Look what an elder states man is saying. Rather than preaching peace, he's fueling the fire. I don't blame Igbo for wanting to separate away from the North. The North are so primitive in thinking.

Sadly, if a war do break out, it would swallow every body but most specifically, the North. People like Junaid uses the first war to conclude how a second war would result without thinking. It clear the North has severe disadvantage compared to 1967. Western countries, judging by their lack support towards Boko Haram, wouldn't assist. North Africa has it's own mess to clean up so they equally wouldn't get involved. The blockade from Cameroon wouldn't occur as Amazonbia may assist Igbos. Most Nigerian allies in the first war wouldn't be of aid judging by their lack of aid currently. The middle belt likely wouldn't join the North this time around. In SS, we won't join the North and I'm not sure about Yoruba. Yoruba may join the North.

The dynamic of 1967 is not what will play out in 2019 as someone mentioned earlier. It's very ignorant for Junaid or any Northern to think the result would be the same. Even worse, the actions of North leaders towards SE have created an intense hate in the hearts of Igbo youths including ones in foreign countries. A hate worse than what their parents had at that time. A fight fueled by hate is always deadly and bloody and two war fronts is not an easy task. I doubt Boko Haram would stop fighting. Let Junaid keep pushing for violence, in the end, the North is who's going to be one left to be fighting two wars without help at the same time. Good luck

Most of you arguing do not even know what you're arguing about. The list did not come out in April of this year. The list was highlighted in April to combat Dabiri Tribalism. The list in question was released last year by the federal government.

Many months after the Nigerian Government directed its embassy in Riyadh to intervene and stop further execution of Nigerians on death row over suspected drug offences, the officials have not succeeded, leading to the killing of no fewer than six persons within six months.

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari As at the time the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama issued the directive, there were 29 Nigerian drug suspects detained in various Saudi prisons, awaiting either further trial or outright execution which takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Apparently fearing for their lives, the suspects, who are drawn from various parts of Nigeria, in a Save-Our-Soul message made to President Muhammadu Buhari and made available to Naija247news, appealed to him to wade into their case as the father of all Nigerians and save their lives.

Part of the letter reads: “All we are pleading with our President and father, Muhammadu Buhari, is to get the Saudi government to transfer us to our father land to serve our jail terms and even die in our homeland instead of being slaughtered as lower animals in a foreign land.

“We are aware and are witnesses to the fact that other countries whose citizens were arrested and detained by the Saudi government on the same charges we are being charged with, have made strong cases for their natives and they have been saved from the hangman’s noose.

“Our dear president and father, we assure you that we will not run away but will serve the full length of our prison sentence if you hear our cry and cause our repatriation to our homeland to serve out our prison terms in Nigeria.

Onyeama “May the Almighty God help you to help us, Your Excellency,” the distressed Nigerian suspects, wrote. It will be recalled that in November last year, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Onyeama, had given an indication that the President Muhammad Buhari administration had directed that the Nigerian Embassy in Riyadh should get in touch with their host country and stop the execution of the detained Nigerians in the Middle East country.

Onyeama said, “We have made very strong intercessions with the government of those countries to review the cases and of course, not to execute those prisoners. But there is a limit, these are sovereign countries and they have processes and laws.

“As far as Saudi Arabia is concerned, it has been ongoing, we have been intervening at various levels with the Saudi government to spare the lives of those citizens and a number of NGOs have been working with us in order to get those Nigerian citizens off the death row,” the minister said.

But as at the time of going to the press, 22 Nigerians were still being detained in Riyadh while six had been killed, the last two, executed last month.

Here is the breakdown of those still in detention and those already executed:

Those awaiting execution: 1.AMODE SULAIMAN 2.IDRIS ADEPOJU 3.ABDULRIMI AJIBOLA 4.JIMOHN LAWA 5.TUNDE IBRAHEEM 6.HAFIS AMOSUN 7.ALIU MUHAMMED 8.LOLO BABATUNDE 9.ABDULRASAQ LAWAL 10.LOLO YEKININ 11.ABUBAKAR 12.KAWU MUHAMMED 13.MADINAH YAHYA 14.AWAU MUHAMMED 15.KAFILAT OLAJIDE 16.AYISA 17.ABDULRAMAN MUAZU 18.ABDULRAMAN DUROJAYE 19.ABUBAKAR USMAN 20.SUNNY 21.EMEKA 22.ISSA AND HIS GROUP Those already executed: 1.YUSUF YEKINI AJIBOYE 2.MUHAMMED ABUBAKRI 3.IBRAHIM CEROMA 4.ADEBAYO ADENIYI 5.MUHAMMED ISSA 6.BIOLA OLOGUNRO

APC is just full of idiots. They released a list and to give credence to their tribalist actions they are denying the same list they released. We have idiots running this government

What sort of stupid government do we have in Nigeria? The same government that gave us the list since 2018 are the same that is denying the list they provided? What sort of stupid government does APC run?

What investment does he hope to get from Fulanis? Apart from looting the country, what else have Nigeria gotten from Fulanis as a whole?

Lucas10:
This country is not safe

My prayer is to leave this country. Nigeria is a failed state..

No, the Yorubas are. The North and the rest of South are aware the North are hinders to our growth but, the Yoruba enable them whenever they can to satisfy their own greed. We cannot blame the North for keeping Nigeria immoveable, we blame the ones holding them in and fighting others to keep them as the bus driver. The Yoruba are the threats to our Economic growth. They do not care if the country does not grow as long as their greed is satisfied. SLS was correct when he said Yoruba are the problem of Nigeria.

His result provided a very good explanation why Nigeria fell both times he controlled the country. Someone with a result like this is the current president of Nigeria.

MNDY:
I said like. As for alignment, the south-south already has one - the Niger-Delta.

SS do not have a hateful bone as you Yorubas. The second you accept that, the better for you. The second you stop trying to spread the rumors that we are as hateful as you people the better for you. If you refuse to accept it, that's on your people. Enjoy you fallacy but do attempt to stop including us in your shameful acts.

MetaPhysical:
I say we brought you out of creek and opened your eyes. Now kip kwayet!

You say you brought us out of the creeks but yet, you neglected to bring your own selves out of poverty. Your people get insulted by your brown roofs, damaged huts and lack of personal hygiene littered all over your states in this 21st century but yet you decieve yourselves that you contributed in the growth of anybody. Remove your hands from your hallow chest and go fix your decaying lands.

Blakjewelry:
Nigerian army still using that old tactics forgetting its a new era

Exactly. It's the same story. They do something sinister and deny it when caught.

Buhari is going to destroy Nigeria with his ignorance he's creating a whole new Boko Haram. May God have mercy on us

We are not surprised, an idiot is the president

Fulanis are growing wings in Nigeria. I hope everybody that supported and voted Buhari are happy with what's going on in Nigeria. I hope they are satisfied with the rubbish

MetaPhysical:
I [s]say if not Yoruba that civilized you, you will be trapping fish today going from swamp to swamp. We invested in your future. That same Baba Awo you disrespect stood there proudly while your nayked ancestors were counted and registered to learn abc and how to count fish.

Dont make me talk. I will reveal many t hings about you Nigerians do not know.

Abi you want make i show your leper ancestors and how they were quarantined under care of missionary doctors?

You better respect Yoruba before i rubbish you[/s].

What's this one making noise about? Do I look like one that's interested to watch Yoruba dance around naked in the market like primitive animals. You must have me mistaken as someone interested in rubbish. Go find Igbos to address since they appear interested in your rubbish.

Wannabe civilizer, 21st century Yoruba still believe cutting a man or woman's head and gentiles would bring them immense wealth. Civilize your people first before decieving yourself you contributed in the growth of anybody.

Yoruba are on this topic making a mockery of themselves but yet, you are seeking respect from me for addressing it and advicing to not bring my people into it. Your people disrespected themselves and your ethnic group. I'm not one to blame for their desperate act.

MetaPhysical:
[s]Do we have to show your nayked forefathers again before you come to your senses?

Yoruba civilized you, SS and SE. We have see your ancestors black blokos infront of cameran when Awo brought Universal Free Education to save your people from a dead end future in the creeks. [/s]

Go save and civilize yourselves first before decieving yourself with rubbish. I'm not going to communicate with someone that's not sane.

I do agree with the ultimatum because Buhari appears to not have interest to stop the fulani herdsmen on their actions. How many death and harassment do one need to see before banning and declaring a group terrorist. He banned Shiites despite not reporting any death. He banned Ipob despite not reporting any death but, the Fulanis Herdsmen are given protection. For what reason? I don't support Biafra until all fighting for it gives a concrete reason why people should support them but this ultimatum I agree with and I do hope they carry it out.

Yoruba people have a serious problem the more I read the comments here. I'm not sure where they are coming up with the lines that SS prefer Yorubas over Igbo or whatever else they keep writing on here. Smh at the level of desperate Yorubas have descended themselves to. Quite very sad

MNDY:
I for one see you two as one and the same (south-east & south-south), a lot of outsiders do too. Y'all look alike even. I served with 2 south-south and south-east guys.

We lived together in the same lodge and I can categorically tell you that south-south don't really like the south-east as the latter does the former. South-south likes the Yoruba's more.

What is wrong with Yoruba people? When have SS ever aligned with Yoruba people in anything that Yoruba continuously attempt to paint SS with the hate brush you have. Majority of SS do not hate Igbos nor do we prefer Yorubas over Igbos. Nothing gives that impression therefore, where you people come up with this rubbish is a mystery to all. SS are not hateful and stop trying to spread the rumors that we are just because you people are.

wirinet:
I am an original SS person, an Itsekiri in fact. If it comes to a choice between going with Yorubas and going with igbos, Itsekiris, Urhobos, the Binis, and even western ijaws, would prefer to go with the Yorubas.

Is it the whole of the SS that bears Igbo names? How many Itsekiris, Urhobos, Binis, and ijaws do you know that bears Igbo names?

You could do your comment without including ijaws in your assumption. Why would we join Yoruba for anything? For what reason? To sell us out to Hausa/Fulani for whatever greedy ambitious they have? Look at where Nigeria have gotten to because of Yorubas stupid greedy ambition.

If the choice is between Igbo and Yoruba, I prefer Igbos. Majority of Izon prefer Igbos. You would do yourself a favor and don't include Ijaw in whatever rubbish you intend to write. Speak for your people alone.

Buhari and his crew have no respect for Nigerians. If he did, he would be here insulting us everyday with lies.

YorubaHero12:
Go and meet Sowore and tell him he is not Yoruba.

I don’t have time to discuss things that are not relevant coz it’s just waste of precious time.

Sowore have always identified as an Ijaw and not, a Yoruba.

Stop making a mockery of your people in your attempt to redeem your ethnicity on the travesty and stupidity you people bestowed on the entire Nigeria's populace because of your people's greediness and selfishness

KingOdart:
Sowore is a full blooded Ijaw man not Yoruba, it was even written on his Wikipedia page that he is Ijaw

But you can keep denying or whatever, it wouldn't change the fact that he is an Ijaw and part of Ijaw from Ondo

Ignore them. They destroyed Nigeria because of their greedy ambitious and now attempting to use an Ijaw cleaning up their mess as redemption for Yoruba's stupidity. Very sad to say indeed how desperate, shallow and shameful Yorubas have become. Very sad

Damod88:
The apois identify more as Yorubas than ijaws. Surely the apois have half ijaw ancestry and half Yoruba ancestry, but over the centuries, they have assimilated the Yoruba culture to the extent that they easily pass more for Yoruba than ijaw. In other words, they have been yorubanized.

The Apois do not identify as Yoruba be it past, present or future. The Apois are proudly ijaw and always been. Unfortunately, they are forced to share a state with Yorubas. Find something better to do instead of attaching to people that aren't you

The Fulanis do not make a report before attacking but yet, Yoruba will? Who do they think will take them seriously? Please enough of the fake bravery.

I didn't know there's such thing as a fulani Christian. Sad they are yoked in with their Muslim counterparts mess.

Everybody knows this and the blame goes directly on Yoruba people. They forced that lifeless idiot on everybody.

How do you fix a country with leaders that are bent on destroying it?

Greed always comes with a price. Yoruba did this to themselves all for a 2023 position that may never happen. How the self reported mighty has fallen.

So we should continue to allow Fulanis to kill people all over the country. This wouldn't have reached to this level if Buhari and his government weren't busy making excuses and protecting the killers when they attacked different communities. The worst thing that happened to Fulanis is Buhari. He made them public enemy and exposed them to cleansing

The Fulanis are not on Nairaland, stop making empty threats

JasonScoolari:
Thank God for men like OBJ, Nyesom Wike, FFK, Reno Bemigho Omokri and Obaseki who stands for their people at all times.

Left for one brown teeth drug baron we know, he would have mortgage his region for a miserable "2023" plate of Amala and Ewedu.

Thank God for those men for standing by the truth.
