is a pre-requisite for any environment that seeks to have



PEACE

Queen Latifah ormahleechar nm, ormahleechar m, ormahleecharm, omalicha nm, omalicha m, omalicham, having identified that

permit me to narrow down the scope of this piece to the instance of NIGERIA a country whose citizenship i hold

and further permit me to narrow down the scope of this piece to the instance of the EEGBOE / EEBOE / EBOE / IBOE / IBO / EBO / IGBO LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA whose nativity i hold.




Queen Latifah ohbee nm, ohbee m, ohbeem, obi nm, obi m, obim, in this regards i wish to say that it would seem that

the rumours regarding
some happenstances
(👆🏿 .. should that be many or an increasing number of happenstances.. ) in
the EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA
are
at the very least
worrisome
regarding the security of lives and properties? in the area



and

that anything and everything that can be done by stakeholders
… including
the high and mighty
the middle level placed folks
the lower level placed folks

to ensure good security in the EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA
is
welcome
very welcome
and
should be done.




you know,
Queen Latifah nnmah nm, nnmah m, nnmahm, nmah nm, nmah m, nmahm, nma nm, nma m, nmam,
it is a matter of deep worry
that
an area
that was a
part of the Biafra Territory
( 1967 A.D to 1970 A.D )
and survived
.. albeit with deep scars the onslaught of that war ..
and also survived
and CONTAINED i.e PUT A STOP TO
the insecurity that manifested in the area in the immediate years after that war
( circa 1970 A.D ? 1971 A.D ? 1972 A.D ? )

is today
( circa JANUARY 2025 A.D )
many years later
in peace-time in Nigeria
seemingly overwhelmed
by challenges to
the safety and general security of
the lives of it’s residents and inhabitants.


you know,
Queen Latifah omalicha nm,
if there is not much investment
at the level of
the MicroEconomy
the Small & Medium Scale Enterprises
the MacroEconomy
in any given area

this sort of state of things
will have a negative impact
on
employment of skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled labour in that area
and
therefore on
income earning opportunities
in that area

and
as a result of
that general biting? lack of mainstream? income earning opportunities

folks may be
in order to survive and stay alive

PUSHED BY CIRCUMSTANCES INTO

Kidnapping for Ransom
i.e
Kidnapping folks and holding such folks hostage until the relatives of the kidnapped folks pay some money for the release of the kidnapped hostages,
Selling of the Organs of killed kidnapped victims whose relatives were unable to pay for their release to Organ Harvesters either for Ritual Purposes or for Medical? Purposes as some ailing patients may require a kidney transplant for example and such organs may be sourced through this means even if this route is not in tandem with Medical Ethics, etc


however,
Queen Latifah nnkeh nm ( nkem ),
we are probably
jumping the gun a bit here
and
perhaps we should do this
step by step
and
in some sort of sequence.


for a start,
let me say that

PRIOR TO THE 1967 – 1970 PERIOD

the
GENERAL SECURITY
OF
LIVES AND PROPERTIES
IN THE EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA

seemed to
.. according to rumours ..
be good.

also,

IN THE 1972? – 2014 PERIOD

the
GENERAL SECURITY
OF
LIVES AND PROPERTIES
IN THE EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA

seemed to
.. according to rumours ..
be good.


however,
according to rumours,
some time shortly after May? 2015,

there was a
strange incidence
somewhere in
THE EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA

where a bus carrying passengers
was halted
in broad daylight
by
Fulani? tribe? herdsmen
armed with AK 47 Rifles and other dangerous weapons
and
some Igbo tribe women
.. 3? women or 2? women depending on the rumourer telling the rumour ..
were
kidnapped
and
taken away by
the Fulani? tribe? herdsmen

Queen Latifah obim,
the thing about the internet
is that it is not 100% reliable
as a source of information
as
even stuff that was viral
at the initial time they were posted
on the internet
seem to sort of
disappear
or
be archived?
over time

however i will search to see if this rumour is still up any where on the internet and if i am able to see a reference to it i will post it up here.

in any case,
Queen Latifah omalicha nm,
today 2025 A.D
i.e
2025 A.D – 2015 A.D = 10 years later
there
do not seem to
be any rumours
rumoring that the kidnapped ladies were rescued and re-united with their families.


according to rumours
this happenstance may mark
the beginning of
strange activities
rumoured to be linked to
Fulani tribe herdsmen in
THE EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA
from 2015
till date 2025
and counting ?

Queen Latifah obim,
as we have noted earlier,
the internet
is not a very reliable source
of information
as stuff posted up
seem to disappear or be archived
with time

however
i will check to see if
there are any rumours posted up
on the internet
referencing negative activities
linked to
Fulani tribe herdsmen
in
THE EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA
in the period
2015 to 2025
and
if i see any
i will post them here.

given the CENTRAL FOCUS
of this piece
i will not expand the material to include
INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN NIGERIA
INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN MIDDLE BELT NIGERIA
INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
ACTIVITIES OF TERRORISTS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
ACTIVITIES OF INSURGENTS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
RUMOURS OF BOKO HARAM IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
ACTIVITIES RUMOURED TO BE LINKED TO FULANI TRIBE HERDSMEN IN SOUTHERN AND WESTERN NIGERIA i.e SOUTH WEST NIGERIA i.e YORUBA LANGUAGE SPEAKING NIGERIA
as it may be helpful if
i remain focused on the central theme of our current discourse.


Queen Latifah obim,
what is very worrisome is that
recent rumours
seem to suggest that

CURRENTLY?
AND
MAYBE SINCE
THE END-SARS UPHEAVALS
( ..👆🏿 I guess you can Google this .. )


the
Kidnappings
and
other negative activities
in
THE EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA
seem to

increasingly be done

by

MEMBERS OF THE IGBO/IBO/EEBOE/EEBOE TRIBE THEMSELVES

so at a guess
THE EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA
is
according to rumours
CURRENTLY
witnessing an onslaught of
negative activities from
BOTH
FULANI TRIBE HERDSMEN
AND
MEMBERS OF THE
IGBO/IBO/EEBOE/EEBOE TRIBE THEMSELVES

and
as we have noted earlier

GOOD SECURITY
RELIABLE SECURITY
STRONG SECURITY
EFFECTIVE SECURITY
EFFICIENT SECURITY
RESPONSIVE SECURITY
CONSISTENT SECURITY
CONTINUAL SECURITY

is a pre-requisite for any environment that seeks to have

PEACE
STABILITY
SAFETY OF THE LIVES OF IT’S RESIDENTS / INHABITANTS
SAFETY OF THE PROPERTIES OF IT’S RESIDENTS / INHABITANTS
A CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND GENERAL DAY TO DAY LIVING

and anything and everything that can be done by stakeholders
… including
the high and mighty
the middle level placed folks
the lower level placed folks

to ensure good security in the EEBOE LANGUAGE SPEAKING AREA OF NIGERIA
is
welcome
very welcome
and
should be done.
