You’re quoting Tinubu’s news paper that you call Ibadan express way media when it suits you.
If Igbo speaking part wants to join Igbo they can go. We don’t have land for them in Benue.
Igbos are synonymous with Fulani from futajalon!

Most of those commenting didnt even read, They are being killed by ebonyi effium people. This is ibos killing ibos.
All those idiots writing in front page doesn't even know what's going on.. both Effium and Ezza are Igbo speaking people who have lands extending in both Ebonyi and benue state, but is like the ones living in benue state are having crisis within themselves.

Both of them are Igbos, it's just an internal war that ohaneze has failed to look into.

So, you know who is attacking them and you don't know that the land they occupy is their a ancestral land abi?

You are very delusional...what do one expect anyways from someone that will eventually be buried will a king? nonsense Abobaku's
You don't have sense. And also the person that taught you that history too is ment. Ezza people are originally from Onueke. It was of so many dispute, some of them were displaced to Benue, Enugu and Anambra. I guess you didn't know all this because you too ran from your village to go and occupy another mans village and called it yours.

Have the Ezzas spent up to 200 years on the land you say is owned by the Ado folks of Benue State? I assume you're from Benue State as well.

I read some years back that the Ezzas were usually given temporary lands to use for farming after helping other ethnic groups or close neighbors to fight wars as mercenaries. It's improper for the Ezzas to renege on handing back lands that were leased to them say 100 years ago by their neighbors. People will be wary of them as being dishonest because of this if that is the case.






I don't know why you believe writing long gibberish will make you look smart and know a lot about history, nobody take you seriously here, get that into your thick empty skull

So you're thinking the artificial borders drawn by the military defines a people?

Where was the state of benue 70yrs ago? Non existent but these people have been there for over 600yrs!
And you thought the people of Benue was brought to come and occupy the land when the state was created by the military? You thought this was a 100 years dispute? Besides Benue people are not the ones disturbing the ezza people, abi effioms too are now Benue too?

Why they were carved into Benue rather than Ebonyi, I will never know. Over one million Igbos that should have been in Ebonyi were carved into Benue State for no reason other than to get the population of Benue to State level

Mumuni,these are examples of the kith and kin divided by the indiscriminate border partitioning by the military during state creation sometimes using landmarks like rivers to separate brothers and sisters.
The said Ezza people are d same Ezza people living in Ohaukwu LGA of Ebonyi who share border with Benue
Ezza people are also in Enugu and anambra. This people were displaced and scattered around. They went to settle in so many places years ago. They are originally from present day Ebonyi.

Lol, I'm not giving myself headache over any Ezza people. Ezza were just settlers, who ran to Benue state then because of all these wars. The people of ezza were giving shelter and lands to farm and make a living by the people of Ado. It's now very shameful and hurtful to see them claiming the lands. It's going to make other villages be wary of them, and not decide to accommodate them. Because as it seems, the war between Uffiom and ezza is not ending soon. Nobody prays for war, but uffioms seems to be looking for trouble always and not backing down.
Stop talking rubbish!. Ezza people were formerly from Enugu/ebonyi state. It's the FMG that put them in Benue state.Stop saying what you don't know abeg and mind your business. No be everything Igbo you go open dirty mouth

Read and understand Nigerian history, No

Listen to news, updates, No

No more about your country, No

Attend history classes in school, No

Only to play 9jabet and sportybet is your main calling

So, you don't know there are Igbo's caved into some states like Delta, Kogi, Cross River, Rivers, Edo, Benue etc

E.g Phyna of Bbnaija is an Igbo girl from Edo State they were caved into Edo State



Phyna is not an Igbo girl from Edo state, she is an Edo girl from Igueben, a town in Esan land which is referred to as the Bini part of Esan land, because of all Esan towns, Igueben is closest to Bini linguistically, that is why she commonly refers to herself as a Bini girl. She only happen to have an Igbo mother, don’t misinform the public,


Her name is Ijeoma Otabor,


Otabor is an Edo name through and through,It means the evening tide favors me, there are other names in similar vein, Idubor, Irabor, isibor, Edobor, Ikubor, Asabor, etc the ijeoma certainly came from her mom

Benue should be up to 6.5 to 7million as they have a voters registration figure of about 2.8 million registered voters. That’s a whooping sum, above that of Ogun and anambra respectively.
But the Igbos there will not be up to 1 million, at most 3 hundred thousand

You need to back to school and understand the meaning of indigenous and ancestral land related issues

1. if they were displaced was the land they recently occupied in Benue state empty when they occupied it?

2. How come no other tribes from Benue state live among them to show they migrated to the state?

3. how come they dominate four senatorial districts in the state?

Well, in as much as I know the Igbos to always drag land with people and some miscreants will come online to defend them.
Lagos was the first, then Delta government started with them, now benue people. But I can assure you that another will sprout out of kogi state soon.
I was in my hometown okene last month in Kogi State and I found out that Igbos have already started acquiring large expanse of land naming it as ndi Igbo street. I laughed and shook my head.

There is no indigenous Ezza in Anambra.
For the ones in Benue,it’s an extension of the Ezzas in Effium in Ohaukwu LGA of Ebonyi who were carved into Benue.
Same for the ones in Enugu.
Will you say there are no Yorubas in Kogi state?

In fact Ado is just a local government, that comprises of Agila, Igumale, Ufia and some other groups that I can not remember their name. Agila shares a border with ezza and effioms, This people knows their land border before Benue state was created. The ezza people you see in Ado LG today came to settle in Agila when the war broke out. Before a state is created, they will be a borderline that identifys this place as my community, and the other place for the other community.

When you said carved is what I don't agree with or even understand self. Do you mean this people were asked to leave their ancestry home and come and become part of Benue or Enugu? Do you know yala in Ogoja, Cross river, shares the same history and lineage with the people of Akpa in Otukpo Benue state? Were the Ogoja people forced or carved into cross river? This ezza people were already living and farming in Agila before the creation of Benue state. This is not a 30 to 50 years history my bro
