May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, may aljannah firdaus be his final abode.

First a background.
I am Igbo and I live in the north of Nigeria. I have followed events quite closely, listening to all sides hoping to decide which argument has the most merit. As it is , the northern youths' ultimatum to my kin to leave the north has helped crystallize my own position.
I am in favour of a UN backed referendum for the Igbo and any others to express their desires or otherwise to break away from Nigeria. I do hope that can be done quickly enough, and am urging the FG to please expedite this process. Ultimately I would hope that borders and other terms of the separation would be decided under the watchful eyes of the int'l community, and the new nation birthed in peace.
I've had to define my position to debunk the myth of the Igbo who will not leave the north come what may. I was born here in the north and only had my university training in the east . NYSC and 100% of my working life have been in the north and I have many friends here , but I will never succumb to the humiliation of being called a parasite on the north. Indeed I and many others like me have given to the north more than it has given me.
I was the only doctor in the local government where I served (NYSC) and the constant communication from my friends there show how much I meant to them. I own a hospital now, and 95 percent of my staff are northeners. Many of my friends similarly. Listen : if the north wants me to leave, I am more than happy to oblige them.

Now my advice:
1. All Igbo in the remote northern hinterland should relocate as a first step to the city centers with large Igbo populations. Don't be found alone when it goes down.
2. Arrangements for sufficient video surveillance of happenings should be made by all. Get a recording device and carry it with you at all times. Place any potentially illegal infringement on your rights on record. We hope to open a Facebook account where folks can post videos and all.
3. Be sure to have papers of your real estate. Bank them if you can.
4. Be extremely cautious what you say/do on social media, or in real life. DONT DRAW FIRST BLOOD!.
5. relocate those you can.
6. Keep in touch. Arrangements are being made to beam an intense international media searchlight on Igbo enclaves in the north. Don't be isolated.
7. BE READY TO GO HOME!!! Our aim is a legal divorce from Nigeria with a new homeland to relocate to; until that is guaranteed its suicidal to congregate in the east under guard of a hostile and reckless armed forces. Don't go anywhere until Biafra or some other entity legally emerges.
8. Stop all further investments in the north. Transfer what you can home. Even if Nigeria remains as is, you should have learnt a thing or two.
9. I have put up some of my real estate for sale. You may wish to do the same.
10. Retain contacts with our Christian brothers from the middle belt and the northern minorities. There will be future negotiations and discussions, and all contacts and connections will be useful.
11. Lastly don't tar everyone with the same brush. There are core Hausa Fulani that are as disturbed by recent events. There are good and bad people everywhere .
Whatever happens hereafter , Nigeria can never remain the same again.
There was a country.

Are u given them free medical services? na their own money we come take them go to that hospital of urs, even if u go another northerner will replace u. Go go go go and don't come back

May God forgive u, u filthy scumbag

excanny:


I guess you didnt know the meaning of one Nigeria you signed.

You can not deport a citizen of a country from that country. Get that into your coconut skull.

If you want Ibos to leave, you have to first strip them of citizenship.

Until then, wallow in your misery until a referendum makes Ibos non-citizens, only then can you deport them.

hahahahaha

Valindazz:
How do I get this kind of phone?

Evans brother in crime

Beverages:
I'm so fucking_ sick and tired of Evans news already!!

may be u are his brother

excanny:


Leaving the North and going back to East na still same Nigeria.

If you really want them to leave Nigeria, make it official by fixing the referendum date.

If u wanna me to take u serious about what u are agitating then go back to ur enclave, after all u will seek for referendum, you cannot be living in some ones land and be seeking ur own country, go and read the Western sahara struggle, this one na one chance, after the break u will be saying we wan stay nd do ur business in northern Nigeria but if ur serious return back to that deadlock or landlock or what ever u call it nd fight for it cause.
it is time for ur people to be working in the banks u have dominated, go to eastern Nigeria u will never see a notherner working in a bank and all the federal institutions but here we accomodate u. very useless people

HiddenShadow:

We will never trade with your people again
They will be no diplomatic ties

Trust we Biafrans on that

Thank God, if that is so i will be the first person to vote for bi.fraudexit.

cikranco2011:
That Educationist Aboki should mind his utterances. I want independent republic of biafra does not mean i can't stay and do business in nigeria with visa. Just as every nigerian is doing business outside the shores of nigeria with visa. If UN should intervene igbo will get their referedum and dependent without losing anything and reside were ever they want in nigeria and do business but now with visa, Afterall the richest mallam has his investment all over the world so if UN and US should start attacking on him and most of the northern Elite class that equally have business all over the world they will have sense. senseless aboki trying to enslave igbo

If biafa is born, we will never allow any Ewu igbos to do business in our domain, we don't even need diplomatic ties with them not to talk of having visa to live in our beloved country.

Buharimustgo:
He said Ndibgo ate Vultures,Bat and Frogs, this man can lie for all Muslim Illiterates

They even use to eat donkey, that is why they are having donkey's brain and they act like donkeys

Ewu igbo pls go back to ur bia.fraud, the country of shinning sun, the dead and landlock country.

Naruto87:
those who came for the peace talks are the true representatives of the Igbo masses... the declaration made by arewa youth( if carried out) would lead to the death of a lot of innocent people. a dead man has no PRIDE!! I support Biafra but let's achieve it in a peaceful way.
not every Igbo person that's leaves in the north has d means to relocate or even a place to relocate too. to those who have witness bloodshed face to face understand what it means to live and die.. don't ever pray for war its a horrible thing.

Your comment make sense, u are great nd reasonable person.

ExInferis:


They are begging to stay in Nigeria.

Now that Evans has been arrested, the GDP of the South East is going down.

Correct word my guy.

they are negotiating to stay in Nigeria

nurex01:

rasazee:

daviomy:

Rashe:
Good evening my fellow nairalanders,
There was a post earlier on this thread where the poster claimed N.power beneficiaries won't be able to benefit in any other federal jobs. I want the house to shed more light on this issue especially the already N.power participants so that new applicants will know what they are up to.
Thanks in anticipation.

It is not true my brother, i am one of the beneficiary of npower, as i am writing to u now i have secure a federal government job and i have already collected my provisional appointment letter, i am just waiting my posting letter any time from now.

melodyogonna:
Ofcourse we have accepted it in good faith, your people should jst do nothing stupid before then.

We will never do any thing stupid, just accept the declaration announcement and return back to east, i assure you nothing stupid will happen.

junketer:
you think ojukwu wanted to be president in other to rule nigeria? If ojukwu had won, he would've divided nigeria within his first year in office.

You people are funny

falcon01:

We will stop them by the will God.

Position of the Yoruba Self Determination Groups on the State of the Nation MEDIA STATEMENT

The O’odua Nationalist Coalition ,(ONAC) has called on Yoruba people to prepare for their own sovereign nation in the face of the lingering problems and conflict built around the national question that has stunted the growth of Nigeria for over a century.

This conflict has again reared its head, 50 years after a civil war that inflicted pain and misery on the Yoruba people apart from distorting the development plan of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo for the South West.

ONAC is made up of 18 Pan Yoruba groups including the Oodua Peoples Congress, (OPC), Oodua Liberation Movement, (OLM), Oodua Republic Coalition, (ORC), Yoruba Revolutionary Congress, (YORC), Oodua Muslim-Christian Dialogue Group , (OMDG), Yoruba Students Nationalist Front, (YOSNF), Oodua Hunters Union, (OHUN) and 11 other groups. The statement was signed by Micheal Popoola, Oluwole Suleiman and Mrs Aduke Fadahunsi on behalf of the coalition.

The group called on Yoruba people in the territories of the Hausa-Fulani North to be guided by a strong sense of history and the fact that they will not be spared by those who claim to be their hosts. We advise them to begin to make alternative plans for the inevitable upheaval being promoted by the Fulani oligarchy.

The group said the North has always been the aggressor because of the region’s loss of power and the unhidden desire to make Nigeria the irreversible extension of the Fulani emirate. What we see is violent conflict of civilisations which can only be resolved when each region go her own way. In the bid to keep Nigeria as one country, millions of people have been killed and the lives of children wasted, the future pauperized and the potentials of Yoruba young men and women bottled or chained with fetters of iron.

“Today, we make the historic declaration that Yoruba people are ready for our own Oduduwa Republic. We have watched events these past days. The cloud is getting thicker. The poisonous rain appear ready to fall. It is time for the Yoruba people to be ready to defend our homeland from being seized by local imperial elements and their collaborators. We assert Yoruba self-determination and sovereignty. We shall work for it. We will actualize it,” ONAC said in the statement issued at the weekend.

The groups said the Yoruba people have suffered unprecedented hardship in the form of human and material destruction since 1960 when the country attained independence.

“Our leaders beginning from Chief Obafemi Awolowo were jailed on trumped up charges. 28 leaders of Yoruba were imprisoned unjustly. Chief M.K.O Abiola was murdered. The industrial bases built by Awolowo were destroyed by the military rookies appointed to control the South West region, our culture destroyed and the future of our young people put asunder. Today, many Yoruba people have become scavengers across the world fleeing from a hostile, bloodletting and malicious country that hold no promise of good and abundant life for the long suffering and exhausted population.

The group stated further “we call on Yoruba people all over the world to prepare for a sovereign nation for the people of the South West. We are over 50 million and far more than the population of 140 countries in the world. Yoruba will be the third biggest nation in Africa and about the 28th biggest nation in the world. We are big and knowledgeable enough to be a sovereign nation. We assert the Yoruba self-determination without any further delay.”

The Pan Yoruba group said with the position of Northern youths asking Igbo to quit the North, the outright demand for Arewa sovereignty by the Northern Elders Forum, (NEF), and the legitimate demand for Biafra by Igbo, the call for a Niger-Delta Republic “It is time for the Yoruba people to stand for Oodua Republic without any further delay. Yoruba people this time will not support any attack on Self determination.We shall mobilise the masses and prevent Yoruba people from being used for any attack on the long suffering indigenous peoples of the South East and the South- South"

ONAC said the quit notice issued by the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, (AYCF) and the Northern Elders Forum, (NEF) was not against the Igbo alone but also against the Yoruba since Igbo is not written on the forehead of residents in the North.

ONAC stated “ This is not the first time we have called for Oodua Republic. In April 2015, we organized a massive rally demanding for Oodua Republic. But today, this demand has become even more crucial than any other thing.

Shouldn't you tell your Northern politicians to accept a referendum first?

It is your leaders who are saying that unity is not negotiable.

Who ever said unity is not negotiable is filthy scumbag, unity of Nigeria is very negotiable.
after Nigerian civil war, people like late murtala muhammad, want Arewa to be a country on it own but Yakubu gowon refuse to accept that proposal
