I got this report tonight from someone living in that area today. He said unknown gunmen attacked the Fulanis and killed some of them.

Note that I'm not a northerner o. This might be that some people want to cause troubles for the Yoruba in that area in form of reprisals.

I don't know why these people are always afraid. Well a coward dies 10× before their actual death.

Any Southerner, be you Igbo, Yoruba or minority that still support this contraption called Nigeria is cursed! These bastards think they own this useless and everything in it.

Imagine a whole governor gave an order to demolish a market and bastards that came from the North attacked the police that went to enforce it. They had to use AK47 rifles to attack them yet up till now, there is no combined military, police and airforce being sent to rout them!!

Can any Southerner say Igbos or Yorubas do same in the North without the combined army, police and airforce being unleashed to wreak havoc on them?!

If you're a Southerner seeing all these madness and support Nigeria then you're cursed!!!

Chai zoogerians have murdered sleep. IPOB news now dominates headlines and they can't sleep again.

Dismantling the contraption is the duty every Southerner should help accomplish.

Interesting read. Light and darkness can't live together. Since the North has chosen barbarism just like Somalia, we the progressive South need to cut them loose ASAP so we can chart our own course and develop to our full potential.

Rosskiiku:
I laugh at all these youths calling for break up of Naija.

So as you can shuttle now from Lagos to Jos to Abuja to Enugu to Port Harcourt AT WILL WITH NO DISTURBANCE, you want to replace that with being stuck in one region and needing VISA to enter Lagos. VISA to enter Port Harcourt or Benin?

Police in those places will harass you constantly to show your papers.

You will just turn a very local champion in your new small country.

Shuttling between Enugu, Umuahia, and Aba only.

You'll be fcked.

Talk about limiting your horizon.

From a Nigerian to a Togolese.

Stop talking like a very ignorant person. No one needs a visa to live anywhere in West Africa. Do know the thousands of Igbos living in Ivory coast, Senegal, Ghana, Togo, Cameroun, Congo, Gabon etc? Even if it requires a visa for me to live anywhere of my choice, then I will apply for it.

Flight or even bus ticket is far more expensive than even the visa you are yapping about.

What has living together as Nigerians brought upon us aside deaths, destruction, poverty, corruption and misery?

Stop decieving yourself, every sensible person (aside parasites) must dedicate their time, energy and resources towards contributing their own quota in breaking up this contraption.

You guys can enjoy the oil resources while you can. The party will soon be over.

Parasites!!!

justtoodark:


he is igbo,you moroon....!!

who says every igbo must agree with ipob....??

are you ipobians all insane....??

Abo.ki, I can bet a million naira that he is fulani. It is fulanis and a few others still suffering from Stockholm syndrome that still wants this hellhole called Nigeria to continue existing. No Igbo man will be so foolish as to want Nigeria to remain considering how useless, worthless and disgusting it has become. Nigeria is a huge embarrassment to any sane mine!

Well, I understand the plight of fulanis and why they desperately want Nigeria to remain at all costs, I mean why wouldn't they? Nigeria is a massive carcass they are feeding on, a very large host they suck endlessly as parasites!

An ethnic group that is only good in rearing cows like we are in the 17th century! They have seized control of oil wells that belong to others, seized control of ports that belong to others, seized control of government in a country they're a minority, seized control of virtually everything yet they contribute next to nothing to the same country.

They have successfully reduced a country that potentially had the best human and natural resources in Africa to a massive disgusting shlthole where primitivity, barbarism and savagery is the order of the day.

Anyone that is reasonable already knows that Nigeria is living in its last days as one nation. It will continue bumbling up and down until it finally collapses in your face!!

What a disgusting sh1thole. Always coming last in anything good but always comes first in anything bad!!

Breaking up this contraption is what every right thinking person should be aiming for now!

We definitely can't continue like this or else it will get to a point where we will kill each other to the last man standing.

If you still support one Nigeria then you're worse than the devil. Breaking up Nigeria will make life better for all, at least killings and destruction will certainly reduce to the barest minimum.

Jagunlabiodua:


How should we take a cue from Biafra that took up arms yet it failed and got millions of its citizens killed, Oodua have better strategies than that do not worry much. Oduduwa sovereignty has been declared, Its a Separate country from Nigeria, if Nigeria attacks Oduduwa for Land disputes then Oodualand will respond in Kind. There is no time for arms struggle, struggle with who? Fulanis? Fulanis that are scared of Yorubas, do you know the damage Yoruba can do to them? Yorubas don’t fight childish wars

If you think you can get Oduduwa on a platter of gold without confrontation then you're living in a fool's paradise. Fulanis will do everything in their power to stop you guys from cutting them off except you match force with force.

Waiting for a declaration to be made announcing Oduduwa republic without the sort of non state actors like ESN we have in the East taking up arms is a tomfoolery that will never happen.

Meanwhile, Fulanis doesn't seem to be afraid of you guys, their rhetoric and body language already shows that.

Although he is right about Nigeria's break-up, however it is wrong to say that Oduduwa will make way for Biafra. On the contrary, it is Biafra actualization that is making way for Oduduwa. Igbos are over 80% convinced about having their own country, Yorubas on their own are still divided with most of their Muslims still eager to remain with their Northern masters.

triple996:
no Igbo state

Neither did I see any yoruba state. They only mentioned Niger Delta states and No-mans-land

ichidodo:
This Asylum offer is a stunning victory of sorts to IPOB, a massive demoralizer to fulani supremacists and their stooges in the polity, you can imagine fighting IPOB only to learn that they have support from the west,who knows, CIA and M15 might be falling over themselves to offer intelligence and other technical support to IPOB.IPOB has been sought out to be the only active nonstate actor/bulwark against the spread of islamic bred terrorism in sub saharan africa, if you support IPOB you halt the expansionism of Fulani terrorism followed by Boko Haram terrorism up to the imported terrorism from Libya, Syria and Afghanistan.....

You made a very important and crucial point i.e. the fact that IPOB currently stands as the only non state actor standing against the threat of islamists that are trying to overrun West and Central Africa. The UK and other Western countries/world bodies are now probably realizing the need to encourage such non state actor in any way they can.

It's a massive diplomatic truimph by IPOB over Nigeria and could be the beginning of a paradigm shift that would lead to Nigeria's eventual break up.

dominique:
I doubt the authenticity of that document. How many extremist Hausa Muslim can read in English?

Really?! Did you just say this? Are you the same Dominic or someone hacked your account?

The document is alleged to have been written during a meeting by top Islamic clerics with Pantami as one of them. Yet you argue that Muslim extremists can't read English? Like what the hell are you talking about? Is Pantami not a Muslim extremist? If he can't read and write English very well would he be able to carry on as communications minister?

Even if you must defend this sort of crazy things happening in Nigeria, then you need to do so more intelligently! Read your post again and tell me if you made an ounce of sense!!

Sanchez01:
So here's a little backstory; 4 Northern States held a meeting in 2010 in a mosque in Bauchi which Pantami chaired. The states included representatives of Plateau State, Niger, Bauchi and Kaduna. The representatives were from the JNI (Jama'atu Nasril Islam, an umbrella group for the Nigerian Muslim community its headquarter is in the city of Kaduna). That's their definition on paper but these guys operate like a terror organization with sleeper cells across the states they have their presence in.

It was during this meeting that Pantami and co claimed that Christianity was fast growing in the North and they need to nip it in the bud. First, by killing the then governor of Kaduna who was a Christian. Two years later after the meeting, Late Governor Patrick Yakowa died in a strange helicopter crash. Today, el Rufai has fixed his gaze on Southern Kaduna, a dominantly Christian community that has been battered over and over again by suspected Fulani terror groups. No group has been arrested and not one person has been arrested. As a matter of fact, Southern Kaduna folks have repeatedly claimed soldiers and Herdsmen attack them at the same time.

The minute of that meeting is a scary one because its focus was how to kill for the sake of allah and whatever prophet they hold dear. I am currently summarizing the entire minute but it is a scary one so far. Like Nigeria is in trouble as it is.

PS: Just sat down to muse over so many things. Yakowa died by a helicopter crash. His copter burst into flames before plunging into a creek. Taraba State ex-governor also died of a helicopter crash. Although, 'investigations' indicted him for not being licensed. However, that was not his first time flying. And then Osinbajo, a Christian who has been a thorn in the flesh of the cabals, particularly since the time Buhari left for treatment in the UK, survived a helicopter crash in 2019, around the time he and Buhari were campaigning for a second term. Piece the puzzle.

After reading this eye-opening but massively scary piece, I'm now seeing Nigeria in a totally different light. What we have now is not a country per se but an Islamic caliphate being ruled by fanatical Muslims.

All these "accidents" are obviously well planned and executed terror attacks by these islamists to eliminate their percieved Christian enemies. Osinbajo should really thank his God for saving him from same terror attacks that eliminated Yakowa and others.

It is not mere coincidence that of all qualified people, Northerners included, it was an Islamic terrorist like Pantami that Buhari chosed to make communications minister?! This same Buhari equally has equally used similar persons with fatal mindset like Pantami to occupy all strategic positions in Nigeria.

I'm so afraid for Northern Christians and other minorities who still believe Nigeria is a country and aren't doing anything to save themselves. However, I can't thank God enough for making me Igbo and also raising people like Nnamdi Kanu to rise up and start a crusade that will ultimately free us from this bondage. Ojukwu started the struggle in 1967 but Nnamdi Kanu will complete it, in our lifetime!

The double standards some mods are perpetuating in nairaland while Seun turns a blind eye will ultimately ruin this site.

Imagine the vile words that person you quoted used on Igbos yet the mods didn't ban him, instead they chose to hide it. And this is not an isolated case because I have seen other similar instances on a daily basis.

The op criticized a campaign strategy of Tinubu and mind you he could be from any ethnic group yet a BMC urchin saw it as an opportunity to attack Igbos and wish them harm?!

Seun, Lalasticala, Mynd44 and Dominic, why would a moniker like tribalmall be allowed to be constituting such nuisance here yet his evil posts was hidden without a commensurate ban on him??

I had been wondering why such madness would be allowed to go on unhindered. You come to a state and decide to destroy their ecosystem without recognizing them?!

Etrusen:



yes

but the reality must be said

despite all this storm I really don't see Nigeria separating

that thread and others are just to prepare my edo ppo

but the truth must be said

You really must be blind Batimious if with everything happening before your korokoro eyes you still don't see Nigeria breaking up?

I can see your emotions of not wanting Nigeria to break is what is making you irrational in thought, but unfortunately emotions and reality are two different issues that don't relate.

letu:
Foreigners that made their investment in Nigeria did it based on a United Nigeria and they're gaining a lot from the so called United Nigeria anyway I just don't see what they will gain in a chaotic war divided Nigeria , for example countries like the same British, Saudi Arabia, France, UAE and United States of America etc.
While countries like Russia, China and Iran stand to gain in a divided Nigeria.

There is nothing foreign investors are gaining in Nigeria as one nation that they won't gain from us as a broken nation. Twitter went to Ghana to establish their office while still targeting our market, did they lose anything? With ECOWAS and now AFCTA that will make Africa one huge and accessible market to all, regardless of which country you site your office or factory.

Even the investments made by these countries you listed and their loans will only be renegotiated based on which regions got what, so how would they lose? Again whichever divide their investments fall in would be their operational country, so what changes?

MajesticKris:
Yeah!! That's what we want, What the UK did is tantamount to China going all out to encourage South Korea, without minding how North Korea will feel or Russia recognizing Taiwan and opening diplomatic relations with them without minding how their Chinese friends will feel.

This move alone should convince anyone who thinks critically that Nigeria is about to unravel. ..

So long UK has recognized BIAFRA!!

I DONT CARE!!

Bro, you took the part in bold from my post without recognizing me?

Rosskiiku:


What a load of naive drivel.

I'm done with you.

Actions speak louder than words.

Why not start the ball rolling and let us see this fantasy of yours achieved?

It is not about typing insolent, boastful epistles online.

Today, Nigeria is here and is going nowhere.

And there will be NO referendum.

Let us see you change that with the UK, France, the US and UN ganging up against Nigeria.

We are watching.

This was the same way Ojukwu insulted Nigeria as a ''poor, weak, 3rd world, bla bla bla'' before he lost 2 million people and fled to Ivory Coast when his wretched forces fell to vastly superior Nigerian firepower and training.

You are experts at TALKING. INSULTING.

That's it.

When the shiit hits the fan, you will start crying ''genocide''.

Air head dreamers and jobless fantasists.

Don't look for something useful to do with your lives.

You'll be here in 10 years time typing the same fantasies.

I can see you're mortally afraid of seeing Nigeria broken up, that reality scares the hell out of you and that's why you will rather hold on to your fantasy about Nigeria remaining as one than accept superior logic with facts on why it would break up sooner than later.

Well, I understand why you're terrified as a fulani man. Because no parasite feeding fat from its host would ever want the host to get rid of them

akanke79:


You really dont understand the British or Europeans at all.The colonialist will support both sides of the conflict so that whoever emerges the winner will give them concession.
They will arm and support both the Nigerian Govt and the seperatist groups at the same time.
They will not loose head or tail.It is called playing safe.

It is you that doesn't understand how the international community plays its politics. Times have changed and the world has become a lot more globalized than ever.

A total all out war in Nigeria will have devastating effects on the entire West Africa with boomerang effects getting to Europe by way of humanitarian crises.

The EU is already battling with influx of migrants coming from Africa, with a good number from Nigeria and rounding them up in Mediterranean Sea has become a tough and unending effort. Now imagine what will happen should Nigeria go up in flames. We are talking about a country of 200 million here. Do you know the thousands of people that would be risking the desert and sea to get into Europe?

There would be humanitarian crises of epic proportions and the EU won't have the moral rights to turn back or reject such asylum seekers from war torn Nigeria.

They understand this nightmare scenario and would rather avoid it by encouraging peaceful break-up.

letu:
British stand to gain more in a United Nigeria rather than a divide Nigeria, I'm not against the independence of the so called divided Nigeria I'm only stating the facts.

That was in the past!
The era when oil was everything is gone, tell me what else Britain stands to gain from a united Nigeria that it can't get from a broken Nigeria?

You think if Britain still believes so much in the unity of Nigeria like they did in the past, would they have given such massive psychological support to the separatists?

It is obvious that Britain has realized the futility in flogging a dead horse which Nigeria embodies and are now trying to make amends which may include helping to break up the country in the long run.

Britain is a very cunning country, they have probably realized that Nigeria is going to break up eventually and would rather remain pivotal so that the emerging countries would still appreciate its efforts.

Rosskiiku:


The UK giving IPOB terrorists asylum does not imply Nigeria will break up, any more than the UK granting Hong Kong activist Nathan Law asylum means China will break up.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/09/china-blasts-uk-asylum-hong-kong-nathan-law

You truly overestimate the power of the UK.

They are just one fcking HAS BEEN colonial power of yesteryear, with no influence over any sovereign nation of Nigeria's status.

If the NIGERIAN GOVT says no part of Nigeria shall secede, THAT'S THE END OF THAT, whatever Britain thinks.

If you want to go to war, make we fight, and we shall turn the East to a parking lot.
If you think Britiain will send her soldiers to fight and die for you, you have another think coming.

Mumu people. Dependent, colonised, and slave-minded.

Waiting on your slave master to save you.

Britain is likely just setting you guys up for another slaughter.

This was the same way France deceived Ojukwu, and pretended to support 'Biafra'. When push came to shove they refused to supply weapons to Biafra, and you were left to fight with cutlass and catapult and your primitive Ogbunigwe.

This time you will fight with sticks and stones and lose 10 milllon people instead of the usual 2 million.

I can feel your pains and disappointment which is very apparent. However, I will respond to your emotional outbursts as logical as possible.

1st paragraph, are you trying to compare Nigeria to China in global diplomatic circle or what? China is a very powerful and very influential country, now almost at par with the US. They have what it takes to fight any country to a standstill over Hong Kong and no nation or global organization can intimidate them, not even US or UK! On the contrary, Nigeria is a third world, poor, highly dependent and very weak country. A couple of sanctions and threats by global bodies like UN is enough to make its government to grovel and beg.

2nd and 3rd paragraph, UK may no longer be the powerful Great Britain it used to be but trying to write them off is just wishful thinking. UK alongside Germany and France remain Europe's most influential countries. UK's traditional alignment with US makes them even more influential. UK can easily reach out to America and make them see reasons why Nigeria should be hit with crippling sanctions and possible external invasion should they refuse to comply and accept a referendum, especially if there is widespread loss of lives.

4th and 5th paragraph. You really seem to overestimate Nigeria's strength or capabilities. FYI, Nigeria is as weak, dependent and fragile as any poor third world country. It seems you don't understand how such scenario plays out but I will enlighten you. Britain does not need to send boots on the ground. However, once Britain becomes all out to subdue such recalcitrant Nigerian government, they will start with massive media attacks, international diplomacy and severe undermining of Nigeria's interests which will culminate in crippling sanctions on our oil exports, embargo on financial transactions with Nigeria, embargo on arms supply to Nigeria, sanctions on the president, his family, ruling party and anyone that identifies with them. Do you think Nigeria can survive a month under such scenario??

6th and 7th paragraph. Lol, it is Nigeria that has always seen Britain as its Lord and personal saviour. It was Britain that protected and provided all your needs both diplomatically, arms wise and logistically. Isn't it funny that you now turn around to accuse others of what you've been doing perennially over the years?

Last paragraphs. You're obviously living in the past. No one is setting anyone up and neither did France set Ojukwu up. These are just figments of your own imagination. If you think there would be another territorial war like Biafran/Nigerian war then it shows you're not a critical thinker. The most Nigeria can fight now is a guerilla warfare and you won't have the opportunity to use airstrikes or blockade to kill millions like you're dreaming. On the contrary, you would be fighting IPOB armed wing in the jungles and highways with occasional run-ins in the cities. The moment you leave that to start bombing markets or schools will only hasten the involvement of the UN. Remember there are American and French bases in Niger, Cameroun and Chad which makes it very easy for them to subdue Nigeria very easily. Also remember that once Yoruba people realize that Biafran has become achievable, they would immediately begin their own fight to establish Oduduwa. Which means in essence, it becomes a war between Arewa that is now surrounded against Biafra, Oduduwa and UN. How on earth do you think you can sustain such war beyond a few months??

The earlier you wake up and smell the coffee, the earlier you will accept reality.

Not a few people often argue that Nigeria will not break up. They are so optimistic to the extent they always give reasons why it will not break up. However, contrary to such hardline stance, unfolding events have proven that Nigeria is apparently living in its last years as one nation. If anyone still had doubts before, the recent move by UK to recognize the separatists is enough to convince you where the pendulum is swinging.

In Africa, South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt are no doubt UK's most important former colonies. They will do everything diplomatically possible to maintain good relations with these countries.

UK is a very cunning country, they have seen that Nigeria is on the verge of breaking up and they decided to be proactive by recognizing the separatists. If you think UK didn't weigh things critically before embarking on this diplomatic attack on Nigeria, then you're not using your head.

UK has become completely fed up with Nigeria and having weighed their options to see that Nigeria is headed for the rocks, they decided to hit Nigerian government this deadly blow without minding how bad the government will feel.

What the UK did is tantamount to China going all out to encourage South Korea, without minding how North Korea will feel or Russia recognizing Taiwan and opening diplomatic relations with them without minding how their Chinese friends will feel.

This move alone should convince anyone who thinks critically that Nigeria is about to unravel. If the UK can make such bold move against the Nigerian government, then it is not farfetched that they may wake up tomorrow and rally the international community to call for a referendum on Nigeria.

They are still saying "may"? Why not invite him already or better still send him packing from Nigeria since you guys now want to challenge your chi to a wrestling match.

You all think this was in the past when they had to pamper you like spoilt kid so they could continue to drill our oil endlessly? No, times have changed and from the handwriting on the wall already, they are willing to cut you guys loose already.

The era of having the UK coming to your rescue all the time is over, you guys should get used to the new order
