Thank you. I don't know how someone can get so worked up over something that shouldn't concern them. It's not as though we want to drag the Yorubas, Hausas, Bini etc people with us into our country- that's exactly what we don't want. If I had my way then it'd only be Igbos allowed plus a few minority groups who really want to join us.

The only thing holding down ibos from leaving is greed. Let the national conference start with them if they truly want to go.

Start an IPOB conference, reach a resolution on your desire to leave, present a clearly defined boundary of your new country. Remember, if you can limit your new country to the core ibo states without trying to steal other people's properties a lot of Yoruba will be more inclined to support you.

Many persons are said to have been
killed on Saturday when heavily armed men attacked Goska Kanikon village in Jemaa Local Government area of Kaduna State.

The latest attack is coming barely four days after indigenes of southern Kaduna staged a protest in Kafanchan, the headquarters of Jemaa Local Government Area against the continous killing of their people by suspected
herdsmen.

An indigene of the area who witnessed the incident Saturday evening, told Channels Television that the heavily armed gunmen invaded the village at about 6:000 p.m. local time, opened fire on the residents and also set houses ablaze.
He further said that ‘many villagers have fled from their homes to neighbouring communities’ while there is no presence of security operatives in the area.

The attack is happening on a day that both the General Officer Commanding One Division of the Nigerian Army and the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police visited Kafanchan to assess the progress of troop operations in Southern part of Kaduna State where most of the attacks occurred.
Goska Kanikon community is about eight
kilometres from Kafanchan, the headquarters of Jemma Local Government Area.

In the meantime, spokesman for the Kaduna police command, Usman Aliyu, said that he was not aware of the fresh attack, but promised to confirm and give further information about the incident.

AN OPEN LETTER TO Nnmadi Kanu.
Dear Mr. Nnamdi Kanu,
You might not be able to read this;but I do hope it reaches you somehow. I wanted to tell you how I admire you,especially with the leadership role you are playing in leading the "progressive"Ibo people under the aegis of Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB) from the south-east geo-political zone of this country. It requires courage far greater than I could muster.

Also of importance to this letter is about the struggle to rescue this country and find a sustainable solution to our decades long problem emerging from the nooks and crannies of this entity.

102years ago, the Northern and the southern protectorate of Nigeria were amalgamated by the British colonial governor Fredrick Lugard for administrative purposes. Such union had been fought in the past by some of our founding fathers.
Interestly,we've come a long way to preserve and protect the sanctity of our union since 1914. After the indepenence of 1960 from the British government and attaining the status of republic in 1963, the foundation of this union had been tested by numerous challenges such as coup D'etat (bloody&bloodless), regional struggle, civil war,religious bigotry,"chameleon" form of government,recession and recently the movement to restructure the political and economic institution of this nation. Have observed that we've always emerged stronger from these myriad of obstacles.
It is my sincere concern to address the agitation that you are currently been persecuted for, and that is the secession of the south-east from the federation. I identify myself with the plight of the Ibo people since the collapse of the first republic in 1966. But Identifying myself with this plight is not my immediate motive but rather seeing this issue as a Nigeria problem and not the problem of neither the south nor the north.

As a youth who will soon be out from the inside world(university) to the outside world( one sided structure of Nigeria political and economic system),I think the sustainable way for the people of the south-east to attain their desire goal of political and economic success is beyond seceding from the federation. Over the past few weeks have taken my time to engaged my fellow students on wayforward for us as a nation.some are clamoring for the separation of the union, some are agitating for restructuring , while others want a revolution. But have also realized that the composition and the structure of this country is "uniquely different" from any other on this planet.

The way we got our independence is hugely different from the way the US fought the Britain to be free, it differs from how India was independent and it diverge from the way Ghana was independent.
The first step of my approach to a sustainable solution for all of us in this country to once again live the dream of our founding fathers is by mandating the buhari's led federal government to adopt the 2014 confab report. Although, the constitution of members of the confab was not perfect but have rather find there recommendations appealing. There recommendations have taken care of both our age long issues and present day struggle such as fiscal federalism,youth empowerment and participation in government, local and national security,institutional development,social equality among the six-geo political zones, economic development and diversification of the economy, resource control e.t.c. I hope Nigerian youths will get their hands on this document and realize is time to speak up.
Secondly sir, you can use your leverage to awaken the spirit of patriotism and level of consciousness of our teeming youths to ensure the full adoption of this report in collaboration with different stakeholders such as labour unions,civil groups,NANS, religious bodies, ASUU,NASU,NBA,political parties,e.t.c.
Thirdly, the unification of this union and the promotion of our oneness rather than our differences is the source of our strength.
With this peaceful approach,slowly but surely we will bend the trajectory of this country towards social equality, social justice , strong institutions and we shall in the end enjoy the Nigeria of our dream. That does not mean we should not protest about what is wrong but rather we must not fear to protest but we must never protest out of fear just like what happened during the national protest against the removal of fuel subsidy, we almost change the trajectory of this country then, but the rest is history.
I condemn in strong term the plan of the federal government to conduct a secret trial based on the charges brought against you. I solidarize with you and hope our youths will rather be more motivated to stand up for the truth no matter the consequences. Nelson Mandela is a legacy for us just like the way you are now inspiring us towards a "NEW NIGERIA" in the not too distant future. I hope to work with you in realisation of the "NEW NIGERIA" after whatever god you are serving has brought you out safely from your present persecution. A NEW NIGERIA where no matter the region you came from you can attain whatever you desire,a NEW NIGERIA where institutions will be stronger than individuals not even the president and a NEW NIGERIA where there is massive investment in our infrastructures,education,social security,economy,health sector.e.t.c. Just like the statement made by the late chief obafemi awolowo while also going through your present situation, he said "there will be light after the tunnel".
May the peace and hope that comes with the birth of our lord Jesus Christ be your portion and strengthen you in your current plight. Merry Christmas and happy new year in advance.
Yours Sincerely,
JEGEDE ABAYOMI S.,

“I will address this court! You cannot be killing my people and tell me that you will make me have a secret trial. That won’t happen! The president can intimidate the judges, but he cannot do that to me. Tell him he has lied,”
