listen, i am a full born and bred EDO BINI MAN. i don't subscribe to killing of innocent people under any guise.
however we must respect the culture and feelings of other people outside our tribe.
i have travelled to all the Hausa/Fulani regions of Nigeria. i have visited and be warmly welcomed in the palaces of Kano,zaria,maiduguri,sokoto,
kanfachan and kaduna Emirs. These are good people IF YOU RESPECT THEIR CULTURE AND TRADITIONS.
In any tribe/society, there are also bad and ignorant people. these are the bad apples that spoil the lot.
however, the biggest problem in Nigeria today is in- born hatred of others outside our tribes. The iboman hates the hausas by merely seeing him and hearing his voice.
the yoruba hates the ibo man with the same yardstick and the ibos does the same thing to the yorubaman. people don't take time to know anybody anymore.
the hausaman gave his blood to save the yorubas/edos from the ibos during the civil war. the edos fought alongside the hausa to save the yorubas when it mattered most.
who knows if by now, the edos and yorubas would have been slaves under the ibos if Ojukwu succeeded
. we don't hate the ibos for trying to create biafra. that is
in the past.
Awolowo created free education and gave scholarships during his western region rule, 99% of those who got scholarships to study abroad (London)were yorubas.the edos don't still hate the yorubas for that. we still fought together when it we needed to. we need to move forward. looking back too often, would only hurt our necks.

Your long essay does not mean anything to me. I made my point and it is quite clear. How can you condone the taking of life just because someone is unaway that you are havin a meeting or prayer inside hence they argue outside. Tell me. When has life become so cheap to wastejust like that, if not the barbaric nature of some folks or can i say illitracy.
I believe you are reading news nowadays and see al that is hapeninig arround the country even outside their own home.
