You should be calling for peace instead of vomitting this bunch of sputum.
Peace?, when your People Ezza sworn not to allow small small community to enjoy their land.
Won't you guys go and fight against Izzi, Ikwo, or A Afikpo people or don't you want to claim their land too. I bet you know the outcome.

You people should go and apologize to whoever that curse Ezza because this dragging of land is image tarnishing.

You Ezza boy, did you guys seek for peace before fighting over a land that doesn't belong to you?

no they dealt with Ezilo people during 2012 when they fought that war. Ezza has always been defeating and collecting communities land.
stop reading stories from media, the research I make with my team about that war concluded that every Ezza household that was living in Ezillo as of then lost one or two person in that war.

Stop reading trash from media.

Ezza people are troublesome.

When you hear Ebonyi man is easily irritated and can easily pick up a fight, it is an Ezza man.

Ezza ancestors were warlords.

All these things Fulani herdsmen do, they can’t try it in Ezza land or any land Ezza people have interest.

Uffiom people are not indigenous Igbos, they migrated from Cross River and Benue. Although they are now indigenous Ebonyians, they speak and hear Igbo, but speak their distinct dialect which Ebonyians don’t understand.

However their quarrel with Ezza people are decades long, and Ebonyi govt is siding with Uffiom, however Ezza people don’t want to let go and are massacring Uffiom people. Uffiom people massacre them too, but are outpopulated by Ezza people. Ezza people just want to massacre them into extinction or send them back to Benue/Cross river so they can take over their arable land.

The Ebonyi state Government Peace committee instituted by the Governor has sided Uffiom people, but the Ezza people are not having it.
Why would anyone to go back to Cross River or Benue after how many years?

At least 11 persons including children, mothers were killed on Wednesday when suspected armed men said to be warlords attacked the residents of Inikiri Effium community in Ohaukwu local government area of Ebonyi State.

Warlords kee una there , what's warlords.

You’re a fool and a thief.
You’re an Izzi man.
Is there any 2 years Izzi have not fought and shed blood with Cross River people since the beginning of the world?
Is there any 5 years Izzi are not fighting with Ikwo?
Do Izzi not kill themselves regularly in the name of Igbojima and Unwueru?
The people you people killed every election in Izzi since 2015 till date,have they been buried?

I usually pity their young ladies wanting to marry, especially wanting to marry Anambra man. As a young lady from that place, once you tell an Anambra man that you are from Ebonyi, him don run grin grin

One thing always comes to mind in most Igbos once you mention that you are from Ebonyi.


That’s a lie.
A lot of Anambra people that grew up in Abakaliki married Ebonyi people.
If not for social media,I’d have mentioned names here

Age long conflict. Like your Ife-Modakeke crisis in the South West. David Umahi, who has mutated into Tinubu's Mr. Fix-it, was the immediate past governor of that state and obviously had no impact on the situation.

His useless, unprofitable airport lies idle after billions were wasted on its (mis)construction. But he's now Tinubu's Minister of Works and is currently selling us another corruption-ridden dead duck called the East-West Road.

Thanks for what you know about the communities. in addition to that, Ezzas are actually warlords, back in the days, any community that are in trouble will sort for the services of Ezzas, Ezza will always ask for land in return should they win the war. that was what happened in Ezza-Effium in todays Ohaukwu. Ezzas fought for them, and they were compensated with land, the one there are occupying to the present day. Now Effium want them out. this same thing is happening in Benue state, Ezillo, etc. Why would you want to collect back the reward you gave someone who provided services for you satisfactorily ?

Truth stated here.

But the Govenment has demarcated the land and granted Uffiom indigenous rights as well as recognised their Chieftaincy stool, and only gave Ezza people semo-autonomous status.

Why can’t the Ezza accept that?

They can't accept injustice from the government that took side with a party in a conflict.
Noted that some of the lands that Ezza occupy today were bought with their money. Let the two parties maintain the status quo.

Why will Ezzas be accepted to play a second fiddle?
Such a thing will never happen, any day the govt want to settle the matter we will know for now we neither have a working governor nor a village masquerade.
I will advise the Governor to take over the land and give it to Army, or establish an Army base there with Army secondary school. That was what solved Ezillo crisis and it will solve this one too. I have listeners in Government and will ensure that.

Thanks for ur straight forward narration,Ezza never started any war in the first place but Effium who secretly arming and stockpile arms to use to kill their brothers.
Being an Ngboman you said you be,none of ur people ever like Ezza people for anything though is natural when you see ur neighbors doing very well in anything they lay their hands.
Ogom I married from Amofia Abrigwe Ngbo and knows how I was treated though my father in-law is a Godsend.
We're Israelites in the mix of Arabs.

We are all sons of Ekumenyi who bore Ezekuna, Noyo and Nnodo, though Ngbo are descendants of Izzi Nnodo.

So we are all one. I don’t have problem with Ezza people. They are very industrious and hardworking. They are the Anambra of Ebonyi state.

But I have problem with their warmongering nature, Ezza versus Ezillo until military took over the land. Ezza versus Effium.
Still you people occupy two local governments wholly and are spread in all the senatorial zones. It reeks of land grabbing traits.


You people have two local governments, learn to be contended. If you send Effium away, where will they go to as they don’t have anyother local government unlike you? No other home, history supports Effium, likewise their predicament which is pitiful.

Ebubu:


I am an Abakaliki man. Ezza people are my distant relatives. So naturally I should side them but I don’t.

I side with the state government who sided with the Uffiom people. A white paper agreement was gazetted in the ministry of justice this February that Ezza people are guests and Uffiom are their hosts, the traditional ruler in Uffiom is officially recognised and the Ezza are officially recognised as guests but Ezza can’t have traditional stool, however they are part of the land and are semi-autonomous.

I side with State government communique and Uffiom people. Even though I’m not related at all to Uffiom who migrated from Benue and Cross river in 17th century.

Let me tell you the story.


Uffiom migrated around 17th century to meet that land as Ngbo land . And I am from Ngbo. They waged war against us but couldn’t win, they travelled to recruit Ezza warriors who are notorious and popular warlords. Ezza had a deal that if they waged the war for them and they won, they would be part and parcel of the land for 100 years. Uffiom accepted and together they defeated us and pushed us further South and East of Ngbo land.

100 years has passed and Ezza have refused to go back to their land, claiming they’ve buried their fathers in Uffiom land and it’s against their tradition to exhume corpses. And they don’t have anywhere else to go. Quite well, Ezza is enterprising and have connections abroad and in Lagos and together they’ve developed the Uffiom land to a large extent but see the Uffiom aboriginals as having a backward lifestyle with no resources or wealth to develop their segments of the society, left for them they can turn Uffiom land to modern town if they are the sole occupants.

Uffiom people see their land grabbing and overbearing nature and want them out. They refuse. Traditional rulers start to incite locals and fight break out!


Just like what you have in Palestine and Israel at Gaza. Two tribes, one city. Nobody gree for eachother.


So don’t accuse me of siding Ezza when you have read my first paragraph


NOW THIS IS MY JUDGMENT

Both the fighter (Uffiom people) and the fightee (Ezza people) are guilty as charge

1. That you (Uffiom people) migrated to unknown land years ago and the land entered yours eyes, you want to war with the owners to the land with the intentions to kill and chase them away from their and occupy it but could not do so;

2. That you (Uffiom people) travelled to engage the fightee (Ezza people) to join hands with you and continue wagging the war so that you both will conquer the original owners of the land wey enter your eyes in other to chase them out and occupy the land.

3. That you the fightee (Ezza people) agreed with the fighters proposal to join hands after the land entered your own eyes too thereby making a bargain to be part and parcel of the land if you win the war.

MY JUDGMENT PROPER:

That both the fighter (Uffiom People) and the fightee (Ezza people) are guilty of land grabbing but will be pardoned by the original owners of the on the conditions that the fighter (Uffiom people) and the fightee (Ezza people) should share the proseed of their crime in peace without reminding us of how they got it.
