The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) says the Igbo should be allowed to secede from Nigeria if that is what the south-east wants. The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) are campaigning for the secession of the south-east from Nigeria. IPOB was formed in 2012 by Nnamdi Kanu, while MASSOB was founded in 1999 by Ralph Uwazuruike. Addressing journalists after a closed-door meeting held in Abuja on Monday, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spokesman of the forum, said the agitation by the Igbo for secession has become widespread, adding that the leaders in the state appear to support the decision. Baba-Ahmed advised that standing in the way of the agitators will only worsen the insecurity in the country. “This nation has had to fight a terrible war to preserve the country. The north had paid its dues in that war, as indeed it did in many ways throughout the history of the country. Under our current circumstances, no Nigerian should welcome another war to keep the country together,” he said. “The forum has arrived at the difficult conclusion that if support for secession among the Igbo is as widespread as it is being made to look, and Igbo leadership appears to be in support of it, then the country should be advised not to stand in its way. https://www.thecable.ng/northern-elders-let-igbo-secede-if-its-their-wish-we-cant-afford-another-war/amp/ |

Northern people always inflating their population during sensors. We Yoruba want to go too oh not only Igbos. The Yoruba Muslim can move to the Northern part of the country so that the Christians in the North can come down like India and Pakistan. |

Northern elders have been saying this since. They are tired . That is why Buhari and his gang Nd past administrations spent billions of USD looking for non existent oil in the north and even lying they found commercial quantity in Bauchi. But the wahala of east is too much oil or no oil let them go before they produce president over their head |

Old news posted by those who cannot sleep well without talking about Igbos. Just so y’all know, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed is no longer the spokesman of Northern Elders Forum since he was appointed by Kashim Shettima as his SA. So, only brainless f00ls will masturbate on this since it’s against the region they love to hate. Ndi ala |

Wondering why this op like to recycle stale things. We have advised the Igbo's who are clamouring for secession on easy steps to take to achieve the Biafra without lifting fingers. 1. Tell all the 5 South East governors to stop receiving monthly Oyel money as South East is viable enough to sustain herself 2. Tell all the political appointees from Igbo extraction under this government to resign, they have better opportunity in Biafra. 3. Tell your people to start relocating back home, apart from no place at home, they would soon become aliens in Nigeria after achieving Biafra. Just those 3 steps should be enough to earn you people your Biafra |

helinues:We want Biafra, we want Biafra, Yet dem full everywhere like sand. Go to Portharcourt, Abuja, Ibadan and even Kano dem almost plenty pass indigenes in some towns. Only few Igbos actually want Biafra. What they secretly desire is domination and power. You negotiate power. It's not gotten by bullying others. Also if you truly want to secede, you get your legislators to initiate the process and also negotiate with other members. It will work out trust me. |

They should go ahead with their secession. The northerners are not interested in having another war with the secessionists |
