*PRESS RELEASE BY THE MIDDLE BELT YOUTH COUNCIL.*

*DATE: 7TH JUNE, 2017*

We wish to express our profound gratitude to God for keeping us alive today. Middle Belt Youth Council is extremely concerned about the ongoing regional tension in Nigeria today and we want to make our position clear to the world. In the light of incessant threats to one Nigeria posed by killer-herdsmen, we want to call on good people of Middle Belt to first of all, *support the Anti-grazing Bill.* Grazing by Fulani herdsmen on our land has become the major cause of conflicts in our region therefore, we’re calling for total ban on open grazing so as to save the lives of our people and their farmlands.


Secondly, it’s no longer news that our country Nigeria is facing a daunting challenge of peace and unity but we want to assure the good citizens of Nigeria that we have been a peace-loving people and we’ll continue to be. But, in an event one part of the country decides to go away as a separate entity, Middle Belt is also ready to make an independent statement. We want to clarify those who think that the Middle Belt is part of the North: God created everywhere and everyone and He gave it to whom He chooses and Middle Belt is a creation of God and not man (Usman bn Fodio). Therefore, we choose what to use our land for, how to run it and where we want to be. Middle Belt has been a home for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, South-South and the South-West without any form of discrimination against anyone. We’ve accommodated every Nigerian for centuries now. We deserve respect and commendations.


If the Arewa youths are sending away Igbos from their states, we in the Middle Belt are ready to offer them accommodation in our land (which is an inheritance from God and nobody will take it away from us) for them to continue with their life and businesses. Southern Nigeria people should also know that ‘Middle Belters’ are not northerners and we can never be because we’re not affiliated in terms of culture, language, education, economy, and general lifestyle. The Biafran struggle did not come as an accident but as a result of injustice and unfair treatment to regions, people or religion. Over the years, our federalism has been a fat lie that deprives political rights and freedom of some sections of the country while others benefit immensely from it.
Middle Belt has been at the receiving end of this inequitable arrangement in which our people in Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Southern Borno, Southern Kebbi, Adamawa are under constant alienation and annihilation. Therefore, Middle Belt strongly stands for reconstruction of Nigeria not only restructuring. We’ll join hands with Southern Nigerian people to actualize it. In view of this press statement, we want to urge Middle Belters to remain resolute in making sure we protect our future against the claims by the Hausa/Fulani. More so, for want of peace and unity of dear country Nigeria, we call on Igbo nation to feel at home in the Middle Belt in an event they are sent away from the Arewa land.
God bless Nigeria! God bless the Middle Belt.

Signed:
President, Emma Zopmal

Bro I pray Nairaland Idoitic mods don't remove or hide this thread, its obvious there are government criminal who are now directing Nairaland Potics section.. they detect to them what and what not to allow or push to front page.. a thread similar to this have been deleted this morning

Afonjas dare not come to this thread.

Gberra how market? The tables seem to be turning. Like we've been telling those who want to listen, this isn't 1967. The game has changed and the politics have changed as well.

even the middle belt are tired of the so called born to rule- the hausa\ Fulani.

This is getting serious and i see the Northerners standing alone this time; SE,SS & MB wl form a major ally and SW may decide to be neutral. I see the Northerners withdrawing their threats.

SEUN OSEWA and his MODS are on APC government payroll. Their actions towards inti-APC, anti-government, ant-Buhari pro-Biafra, pro-IPOB, pro-IGBO etc threads on this forum has shown that they're on government payroll.

Watch how this post will be hidden...

The Middle belt are now offering you protection & accommodation should Northerners splatter your poo on your faces outta their lands. WoW
You lost your position to SS and now MB about to usurp you. Bro, you're sliding down the pecking order.

In the event Nigeria keeps standing, we probably be having a MB presidency before Igbos turn because MB is acting the Big Brother role to y'all

What do the mods have to say about an office press release?

Or will they delete this, since the Middle Belt is telling the Core North to include them in this wahala?

The report says the MB are ready to accommodate you if the North drove away your ass. If they would harbour you, then most likely give you cover under their beds

Malton Your brothers has buttressed your points. Happy hour for our cowardly fake ass blodas from the land of alaigbo.

Nope. This is a public forum but he cannot be breaking the law for the sake of your 'free speech'. Free speech has its limits. Do you read the kind of things people post here? Things that'd get you profiled assuming they were against America and the CIA was on to you. This is 'Nairaland', a NIGERIAN forum and he cannot go to jail like Kemi Olunloyo, or allow his forum to be a breeding ground for hatred and incitement. If you're looking for where to channel all your hate, create your own forum. Its his forum. He has to be pro government. Law abiding. When GEJ was in power it was the same on Nairaland. Seun for example is an atheist who has nothing against gay people, but when the bill was signed in the last administration, he had to make sure he updated the rules accordingly to comply with the law. Its simple as that, he isn't biased towards any side. His mods, however, might be a different story.

I had resourcefully informed few dumbass Nigerians that today's Nigeria is insanely different from 1967 era of Nigeria.

Who president help abeg...why una still de yarn this crappy line.
The states/regions/tribes wey don rule pass for this yeye country de struggle just like others

Make una try get sense na abeg

I'm from meddle belt
Is either you go back to your potopoto republic or keep quite

PLENTY JOKERS, PLENTY COMEDY. Emeka(real name) is in Lagos, married with 3 kids and you see him locking his plaza anytime and every time in support of Biafra. Emeka recently bought two plots of land around Badagry and already the foundations to a 4 bedroom masterpiece is taking shape on that land. Emeka is from Anambra state, a single pin he owns not to his name in the village. Yet in Lagos, Emeka goes about shouting for all to hear 'Biafra or I die'. . . Musa(not real name) is in Kaduna, tired of a constant nagging national anthem from Emeka, Musa assumes a potentially dangerous identity and declares a 90 days ultimatum telling the Emeka's that all of them can leave his domain and disappear to their Biafra. Failure to do so, they would be forcefully evicted. . . Dapo(maybe it is me, maybe it is not) is falling for a pretty intelligent damsel whom he is yet to tell how he feels about her. He is worried that he as a Nigerian won't be in love with another Nigerian but rather a foreigner called Biafran. What an anomaly, for he would be needing to travel from one country into another just to see his in-laws who were once neighbors but now foreigners. . . Dapo's case is small, love they say can break barriers, although who knows how much a Biafran pound would exchange for when the time for dowry ever comes. For it is often said that the dowry to marry from that region in Nigerian Naira can make a young man hug a transformer, how much more would it be in Biafran pounds. Just hope by then Dapo won't tell the Oba of Lagos(that one that told Emeka to jump into the Lagoon) to allow him dive into the water when he is told to bring 3 billion Biafran pounds which would be about #300 million Nigerian Naira before he can marry their beautiful Abian princess. That is if they even agree to allow him after the second civil war that led to a separation. . . Musa the unknown spokesperson declaring absolute and beautiful bunkum on behalf of the entire Northern youth is already getting a warning from his sensible governor who is ordering that all such irredentist fanning the embers of tribal war in his state be arrested. What a governor, if only Emeka's governors aren't cowards and follow the footsteps of the Kaduna mallam, our unity might not be as shaky as it is right now. . . However, in my true life fiction, it is Emeka one needs to pity the most. Emeka who for once haven't held his governors, chairmen, senators, representatives and himself responsible for the neglect in his region. Emeka who thinks all Igbos scattered worldwide hold the same views as his and would point fingers to all others in a constant self-absorbing manner that selfishly belittles the pain and neglect other regions suffer too. Emeka would mostly act as if the North and West don't have poor people who have no hope. To imagine that it is this same Emeka that statistics can prove a penny of his money is not going into the development of his region(unlike Musa and Dapo who still contribute a little to their regions) screaming the most for a break up of his country is just too much palm wine taken in excess. . . Musa, Dapo and the strong headed Emeka need to come together and truly see that the problem is not themselves but those who have selfishly enriched their pockets at the detriment of their people while posing as their leaders. If only they can stop the joke, stop the comedy and the call to shed innocent blood and go after those who have held them in bondage for decades, then they can have true liberation for themselves as Nigerians and not as breakout factions acting as puppets for the same selfish greedy leaders using religion and region to separate them. . . Musa, Dapo and the ever industrious Emeka, Oya give yourselves brain today. No more jokes, no more comedy. You can unite to shame your common enemies. It is very possible, yes it is doable for us to have a united prosperous Nigeria that shall respect the rights of every man. My name is MICHAEL ILORI, and I just want to make Nigerian sense
