Northern youth under the aegis of the Arewa Triumphant
Youth Foundation, have begged the indigenous People of
Biafra and members of the Movement for the Actualisation
of the Sovereign State of Biafra to lay down their arms and
embrace dialogue for peace to reign in the land. They said they would not be happy to see the South- Eastern part of the country break away from Nigeria.

ATYF’s National President, Ibrahim Yusuf, spoke at a press
conference on Friday to herald activities lined up for a
proposed Arewa Youth Leadership Summit scheduled for
this month in Kaduna.

Yusuf said it was regrettable that major actors in Biafra
violence, Boko Haram insurgency, kidnapping and Fulani
herdsmen crisis across the country were youth of present
generation.

According to him, there is no point for our eastern brothers
and sisters to be agitating to pull out of Nigeria. regardless
of ethnic and religious inclination.

“We are brothers. We should be able to live together as one
big family. Nothing should separate us. MASSOB should lay
down their arms, and allow us to stay together for the
betterment of this great country.

“There is no doubt that 99 per cent of these people that are
into these various crises are young persons, and this is
because they are jobless, and to stop them from being
violent, government at all levels must provide jobs and the
enabling environment for the youth.

“President Buhari should fulfill his promise paying N5,000 to unemployed persons in the country, even though I don’t
support the idea of sharing money because it may cause
crisis, and make people lazy.

“I will rather support government giving the people nets to
catch fish than giving them fish to eat, and rebuild the
country of one nation, one vision and one goal.

“Government should realise that as one Nigeria, until it
brings everybody together, the country will continue to have
crisis.”

Violent people preaching peace

Food for thought !!!

Can the Northerners practice what they preach? You talk about peace but not the solution to ascertain peace. Hypocrites.

Mods banning me for expressing my view and right to self determination. Yet, they all glamour for #NoToSocialMediaBill. Hypocrites..

if to say mumu-hari didn't win this election.... these northerners would av actually given us peace"!! rubbish!!! dere are in power now, dey want peace!! akitikpa gbaaa unu

You people have suddenly realised we are one Nigeria now IPOB and MASSOB are treatning break up. Are we one when the Igbos are frequently massacred and made homeless at any slight provocation in the North? Who is deceiving who? If Nigeria should be one then Igbos should be included in the scheme of things in this country, and be adequatly compensated. This born to rule thing must go.

IPOB agitation has been peaceful so far, why telling us to be peaceful?

I support this call for peace, I have discovered that there is nothing like peace.

We are all brothers and sisters, all forms of agitation for Nigeria to break should cease.

Lalasticlala.

We cannot be one with uneducated people.

We cannot be one with murderers.

NB;
(Middle belt n Northern christians are excluded from these descriptions).

honestly, this is mind boggling;

you guys own a state you can do as you please with, yet you guys are not satisfied -you want a country.

you have the power in your hands make life what you want to make of it - yet you ask for freedom.

you have leaders that receive fed. allocations to their various constituencies yet, they fail to developed the place - you cry marginalization.

you have minsters in key positions in the last administration - you cry segregation.

you have igbos all over Nigeria that have businesses, houses, heck some are even millionaires in other ppls states, something that might not happen if those ppl were in your own states - yet you cry injustice.

the Buhari you did not vote for has not imposed anything on you, he has chosen ministers from your tribe, he has given everyone the same right you find in every democratic country. you guys have no good excuse for Biafry, cos you are not in captivity, you are not slaves. Rather you Biafryans are slaves of your own ego, you are captives of your own greed - hence there is little or no hope for you.

Nigeria is doing you guys a favor for not letting you go, cos weak ones will have no stake in Biafry, there will be civil war for the rulership of Biafry.

oh and for the record you ibos are the ones giving Nigeria bad names abroad cos you guys fear poverty more than God.

An ideal country won't need you.

Interesting twist, now the northerners asking the easterners to embrace peace. Hmmm

Meanwhile;

Imagination is the beginning of creation, are you a good web designer? Remember good design is good business, click my signature to register your services... someone somewhere needs your services.

Just look at the people preaching peace now. Oh you guys are afraid it will distract your brother administration i guess.

Sentiment apart, why should Nigeria bent on seeing that Biafra is not actualized?
Since the Igbos want to opt out of Nigeria for Christ sake it is their headache to worry about their new nation not you.

Make una come see pot calling kettle black ooooo...

Trut:

you mean burning of mosque and Dangote's trucks is peaceful

Nemesis of 1966 don catch up with them via boko haram... Now they are tamed, they want peace as if they do what they preach.

Rubbish... I hate hypocrisy.

There should be terms of staying together as a country.
