Published June 8, 2017 Share Tweet Share National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, on Wednesday, told Igbo living in the North to prepare to defend themselves against possible attack by northerners. Addressing journalists after a meeting in Enugu, National President of the OYC, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the ultimatum issued to Igbo by the northern groups was a call to arms, and should be treated as such by security agencies. “Igbo resident in the North should get ready to defend themselves in the event of any provocation and attack from the Arewa youths,” Isiguzoro said. He noted that the development could lead to another civil war in the country. READ: Groups give Ndigbo three months to leave North, Ohanaeze kicks The Ohanaeze youth leader said, “They are at it again and this is a sad reminder of the civil war. This is how it started as a joke and before we knew it, a coordinated and simultaneous attack was launched against the Igbo in the North. “This is a sad development considering the efforts being made to unite this country. This is a sad commentary considering the sacrifices Igbos have made in this country. “We, however, wish to state unequivocally that the Igbo are not cowards. We are not afraid of Alhaji Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, Yerima Shettima and their cohorts. “Ndigbo want to make it categorically clear that we are ready for them. We cannot be intimidated by their ranting.” Also, the Eric Omare-led faction of the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide described the threat by northern youths as baseless and senseless. Omara, in a statement on Wednesday, contended that there was absolutely nothing wrong in the Igbo agitation for self-determination. The factional IYC President added, ‘’Therefore, the Igbo agitation for Biafra cannot justify the demand to move out of northern Nigeria. ‘’We believe there are criminally-minded persons who want to hide under the umbrella of speaking for the North to loot property belonging to Igbos in the North that are making the demand. ‘’We call on security agencies to as a matter of urgency move against the brains behind the ultimatum to Igbos in the North. But a group of Nigerians, under the auspices of the South-East/South-South Network, asked security agencies to immediately arrest the leaders of the northern groups, who issued the ultimatum to the Igbo on Tuesday. In an electronic mail sent to one of our correspondents by the leader of the SESSNet, Mr. Daniel Elombah, who said the group was made up of professionals, students and activists from the South-East and South-South, called on security agencies to arrest “these jobless youths and their sponsors.” It added, “We will not take excuse from security agencies if anything happens to our people in the North. Those youths should be treated like criminals by security agencies and we are watching to see what the DSS will do on this matter. If any Igbo is killed in the North, the leadership of the groups should face the consequences.” In its own reaction, the Pan Niger Delta Forum, an umbrella body for Niger Delta leaders, condemned in strong terms the ultimatum of the Arewa youth groups. READ ALSO: FG, northern govs, Afenifere, ACF, others condemn threat It noted that the “quit notice” was highly treasonable and portended great threat to the nation’s unity. PANDEF which is under the leadership of Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark, said the group considered the statement by the Arewa youths as the most dangerous statement ever made by any group to the unity and existence of Nigeria since the end of the Civil War. In a statement on behalf of the group by a member of the Central Working Committee, Dr. Alfred Mulade, PANDEF called on northern state governments, elders, particularly the Arewa Consultative Forum to take concrete steps to reassure the safety of Igbo in the region. A coalition of Northern groups, including the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, had on Tuesday, given all Igbo resident in the 19 states of the North a three-month ultimatum to quit or be forced out after the expiration of the October 1, 2017, deadline. http://punchng.com/defend-yourselves-ohanaeze-youth-wing-tells-igbo-in-north/ 1 Like |

[b]The Igbos need to learn how to respect others, particularly their hosts. Remembered the time I was serving in Sokoto, there was this barber Chidi whom we corp members often charge and barb at his saloon, He and his brothers were born and bred in Sokoto, he has never been to his home state, Abia, even his uncle died in Sokoto (while I was there) I asked him why he did not want to settle in the east, he said "cost of living high there and opportunities no plenty like Sokoto" Yet every evening we charged our devices at his place, he, his brothers and the other Igbo corp members often tagged the Hausas as ANIMALS, Even in the lodge, they (IGBO corp members) often make mockery of the Hausa corp members and tagged we the Yorubas as Cowards, In the lodge, Igbos were always reluctant to pay utility bills and some maintenance fees yet we collected the same N19,800 and 4k state allowance, I don't just just know why they derive pleasure in insulting others who host them My service year revealed the personality and thinking of an AVERAGE IGBO MAN to me. I just want them to leave this country and have their Biafra. We Yorubas will be waching in HD as they engage in boundary disputes with the SS & North.[/b] 4 Likes |

Every igbo person living in the north should return home. The earlier, the better! Relocation back home would be very difficult to undertake, especially when you have children, but we should go ahead and do it anyway. I did it successfully. So you too can do it. 1 Like |

They should think home and invest home At a time no time It's no time for self defense in another mans land.... It's time to relocate the business and put pressure on the FG to send all federal workers back to their regions ..... This would prevent stories that touch |

As long as there are Fulanis in the SE and SS doing business and enjoying the hospitality of our people As long as Nigeria continues to feed fat from the resources of these zones while asking the people to leave Igbo MEN should stay back and fight for their properties. Send the women and children to the SE & SS for their safety. However, in the long run, they should plan on liquidating their assets in these hell holes and leave the place. |

sarrki:His statement "As long as Nigeria continues to feed fat from the resources of these zones " is invalid if he does not say SS. An idiot on TVC this morning said only 3 states can take care of themselves without federal allocation. 1. Lagos 2. Ogun 3. Anambra  According to the "in the closet" ethnic bigot. Anambra exported $5million dollars worth of Egwu in 2016. Nobody will believe it but the South-East is suffering from massive brain drain. All intelligent life form from therein are struggling or have become british, american, indian, malaysian, or Iraqi citizens. 1 Like |
