From Femi Folaranmi, Yenagoa

Ijaw Youths have condemned the federal government (FG) over moves to re-arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The FG had few days ago hinted in court processes it filed that it wants to re-arrest Kanu over allegations that he had breached his bail conditions.

But IYC in a statement by Eric Omare said the FG is displaying double standards by treating other youth groups in the country engaged in agitations with kid gloves.

According to the group, the actions and body language of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration shows deliberate institutionalisation of double standards in national affairs.

It warned that the arrest of Kanu would heat up the polity with unimaginable consequences.

The advised that “It is the height of nepotism and sectionalism for the Buhari’s administration to treat the Arewa youth leaders who committed serious offence bothering on national security with kid gloves and being hosted to state dinners while leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kalu is threatened with arrest and several Niger Delta activist languishing in detention.

The way the Arewa youths were treated clearly justifies our earlier position that the quit notice was politically motivated and had the backing of the Hausa/Fulani political class. The IYC is convinced that if the Arewa youth leaders were to be members of IPOB or from the Niger Delta region, they would have been in DSS underground detention cells by now.

The IYC condemn this institutionalization of double standard in national affairs by the Buhari administration in the strongest terms. We wish to state clearly that with the way and manner the Arewa youth leaders were treated, the Buhari administration has lost the justification to threaten to arrest Mr. Nnamdi Kalu or any other agitator in the southern part of Nigeria. Nigerians ought to be treated equally irrespective of their place of origin or ethnic background. We also strongly advise against the planned revocation of the bail and arrest of the leaders of IPOB, Kanu

Yeah Nigeria is not a zoo even though our politicians are trying to make it look like one.
the constitution can be sacrificed on the altar of peace. I told an Hausa man in Kaduna in 2015 that militants will go back to bombing pipeline wen buhari threatened to wipe them off if they show up, the guy told me how powerful the army was and in less than one month Nigerian economy was almost brought to a halt.
If Kanu is arrested
1. Hatred for Hausas in East will escalate and Hausa's will be forced to leave the south south and east
2. Igbos will be forced to leave north west and north east
3. the country will be in chaos
4. millitants will resume hostilities
All these because government cannot ignore a man who has not killed or injured a single soul. constitution and legitimacy was enacted to ensure peace and should also be sacrificed to ensure peace.
International bodies are watching closely, even though Nigeria is a sovereign nation but France can withdraw total, UK can withdraw SPDC USA can withdraw chevron and before u know it Nigeria will be broken all because of one man u shud have ignored

I remember saying this and it will happen

You can't arrest Kanu on the orders of shettima... That is bull shii

Buhari as usual will do the unthinkable despite all warnings in his quest to finally plunge this country into anarchy for military to take over, all to prevent yoruba from taking over.

Forget it. Nigerian democracy is a government of the North, by the North and for the North. Double standard is given a new definition here.

Come in we 'South South' and we 'Niger Delta'

Have you noticed they don't say " we SS or Niger Delta" any more? LOL...Afonjas have seen the reality on the ground.

If other tribes are as bold as Igbo and Ijaw and to some extent Akwa Ibom, Nigeria would not be taken for a ride by a section of the country. But Afonjas will be hiding and praying to their Ogun god and hoping for some regions to go down for them to expand and dominate beyond skull mining.

Very correct observation. Those arewa youths declaration is more treasonable than anything Kanu and IPOB has done so far.
They must be made to face the music unless this government cares less about a united, peaceful country.

Kanu is awakening the consciousness of young people to the dysfunctional state called Nigeria. He has called out certain anomalies is the equitable distribution of resources since independence. That's why he's hated. He wants to end the culture of privileges being enjoyed by the Fulani.

Buhari is a sectional leader.


His government will go down in history as one that divided Nigeria along ethnic lines.


Fulani herdsmen
Arewa Youth
Boko Haram (attack is attack on the north)

honestly, this thread deserves the front page.

Break up is inevitable.

Everything you talk about we yorubas na true.

I'm more shocked that people are shocked by Buhari reaction.

Shebi na today una learn that niggeria is a biased country? Na today?

When push comes to shove... Igbos and there distant cousins will band together to fight there common enemies...

I don't think the we ss and we Niger delta is working again.

Let's wait for this particular hateful jealous pipo .... they have left ogom sho .... they will soon arrive here any moment.

After you guys wee say you're not in support of Biafra, corrupt people, Buhari will deal with you guys

d next news u will hear is......ijaw youth condemn Nnamdi KANU, reject Biafra, support one Nigeria and so on......who is deceiving who......Biafra is sure....afonjas can go and kill themselves and run away

Royal son, recognised by many nations.

Nnamdi Kanu is a gift from God.

Warn who

Nigeria of today is not Nigeria of yesteryears. The country must be restructured asap.

Everybody is warning, but Mr vegetable won't listen.

I pity him.

Nigeria is now sitting on a keg of gun powder.
Only divine intervention can help us out.
She is teetering on the path of abyss. Something needs to be done.

We have never been this divided. This is worrisome to say the least.
