Ethnic Cleansing is when you try to kill or evict members of an ethnic group because of their ethnicity. since 2008, the International Criminal Court (ICJ) has classified it as a Crime Against Humanity and punishes people who try it.  When some Hutus ethnically cleansed Tutsis in Rwanda, they were rounded up and prosecuted in ICJ. When Nigerian Government almost refused to handover Charles Taylor to International Criminal Court, do you remember what almost happened?

Anyone who thinks they can repeat 1966 in 2017 should forget it, because now the Igbos have the international presence (they are all over the world in large numbers) and social media power to get and hold the world’s attention if we are pushed to do so. Believe me, if we begin protest from Washington DC, to London, to New York, to Paris, to the doorsteps of the ICJ at the Hague itself, the world will not ignore us.Look at our Facebook, Nairaland, Twitter, blog, Whatsapp activists and their reach and abillity to stop fight unjust government policies to a standstill and fight anti-Igboism.

Look at our fearless lawyers, human rights activists, journalists and cultural champions spread all over the world and constantly interconnected – constantly checking to see that everything is allright. Which world leader has not heard of the fearless Ndigbo? If we speak the truth to them, they will listen to us, both those that like us and those that hate us.In 1966 we didn’t have international spread and social media power.

In 2017 we do. So, don’t try US unless you want to relocate to Hague. There is no country you cannot find the Igbo in today, and we therefore have the power to harness public opinion, and no Western politician can ignore public opinion when it is so glaring.

Today the Igbo protest in front of courts, on the streets, in front of embassies and everywhere if they feel they are being shortchanged, and judges know they have our backing to do the right thing even when governments may oppose what they want to do.

You want to stop Igbos from remaining in Nigeria. Where you when Nnamdi Azikiwe was building Nigeria? You want to stop Igbos from legally agitating for Biafra, who told you you can deny them their rights to agitate legally for Biafra?

So, let there be peace not violence. Everybody loses from violence. But when people discuss in peace, they can achieve much.

If South Sudanese or is Dafurians were as mouthed as Ndigbo, do you think they would still be suffering that genocide?

Booked.

Efforts are majorly directed where they have interests. All they do is write reports on what transpired...and go cold!

The keywords here are interests and global public opinion.

Following the Free Nnamdi Kanu protests, it should be clear to you that today's Igbo's are skilled at agitating till they get what they want. Igbo's like Chinese and Jews are one of the few people you can find in any country in the world.

This affords them the ability to control global public opinion if they chose to.

Even the Tutsis who don't leave Rwanda and Burundi much, after the genocide against them which the West allowed because it wasn't in their interest to intervene, the same West was forced to arrest the Hutu radicals who committed it and they have been tried, convicted and sentenced, and they caused their ethnic group to lose power in Rwanda till today.

Do you know what causes he world and he ICJ to move against the Hutu extremists? Global Public Opinion, not Western interest.

Are you telling me that if the Igbo's start protests in a dozen world capitals over an injustice metres on them that the world will not listen because it is not in their interest? The answer is very clear on this.

The North comprises 85% of Nigeria's land. A move to drive one of the three largest ethnic groups from that 85% of national land they are constitutionally free to live in will surely attract global attention.

World oil prices could rise, and the West wouldn't like that one bit.

By the time Igbo's make noise about it...

Imagine blogs including Nairaland publishing photos of Igbo's being killed, their properties which they spent 20 pounds to acquire being forcefully seized from them just like that. You think the world will just stand idly by and watch?

Anyway, I know Buhari will not allow this to happen.

By the way, in 1966, Nigeria was not yet a major oil producer, and the internet ( news by the minute from cell phones) was not yet available. They are now.

It is suicidal to rely on toothless ICC. They won't help in anyway

What did Tupac Shakur have that made you fear him, no be mouth?

Besides that thing you call mouth can dictate who wins or loses elections. APC used 'mouth' to win in 2015. El Rufai used Twitter ('mouth') to win the 2015 Kaduna Governorship elections. What of Trump and Twitter?

What is media power if not 'mouth'?

Or the one going on in Central African Republic. That thing started as a coup and now the country is bleeped.

Igbos know how to protest. That is one thing that cannot be ignored. If Igbos begin to protest over an issue, you wil see crowds in New York, London, Paris, etc. Even when they are only two protesters it will make international headlines and go viral. Remember the Free Nnamdi Kanu protests that only stopped after he was freed.

The CNNs, BBCs, Aljazeeras were forced to cover it.

we dont need icc for nothing.....every nigerian already agrees to dont harm igbos...
