THE IBADAN ETHNIC CLASH, FACTS AND FIGURES.

EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT:

By Obo Ekpeyong

It's so painful how people in authority are desperate to distort facts. When we run away from truth, we shall be hunted by falshood.

I'm an eye witness. I have lived in Ibadan since 1970, two years after I was born and brought to this city after the war

My first language is Yoruba. Thanks to my parents that I speak Efik. I find the Yoruba liberal, accommodating and considerate. This is why this city has been very peaceful for a long time. The city has only been jolted into violence by politics and elections

However, I must say that the Fulani in Ibadan traditional over step their bounds. They don't live with the locals.They create their own Ungoverned Territories where they do what ever they like. If you quarrel with one of them, some 15 people will descend on you. I have seen women beaten in the face of their husbands and children by FULANI mob They are always armed with a knife. In recent times, They form the majority of Okada riders. They have no respect for traffic rules. They have a sense of ownership over the city.

When you quarrel with anyone of them, they get you arrested by army from the barracks mainly their kinsmen. When you report any assault to police, their brothers in the barracks will come and threaten police to release him

This last incidence, a few meters from where I live, the buttocks of a pregnant woman was slapped by a notorious FULANI boy well known in Shasa. He does that frequently. The woman protested. He slapped the woman and removed her hairtie-GELE. As this was going on, his colleagues and even FULANI elders in the market were hailing him. The woman started crying. The next thing he did was to begin to stripe the woman naked, fumbling with her breast. As the woman protested, vehemently, she was already half naked. This hooligan started to beat her with the boot of a broom. The elderly Yoruba people were pleading but he was insulting them. She hit the pregnancy of the woman. She started bleeding.The few Yoruba elders started pleading but he insulted them. The woman was helpless The boy then said the Yoruba should go and call Olubadan before he could release the traumatised lady

It was when he pulled the woman to the ground that Yoruba youths were forced to mobilise and attacked. Instead of accepting guilt, the Fulani mobilised and attacked every Yoruba in sight.

When I read one Aisha Yusuff talking of END HAUSA MASSACRE, I now understand Nigeria better. Where did she get the word MASSACRE? How many people were killed? Both Yoruba and Hausa or FULANI were killed in Ibadan. Total is less than 5 people. That is not up to the number of Southerners and Middle Belt people killed in core North everyday for the past decades.

I thought she was a woman and activist. She saw nothing wrong in all the killings, rape, murder going on but quick to launch END Hausa killing. This is crazy hypocrisy MUST stop

Good one my brother.

The era of that is over. If they try shit again, they will be slaughtered without mercy.

Even a simple insult from them will result to mass action against them from now on.

They think they have mardness, but we will show them what madness is all about.

The live of any fulani is worthless from now on.

What happened in Ibadan is just the beginning.

Others be warned too. If you can't live in peace, then be ready for the consequences.

The era of diplomacy is over.

Thank you for the information. Hausas like creating communities within host community.
That shasha market should be demolished.
Nobody should turn market to homes. Market closes by 6pm.

It would appear that "massacre" is the most abused word in recent times !!

It was liberally used with the Lekki saga despite verified contrary widely available evidence.. Now its been used to stigmatise and politicise the Ibadan communal clash.. As I wouldn't justify calling it a riot.


The desire to distort or at the best over-exaggerate in a bid to sensationalise every news is the new scourge that must be resisted!! angry angry angry

Have your thoughts with the igbos because when we step on issues we destroy them, we are not igbo governors paying herdsmen with our allocation and resources, we fight for our own, we are not so timid that we wouldn't talk when our people are been senselessly massacred in Enugu and Oyigbo because our leaders are under Buhari's table begging for crumbs, we are not people with igwes, Ezes and obis coup plotters seeking after money without shame.

Bark not bite....

There's a difference..

Dogs slept......

whilst the middle belt was undergoing systematic ethnic cleansing!

Whilst non-moslems in the North were slaughtered, beheaded over trivial fights

Whilst fulani herdsmen aka bandits started ravaging southwards with kidnapping of high profile victims alongside wanton destruction

Whilst reports of movement of large numbers of unknown persons with weapons of war were transported to southern cities during nationwide lockdown/ transport curfews.

The silence from seats of power was deafening, resoundingly deafening.......

Then rather paltry excuses were made for horrifying deaths of women and children, of devastating loss of investment and income for agricentrepreneurs, of inhumane slaughter of honest diasporeans who had returned to give back to their communities through a dint of hardwork


The dogs continued to lay....


Till recurrent verified reports of similar ethnic cleansing--clash m.o being administered in the south.

Now there's widespread barking.. To raise awareness, consciousness..

It's no longer faraway lands but right in our backyard.. Ikota Villa imbroglio is an example.


So be watchful, be careful and stand guard!!
