So what's stopping them from implementing it..

From recent happening in benue,the FG controlled security agencies are not enforcing the ban.

This is what state police will do .

Effect of southern unity.

We are closer to it.

We are close to total restructuring and insertion of referendum clause in the constitution.

It is a gradual process and we will win with our unity.

Say no to southern division.

bankylan:
So how much did you pay Reno to say he is cheap? Cheap for telling you the truth about Lord Kanu? Cheap to make you realise the guy is not a freedom fighter but an opportunist.

Kanu was behaving as one supreme leader that he is not. If he truly wants Biafra, he should be leading the agitation here and not taking advantage of a genuine cause of the sensible Igbo people.

Now that he has been arrested, what will you do?

He said no truth there. He only repeated what we all know MNK said and he has apologized.

He is disturbing our new found southern unity and it's not necessary. We are moving as one and he should stop reminding us of our past. Old things have passed away.

You are an agent and you will fail like him .

So this Reno Is this cheap? Unbelievable.

Something that MNK said six years ago is what he brought out . We the south have crossed that your divide and rule tactics. Tell your northern masters that it won't work.

We are talking about unity in the south and not past tense. MNK has apologized and warned his members to stop attack on the yoroubas which they obeyed. Why didn't this cheap Reno bring out that video where MNK warned his members not to attack southerners and middlebelt again.

Ndoni should be ceeded to delta state too.

The southern governors should demand for additional four states in the south and two in the north to balance the geopolitical representation.
The four states should be anioma that will include ndoni in the present rivers state and the whole delta north. This state Will be added to the south east geopolitical zones.
The second state should be that of adada state that will include the whole Igbo speaking part of kogi and benue states .
The third state should be ejagham state which should be for northern crossriver people.

The fourth state should be Ibadan state which will include the yorouba speaking part of kwara and kogi states .

Then two additional states in the north are southern kaduna state and Savana state which will include, the southern borno ,some parts of gombe and adamawa states.

With these proposal ,we will have seven states per geopolitical Zone which means equal representation.

There have always been southern and northern Nigeria.
What we have now is southern nigeria,middle belt and northern Nigeria.

Say no to division in south.

theFilmtric:
These guys have an agenda


Regionalism or disintegration now!

Let's wait for the meeting tomorrow. The outcome will determine how far. I hope the southern governors won't disappoint us.

State police is a must and should be done before the end of this year. We need state police that will enforce the no open grazing bill unlike what we have in benue state.
Thereafter,we move for restructuring and an addition of referendum clause in that constitution.

bensonman:
Everybody hear this loud and clear, fulanis and BMCs are the ones making tribal comments on nairaland.

Everyday, i checked gossipmill, tunde ednut's page, pulse Niger, instablog9ja and other pages on IG and I'll assure you that no yoruba is laughing at MNK the way it's done on Nairaland.

No igbo is laughing at chief Sunday ighoho the way BMCs made us believe here.

Let's unite as southerners and fight our common enemy.

THE ENEMY IS ALREADY AT THE GATE

You are doing a good job bro. We will appreciate you later. No more to southern division.

With our unity,restructuring will take place in few months. We are almost there and referendum must be added to the new constitution.

God bless all southerners

DenreleDave:
Ur useless coward agbari Ojukwu dt rán away in woman skirt?

He is not an Igbo . You should understand their tactics here.

Paxxcarl:
Naso I go take japa from this country

This country is a joke.
Look at what a security operative is doing with an unarmed civilian.

MNK is not far from the truth. Tell me the difference between Nigeria and animal kingdom.

Poor health infrastructures,education, roads,unemployment and insecurity . Or do we talk about the system of governance or what?

The political leaders should dialogue and negotiate with the people to adopt a system of governance that will ensure justice , security and progress.

We need to restructure this country. State police is a must and I expect the southern governors to address that on Monday. This will end the insecurity in Nigeria and all the political leaders know that.

OdumegwuOjukwu:
Bros,
PIB is the least of our concern.

People are fighting for their liberation, you're fighting for a tiny 'percentage' of your wealth.

Carry go. Major in minor!

No one cares about little things like this. There are bigger fishes to fry!

That's who they are. Very timid and myopic.

Let them keep fighting for percentages but for most of us ,we aren't interested in that anymore.

For those who have ears unlike MNK that has refused to listen,we have nothing in common with these minorities. We shouldn't fight for them again . Let's rape them continually with Yoruba and hausa.
Thereafter , we separate when the time for the dissolution of this country comes.

God bless Igbo nation.
God bless Alaigbo.

This is pure JIHAD and the useless leaders we have in middle belt, southeast,south south and southwest aren't talking.

No action or whatsoever to checkmate this JIHAD.

Empower the amotekun, ESN/Ebubeagu, ND militants, jukun and tv youths to flush our forest.
What are these governors waiting for?.this is embarrassing to say the least.

[quote author=xpressionx post=103078726]Baba dey fear.[/quote

Yes probably from the peaceful protest MNK and his IPOB members planned in UK scheduled to take place today.

He avoided the embarrassment that comes with it but if his health needs serious attention,he would have attended.

PMB has started listening to the voice of the people and will do the needful soon which is sovereign national conference.

KEVIND:
THE Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, yesterday accused peoples of the southern part of the country of provoking the north to set the country aflame.

At its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Kaduna, the group urged Nigerians not to lose faith in the country, saying Nigeria will overcome her challenges.

National Chairman of ACF, Chief Audu Ogbeh spoke at the meeting,

“The meeting will look at issues confronting the nation and by extension, the region and proffer solutions. What can we do to end the menace of banditry? What can we do to end Boko Haram? What can we do to improve the economy and lives of Nigerians? What can we do to improve our relationships with other regions? These are some of the issues we will focus on. We want to leave a country for our children and grand children and the unborn so that they will be happy with us.”

On his part, ACF Secretary-General, Muktar Aliyu said the North is sick, noting that “We have Boko Haram, we have banditry, we have kidnapping, we have rustling, attacks on Northerners in the South where many lost their property and investments.

“Above all, the southerners are doing so to spark reactions from us so that the country will go up in flames but we are saying no. We are being confronted with agitations for separations and dissolution of the state, demands for Biafra, Oduduwa as well as restructuring.

”But we said there are ways of doing things in conformity with the laws of the land. So, this meeting will look at these things holistically and proffer solutions. Nobody is happy with the current situation.”

Meanwhile, in a communiqué at the end of the meeting, among others, said the “Forum is not happy with the scant attention paid to animal husbandry by state and federal governments in the country. Animal husbandry alone accounts for 6 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product, GDP, Nigeria spends $1.6 on importation of milk alone. If animal husbandry is well harnessed it will save Nigeria this large expenditure.

“Many Nigerians are not aware that those involved in the business of animal husbandry are themselves victims of insecurity. Their cattle are often rustled and they are kidnapped for ransom too. There is need to encourage alternative means of dispute resolution as those involved in farmers/herdsmen clashes are illiterates who sometimes are not comfortable with the police and the modern court system but would prefer traditional way of resolving issues.”

ACF lamented the high rates of interest charged on bank loans in the country, contending that “the interest charged by banks on commercial loans are so high that instead of promoting business, they are killing all indigenous business enterprises. No business can function in Nigeria or anywhere without a friendly environment of loaning from banks. We call on the government to intervene because the collapse of business has direct links with unemployment and insecurity.”

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/06/southerners-provoking-north-to-spark-crisis-acf/?amp=1

Just look at people we call leaders . How can an educated person tag herdsmen issue a conflict. It's a provocation and nothing else

A farmer in Enugu got his investment destroyed by cattles and they call it conflict. These cattle rearers are armed as against farmers,women and children killed on daily basis.

Restrict these marauders in a place and all these killing will end. They should ranch in the north where we have enough land .

Enough of all these killings. I blame the indigenous people and their political leaders that have refused to arm themselves. Untill we do that, these marauders won't stop the killing.

The time to act is now. We have to take the fight to their camps and chased them out of our forest. If we don't do these, then we should be ready for the hunger and famine that comes with our farmer's refusal to farm bc of the killings.

FakeUnity:
It has always been my opinion that Biafrans in diaspora should work hard and put themselves in very influential positions in influential world powerful countries socially, politically and otherwise. This is the most effective way to breath down on the fulani necks.

Greater powers cobbled nigeria together, greater powers will uncobble nigeria regardless of fulani crocodile and fake tears and cries of 'sovereignty'. fulas do not believe in sovereignty, they are feudal and totalitarian in nature, they have no right to talk about sovereignty while sitting on the necks of Hausas and other ethnic nationalities.


Mazi Kanu and IPOB should also run NGO funds to support pro-Biafrans who are aspiring politicians, influential technocrats, warfare Scientists, technologists and public affairs influencers in the US, UK, RUSSIA and other powerful countries.

Greater powers above nigeria will be instrumental in destroying the zoo in the fullness of time.

Good one. But MNK should know that biafra of 1967 doesn't exist again. What we have now is Igbo nation of old biafra. Though we will go ahead with the name Biafra bc we lost millions of our people defending biafra.

God bless Alaigbo.
God bless Ndi Igbo.

So many events are happening behind the scene.

The least IPOB and MNK have achieved is restructuring and I appreciate them. They have paid with their blood and resources to make this happen.
Obama and Tony Blair are intervening because of their consistency . All the streets in UK are painted with biafra colours and biafra flags displayed at all the corners.

Thank you MNK. All the southerners and middle belters are proud of you .

Finally,I can't wait for the book titled; "BEFORE WE DIE".

WATCH THE VIDEO;
https://fb.watch/6lhmDwAoU3/

Hmmmm. This MNK and his IPOB team are serious with the agitation and has led to this revelation.

"Obama and Tony Blair want to intervene ". They are sending their team to discuss with Nigeria on IPOB and other secessionist group.

Enugu should give us Frank Nweke

FreeIgbos:
You're right and matured enough to acknowledge that publicly. The fulanis already know that and that's why they are now willing to allow Igbos go. They know as long as we remain in Nigeria, their plans of totally conquering all others will be difficult to achieve, if not impossible.

And if we leave,they will restructure immediately while controlling the police and army.

I'm for Alaigbo or Igbo nation only. Igbos in south south and north central should join their brothers in south east to form a nation.
Any Igbo speaking/clan in these zones that aren't interest will be left.

I pray Igbo nation emerges.

God bless Igbo land.
God bless Alaigbo.

With this pace ,ikpeazu will complete all the major roads in Aba before his tenure elapses.
These are the roads he should have started after his first inauguration.
Lately,he is trying and I appreciate him for that.

BKayy:
Na today you know say we no get shame?
That ego tripping doesn't work on this generation.
If you come out of your swamp to drag land with us then we will wrestle with you in that mud.
Na the same pride make Yoruba lose Ilorin till tomorrow.
No inch of Igboland will be annexed by swamp people

Good one. They don't know the generation they are dealing with.

Ikwerre,Kalabari and okrika are occupying some portion of Igbo land and all will be recovered.

Ikwerre will be sent back to Benin where they migrated form and we set boundary with the swamp dwellers thereafter.

The same will be applied to Ika people that migrated from Benin too. All will be sent back to their origin to enable them embrace their ancestor's culture and language.

Why should you even invest in his domain in the first place?

I believe the South East leadership has failed woefully

All this one they are talking to other regions are a waste of time

They should just creat enabling environment
That will enable the igbos to repatriate the wealth they have in the other regions of Nigeria
Back home

How many other regions are investing in the East
The way Igbos invest in other places?
Is it not foolishness

The leadership needs to wise up
And do the right thing

It is this there attitude
That made Nnamdi Kanu to gain strong foothold in the East
To the extent
Many youths are giving there life for Nnamdi Kanus course


It's a failed leadership
And foolishness also on the side of the people
To invest in other places
Apart from home


Igbos be sensible
Don't be foolish
Don't be deceived by anybody at all

We are on that. Our people are investing at home now but the foolish leaders we have as governors in the east are not helping matters. You have a gas pipeline to Aba,what stopped these fools from negotiating with shell to extend this to onicha,Emene,owerri,Abakiliki ,nnewi, umuahia and others .

What stopped these baboons and monkeys from establishing Alaigbo development fund that will encourage all the igbos to contribute in our development. These people dont know what our Age grade and town unions did after the war.

It's a pity.

OEPHIUS:
South East leaders urge other regions to protect Igbo indigenes

…

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1460644330945794&id=100010007227700

Look at the south east governors. Look at them,baboons and monkeys.

They have not replied the president that threatened a tribe and have not done anything to empower the regional security outfit they created.

These people are daft and worthless. Just imagine these fools with no balls. They are yet to pass a law prohibiting open grazing but have the gut to speak for us. Who does that?

We the people of southeast have told you to empower the regional security outfit or you adopt ESN to secure our forests but you fools are yet to do that.

We said no to open grazing but you baboons and monkeys are yet to mandate our state assembly members to pass laws to that effect.

It's a pity we have these useless leaders in east . I just wish a revolution will take place in the east and we do away with these set of stupid and worthless leaders.

I will encourage MNK to inform his followers in Igbo land to get Voters card and get ready for the next election. If MNK and IPOB want to remain relevant in years to come,they must sponsor candidates from an unknown party and announce such 5 days to the pool and that's all. I plead with MNK and All IPOB members to consider it.

For me ,we need leaders that are pro Igbo first before anything and not these fools that are thinking of Nigeria before Igbo like Azikiwe did.

The violence in Nigeria could end in genocide – both Christian and Muslim populations need help now

The true cost of the fighting is felt in lives and in hope for Christian communities increasingly dreading extermination, and Muslim communities affected by the vicious Boko Haram
A recent open letter to the G20 leaders – an initiative coordinated by Gordon Brown – underlined the extreme urgency of planning a response to the impact of Covid-19 on nations in the developing world. Limited infrastructure, inadequate healthcare, urban overcrowding and various other factors will undoubtedly increase the death toll from the coronavirus in such circumstances.

But one of the major factors increasing vulnerability is endemic and violent conflict. Displaced populations are obviously going to be at greater risk; people who have lost their homes and livelihoods, often living in crowded and disease-prone environments, will feel the impact heavily.


The fact that Nigeria’s already fragile public health budget is being cut at a time when infection is spiralling has helped to bring into focus the risks developing in many African nations. However, Nigeria’s level of internal conflict is such that we may well expect it to be worse affected than some of its neighbours.

A new report, released on Monday by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for International Freedom of Religion or Belief, entitled Unfolding Genocide? provides a horrifically detailed picture of how inter-communal violence has spread in the “middle belt” states of Nigeria over the past decade.

While reliable statistics are hard to come by, a conservative estimate of the number of displaced persons is approximately 300,000; last year saw at least 1,000 deaths in the ongoing struggles between farmers and nomadic herdsmen in these states. Readers should be warned: the extreme barbarity of many of the killings, involving rape, mutilation and burning, leaves a scar in the imagination.

The roots of these struggles read like a checklist of the most serious international challenges of our times. Environmental degradation has ruined huge tracts of grazing land and natural resources (the surface area of Lake Chad decreased from 15,000 square miles to less than 1,000 in the last forty years of the 20th century, and the rate of desertification has reduced both grazing and farming land in the Sahel by 80 per cent). Governmental policies on land development have frequently been disastrous in this connection, and policies about managing grazing land and practice have, at best, been inadequate and ineffectual.

Violence in various other countries, not least Libya, has fuelled a substantial illegal arms trade. Political leadership has been remote or corrupt, with a widespread culture of impunity in regard to alleged abuses by government forces. Fake news is rampant and hysterically alarmist; international social media managers have a tiny number of people who have the cultural and linguistic skills to monitor this effectively. Add to this a rapidly increasing population and a rising number of alienated and unemployed young men, and you have enough to guarantee a high level of tension and anger.

But what has made this particularly lethal in Nigeria is the added element of religious rivalry. Nigeria is a nation divided almost 50-50 between Islam and Christianity, with a very slight preponderance of Christianity. As in so many other contexts like the Middle East, a history of slightly uneasy but normally manageable coexistence has been disrupted by the rise of Islamist extremism – often directed, in Nigeria as elsewhere, against other Muslims as well as Christians.

We ignore Islamist terrorism in Africa at our peril.
Who are Boko Haram and how are they funded?
Longstanding protocols for resolving tensions between communities have in many areas been swept away as new populations of nomads and pastoralists with no history of relationship with farming neighbours are driven southwards by environmental change, into what have been predominantly Christian areas, reviving deep-rooted historic anxieties – however wrong-headed – about “Muslim invasion”.

Federal government attempts to regularise or rationalise grazing practice have predictably been seen in some quarters as an aspect of the same agenda, with the fear that they will further reduce land available for cultivation. And while pastoralists can count on substantial profits from increasing sales of cattle – whose price has rocketed in recent years, with spectacularly wealthy cattle barons lavishly subsidising the purchase of up-to-the-minute weaponry for militants – farmers have far less opportunity to generate surplus cash.


These conflicts have so far involved a death toll more than six times that associated with the better-known activities of Boko Haram further north and east in Nigeria. But the rhetoric and methods of Boko Haram and other militant Islamist groups have been borrowed with enthusiasm by some herder militants in middle-belt states such as Jos and Kaduna. Increasingly this is seen on both sides as a campaign to eliminate the Christian farming communities. Attacks on villages involving wholesale massacre are becoming more common; some well-informed observers argue that this conflict is being instrumentalised by Islamist radicals to push the country towards an open religious war.


There have certainly been reprisal attacks by Christians against Muslim herders. However, the numbers strongly suggest that the Christian communities are suffering more acutely, partly because of the adoption of the new radical language and agenda of the Daesh (Isis) franchises in Nigeria. Social media content continues to feed the flames, and there is a lot of pressure for Christian communities to organise their own militias, given the weak or complicit response of government security forces.

The APPG's report pulls no punches; it does not simplify the background factors but shows with exemplary clarity how the manipulation of religious tension is a match thrown into a petrol can in the region. Unchecked, the current patterns of conflict could indeed lead to a genocidal climax.

Yet policies to avoid this are not that hard to identify. Education for nomadic groups is an urgent priority, with access to routine political and social involvement. The National Livestock Transformation Plan devised by the federal government needs to be implemented with full consultation with all interested parties, especially agriculturalists. Existing restrictions on the small arms trade must be enforced.

A joined-up environmental policy needs to be in place, stopping exploitative and irresponsible development of what should be farming land. Not least, professional training and accountability for local police and national or regional security forces is imperative. This is one of several areas where international aid and encouragement should be targeted. And it is essential to identify and support those religious leaders, Muslim and Christian, who have preserved a larger perspective and are willing to risk creating contexts for mediation – and to keep up articulate and honest advocacy with government.

The cost of the middle-belt conflicts to Nigeria runs into billions of dollars, but the true cost is in lives and in hope for Christian communities increasingly dreading extermination, and Muslim communities affected by the vicious apocalyptic fantasies of Daesh and Boko Haram.

This report is essential reading for anyone concerned to understand the multiple vulnerabilities of African nations in our globally interconnected world – anyone who wants to protect civilians.

Alright fine, if you advocate for Ejaghams to be part of Biafra, I don't have any problem with that because you guys don't have the sort of disgusting entitlement mentality many minorities in Niger Delta have.

Ejaghams will have the liberty to choose to go with us Igbos or with Akwa-Cross. But either ways, you guys will be okay.

The Ekoi people will not go with Efik or ibibio. They will go with Igbo nation in a confederation. That one I'm 100% sure. Visit UNN and see how they relate with the igbos.
