- Igbos have begun fleeing northern states such as Kaduna, Kano following the eviction order given by northern youths

- Those fleeing the north do not trust the government to protect them

- They fear for their lives because as some noted, none of the people who gave the quit notice has been arrested yet

Some Igbos resident in the north have already begun relocating to other parts of Nigeria, following the quit notice issued by the Coalition of Northern Youths.

Though the directive has now been rescinded, barely a week ago, the Coalition of Northern Youths had given all Igbos resident in the north a three month directive to vacate the region, and also asked Hausas in the east to return back to their places of origin.

According to a report by Daily Post, during a visit to the God is Good Motor Park in Mando, Kaduna State on Thursday, June 8, the park was brimming with Igbos returning back to the east.

One of the fleeing Igbos identified himself as Ifeanyi Odozie, an electric appliance dealer.

According to Odozie, he was leaving because he didn’t want to put his family at risk.

He further disclosed that he did not trust the government to protect him and his family.

Odozie stated: “I have been in this place for thirty years but I think I have overstayed my welcome here. I will take my family to the village and return by next week to sell off some of my belongings here.

“The federal government won’t be there to save us when problem starts.

“Since they (the northern youths) gave their order, who has been arrested?

“I also have my village, it is high time I returned home.”

Another Igbo who was interviewed identified herself as Chioma Okoye, a trader of second hand clothes at the Kaduna Central market in Kaduna.

In her words: “I want to go and rest for a while. I really don’t know what these people are up to. I will come back when they are ready to accommodate us.”

In Kano state, the situation was the same.

An angry Igbo man who identified himself as Mazi Obiekwe angrily scolded a reporter saying, “go and ask Buhari and his kinsmen why they want us to leave their land.”

Nigerians have however started reacting to Igbos leaving the North. Below is a few reactions gathered by NAIJ.com:

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had previously reported that the federal government has formally reacted to the quit notice issued by northern youths to Igbos living in the north saying the Igbos are free to live anywhere in the country.

The youths had stirred nationwide uproar when they issued a statement giving a 90-day ultimatum to Igbos in the north to leave.

The minister of interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, in a statement issued on Wednesday, June 7, urged Igbos and other Nigerians to go about their business without fear.

Good! Now it is time for your leaders to fight for rederendum so you can get biafra. We share nothing in common in this country. Even after 100 years, we still hate ourselves, why cant we just split so that there will be peace? I dont want my unborn children to live in a country like this. I want them to live with people they share similar culture, language. A place they can call home. There is no place like home.
Yorubas will do better than nigeria. This i am certain.
Oodua for Yorubas.
Arewa for Hausas.
Biafra for Igbos.

Hausas are also scarce this morning in my street. Let everybody go their seperate ways.

With such scenerio... our econony would only crash faster and the little effort being initiated would go down the drain..

The problem is where is the president and the executive and what are they doing or saying? THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF NEEDS TO CALM THINGS DOWN.

This is the best and second oppurtunity to BUHARI to unite the country...

How would a president be mute when such is happening, who does that?

ITS BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY... protect your lives while you still can..

Nnamdi Kanu as a terrorist in chief ordered Igbos to kill Hausas close to them.

The drums of war are sounding hard and loud.. And yet our we are deaf to that sound. Especially here on nairaland.
Now, not all Igbos will leave the North, after the expiration of the ultimatum and probably violence erupts Igbos, Yorubas, and even Hausas will be killed.
If not that these Arewa guys are f00ls.
There are more northeners in non-northern states around the country than any other tribes. Because all I see :
Children will become orphans;
Parents will become childless;
Friends will deny themselves especially friends of different tribes;
People especially youths who cannot eat Rice without dodo or gaari without g.nut will struggle hard to get roasted lizard.
I repeat the gong of war is sounding.

Once this stuff turns to war. We should remember that not only Nigerian soldiers will be involved.... I dey fear war ooo...

It had begun. The beginning of the end of Nigeria. Northerners shld start same.

Living or leaving.. ?

Op , y u dey shoot yourself for leg na?

Could this be same reason Igbos are leaving nairaland to biafrasay.com? God help us

It is finished!

Ok

What about those leaving nairaland to biafrasay.com? Is it not same thing?

FAKE NEWS FROM IPOB. IGBOS WILL PROTECT THEIR INVESTMENT ANYWHERE IN NIGERIA. NO GOING BACK TO ONE NIGERIA. F**K IPOB, MILITANT AND BOKO HARAM

Blame Supreme Scammer Lunatic Nnamid Kunnu for this.

He started the hate gospel and the Northerners simply reciprocated his kind gesture.

Just imagine Yorubas adding their own fuel to the inferno. It will definitely turn to a full conflagration.
