Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has weighed in on the heightened ethnic tension around the country following an Ultimatum issued to the Igbos in the north to leave the region by a Northern youth forum.

Jonathan took to his social media page to state that Nigerians have the right to live in any part of the country. The former leader wrote;

Every Nigerian citizen has an inalienable right to reside in any part of Nigeria. As Nigerians, we should all tailor our thoughts, actions and utterances to promote this and other rights. We are all brothers and sisters born from the womb of mother Nigeria. There are no still births or unwanted births from our mother. We are all one and equal and it is the responsibility of all men of goodwill to appeal for calm and unity in our beloved country Nigerians. GEJ.

The statement by the Arewa Northern Youths Forum, ANYF, ordering all Igbos out of all the 19 northern states has been met with wide condemnation from the country's leaders. Kaduna state governor, El-rufai has even called for the arrest of the leaders of the forum.

This lily-livered drunk failure.....Igbos have never been scared of the Hausas and we are waiting patiently....
We will show them that Zobo is not Blackcurrant.

see as everyone dey react lol ,they know the people that chest beat on false ultimatum.

Fake

YES. Every Nigerian citizen have a constitution right to stay wherever they like to stay as far as Nigeria is consign. we the igbos should not feel threating by those low life northern. shay dey say one Nigeria, so shall it be

Jonathan has spoken, let's respect him

To be honest, I don't see what all this fuss is about. All these reactions are just giving the so-called ultimatum a tinge of authenticity.

Tens, if not hundreds of like ultimatums have been issued in the past, but just end up fruitless and hollow. The reactions by 'well-meaning' Nigerians are just giving a bunch of miscreants irrelevant relevance.


To think of it, no such ultimatums were given before the pogroms of the 60's.


Another round of ethnic cleansing would only fasttrack the secession the Biafrans have been clamouring for. The only tragedy would be the collateral damage on both sides.


Make October do reach quick quick abeg, make person hear word.

I'M TIRED OF THIS ZOO OF A COUNTRY

Let them carry out their threat first and let's see if UN Referendum will not take place the next day

October 1st, if the Northerners refused to act on their words, then shall we call them cowards


Afonjas, send this message to your masters up North

They are cowards if they don't implement their threat on October 1st

He is right but they're the once creating this mess

wetin concern him? why he never speak or react while Igbos are issuing their threats? we are not southwest were you declare a no man's land and you are still existing, we never tolerate nonsense even in the past.

please Buhari give them their country, let us see how drugs and baby factory can develop a country

or please join them with niger deltans, let them kill themselves as the case with south sudan

for your own information all hausas lving in igboland are advised to come back home, if not you are on your own

we are not ipod chest beaters, a mere ultimatum they are already panicking we belive in action not words of mouth

So much for one Nigeria 50 years after the civil war.

HONESTLY,
THESE IGBO, Igbos, MASSOBS & BIAFRANS ARE ALL COWARDS. KAWAI
JUST A MERE THREAT FROM A YOUTH FORUM. SEE SHAKY SHAKY EVERYWHERE.
LEARNT THE NNAMDI IS EVEN MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO TRAVEL TO CÔTE DI VOIRE
THE GOVERNORS ALREADY PANICKING
KAI SHEGE

Jonathan should talk to his brother who is delighting in drumming for war..

October 1st, the Northern youths must carry out their threat or forever be called cowards


They must announce to the world that they don't Biafrans in Northern Nigeria

This Abuja declaration saga has pointed out the already known fact that the ibos noise about biafra is not well intentioned. The call for Biafra is the default mode the ibos set into whenever they loose out in the politics at the center.


I had expected that the ibos, in furtherance of their biafra agitation, would have simply left the North, following the quit notice the Arewa Youths served them.

The ibos want to break away from Nigeria but at the same time they want to remain in other part of Nigeria.

The ibos want an independent iboland but at the same time they keep running away from iboland.

Your adopted brothers re the ones shouting zoo up/down, an ultimatum was issued they don dey piss/shit for body due to fear.
This is a great opportunity to leave the zoo.

GEJ,the wonderful man still giving PMB and apc goverment sleepless nights two years after.

nkowalo:
YES. Every Nigerian citizen have a constitution right to stay wherever they like to stay as far as Nigeria is consign.

Nigerians are permitted to stay anywhere in Nigeria but biafrans are not permitted.

Another chemical reactor.
