Middle Belt Youths Offer Igbos Safe Haven After Ultimatum By Northern Youth by Nobody: 3:07pm On Jun 07, 2017
The Middle Belt Youth Council (MBYC) has offered the Igbos accommodation if the Northern youths send them away from their states
It was earlier reported that the Coalition of Northern Youths (CNY) in a statement on Tuesday, June 6, in Kaduna, issued a three month ultimatum to Igbos to vacate the northern region or be evicted.
Information gathered says that MBYC in a statement signed by the president, Emma Zopmal on Wednesday, June 7, said they were ready to offer Igbos safe haven in their land for them to continue with their life.

"We wish to express our profound gratitude to God for keeping us alive today. Middle Belt Youth Council is extremely concerned about the ongoing regional tension in Nigeria today and we want to make our position clear to the world.
In the light of incessant threats to one Nigeria posed by killer-herdsmen, we want to call on good people of Middle Belt to first of all, support the Anti-grazing Bill.
Grazing by Fulani herdsmen on our land has become the major cause of conflicts in our region therefore, we're calling for total ban on open grazing so as to save the lives of our people and their farmlands.
Secondly, it's no longer news that our country Nigeria is facing a daunting challenge of peace and unity but we want to assure the good citizens of Nigeria that we have been a peace-loving people and we'll continue to be.
But, in an event one part of the country decides to go away as a separate entity, Middle Belt is also ready to make an independent statement.
We want to clarify those who think that the Middle Belt is part of the North: God created everywhere and everyone and He gave it to whom he chooses and Middle Belt is a creation of God and not man (Usman bn Fodio).
Therefore, we choose what to use our land for, how to run it and where we want to be. Middle Belt has been a home for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, South-South and the South-West without any form of discrimination against anyone.
We've accommodated every Nigerian for centuries now. We deserve respect and commendations."

I'm not surprise that despite the numerous efforts by groups, Nigerians and the gov't to make sure that Nigeria remains one united country, some primitive and barbaric minded people are there to utterly destroy and frustrate that effort. As I always say "NIGERIA IS JUST A SHOW"

I like the press release, the middle belt region is a very beautiful place. No religious extremisism, peace loving and most of all - hard working. They produce the most food in Nigeria.

It always pain me whenever I read the news of Fulani hardsmen attacking their farmers and unarmed people.
Is it pathetic that the said Arewa youth who should have focused on the incessant killings by the Fulani herdsmen in the region and other parts of Nigeria ignored it to issue security threat autumatum.
