo artefacts were discovered by Thurstan Shaw in 1959 and 1964 at archaeological sites in Igbo-Ukwu, including more than 700 high-quality artefacts of bronze, copper and iron, as well as stone beads, glass and ivory. Igbo bronze artefacts are said to be the oldest in West Africa. Five of the bronze artefacts from the dig are presently in the British Museum.

OCCUPATION:
Traditionally, Igbos were mostly farmers, craftsmen and traders – evidence of crafts and metalwork were found in archeological discoveries. A number of the metals used by craftsmen were said to have been from Egypt, providing evidence of trade across the Sahara long before Europeans came to Africa.

CUISINE:
The Igbo people’s most important crop is the yam, and it is the reason for the New Yam Festival (Iri Ji) celebrating the harvest of new yams. The yam is also a significant part of a traditional diet and is prepared as pounded yam, eaten with different soups or eaten immediately after being boiled. Igbos are well known for their variety of soups, made from locally grown vegetables, fruits and seeds. The most popular Igbo soups are oha, nsala, akwu, okazi and ofe owerri.

RELIGION:
The Igbo people have a traditional religious belief that there is one creator, called ‘Chineke’ or ‘Chukwu’. The creator can be approached through many other deities and spirits in the form of natural objects, most commonly through the god of thunder called ‘Amadioha’. Others gods include ‘Ala’, the feminine earth spirit, ‘Anyanwu’ (meaning ‘eye of the sun’) a deity believed to dwell on the sun, and ‘Idemili’, the water goddess whose symbol is that of a python. After Nigeria was colonized, most Igbos (more than 90%) became Christian, which is still the predominant religion today.

MARRIAGE:
In Igbo culture, a marriage is contracted by the man asking for the woman’s hand from her father, which is the first stage called ‘iku aka‘ (‘to knock on the door’). The second stage and second visit of the groom and his family members to the woman’s family will involve the presence of her extended family, where they must also give their consent. The groom will pay a third visit to pay the bride price and collect from his future in-laws the list of items he will bring to the woman’s family for the wedding. The fourth and final stage is the wedding itself, called ‘igba nkwu‘ or ‘wine carrying’ where the bride will come out to look for her groom (who will hide in the crowd) and offer him a cup of palm wine. The couple is then blessed by the family and well wishers, and celebrations begin.
