Long overdue

the north and there evil agender

■ For now, all looks calm after FG’s order against
registration, deportation of non-indigenes
Perhaps, the march to true federalism in Nigeria may have
begun inadvertently, taking into account the recent
agitation by some elements of Hausa Fulani extraction in
the North for the registration and relocation of
southerners in the region.
The 1D card crisis, which started rather innocuously, in the
form of a petition to the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Mohammadu
Sanusi 11, last week, has transformed into an avoidable
headache as the campaigners, Arewa Youth Development
Foundation, and their allies, seemed to have captured the
passion of their people and provoked, by means of their
threats, a huge fright among southerners resident in the
region.
The petitioners, who said they consisted of several cells,
among them students, professional and interests groups
in the North, had arrived the Emir’s palace in buses and
their personal cars on Wednesday last week. Some of them
were students, who were hurriedly dragged out of school
by the organisers of the protest while some others were
just of school age, but may not be students. They also
consisted of a handful of girls, aged between 25 and 30
years.
The group had audience with the emir at about 11.00 am,
where they reeled out a number of allegations against the
Federal Government and the people of Southern Nigeria.
National President of Arewa Youth Development
Foundation (AYDF), Barrister Aliyu M Usman, who spoke
for the group, lamented the North’s alleged misfortunes
under the current dispensation, attributing their woes to
the deliberate policies of the government.
The emir, who listened to them with rapt attention, offered
a few consoling pieces ofadvice, including urging them to
live in peace with other Nigerians in their state and region.
That, however, did not assuage the youth group. Soon
after their petition to the monarch, members of the group
converged outside the palace for the second phase of the
script, which was a rally. It was not certain if they had the
approval of the emir for the staging of the rally in his
premises.
The youth, about 100 them, soon broke into smaller units
of tens, representing different sets in the North, each unit
carrying placards and banners that spoke a lot. While a
few of these placards conveyed messages about the plights
of northerners resident in the South, a majority of them
simply poured hot, unprintable insults on the people of
southern Nigeria and their leaders. The rally at the palace
turned out as avenue to castigate southerners, their
leaders and their sensibilities.
Some of the placards read: “Southerners: Children of baby
factory” “Southerners: You are kidnappers, militants,
armed robbers.”
Barrister Aliyu .M Mohammed, who read the position of
the Arewa Youth Development Foundation (AYDF) amid
applause of his peers, explained that since the inception of
the present administration, there is a systematic policy of
direct subjugation of northerners by the Federal
Government and its agencies, in collaboration with various
state governments of Southern Nigeria and their religious
and ethnic leadership.
He alleged that there is a war of extermination in most
northern cities, particularly in the Northeast, where he said
that in the last five years, more than 20,000 northerners,
most of whom are youths have been killed, maimed,
orphaned, widowed, kidnapped or permanently displaced.
He alleged that there is an agenda to displace the
economic base of northerners, citing the recapitalization of
commercial banks, done years ago and the recent increase
in the minimum paid up capital requirement for operators
of Bureau de Change from N10 million to N35 million.
He added that worse, governments of South East, South-
South and South West have lately been intimidating
northern travellers and settlers in their states, citing the
case of 486 northerners “travelling” along Enugu Port
Harcourt Expressway who were arrested by soldiers
attached to the 144 battalion of the Nigeria Army, Abia
State.
He added: “Worse, even a delegation detailed by the Kano
State Government to intervene was downrightly denied
access to the detainees, making the whole act glaringly
suspicious as it is provocative”.
He disclosed that earlier calls by the Jamaatu Nasiril Islam,
led by the Sultan of Sokoto for the suspects’ immediate
release were also rejected while accusing the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) of complicity in the action
given its reaction to JNI intervention on the matter.
He called on all levels of northern governments to come
up with deliberate policies that would require all non-
northerners residing in the North to seek and obtain
settlers’ permit immediately.
He also said that in the event these demands were not
met, “we call on all northerners to rise and support the
peaceful dissolution of this union called Nigeria for every
region to go its own way.”
He declared: “But before this is done, we urge all artisans,
students, public and private sector servants, traders, and
major business holders currently operating, residing or
intending to do so in any part of Southern Nigeria to
relocate back home within the next two weeks.”
He further charged non-northerners residing in any part
of northern Nigeria to relocate to their various regions of
origin within two weeks to make room for accommodating
our northern brothers who will be returning home.

Leibnitz: Long overdue

what is long over due,that some northern groups wants all southerners to relocate back to their regions?.

It is a welcome development. Is the yorubas that am concern for cos I know that many igbos do not have a place to relocate to in the east that will result to majority of them flooding to yoruba land for survival.

Obviously! but if we are going to be honest with ourselves we all know the northerners didn't start this, now it seems all the noise from those that started (the drifters) isn't real after all.
