The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, OYC, has threatened fire over the ultimatum issued by what it called a faceless coalition of Northern Youths over the controversial Ruga settlement.

The youths had given the Federal Government 30 days to implement Ruga across the 36 States and the FCT.

But reacting, the OYC, through its President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said their Northern counterparts were taking more than required.

He said “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide had studied diligently and weighed the implications of the recent threat and 30-day ultimatum from a certain Northern group named “Coalition of Northern groups” over the suspension of Ruga settlement by the Presidency.

“We would have ignored them but for the unnecessary tension in the Southern Nigeria, especially Igbos emanating from the threat of this Northern group.

“We are fully aware that this recent threat is targeted only on the lives and properties of peaceful Nigerians of Igbo extraction doing businesses in 19 Northern States, and this is a declaration of war against the Igbos.”

He said though the Igbo youths would not fail to explore all peaceful avenues for the protection of lives and properties of Igbos living in the 19 Northern States, “our peaceful approach should not be understood as weakness as there are other options open to us over the recent threat.”

Isiguzoro, however, lauded President Muhammadu Buhari “for the suspension of the Ruga settlement program and the careful approach of the National Economic Council under Vice President Yemi Osibanjo and the Sub Committee led by Governor Dave Umahi.

“We urge the Coalition of Northern groups to direct Northern Governors to opt for the second option of ranching through this peaceful National livestock Transformation Programme rather than Ruga settlement, which was clearly rejected by the Southern Nigeria, especially the South East /South-South Governors and the people.

“OYC wishes to remind the leadership of the coalition of Northern groups of the grave implications of this recent threat. In the interest of national peace and security, they should withdraw the 30-day ultimatum, immediately.

Another showdown.
Problems here and there. It is either you wake up in the morning provoked in your house by your kids or your wife, GLO network disappear on your phone, go to work and your boss shout at you on minor things that should be neglected, travel with the fear of being kidnapped, sit on your couch to watch TV an PHCN interrupt power supply, surf thru nairaland and Fulani headlines make you more worried...

Omoh! no joy for this country again

Na only when I dey chill with friends inside bar tension dey reduce.

Where there is no happiness try to create it for your self.

life is too shot.

What makes OYC different from that Hausa group ?

If I want to be fair and go by the recommendations of those that antagonised my humble and honourable self when I was in support of RUGA,

I will clearly state that the Ultimatum is well deserved. Many quoted me on Nairaland saying "RUGA should be done up North ONLY". Fine! And now they are also telling you to go trade in your region. Anybody that needs your product would come and buy in your region.

I think its fair with all honesty. If a Fulani or Hausa man is limited to trade in certain parts of the country, then I think other tribes should be limited to trading in there own region too.

I feel does that came for head when I was supporting RUGA can now find a better resolution to the impending doom that stares at us at present.


The English people call it "Tit for Tat"
Warri people call it "Do me, I do you"
Men call it "An eye for an eye"

na so e take dey start I small war

empty threats these two groups are noise makers n should be regarded as such.cp make their name are on my list of noise makers

Are you for real ? I didn't see you condemn than Fulani group anywhere and now you are shamelessly here to condemn Ohaneze youths

alexvatt:
These Igbo people again, can't they trade in their own region? Must they live everywhere in the world? What are they still doing in the North?

chai dis one is pained by some ppl success. I guess dis post gave u a hot seat

stefanbanach:
Fine. They'll come back, a sacrifice that must be made to achieve our goal of secession... Your aboki brothers and beggars should start arranging their mats and kaya... We will chase all of them back. Afterall, they contribute nothing here. They don't have good jobs, they don't pay taxes. They are just Parasitic as usual.

Anything that'll lead to the breakup of this banana Republic is fine by us.

I like the way you spoke. You fair.

Let everybody go back to his region.

Equality for all.

Bro I believe the Fulani jihad history is the reason behind southern and some middle-belt states are rejecting the RUGA settlement. Make your research and you will deduce that what would happen in the future is the fear of that would start requesting to becoming indigenous pple of the state if settled thru RUGA system.

Mind you almost all tribes that are settled today migrated from somewhere. If the Fulani herdsmen were known for not having clashes with farmers and being kidnappers, I bet you many states would have accepted the RUGA settlement.

Even the typical hausa men are afraid of Fulani because they were conquered by Usman Danfodio.

The rejection of RUGA settlement is the beginning of wisdom.

Like play like play...naija don cast....

Buhari naa real dullard.. .see as he scatter naija wey Jonathan give am..

Naija wey been the get hope ...wey citizens don already the see future.. every body the plot..easy and averagely okay....even Boko loud ..but security averagely contain..

We take back our resources too. You cannot be in the north and be enjoying proceeds from resources in the south. You northerners must stop being Parasites.

Nice composition!

This is 2019 and a lot of things have changed. I told someone on this forum that nothing is too expensive for peace to reign and in the interest of National security. They let all hell lose "WITHOUT" proffering a fair and more logical resolution to counter RUGA. Insults and tantrums they could only offer.

So as of date, I 100% buy the ultimatum the Northerners are dishing, if am to be fair and real. I will play same card too in business or any aspect of life.


I go to the North and buy beef, And they come to the South and buy motor parts. That applies to every other commodity. #SIMPLE


That was what was proposed, and now they have it. Am just pained some groups from the South are already shouting foul play.

Hello! You got what you asked for.

Am not in anyway a Northern spokes person. Am just being fair here. If you can marginalise a trade down south here, I think the Northerners also should be able to marginalise a trade up North.

then let's simply divide. So as to save ourselves the trouble so that your region would be left in peace?

Dont Mind That Fellow. He Should Point Out Areas Of Land Fg Provided For Other Tribes Who Are Doing Their Business In The North. If Fulani Want, Let Them Buy Land To Ranch Their Cattle In The South, We Dont Have Problem Wit It. Cattle Rearing Is Private B

Its a welcomed Idea, but the political elites who are opportune to be in the fore-front to move motion, love Nigeria united

If due process is followed, Its a welcomed idea.

Don't u know we stand the risk of loosing our lands,love ones and everything that is ours by allowing this Ruga initiative to stand down south
,the initiative of ruga can't be trusted because of fg's motives

If the motives of the FG cant be trusted, cant state governors counter it with favourable terms and conditions?

I hope you read my points during RUGA debates on Nairaland. Ths issue was just politicised. Hate and tribal bigotry blocked many thinking faculties. But like the adage will say, "If you say peace is too expensive, then be ready to buy war".

Matter was never approached logically and their was never a will or intent to even weigh the option by Southern governors. Not even for the sake of National Security and peace.

And the oil money generated from the South that the north is living off should be used to build the South-South ONLY! Can we suggest that too?

If you chase southerners away from your land but you want to keep enjoying oil proceeds from our lands. The hypocrisy is staring at you in the eye.

If approached with due process, why not.

The National Livestock Transfromation Program under the Office of the VP is one that had the buy-in of all state governors, had components for re-settlement of IDPs affected by the herdmen attacks and ranching under the supervision of interested state governments with the support of the FG. That had been approved and already in the pipeline and then out of the blues, the ruga crap almost ecliped the NLTP with focus only on settlements/grazing areas for cattle herders and with the full funding of the FG. This was a sudden departure from what the state governments had signed up to and that is why there were loud and firm refusals with states like Benue and Taraba actively rejecting the ruga b.s. There was an active plan to make it all about FG and fulani to the exclusion of others previously captured so people were awake and made their resistance very clear to the alien concept.

You have just been going on and on forgetting the finer details that have almost been obfuscated. Now the ruga nonsens was suspended and some group decides to threaten the FG and all Southerners that if ruga suspension is not reversed in 30 days and implemented in all states of the country ie no longer the so called option of voluntary subscription by interested states, they would embark on yet undisclosed line of action.

Tell me, how does this sound like the right thing to stand in support of? I wonder how you reason and perceive things truly.

How many Southern states bought it? Cos you are sounding like Southern states ever welcomed anything about this issue. They rejected every option. History never forgets. I remember the "OUR LAND" slogan vivdly. And the "THEY SHOULD GO UP NORTH AND DO RANCHING? THEY HAVE ENOUGH LAND IN SAMBISA FOREST"

Am just being fair here. Everybody region has a right to displace people of their choice.


Asking why I support it, Common, am an analyst, when RUGA was shot down, I saw it coming as i was definitely bound it would play. So if people are not logical to come to the table for talks, dont you know conflicts will be bound.

Thats what happens in a society where tribal, political and religious bigotry have eaten ALL of their brains. What else do you expect! Peace?
