Arewa Youths Ultimatum To Igbo : A Threat Or A Travel Advisory ? by christopher123(m): 10:00am On Jun 07, 2017
Recently, the civilised world and the country was dazed and taken aback over the threat sand the ultimatum that Arewa youth or the Northern youths said that Igbo should leave the northern zone. This ultimatum should be within three months ! Now, the Igbo and the southern people have three months to comply or we know how the region is . As a tinder box of Nigeria, the chaos will be unimaginable. We wait for the position of the federal government on this. Another question is , what are the zones that arewa is talking about ? Is it Jos, which is a Christian state ,is it Benue, who h have cultural affinity with Igbo and 70% Christian . Is it Kogi state that has an immense cultural relationship with Yoruba and at the fringes of Anambra border, with Igbo. We will want Arewa youths to be specific here .

What is their grouse and anger ? They stated that ,it was because of a successful sit at home that the Igbo conducted May 30 2017, to remember those that died in Biafra war. A war that Africa has never seen and a war that saw about three million Igbos perish, especially women and kids. Now the question again is this? Is it wrong to remember the death and pay respect to them? The Jews remember Holocaust, the blacks remember slavery and so many more. Yes, we know through incidence or accident , history subject has been banished from Nigeria school. Do they want Igbo to have selective amnesia ? The answers to these is , Hell No!
Igbo to leave….I think this is the height of frustration, desperation and despondency. Are Igbo the cause of their low edu action, are Igbo the cause of the Almajiri , are Igbo the cause of their backwardness, are Igbo the cause of their problem. In Nigeria, Hausa north has been ruling for decades, yet in terms of human capacity index, they are the most backward.

We didn’t tell them to sure kids like fowls.
We didn’t tell them not to go to school
We didn’t tell them not to immunise their kids
We didn’t tell them not to hold their leaders and ask them questions why their are backward
We didn’t tell them to marry off their girls at 12 yes instaed of sending them to school
We, Nigerians didn’t tell them to have leaders that have refused to rise above religious and cultural impediments. They should copy the likes of Ebonyi, Anambra, Lagos and other government.
We didn’t tell their governors to build mosques instead of school
We didn’t tell their governors to give them wheel barrows
We didn’t tell them to see education as haram
Now, get this fact…Let’s assume that Igbo leaves, the north will be sending a very wrong message to the world that it is a hostile region, a region that doesn’t appreciate other religion. In a world that is highly connected ,the Hausa and Northern youths are sending a very wrong message. Now, it will hurt them economically, considering how disadvantaged their region is, coupled with environmental issues and desertification,then high level of illiteracy. They will move down south as we have seen recently via the cattle herding issue. The Arewa leaders must call their kids to other.

North is the tinder box of Nigeria, somebody draws a cartoon in the Norse ,you guys bring it to Africa and kill.
They will want to attract tourism via miss world peagent, you guys will shout …And be an embarrassment to us in the front of world committee
What do the north want for fucking sake…You guys said that Kano is more developed and populated than Lagos…We let it slide . Which is a big fallacy
You guys told us that you guys are more populated than the littoral states …Which is a fallacy. I haven’t seen where desert is more populated than the states around seas.
You guys said that you want to keep wondering and constituting nuisance in terms of cattle herding ….Some people are comfortable with it. Man , has evolved..We have moved from homo erectus to homo sapiens. But ,you guys want to maintain the homo erectus stage…Which is the wondering g man. No problem.

Now, to all Igbos and southerners staying there…This is a travel advisory. Do the needful. Let the world see who blinks first . We must stop fanning the embers of disunity. Nobody has the exclusive rights of violence and we must understand the need to accept people’s view . Divergent views is what makes a nation like Nigeria great and the Arewa must understand this.

Countries like USA, Canada , UAE are attracting foreigners and investors to come and invest in their country . Now you guys are chasing people away..Not as if the place is very viable, with fanatics everywhere and cultural impediments.

Arewa, don’t worry, you will join the league if your neighbours, Niger, Chad and Somalia . By the way, you people have a lot in common. To Igbo and southerners (they can’t differentiate between the Ibibio from Into) staying in the North, this is a travel advisory. Heed to warning.
