A Cry for Help from Southern Benue Igbo Communities.

The Igbo communities in southern Benue State—particularly in Obi, Oju, and Ado Local Government Areas—are under siege. These peaceful and hardworking people are facing relentless attacks by armed Fulani militants. Homes are being destroyed, families torn apart, and innocent lives lost. Entire communities have been displaced, forced to flee into the forests with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

As a minority group in Benue, the Igbos in these areas have long been marginalized and overlooked. Now, in the face of violent ethnic cleansing, they are more vulnerable than ever. Children are growing up amid fear, hunger, and trauma. Elderly people, women, and men are left without shelter, medical care, or hope. Yet their cries for help go largely unheard by the broader public and government.

We call on the Igbo people of the South-East and South-South regions: this is a time for unity. Our brothers and sisters in southern Benue need us—morally, materially, and politically. Let us not forget them. Their lives matter. Their suffering is our suffering.

We also urge human rights organizations, the media, and the international community to shine a light on this crisis and pressure the Nigerian government to act decisively.

This is not just a regional issue. It is a humanitarian emergency. Justice, peace, and protection are long overdue for the Igbo communities in Obi, Oju, and Ado.

A Sincere Plea for Infrastructural Development in Ezeagu LGA Enugu State.

Over the years, the good people of Ezeagu have continued to show unwavering loyalty to the government of Enugu State through their votes, peaceful coexistence, and community-led development efforts. However, the glaring neglect in terms of basic infrastructure, especially motorable roads and healthcare facilities, has become a serious concern.

The Ebenebe Umumba Ndiagu–Aguobu Umumba Ndiagu Road, a crucial 10.5 km stretch, remains in a deplorable state, turning into a nightmare for commuters and residents alike. This strategic road not only connects several communities but also serves as a border bypass with high economic and security importance. Unfortunately, the poor condition of this road has contributed significantly to increased cases of kidnapping, particularly along the dangerous bends of Ugwu Ebenebe and Ugwu Azingene. Criminals exploit these bad roads to carry out attacks, knowing well that response time from security forces will be delayed due to poor access.

Furthermore, Umumba Ndiagu is a rich agricultural zone, producing abundant foodstuffs and palm wine, which are sold at highly affordable rates. But due to inaccessible roads, local farmers cannot transport their produce efficiently to the markets. This not only affects the local economy but also discourages young people from engaging in agriculture, leading to increased rural-urban migration.

We therefore call on our working Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah , the Honourable Commissioner for Works, and indeed the Enugu State Government to urgently prioritize this neglected area. Charity must begin at home . A single project like the rehabilitation of the Ebenebe–Umumba Ndiagu Road can change the fate of this community and unlock numerous opportunities in trade, security, and youth empowerment.

Ezeagu deserves better.

During the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), a remarkable and mysterious event reportedly took place in Ezeagu, a town in present-day Enugu State. As the conflict between Nigerian federal forces and Biafran troops intensified, the people of Ezeagu turned to their traditional spiritual practices for protection. In a rare show of unity, the chief priests of the various villages within Ezeagu came together to consult their "Chi" the personal gods or guiding spirits of the Igbo people.

Amid growing fear and uncertainty, the spiritual leaders conducted days of joint prayers, libations, and sacred rituals deep within the forests and shrines of the land. Following these solemn invocations, they issued a powerful decree, calling upon divine forces to shield their people from the horrors of war.

What followed has since become part of local legend.

Without warning, swarms of bees emerged from the surrounding forests and descended upon Nigerian federal troops stationed near Ezeagu. The bees were so aggressive and unrelenting that soldiers were forced to abandon their positions, retreating in confusion and terror. The swarm spread as far as neighboring Udi, continuing to harass the military. Locals believe the bees were spiritual messengers, sent by the gods in direct response to the unity, prayers, and sacrifices of the Ezeagu priests.

In the wake of this phenomenon, Ezeagu came to be seen not only as spiritually protected but also as a safe haven. As stories of the divine intervention spread, many Igbos fleeing violence and displacement sought refuge in the town, believing it to be blessed ground, watched over by ancestral spirits. For a time, Ezeagu became a rare sanctuary amid the chaos of war.

To this day, the story of the "Bees of Ezeagu" is remembered with reverence and pride. It stands as a symbol of spiritual resilience, communal unity, and the enduring power of indigenous belief systems during one of Nigeria’s darkest chapters.

We remember the heroes of Biafra.
those who laid down their lives so we might live.
They paid the ultimate price,
their blood nourishing the hope of a people.
In their sacrifice, we find our identity.
In their courage, we find strength to endure.
May we never forget."
