Crisis brews as 2 Anambra communities fight over farmlands
Farmers and stakeholders in Nibo community, Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State have lamented the destruction of their farmlands by neighbouring Awka community.

They appealed to federal and state governments to urgently come to their rescue by constituting joint boundary committee to look into an ongoing land dispute between them and the Awka community.

The traditonal ruler of Nibo, Igwe Micheal Ngene, said that the call became necessary following the destruction of farmlands and economic trees by some youths allegedly from their neighbouring Awka community.

There have been increasing communal clashes between various communities in Anambra state occasioned by boundary disputes and land matters, according to Igwe Ngene, who added that the situation had led to loss of lives and destruction of farm crops.

He said, “the people of Nibo are calling on the federal and state governments to urgently intervene in the recent invasion and destruction of their ancestral lands by some youths said to be from Awka community.”

Describing the incident as unfortunate, Ngene stated that they had written series of letters to concerned authorities but have not received the needed attention.

He, however, said that the Inspector General of Police had sent a fact finding team to the community, but regretted that they have not seen the report and appealed that the outcome of the visit be made public.

Two farmers in the community, Chief Keneth Aniemena and Mrs Adaobi Ekwunife, noted that cash crops including palm trees, plantain, cassava, yam, among others were destroyed with bulldozer, leaving them in a helpless condition.

The Deputy President General of the community, Deacon Bertram Anene and another farmer, Mrs Ifeyinwa Eke, appealed to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture to also come to their rescue with some crops and food as their only means of surviving had been destroyed.

Reacting, the Chairman, Caretaker Committee for Awka community, Mr Chike Obuekwe, explained that the matter was already before the supreme court and called on the affected villages to sheath their sword to enable stakeholders look into it.

Again?? This is getting out of hand... People need to get sense and stop fighting over land

MelesZenawi:
The rate of communal clashes under Obiano administration is violently getting out of hand..

freeborn02:
And they claim igbos love themselves. If this is how igbos display love for one another, only God knows how they will display hatred for one another.

Looks like the farmlands wars are the reasons many igbos run to the southwest. They will be murdered in cold blood by their fellow blodas if they stay in their villages

Who is now the real enemies to igbos if not themselves?

okpalaAnambra:

Because a Drunkard can't lead people who are seeing clearly without falling into a ditch

Yeroba loves themselves so much they collect each others head for safe keeping .....kudos

We have a lot of problems in yorubaland. I'm not denying that.

But can you ever agree that you also have problems in igboland?

No!

You come here to claim that your tribe is the best, whereas it is a lie.

You go about saying yorubas are bad, whereas you and your blodas can't stop migrating to yorubaland.

You claim igbos love one another, whereas, you don't mind killing one another over farmlands.

Who are you guys deceiving if not yourselves!

IamWonderful:
Anambra? I guess that is the headquarter of the devil these days, he has relocate from Kenya to Anambra home of weirdest things

Ategberoson:
see as Ndigbo are showing love to themselves? I don't wish this kind love to Yoruba nation anyway

IspitonCowards:
Migrating to yoruba land?...Lmao....Our eyes are only on lagos, all those barren, deserted brown-roof states along the road can catch fire

freeborn02:


I guess you have never visited any other Yoruba state aside from Lagos. Hence your myopic viewpoint. Go to each Yoruba state and you will see how your blodas have migrated all over.


Not their fault though; the wickedness in igboland is too much

IspitonCowards:
yeroba show love by acquiring each others skull for safe keeping I understand

SmartProf:
The reasons why people fight and kill themselves in Nigeria will reveal to you that we live in a third world country populated by idiots.

Reasons why Igbos fight and kill themselves all over the world has revealed to us that they have a third world mentality but living among the progressives.


You can never see this kind of headline in Europe, America, Australia and the likes. Nobody want to apply conflict resolution strategies anymore

Conflict resolution can not yield result where there is no mutual love and respect for each others lives and properties down there. Remember your adage that says 'Igbos don't have king'
Therefore, having such headlines is not unusual.


...once there is little tension, it's straight up to destruction.

You are outrightly correct, they destroy each other home and abroad, and use each other as collateral in Asian countries including Lebanon etc


So an already backward nation, goes backward several times after each crisis.

The major reason why there is little growth down east and why 5-states Biafra will remain backward.

If it had happened in the west, your hypocrisy will be written all over you, so why are you trying to be nationalistic like Nnamdi Azikiwe when in actual fact, clannishness is deep-rooted in you.

IspitonCowards:
I guess this your brothers in Anambra are attracted to Wickedness then

freeborn02:


My brothers understand that every region has its problems. So, they don't abuse others or make false claims about the realities in their region or any other region for that matter

hajimosho:



Land is a scarce resource in the East. It is expected to have enmity over the little they possess and fight bitterly for others land.

SmartProf:

You are a big fool

You made just 2 comments and they reek of insults - Idiots and Fool -
It talks more of your upbringing


and a very inconsequential tribalist.

I only reminded you of the log in your eyes, when you seem not be conversant of it.
Paying you back in your coin is sufficient. I need not add more sauce.


Your opinions are directly proportional to your IQ...really low.

Low enough to beat you in your game. Brace up

IspitonCowards:
But why are they migrating to the SE i thought wickedness lives here ....are you saying they like wickedness?

freeborn02:


You need to allow your brain to do its work.

Looks like I will have to repeat myself again since you are hard of hearing.

My brothers understand that every region has its problems. So, they don't put any region down the way you put other tribes down. Hope that English is easier for you to understand?
