If the federal government is not treating your tribe very well, then you are free to secced no body is stopping your tribe. Same way If the federal government is not treating igbos well, igbos are free to secced.

What part of mind your business don't you understand? Who are u to advice the Igbos? Focus on matters concerning your tribe and leave the Igbos to sort their own way. The day you stop poking nose into Igbo matter and focus more on your tribe, the better for everybody

As an acclaim realist , you ought to know that everyone has right to freedom of expression. If I see buhari as a terrorist; that's my cup of tea, if you see buhari as a messiah; that's your cup of tea. Respect my view, and I will respect yours. You can't force me to like buhari, same way I can't force you to dislike buhari. Mr. Realist! We can't all love buhari. Try to be more realistic

This is the raw truth some people do not want to hear.

You cannot flog a child and still force the child not to cry.
That baby in that pregnant woman's belly must be delivered when the time is due, no matter how hard you try you cannot hold it back.

They think they are punishing the south east by marginalising them, but in reality they're serving as a catalyst that'll cause the reaction that will bring about the birth of the new nation called Biafra.

If God has sanctioned it then it must come to pass.

Alhaji Shettima Yerima, an activist and president of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) in this interview, blows hot about the way the people of the South-eastern part of Nigeria have been treated by the government, and why he thinks the agitation for Biafra is justified even though it is not the best optionHow did this agitation come this far?

Well, it’s been a very long journey and for people like us, it is not surprising. The agitation for Biafra is not news to us because it has been there over time especially since 1966 with what gave birth to the overthrow of the Aguiyi Ironsi government after the killing of some top leaders. The agitation has been there and that was what led to civil war in 1967 when Odimegwu Ojukwu came on board against the state and the reconciliation in the 1970s. Ever since, there had always been one agitation of the other. But the truth of the matter is that nobody is happy about the situation and all of us felt that it would not augur and it is not even in the best interest of this country for any part to secede now. This is a critical and very challenging time. And it is high time we began looking at the issue critically.

We are only pretending that Nigeria is a nation, it has never been a nation. We just pray that it would become a nation. There are very fundamental issues that need to be addressed by any government in place and, to do that we must apply the principles of equity, justice and fairness to all. The moment we begin to say this group of people must be dealt with decisively because of their mindset or thinking that they are being marginalised, then there is a problemThe government must be seen to be doing justice and discussing issues the way they are. If we continue to pretend that things are normal and people are saying they are not normal and are agitating, one day it might not be funny. In as much as we pretend that things are well, you can see this call for Biafra is getting more popular internationally.

I pray and I pray the leaders begin to see reasons to look at the issues critically. If they feel they are being marginalised and you underestimate and threaten them by arresting them and incarcerating them, just know that the more you do that, the more they get international and local sympathy. At the end of the day, you would be marvelled at what that amounts to. It could metamorphose into something beyond your expectation. Detention and arrests are not the answers to the issue. Issues must be brought forward for discussion. We must disagree to agree so that we can form a nation. We are not yet a nation. Under international laws which Nigeria is signatory to, the right to see for nationhood is guaranteed.

Thus, if people decide that they don’t want to be part of your project, there is nothing you can do about it. Whatever you do is just to buy time. So why don’t you look at the issues the way they are and address them once and for all? This is what I think and it is absolutely my opinion.
SO there are people who think and act like me.
Because I am white in my reasoning . . including Sule lamido

This sudden show of empathy to the SE Igbos by the north is becoming really suspicious.
Dude! don't let your hatred for other tribe(s) blindfold your faculty of thinking: everybody has different personality and therefore cannot be thinking in the same way.

Get your fact right.

Why are the northerners showing concern now that BIAFRA is almost at handhuh??. It's too late to cry because the BIAFRA u maltreats today, You shall see them no more talk more of maltreating them. Even if we will all die in Biafra, its better to be free that to remain under slavery till "thy kingdom come"
