nengibo: Though it will be great to have a nation based on ethno/lingo similarities, sadly Nigeria's problem is greater than it's dissolution into smaller parts, if that was the case our individual states/regions will be paradise by virtue of the resources available to them, think deeply then you will see the need to start your agitation at a state level and electing competent leaders.
Did u follow the last general election?
Did u see wat happened in Osun with Davido Uncle or Imo State of recent?
Or u forgot the killings in Bayelsa and Rivers so soon, by the Army? Shooting that included the King of Southern Ijaw?
Amebaba01: I don't really understand Nigerian abroad..Why are they always be the points of target.I think this is high time for Nigerians living in abroad to abide to the rules of the land,and they should stop looking for unnecessary supports from different angles. Base on my view,I saw set of people who placed themselves above law of the land.
We can stay here criticising Nigerians, but the fact is, somebody lost his life.
He might have just been invited out, like everybody else.
Why did the establishment allow them to hold a party in their premises if that is not allowed?
The questions are endless.
Wat i am sure about is that Ghana Xenophobia and attitude towards Nigeria must be addressed to be resolved.

Fulani Movement Ask Members To Advance South, Well Armed To Expand The Caliphate by decode: 3:34pm FUNAM OF CORE NORTH ASK MEMBERS TO ADVANCE SOUTHWARD WELL ARMED TO EXPAND D CALIPHATE GET YOURSELF READY WITH THE SWORD, DO NO SHRINK (Exact headline written in Arabic)
A pamphlet written in Hausa and distributed among youths in traditional Kano and Bauchi settlements few days ago.
Interpreted for easy comprehention of non-Hausa speakers. There was also an Islamic version of the pamphlet distributed in Sokoto alone.
The past few weeks have been difficult for Northern youths. Our youths are sent back from Southern States by some irresponsible State Governors.
The movement of Northern youths to Southern States is Guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution.
The movement of Northern youths to any part of Nigeria, including Southern States is enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.
The attempts to send back Northern youths, even as Southern youths move in large numbers to the North without restriction is not only unfair but undermines equity.
We urge the Northern youths to resist, by all means necessary any attempt to send them back by Southern Governors
We see the actions of these Governors and their agents as provocative and a devious assault on free movement of persons contained in the Nigerian Constitution and the ECOWAS Protocol on movement of goods and persons.
We declare any State that refuses to allow Northern youths to Southern States as an enemy that we promise will be fought vigorously. We urge you, faithful men, not to cringe, not to fear, not to look back. The battle is better fought on their homeland.
We inform you that we your leaders held meetings across the key Northern States of Sokoto, Bornu, Katsina, Kano, Yobe, Kebi, Bauchi and Kaduna. Our resolve is that Northern youths should move enmasse to Southern States. Relaunch the mass movement in ways they have never seen Go in long convoys. If you are stopped, use all means, the bushpath, the railways and all.
If the towns and cities are hostile, hang out on the street corners, in uncompleted buildings, occupy the forests, pitch tents, make any where available as your abode, your rest places, your home.
We urge you to be armed. The infidels may want to attack you.
They may want to confront you violently, you must defend yourself.
You must know it is our tradition to walk tough, never move around without your protective weapons.
We have issued directives to you in the past. Take to these instructions.
The day of reckoning will come. It is even nearer than imagined.
It will be disastrous to ever assume there will be no battle at all, before we regain the lost Caliphate.
Our forefathers fought up to Ilorin. We conquered all.
The British stopped us. Our responsibility is to complete the circle. It is a task that must be fulfilled.

in Bayelsa State 0 0 0 IYC Decries Posting Of Four Police Commissioners To Bayelsa In Two Weeks
The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) on Wednesday dissociated the Ijaws from the agitation for Oduduwa Republic and urged those behind the moves to steer clear of Ijaw lands and territories in their quest.
Kennedy Olorogun, Chairman, IYC Transition implementation Committee spoke to newsmen in Yenagoa following reports credited to Chief Ayo Adebanjo, a chieftain of Afenifere associating the Ijaws with Oduduwa Republic. Adebanjo had in media reports credited to him included Ijaw territories as part of proposed Oduduwa Republic as indigenous People group for United Nations recognition. Olorogun noted that the Ijaws were a distinct ethnic nationality and do not to be subsumed or used to agitate for relevance and advised those behind the plot to have a rethink.
“Ordinarily we have nothing against people fighting for self determination because it is in tune with our aspiration as a people.
“However, we note that in a recent presentation to be part of indigenous people organisation of the United Nations, the promoters of the Oduduwa movement included Ijaw lands and territories in the present Edo and Delta States as part and parcel of the Oduduwa Republic.
“We wish to state clearly that though we are not against the aspiration of the Oduduwa movement self determination movement, however, Ijaw lands and territories should be left out of the composition of the Oduduwa areas.
“The Ijaw people are indigenous and distinct people in Nigeria and Africa and not part and parcel of any other ethnic nationality in Nigeria.
“The Ijaw territories of Egbema, Okomu, Gbarai, Olodiama and Furopagha in Edo State and Gbaramatu, Ogbe-Ijoh, Isaba, Egbema and Diebiri in the Warri Federal Constituency of Delta State which were included as part of the Oduduwa Republic are not Yoruba lands but owned by Ijaw people.
“We call on the promoters of the Oduduwa Republic to henceforth not include those areas as part of their Republic. We are not part and parcel of their Republic and do not wish to be part of it.
“We also call on the Indigenous people organisation of the United Nations to take note,” Olorogun said.
