Plan to make Osinbajo president will fail - A coalition of Arewa Youths said

"Having given power to the Yoruba on a platter of gold in 1999 as a way of compensating them for the June 12 saga, it is quite worrisome and unfortunate that they have lived up to their legendary reputation of backstabbing and betrayal by supporting the divisive calls for restructuring or dismemberment of the nation against the will and desire of the north," the statement said. "We gave the late Chief MKO Abiola the mandate in 1993 but shortly after that, as it is with the Yoruba as a culture, they immediately started circling around Abiola plotting on how to emasculate the north and strip us of every access we had to the politics and economy of this nation. “They had also raised a secret army of their elites to carry out these sinister plans against the north if Abiola eventually became president. It was this army that was unleashed on the nation in the guise of NADECO during the June 12 impasse.

May we remind the Yoruba that without the willingness and magnanimity of the north, there was no way Abiola could have purportedly won that election, and that all the Yoruba have now as assets in the south west, especially Lagos, were given to them by our leaders out of our own usual magnanimity. However, time and time again, the Yoruba have always turned their back on us whenever their support is needed.

Thus Nigerians live in Ghana, America, the United Kingdom and elsewhere even without being citizens. Likewise, British citizens living in other parts of the EU have not left because of ‘Brexit’. “The ongoing developments in the country have once again shown why Nigeria remains the dreg of humanity and a failed state where basic indices of civilization and rule of law are absent.”

Rule of law is indeed absent in this fake contraption called Nigeria. They don't even know what human rights are. Zoo! angry

Britain and the EU are negotiation on for their citizens. Who gets a better deals depends on who needs it least !

What are the benefits of having Biafrans in Nigeria ? We know there wont be any Nigerians in Biafra - this is a fact .

A country has the right to defend its territory from enemies within and without. I believe it's called sovereignty and countries go to war to defend it.
Multiple countries have done it and will continue to do it.

Nothing is new.

Those elders/governors are akin to the mixed multitude who campaigned against Moses of old and sought to go back to Egypt where they enjoyed three square fat meal.

The abokis in their bid to hurt the Igbo's promoted their exit even faster. Indeed "all turns out for the good of those that love God". Who ever thought what was planned for the downfall of the Igbo's would promote them?
The world has heard the cry of the Igbo's their voice has reached the high heavens! Their call for a separate nation has forced everyone to think deep about this expired Union and all can see that it was and would never work!
Let the FG conduct a referendum and let everyone decide their faith! Enough is enough

“... The right to self-determination is a fundamental; integral to the UN since it was founded in 1945. In recognition of this fact, we hope Arewa youths will now have the humility to apologise for the illegal war waged against Biafra, which was abinitio, a repudiation of international laws on self-determination they now acknowledge ...”

Injustice cannot last forever. Something historic is coming.

supporter of evil read this. Useless blind man......The European Union (EU) Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr Michel Arrion says EU will not increase its financial assistance to Nigeria.

Arrion made this known in Abuja while delivering a Distinguished Lecture organised by the IBB Golf Club, with the theme “40 years of European union in Nigeria: Lessons learned and the way forward”.


The ambassador who said that EU was not promising further assistance to Nigeria however said that Nigeria remains EU key partner in view of the role it plays in global affairs.

The envoy also stressed that the Union would scale up its efforts towards the country’s institutional, political and economic development for a more prosperous future.

He said that Nigeria could not be said to be poor, as it is has enough resources to meet its developmental needs.

While expressing concern that on the economic level of the country Arrion called for a more equitable distribution of the nation’s wealth to ensure growth and stability and unleash its enormous economic potentials.


Arrion explained that the combine aides to the country were about ten per cent of the country’s annual budget.

According to him, the Official Development Assistance (ODA) flow in Nigeria is about 2.5 billion dollars yearly, which correspond roughly to about 10 per cent of the federal budget (N7,3trillion or 24 billion dollars).

This, he said has raised the question of should EU continue to give aide to Nigeria.?

Arrion, however said the regional block would scale up its efforts towards the country’s institutional, political and economic development for a more prosperous future.

“We are not offering more financial support, we are proposing more political and policy dialogue, technical assistance, capacity building, training, transfer of technology.

We also proposing more advocacies for more private investments and other innovative sources of funding,” the EU envoy said.

The envoy therefore called for improving in tax collection to finance the development of the country.


According to him Nigeria must find alternative funding to ODA including improved tax collection which must be improved at least five times more and also spend better.
Quoting Price Water Cooper (PwC 2016), he said: “Nigeria collects about N5.5 trillion or 18 billion dollars per year.

“About 10 million people (10 per cent of adult population) are registered for personal income tax (half of them in Lagos).

“The rate of VAT compliance by registered entities is about 12 per cent. The rate is lower for corporate income tax nine per cent.”

He also said Nigeria must attract more foreign investment five times more, to reach the level of Angola or Vietnam for instance and put in place more and better Public Private Partnerships.

Arrion said the evolution of vibrant relationship of equal partners between Nigeria and the EU was founded on shares values and aspirations and mutual trust.

According to him EU in its 40 years of engagement with Nigeria has identified development priorities, funded projects to stimulate the Nigeria’s economy, reduce hunger and disease.


He said that the union had also helped to enhance institutional capacities, strengthen governance and fight insecurity in Nigeria.

Now that we love ourselves like that, how is it your business? Hope you can join the call for referendum so that we will go our way and continue to betray ourselves if that's what you think of us.

Let us go so that we will stop disturbing you Nigerians and manage ourselves the way we can. If it is by betrayal, we will enjoy it alone if it in love and patrotism, we will see and enjoy it.

Nonsense, they should concentrate on organising a referendum for themselves since they are the ones truly fighting to exit the country.
As for citizens right to property and residency in other countries; well they are being very naive and quite stupid; perhaps they have forgotten some recent examples such as Ghana must go in the 80s and vice versa, expulsion of Indians by Uganda under Idi Amin, Nigerians being expelled by other African countries e.g Congo, Sierra Leone etc.
As for properties, again there several options that could be opened to a govt against properties owned by foreign nationals; ranging from punitive taxation to outright nationalisation.
They think they can sit in the diaspora and dictate to a government - lol even if there are laws protecting them, lets see who can enforce them against a determined govt.

From the examples you sited, did Ghanaians left with their belongings? Like moveable properties? If yes, that means they have right over their properties. Lazy bone, better go and work and stop looking for property to covert .
