I SERIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THESE PEOPLE AGAIN. TWITTER IS OWNED BY JACK AND A FEW OF HIS COLLEAGUES. HE DOESN'T ANSWER TO NIGERIA OR EVEN AFRICA. IF YOU DON'T LIKE TWITTER, THEN KINDLY LEAVE!! THEY GAVE YOU THEIR RULES WHEN YOU WERE SIGNING UP. THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT SAYING. HOW CAN A WHOLE NATION BE WORRYING OVER A TWEET? JUST ONE TWEET O!!! "Feel at home" na e make visitor dey spoil remote. If Twitter owners decide they want to TOTALLY shut down the company for their own reasons, let's see whether buhari will call DSS to beat them. When they suspended Trump, he went to create his own site, now he can write anything he likes without anyone suspending or deleting his write ups. BUHARI AND HIS BOYFRIENDS SHOULD GO TO CRÓWWE AND STOP DISTURBING THOSE THAT WANT TO STAY ON TWITTER. Buhari likes Eba while the citizens like Jollof rice, but buhari wants the entire citizens to eat Eba because the woman selling jollof rice cautioned him.

This is the president Nigeria needs. Tough and doesn't give a FVCK about cry babies.
Most importantly, smart and innovative and always willing to take tough unpopular but prudent decisions.

RE: NORTHERN COALITION GROUP GENOCIDAL STATEMENT

It is with a deep sense of concern for the peace of our
land, the safety of our people across the country,
especially in the north, and the general situation of
Nigeria that we wish to address this matter
We are appalled by the recently released testament of
lies and the compendium of deceit, pettiness,
propaganda, and devious falsehood peddled against
Igbo people, as truths of history and reflection of the
present happenings in the country by a group of ethnic
jingoists and hypocrites known as the Coalition of
Northern Groups
1. HISTORICAL REALITIES

The lgbo people have strived to be an example of what it means
to be Nigerian anywhere they have found themselves in all nooks
and crannies of not only Nigeria, but everywhere in the world,
and as a matter of principles and culture, they always contribute
immensely in the building of those communities wherever thev
are domiciled. The lgbo people are globally known to be very
hospitable and accommodating of other peoples
have since even before Nigeria's independence, found a pcaceful
home in lgboland where they are accepted as friends, brothers,
and sisters, and fellow citizens. Many of them were born and grew
up here with us, raising their own families
This inborn Igbo hospitality is demonstrated by the sheer number
of northerners that are doing their businesses in lgboland and
living among the locals where an uncountable number of them
live rent-free as some lgbo landlords give them accommodations
without collecting any payement for as long as they sojourn among us.
This reality was also demonstrated by the Igbo people when they
elected a Fulani cattle dealer, Umoru Altine as the first Mayor of
Enugu against a son of the soil, Mr. Ezechi from the same Enugu.
Umoru Altine was elected two times by the lgbo people to lead
them in the mostly lgbo-dominated capital of Eastern Nigeria.
Mallam Umoru Yishau, another northerner was also elected by
Igbo people to the Eastern House of Chiefs

2. COMMITMENT TO NIGERIA

The Igbo people have also been at the forefront of promoting.
projecting, and accentuating the image of Nigeria at home and
globally, excelling in every area of human endeavour and making
Nigeria proud.
The first military coup in Nigeria had the participation of officers
from different parts of the country and even though they made
mistakes, the coup was greeted with jubilation all over the
country, including in the North until it was termed an "igbo
coup", an unfortunate lie that has persisted to this day. Due to
this propaganda, there have been series of mindless killings of
gbo people in the North, while members of the security forces of
Nigeria, either colluded or simply looked away, while the people
whose lives and properties they had pledged to protect where
attacked, maimed or killed.
No trials or arrests were made. Since then, the North has killed an uncountable number of lgbo people,
with none of the criminals ever apprehended or justice served. Our
National Youth Corp members sent to the north who are contributing
to the progress and unity of the country are killed because the north

lost an election

3. NORTHERN JIHADIST TERRORISTS
We are all aware of the formation of terrorist groups by Northerners
whose main aim has always been to divide the country by creating a
separate Islamic region where they can practice Sharia law. This was
initiated by Northern governors who do not believe in democracy,
unity of Nigeria, or the secular nature of the Nigerian State.
The implementation of Sharia law in the North has led to mindless
uprisings in which the lgbo people were always the target they were
killed in their numbers and their properties vandalized.
Igbo people are constantly targeted and attacked in the N
most flimsy of reasons like the drawing of a cartoon in faraway
Denmark or the loss of an election by northern politicians.
In all these unprovoked massacres, we simply counted our losses,
buried our loved ones and continued to pursue peace with our killers
and unity of Nigeria and stay with those who see us as their enemies.

4. TERRIBLE RECENT EVENTS

Since 2015, these killing of lgbo people have increased in intensity
with a different dimension, where the Fulani terrorists known as

herdsmen, who are the militant jihadist wing of the north sent to kill
Igbo people and take away their land, now are bolder
Their hatred for the Igbo people leads them to always look for excuses
to kill Ndigbo and occupy Igboland
This has been noted in the way the security forces which are mainly
composed of the Northerners, treat ordinary lgbo people in lgboland
with beastly cruelty. It was also the reason why the north was vocal in
pushing the false narrative that lgbo people were behind the
destructions during the #EndSARS protests, even when it is obvious
that lgbo people lost more, and would lose more in such a situation,
reasons for which they can never support or participate in such
destruction of public property.The terrorists Fulani herdsmen have
rendered our parents childless; our children orphans; and raped our
mothers and daughters.
The north also, with their accomplices, wickedly murdered their son, a
friend of the Imo people and a patriotic Nigerian Ahmed Gulak, just
to instigate chaos in lgboland and have a strong reason to carry out
their threatened genocide in lgboland with their security forces, and
occupy the place
The massacre of lgbo people and sacking of villages across lgboland
has continued till this day by the northern sponsored terrorists, with
the active support of the federal security forces
This sponsored anarchy and killing culture created the perfect

atmosphere for the north to kill their son in Imo state and
immediately accuse Ndigbo before asking for investigations
It should be noted that Fulani terrorists invaded the Niger state
residence and assassinated NECO chairman, Prof. Obioma an Igbo
man from Abia state and the Nigerian government refused to take
actions to apprehend the murderers. Also, there have been constant
burning of markets and igbo people places of business in Abuja, Niger,
Kano and Kaduna by Fulani terrorists. The Fulani led Nigerian
government has turned a blind eye to all these carnages and have also
militarised the South East with Federal Security forces who kidnap
and extrajudicially murder thousands of young lgbo civilians.
We are tired of living in Nigeria with parasites like Northern Nigeria,
who do not have any natural resources, thus does not contribute
anything to this contraption, instead with their positions in
government, they have become overly corrupt and nepotistic in
governance, by appointing only northerners in position of authority
with total disregard to the "federal character" enshrined in Nigeria's
constitution. They have also used their position in government to
frustrate the development of southeast we must resist this!
The ethnic disturbances in the north have always been the desire of
the trouble-making group and they have been doing this even before

Nigeria's independence. Unfortunately, in all of these the north has
always targeted the lgbo people living peacefully among them for
elimination for no reason. Despite the provocations and the killings,
igbo people have always gone back to the north, reintegrated back
into the society and rebuilt everything again, contributing to the
northern communities and the general northern economy in the
spirit of love, unity, and one Nigeria
5. DRUG, GUNS, AND CRIME



It is common knowledge that northern bandits and criminal cartels
smuggle drugs and illegal arms through the deliberately designed
porous northern borders with other African
countries. And even though the entire security architecture of Nigeria
has been nepotistically skewed in favor of the north, including the
Nigeria Customs and immigration services, they only order strict border
closures in the South while assisting the northern criminal syndicates

with links to terrorists in other African counties to smuggle arms and
illicit drugs into Nigeria through the porous Northern borders for use by
terrorists to destabilize Nigeria. Some of these arms and drugs
eventually find their way down to the south, which they use to destroy
our youths and weaken our region. In all these, no terrorist has been

arrested

6. NORTHERN HATE

This dangerous hatred and genocidal tendencies among younger
northern people is deeply steeped in the chain of generational lies and
hateful false narratives being handed down by their parents, politicians,
Imams, and religious leaders who use the mosques as a breeding space

for such hateful indoctrination

The Igbo people are known globally as peaceful, patient, reliable,
resourceful, and friendly. We have never evicted or given any orders for
any peoples to leave our region even during the war times. The
northerners that left our region were given a cover and well protected,

while our people who were fleeing the genocide in the north were cut
down, including children and the unborn who were still in the womb.
The same evil continues today by the Fulani jihadists via their proxies in

the name of herdsmen terrorists

7. BIAFRA GENOCIDE MEMORIAL (SIT AT HOME)

Over 3.5 million Igbo people were killed during the war by the federal
forces bombing markets, hospitals and other civilian spaces. And , by
deliberate starvation of millions of lgbo children. We decided to honour
the memory of our fallen kinsmen and women, by observing one day of
rest. This simple act of honouring the memory of our slain kinsmen and
kinswomen, made Northerners, via the national TV, to place the Federal
Government on notice, that they have given the lgbo people a 90-day
ultimatum to vacate the North or to be killed and our properties taken

over.

This is not the first time that the North has issued such directive to lgbo
people living in the North, and as with the other directives that also
resulted in the loss of lives and properties of the Igbo people, till date,

not one of those who issued the directive has been arrested or

questioned for threatening a section of the country, or for inciting the
killing of, or pushing the lgbo people out of Nigeria and dividing a
sovereign country.
I.We are urging you to use your respected position in Ala-lgbo
and Nigeria to call on every Igbo residing in Northern Nigeria
to come back home, to avoid another pogrom against Igbo
people by these Northerners who have eternal hatred against
Igbo people and are ready to do anything to wipe us out of
existence. The North's hatred for the lgbo people is because of
our republican nature, our zeal for life, our enterprising and
industriousness which has made us economically progressive,
even after the Northern led Nigerian Government committed
genocide against the lgbo people during the Biafra war. They
cannot fathom how we bounced back economically after the
£20 our parents and grandparents got from Nigeria, post-
Biafra war.

2. Secondly, the Federal Government should immediately
remove the military from Alaigbo within the next 24 hours..
3 Thirdly, we want to secede from Nigeria. Secession will
solve this recurring problem with the tribalistic, retrogressive,
and terrorist-infested Northern Nigeria. Secession will enable
us to build the lgbo nation of our dreams, one without
marginalization, where everyone thrives in a progressive socio
economic sphere.
4. Finally, this is to a sound note of warning to all political
leaders in the South East, to stand up in support and defence
of Igbo people and our homeland from all these unprovoked
attacks and murderous raiding of our communities, raping of
our mothers and sisters and killing of our people by the Fulani
jihadists and murder of innocent Igbo youths by their security
forces. Should they fail to honour their duty of serving and
defending lgbo people and our homeland, and remain silent in
the face of the on-going marginalization and killing of the lgbo
people nationwide, posterity will judge them and we will hold

them accountable for their failure and inaction.

Signed:
The coalition of lgbo Groups (COIG)

This Twitter suspension reveals the divide between Nigeria's north and south. While northern politicans are senselessly queuing up to defend Buhari, most politicans in the south are deeply concerned because Buhari dragged other 200m Nigerians into his fracas with the microblogging platform.

We can pretend all we want, the deep chasm between the north and south cannot be covered with mere poltiical talks and calls for a united Nigeria. Our values are miles apart.
