Junaid:

The National Coordinator of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has criticised the call for a sovereign national conference, saying the proponents of the conference are asking for another civil war.

In an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, Mohammed said the conference would not solve the problems of corruption, illiteracy and poverty facing the country and noted that such national conferences had yielded negative results in countries such as Niger Republic, Benin Republic, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

He said, “The most spectacular failure of the national conference system is that of DR Congo. DR Congo is a big country with big problems. It’s a classical example of what you call a failed state. They held a sovereign national conference with so much fanfare. At the end of the day, what they had was not only a coup but a revolution.

“So, I have news for those who believe national conference is the panacea for the problems of Nigeria. Most of the problems of Nigeria today are contextual problems. The sovereign national conference in Nigeria will not solve the problems of corruption, illiteracy and poverty. It will not give an honest and realistic government and it will not give a sincere and responsible revenue allocation formula. These are the problems of Nigeria.

“No country, so far, has disintegrated peacefully. What they are asking or demanding is that we go through another civil war. If they want that, they are more than welcome. But they should be man enough to come out and say we want to disintegrate this country and we are prepared for the consequences. The first consequence is war; the second is the attendant consequences of war. We don’t have anything to fear.”

Mohammed argued that the North had far more advantage over the South, when it comes to war, stating that any set of people who attempt to disintegrate the country would be crushed in the way of Biafra.

“The last time the Igbo carried out their own coup, in which they killed people from other ethnic groups and there was retaliation and they started talking about war, we had war. Who lost? They did.

Over one million lives were lost and over 90 per cent of them were Igbo. And the people who instigated the Igbo to go to war were Lagosians. When they took up the challenge, these people withdrew from them. If they want that now, I wish them good luck” he said.

Ouch!

Junaid, again:

Second Republic member of the House of Representatives and Russian trained Medical Doctor, Junaid Mohammed, has declared that blood would flow on the streets of Nigeria, should President Jonathan insist on running for the presidency in 2015.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sunday Sun from his base in Kano, the former lawmaker, who chaired the House Committee on International Economic Relations and Socialist Bloc, argued that it was wrong for anyone to suggest that the clamour for power to return to the North in 2015, was coming from the North alone, insisting that there abound more agitators in the South-west, in this regard, than there are in the North, adding that "I can tell you today that there are more agitators in the South-west, for power shift to the North, than there are in the North. And they are doing this because they believe in justice and fairness.



If you have faith in a system, you must ensure the system runs fairly and justly too. Apart from the issue of fairness and justice, the South-west knows that it has a lot to lose, should it allow the country to plunge into any political upheaval. Lagos alone, accounts for 45 percent of our national economy, and my friend, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is aware of that notorious fact. So the South-west cannot fold its hands and watch one irresponsible and incompetent leader lead the country into an avoidable political violence. Common sense tells the South-west that it would not be in their interest for this country to convulse again."

ndu_chucks has ran away. lol

Onlytruth: ndu_chucks has ran away. lol

I'll be back momentarily. In the meantime egbe ndi Abriba, piafuka gi isi. ode

And the people who instigated the Igbo to go to war were Lagosians. When they took up the challenge, these people withdrew from them

So, Ojuwku didn't feel like going to war, but Yoruba people pushed him to go to war.


These endless historical re writes are sounding more and more pathetic..

Is this some sort of blackmail or something?

OMG! Never knew that some Northern politicians could be so bloodthirsty and savage!

.

I've always known that core northerners don't need any help in crashing this whole mess. To expedite the collapse you just have to do one thing and one thing only - sit back and sip a big juicy slurpee from big Mac.

nwanne m, Sam_Ikenna, please confirm that you want me to comment of this thread of yours by correcting the spelling of my username in the thread's title. Your laziness and carelessness is unbecoming.

You don't know Northerners I tell you. Go and pick up the book written by Max Siollun titled "Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture 1966-1976". You will never be the same after reading that book.
In July 1966, these people showed the most savage and bloodthirsty nature never seen anywhere in Africa. In a "revenge coup" they killed thousands of innocent people.
If I were Jonathan, I would not only arrest that iidiot, I would also try him for treasonably felony and have him sentenced to death by FIRING SQUAD, just to teach others thinking like him that you cannot threaten the sovereigns (THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA) with violence.
2015 is still far off; people like this should be dealt with promptly. Jonathan is indirectly encouraging every iidiot in Nigeria to threaten him and Nigerians.

Oh I understand you mean. Just a little surprised that you read stuff like this in 2013, and from a so called educated politician!

@Sam_Ikenna, your anger made you miss the most important aspect of Junaid's statements. I reproduce it here:

How can any sane person disagre with the bolded above?

May I ask you how you intend to solve the problems above in biafra, when your superiors all over Nigeria and in the SE in particular, have not yet been able to find viable solutions to date? I hope you do not run away from the question and expect you to tell us your proposed solution. Thanks.

Since you seemed to not to read the below statement, LET ME ASKED YOU ONE QUESTION.

WHAT STOP THE NORTH FROM SECEDING AND FORMING THEIR OWN COUNTRY, IF THEY DONT LIKE OTHER TRIBES TO RULE THEM?

Please note that I respect everyone's personal opinion because I believe that it is their entitlement. The above is simply the opinion of one person and it is foolhardy to say it is the opinion of 'North" or 'South'. The statement I highlighted in my post on the other hand, contain facts which cannot be disputed. I expect you and the likes of Sam_Ikenna to address them truthfully.

Betrayal tribe. Everybody knows about them. Tufiakwa. What a reputation.

No, they want to rule others, always. They won't secede.
This is part of why I personally would want to stay in Nigeria BUT make sure the North NEVER AGAIN rule Nigeria.
The biggest pain to inflict on them is to ensure that they never rule. Ruling to them is like breathing. They asphyxiate when they aren't ruling others.

Ndu, I'm not angry ok. I'm just fed up with the weight you put around my neck. I have only one life to live and I do not intend to waste it anymore chasing shadows and fruitless projects, one of which is "One-Nigeria project" with a people who want to rule and dictate the pace for the rest of us, yet don't have the decency to let us worship or live in peace. They want to lead yet can't make the grade on exams that were administered at same times and under same conditions and rules. So, I'm not angry. As an individual, if I, with 2 points, was given admission or promoted over someone with 138 points I would be really ashamed of myself. So, you see its not about anger rather its about the rest of us being sick of the weight that we've been carrying since 1960. And today we're determined more than ever before to fix or get rid of it by any means necessary.

Now, to answer your hollow questions - you asked how I intend to solve the numerous problems in Biafraland. While the easiest, and perhaps the best answer to it is - not your headache, let me worry about mine while you worry about yours, I will pass on that and say this - My people do not have illiteracy problem ok, that area is core north's headache. The number of graduates SE, SS, or SW produces in a year, I bet it 'll take the core north 5 years to come even close, so Junaid must be high on crack to think his problem is same as mine.

On Poverty: Yes, poverty is uniform in Nigeria but we can agree that the causes are not uniform. Different regions have different causes. In your region men take multiple young and old women alike and keep them dis-empowered, ignorant, and unimaginative with numerous children. These God's children (males) are later shipped to almajiri schools at a tender age and robbed of bright future. Whereas in my own region you see poverty due to institutional economic strangulation that started right after the civil war.

If we had our own self govt we wouldn't beg the FG for 40 years for international airport - true or false? We wouldn't beg the FG for second Niger bridge - am I lying? We wouldn't be helpless in the dredging of river Niger. Those and more were and still are the causes of poverty in Igboland. You know it, I know it, so lets cut the pretenses and be real. I believe we're more production, commerce, and export oriented than other regions - not taking anything from any region 'cause every region has something they're better than the rest at. I just gave you ours.

So, bro if we had our republic like we rightly desired and deserved, we would be at par with some countries like south Korea today. Igbo culture is a culture of "this is your life show us what you got" so when I say we wouldn't be as poor as core north today its not just noise, its a truth that's etched in stone. As matter of fact no region in Nigeria would resemble core north in any way should the inevitable happens - that's the hard truth most of you, including Junaid, are fighting to prevent. Nigeria is an unreasonable drag to many southern regions. I understand some might want to play the devil's advocate and say - its not true - but hey, that's their biz. As for me and my people there's nothing better than ending this unholy marriage.

On corruption, that's a no-brainer. Greed is the cause of corruption everywhere but in Nigeria tribalism is the main protector of it. So, that answers your question. Different people deal with problems in different ways. As for us, when money is stolen from our purse we'll know who's the culprit and he can't hide under ethnicity like we do now in Nigeria.

On this one: "and noted that such national conferences had yielded negative results in countries such as Niger Republic, Benin Republic, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo," I ask - what should we do then? Fold our arms? Keep watching Junaid and Boko Haram finish the rest of us because we're going to have problems if we call for national conference? Dude, you guys must have the biggest balls in the universe. How can you guys be killing us and still have the nerve to say if we call for conference its going to be worse - how much worse can it be? We're already losing people thanks to bloodthirsty Junaid and his retinue of fatalistic Jihadists. We ain't afraid of their violence anymore and we won't be intimidated or cowed into submission because the Jihadists are going to up the violence. So, in case you're still confused on what my answer to this last question is - it is that we don't have a choice anymore. Many years of your endless butchery has left us with zero choice so we either swim this time or sink.

Nwanne m, we're leaving you and that's final.
I'm going to say this to you and I want you to think long and hard about it. It is this - we're fed up.

He should bring on the war fast fast,who is afraid of war? ...smelly aboki

Zet72: He should bring on the war fast fast,who is afraid of war? ...smelly aboki

The war is already here, but they just mouth off ignorantly. Ihejirika is slowly decimating them. GEJ is slowing planning the divide. This country is finished.

Zet72: He should bring on the war fast fast,who is afraid of war? ...smelly aboki

lol, whenever you see people threaten violence, they usually speak from position of weakness. The man is weak, and he knows it.
The Nigeria civil war opened a lot of eyes, both within and outside Nigeria.
This man will not live to tell the story if another war breaks out. lol

Wake up bro! This ain't 1967.
If you and your brother Junaid Muhammed continue down this path, WE SHALL LEAVE YOU.

It appears you are not as fed up as Sam_Ikenna. Can you people make up your minds already? Noone in the SE is gearing up for any vote like scotland, the last time I checked. Your leaders do not share your views neither do the vast majority of ordinary Igos in Igboland. mumu

Don't count on that.

Nwanne, the Nigeria you see today is about to tame and emasculate the "born to rules." Its a stage by stage affair. After we're finished with taming and emasculation then we move on to the next. Its good that core north is feeling the heat now and trying to hold on to lost friends. We did it and we came out stronger and smarter, believe me its for your own good.

Feel the pain bro, that's what power does. When you had it you tortured and balkanized us like we ain't worth a cent. Its karma working. But if you guys change maybe we can negotiate.

Don't be too sure about that. You'll be surprised when both Buhari and GEJ refuse to contest in 2015. Either way, providence is on the side of Nigeria and Nigerians, millions of us are praying for devine intervention while working very hard to make the country better. Insha Allah, our prayers will be answered and those who do not wish the country well will be shamed.

Praying - you mean like the one your folks prayed on Facebook for GEJ awhile ago.

I don't know about your God but the one I serve usually don't stop folks who're bent on falling in a ditch they dug for themselves. So, I think your time will serve you well if you start untangling and apologizing for the whole mess rather than threatening us with more bloodshed.

I'm not sure you can untangle it anyway. Its one huge mess - Berom, Zaki Biam, killings in Benue, post election violence, Madalla bomb blast, This Day blast, Sabon geri massacre, list goes on and on. Dude, your work is cut out for you so its best if you stop praying and go to work before its too late.
