Let every region have their own country and manage their resources, enough of Federal character, quota system. Enoug if having a military, police, customs, immigration etc that is dorminated and run by northerners, enough is enough. There are quite a number of Southerners in the solid minerals sector Ma'am.

You can't just force us out of the North and steal our properties you can't afford on your own, it's not the way. You people can't survive in any war against us if foreign powers don't assist you. Igbos of today are more advance in every field of life and very lethal.
As we Igbos are calling for a referendum to end this terrible union, why not join us to do it, so that we can all agree to part ways legally and peacefully? We don't want to have a country with you, that's why we've been protesting peacefully for you Northerners and Yorubas to let us go! 1 Like |

Yep! You got that, right! ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) According to them: dobokiy: As the debate on national question continues, a coalition of Igbo professionals in Nigeria and the Diaspora under the aegis of Igbo Ekunie Initiative, has called on the Federal Government to organise a referendum to determine the continuity of the country as a united entity. In a letter addressed to the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, which was also a reaction to the previous letter written by the Arewa youth to the acting president, the Igbo group urged the presidency to, as a matter of urgency, pass a motion that will allow all sections of the nation campaign for, and hold a referendum to freely determine if they want to remain in Nigeria or not.
In the letter, president of the group, Tochukwu Ezeoke, noted that the motion would serve as a final, peaceful and civilized settlement of the ever-increasing contradictions and bloodletting that has long plagued the nation.... http://guardian.ng/politics/igbo-professionals-call-for-national-referendum/ They want the Northerners to apologise for detaining IPOB members too, and are also demanding that property rights be given to them, on a platter of gold. ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) dobokiy: ....Igbo Ekunie Initiative also said it hopes the north would apologize for all the incarcerated and murdered members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ‘whose only crime was the peaceful expression or non-violent demonstrations for their right to self-determination as recognised by the UN and African Union (AU) charters.”
According to the Igbo group, “The quit notice issued by Arewa youths demonstrates the ignorance and consequent failure to realize that residency rights like property rights as governed by international law transcend citizenship.
“Thus Nigerians live in Ghana, America, the United Kingdom and elsewhere even without being citizens. Likewise, British citizens living in other parts of the EU have not left because of ‘Brexit’. “The ongoing developments in the country have once again shown why Nigeria remains the dreg of humanity and a failed state where basic indices of civilization and rule of law are absent.”
