[ @obiorah: ] [justify][justify]- Ijaw Youth council has berated Nigerian security over non-arrest of Arewa youths who gave notice to Igbos resident in the northern states

- The IYC says the action of the security agencies was wrong saying if youths in the south had made such statements, they would have landed in detention


- The group called on security agencies to live up to their billings in the discharge of their security assignments to Nigerians


The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has berated the Nigerian security agencies over the preferential treatment given to Arewa youths in the handling of youth restiveness in the country. President of the IYC, Eric Omare, in a statement mailed to NAIJ.com, said the Nigerian soldiers and police are treating with kids glove the threat issued by youths of the Northern extraction, noting that their silence smacks off irresponsibility of their part.




Omare said the Arewa youths quit notice to Igbos living in the north to vacate the zone by October 1, 2017 amounted to grave threat to national security and the indivisibility of the country. Quit notice: IYC takes Nigerian security to the cleaners over non-arrest of Arewa youths He, however, said the relevant security agencies have deliberately kept a deaf ear to the security threat posed by the Arewa youths, describing the notice as treasonable offense.



Omare said: “The IYC is sure that if similar threats had been issued by youths from other parts of the country, especially the Niger Delta region, communities such as Kaiama, Okerenkoko, Warri, Yenagoa and indeed the entire Niger Delta region would have been under security siege. “We totally and in strongest words condemn this double standard by the Nigeria security agencies. It is totally unacceptable for security agencies to apply double standard in response to security threats in different parts of the country. “The standard applied to youth groups and agitators in the south should also be applied to same class of people from the north. “The questionable position of the security agencies indicates that some very powerful persons in the north and the federal government are behind the Arewa youths.




"This fact has already been confirmed by Arewa Youth leader, Yerima Shettima who said that their leaders are behind them.” According to him, the IYC is confident that if Yerima Shettima and his co-travellers were to be Niger Deltans, they would have been behind bars now. He said it is on record that Niger Delta activists such as Daniel Ezekiel, Jones Abiri and others are still in detention without trial for mere allegations of threat to national security.



He faulted the silence of the Nigerian security, calling on them to rise above politics and stop the double standard in the performance of their duties. He said the Arewa youth leaders who issued the treasonable quit notice to Igbos in the north should be made to account for their actions to avoid unnecessary loss of lives and properties as a result of their quit notice.

Wait O!! Do they have the interview in Nigeria, or it was recorded before he was arrested? ? Because I learnt his travel documents was seized prior to his release.
AM NOT UNDERSTANDING

specco:
Do you ever think that a Yoruba man can become the president of Nigeria again through the ballot box after betraying the SE and SS during the last general elections that brought Buhari? No SE or SS person will give their vote to a SW candidate again. In the event of an Northerner and a SW man vying for Aso rock seat, surely the SS & SE will vote for the Northerner. Hausa/Fulanis all the way.

Who are these bunch of clowns substituting Biafra call for Igbo president.Igbo president is NOT the solution to the myriad of problems bedeviling the Igbo nation.It should NEVER be used as a baggaining chip.Igbo presidency being advocated by the same political elites who destroyed Nigeria.Those calling for the Igbo president are actually the Hausa/Fulanis and their stooges in the SE who are looking for ways to water down the Biafra agitation and placate the feeling of Igbos.This will not work because Igbos are wiser than this and understand this game plan.Igbos need a country where freedom,equity and justice is guaranteed.A country were excellence and hard work are rewarded.A country with a constitution created and ratified by the citizens.

GoroTango:
Since its highly unlikely for a president of igbo extraction to be elected in 2019, why wait for 2020 to push the self destruct Biafra button? What these groups are saying amounts to outright blackmail. Their message is: Its either you elect an igbo president at the next polls or we secede. Fellow Nigerians do we give in?

madridguy:
We the yoot of Ipork don't want anything from Nigeria. All we want is Biafra the sun must go inside.

kingzizzy:
Forget these Northerners. Their real frustration is that they have not managed to intimidate Igbos they way they have intimidated Yorubas. It is an affront to their born to their 'born to rule' mentality that Igbos are still agitating for Biafra. They thought by now they would be using Igbos as door mat since they won the war. Thats why they see the 30th of May as defiance to their imperial rule. So they retaliated and asked the Igbos to go home. Frustration is killing the Northerners. The Igbos are irritating them with Biafran agitation, they are irritated by Osibanjos rising profile, they are frustrated by Buhari being sick.

The North had better get used to being frustrated because nothing is going to stop Igbos pulling out of Nigeria.

To be a leader you need to be elected appointed to the role of leadership
If you check the definition of a leader, you would likely find he doesn't fit the definition.
