The igbos have nothing to do with this, We are talking about election violence, Have you ever seen the igbos fighting over election?

Buhari will be fighting two wars if he wins. Boko haram in the north and Niger delta militants in the south

bryan1991:



The northerners are not the cause of our problems but the easterners and the southerners. I'm from Benin City I hate the igbo's and any body who possess their greedy features.....they are the one's deceiving the people in Delta, Port Harcourt and Bayelsa.

GodMode:



30-50 years from now there will be no buhari or gej or fashola...

It will be our mates that will be in power... Most of them are reading either as users or guests and they are taking notes of comments here...

MayorofLagos:


they need to modify their threat to say in SS/SE where they have territorial control. SW is full blast Buhari/Osinbajo. If Ijaw try anything in Yorubaland they better be damn sure they first stockpile enough food to last 3yrs for their sustenance.

We will blow up the oil pipes and turn their land to an inferno of lasting hell.

shyyte, of all people Ijaw threatening war......since when? Madafvckrs!

Which they refuse to do, and if they refuse to do it now....they won't under division.

Also, the problem with most of you Nigerians that I regard as a poor omen for any future division....you are too reliant on government. All of you expect govt to solve your problems. And you expect them to do it by giving you money.

You also have a poor attitude towards education. You do not see it as a means of innovation, you see it as a means of eating money as a first class clerk in govt or in the oil company.

If this country splits....we won't get nations of innovators....we would get resource hungry nations....and the inevitable war over resources.Which is why I urge you Nigerians to get serious minded leaders....because a serious minded leader would develop regions to the point where they would be sustainable without having to rely on exports of resources. But.,....anytime I suggest that here....you people either say that 'there is nobody'' or ''they are all bad'' or ''He is a Hausa/Igbo/Yoruba...so no vote. Do you expect such people with such attitudes to form a serious country.? Or countries.

That ultimately is why I oppose Nigeria splitting up....it is not because it is a bad idea...it is because Nigerians have not learned to be self sufficient. We are a nation of parasites. The recent stats released prove it...almost all the states rely on money from Abuja, except Lagos.(take lagos away from SW....and SW would just be as dependent on oil). We are also tribalist....and a split nation would unleash the forces of tribalism in a destructive way. So ,for now....you Nigerians have got to stop being so dependent....and start working for your money. Because you people want to split because you feel you are not getting enough oil money because of the Hausas...(and the Hausas want to rule because they think the South is cheating them out of their fair share of resources).

But, I won't convince you. And for that matter most Nigerians. I guess I am all alone in this thinking. And I guess it is somewhat naive. But...naivety, or no naivety....the big picture is splitting a nation of dependents won''t end well. Best we get leaders who wean us off the dependency first.

And I foresee a redeemed country.

These guys should shut it. What's the hullabaloo about exactly?? Did anyone threaten to attack Jonathan's supporters in the North??

Nigeria will survive.

useless Ijaw youths. why threatening people in the south? so if some of their own brothers and sisters are APC supporters, they will attack and kill them? Am not just a southerner, am a full Niger Delta son and my support and vote goes to Buhari and APC.

bushdoc9919:


I am aware of the violence...but I am also aware that unfortunately.....it rises from the attitude of dependency you Nigerians show...that led to Ijaw Youth calling fire for fire.

You better take my previous post to heart. Because....that is the trouble with you Nigerians.

ndcide:



You are being hypocritical. did you not read where a governor was showing press men threat SMS from those who think they are being betrayed?

If you think we will not ensure that GEJ wins next year, then you must be joking.

He must win and you and your likes can go to war.

Ijaw youths have threatened to attack supporters of the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in southern part of Nigeria.

The youths said on Sunday that they would visit Buhari’s supporters in the South with violence if the loyalists of President Goodluck Jonathan should be attacked in the North.

The Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide said the decision to attack Buhari’s supporters was informed by reports that some persons in the North had resorted to sending open threat messages to pro-Jonathan governors and other supporters.

In a statement by the IYC spokesperson, Mr. Eric Omare, the youths said, “All Nigerians irrespective of his or her place of origin has a right to contest for the presidency of Nigeria and Nigerians have a right to support any candidate of their choice without molestation.

“It would be recalled that hundreds of Nigerians, especially NYSC members were killed and properties worth millions of naira destroyed in the aftermath of the 2011 elections as a result of similar undemocratic disposition of some elements in the North.”

“We of southern Nigeria have not at any time threatened or attacked supporters of General Buhari; hence any threat or attack on supporters of President Jonathan in the north would be visited with proportionate action from us in the south.

“Governors Amaechi, (Rochas) Okorocha and (Adams) Oshiomole; Timipre Silva, John Oyegun, Bola Tinubu and other supporters of General Buhari in southern Nigeria are going about their campaigns without any molestation from southerners.

“Enough is enough for those who promised and are making northern Nigeria ungovernable for President Jonathan. If they want their own country, let them say so as we can no longer accept the ‘Extreme North Must Rule’ mentality of some northerners.”

The north caused all these rubbish, I guess no one has monopoly for violence. Bunch of Extremists!!!

bushdoc9919:


You better not wish for a divided Nigeria....because the consequences of such could be very very disastrous.

Yes, Nigeria is a contraption, but if we split up this contraption, we would end up with dozens of squabbling, small states, millions of refugees, and did I mention that Boko won't suddenly sit down and say ''Peace''?.

Worse, we would have a war for resources, and control of land and people. Big tribes will attack and conquer small tribes in wars that would lead to a large refugee crisis.

In short....Somalia writ large.

You know something about you Nigerians.....you are not really interested in development. You just want to chop....regardless of whether your GDP can sustain it. That is why you fight over oil money like a group of banshees, and cry war when you don't get what you want.

If you want division of Nigeria , fine. Even I myself sometimes think it might be a good idea. But unfortunately, I don't want to see what happened in India and Pakistan in 1947-8 repeat itself here.I don't want the Civil War part 2 repeated here. I want you and other Nigerians to seriously force your leaders to work for you....and to stop seeing government as a means to fill your stomach to the brim. Because that is what is fueling this talk of division.

Better reverse your prayer and your 'prophecy'. Instead....for once pray for serious mindedness amongst Nigerians and their leaders. (Note-I did not tell you to vote for any party).

God bless you. Igbos haven't learn anything about their past mistakes. I don't even know what we are gaining in associating with this egocentric set of people? Free the igbos, let them have their biafra! This people are so partial in their dealings, they can never call a spade a spade.

Y1bos said the same thing, until their malfunctioning compass was re-calibrated for them at Ore.

Hausas said same, until the Idi Araba and Ketu/Mile2 testing testing treatment.

We always give people long rope to hand themselves. You will need 1000 Tompolos and 5000 Asaris.
