Northern House Of Assembly
Proceedings, February-March
1964


Mallam Muhammadu Mustapha
Mande Gyan:
“On the allocation of plots to Ibos or
allocation of stalls, I would like to
advise the Minister that these people
know how to make money, and we do
not know the way and manner of
getting about this business.
We do not want Ibos to be allocated
with plots. I do not want them to be
given plots…”

Mallam Bashari Umaru:
“I would like (you), as a Minister of
Land and Survey, to revoke forthwith
all Certificates of Occupancy from the
hands of the Ibos resident in the
Region…” (Applause)

Mr. A. A. Agogede:
“I’m very glad that we are in a
Moslem country, and the government
of Northern Nigeria allowed some
few Christians in the region to enjoy
themselves according to the belief of
their religion, but building of hotels
should be taken away from the Igbos,
and even if we find some Christians
who are interested in building hotels
and do not have money to do so, the
government should aid them, instead
of allowing Ibos to continue with
their hotels.”

Dr. Iya Abubakar (Special Member,
Lecturer, Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria):
“I am one of the strong believers in
Nigerian unity, and I have hoped for
our having a united Nigeria, but
certainly if the present state of affairs
continues, I hope the government will
investigate first the desirability and
secondly the possibility of extending
Northernisation policy to the petty
traders.” (Applause)

Mallam Mukhtar Bello:
“I would like to say something very
important, that the Minister should
take my appeal to the Federal
Government about the Igbos in the
post office. I wish the numbers of
these Igbos be reduced….
There are too many of them in the
North. They are like sardines and
I think they are just too dangerous to
the Region.”

Mallam Ibrahim Musa:
“Mr. Chairman, Sir. Well first and
foremost, what I have to say before
this Hon. House is that we should
send a delegation to meet our Hon.
Premier to move a motion in this
very Budget Session that all the Ibos
working in the Civil Service of
Northern Nigeria, including the
native authorities, whether they are
contractors or not, should be
repatriated at once…”


Mallam Bashari Umaru:
“There should be no contracts either
from the government, native
authorities, or private enterprises
given to Ibo contractors (Government
Bench: Good talk and shouts of “Fire
the Southerners”).
Again, Mr. Chairman, the foreign
firms too should be given time limit
to replace all Ibo in their firms by
some other people.”

The Premier (Alhaji the Hon. Sir
Ahmadu Bello, K.B.E., Sardauna of
Sokoto):
“It is my most earnest desire that
every post in the region, however
small it is, be filled by a
Northerner.” (Applause)

Alhaji Usman Liman:
“What brought the Ibos into this
region? They were here since the
colonial days. Had it not been for the
colonial rule, there would hardly
have been any Ibo in this region.
Now that there is no colonial rule,
the Ibos should go back to their
region. There should be no hesitation
about the matter.
Mr. Chairman, North is for
Northerners, East for Easterners,
West for Westerners, and the
Federation is for us all.” (Applause)

I had to refresh the mind of naive Igbos( resident in the North), who had been brainwashed into thinking that the current quit notice and threat of confiscation of their investments and positions in the North is caused by by IPOB or Igbo demand for self determination. Of course, it's only a secondary cause, the primary cause is Organic, and as we can see from history, the more things change, the more they remain the same. A people who had refused to learn from their history would continue to repeat past mistakes.

Make long term plan to divest from the North, the quit noticed was hatched 53 years ago, don't fall a victim.

How I wish the West can go on same course so we can boot these flat-heads away!

Revoke all CofO and licenses and throw them to the land locked erosion ridden region where they belong. And same time shut down markets where they dominate and privatize it where foreigners will have no right to buy into.

Biafrans dont know whats coming for them and I pray they never know till after they have there Biafra.

If you take weed join this one wen dey do you so e go bad well well.

These ipob miscreants and lies are like bread and butter! Ask him to provide a valid source or a link to a video or radio broadcast or recording of this nonsense now and he would only call you _aboki or afonja that does not want to let him have biacrap!

History should be compulsory in our schools.

sanandreas:

Do you mean history or the lies of IPOB ?

The fear of aboki is the beginning of wisdom....ojukwu

OAFMods:




Do you mean history or the lies of IPOB ?

What history of Igbos? The young generation is learning our history online. Igbos fighting west and North playing divide and rule tactics.

Whatever. Be certain that no matter the hate, soon you'll have your region to yourself. The unification of Igboland is inevitable, and you'
ll also be booted from Igboland. When I say Igboland, you should know the meaning. Black devils.
