Why Are My Soldiers Leaving, It Smells Like 66 Not 67 by AlexBells(m): 10:02pm On Jan 22, 2021
As Tension between the Fulanis and the Yorubas keeps getting to dangerous rhetorics as each side continues with a steady show of force it worries us, where does my people stand, a spate of Igbos leaving the army, to the best of my knowledge it is unusual. But I keep in touch with some of our people in the Nigerian Military.

All I can say is Igbo Soldiers, I commend and will respect whatever decision you will take as far as the rising tension is concerned but please any Igbo that has a relative in the army please remind them about 1966, it is better to resign honourably, my people, my Igbo people across Nigeria let's pray for peace.

I want to make this declaration as the premier of the very young Igbo province of Nigeria with intelligence advice from the Igbo province intelligence agency coupled with intelligence signals from our men in the Military that Igboland must maintain a non allied stance in the face of any rising tension. Igboland is however available to lead negotiations between both parties.

As we maintain our non Alliance we advise our people to remain calm, stay out of trouble as we continue monitoring the situation, and should both side not seek diplomacy and dialogue, we may consider evacuating our people from both side most especially the vulnerable like elders, women and children.

In the face of the rising tensions, Igboland preach peace, we pray for peace, we beg for dialogue...

On Behalf of Igbo Province Intelligence agency, With respect to our service men serving Nigeria and other nations, with love of all of us in Igboland, we wish to maintain a non allied stance.

Premier Of Igbo Province of Nigeria (Premier Ogechukwu)

I think Non Alliance is the best option for Igbos, as funny as it may all seem, the tension is real

With what I saw the crowd with Sunday Idagho, the situation is really tensing up, that Guy is not like Grabdson, Igbos, could be a very huge deciding factors, or maybe Igbos and Hausa but we know who the Hausas might go with, please let's give peace a chance.

Why are you Igbos such shameless attention-seekers? This is a struggle for something fundamental. No one, certainly not Yorubas, is asking you to get involved.

Igbos are a 'food is ready' and opportunistic people. That's how you play politics and other issues.

Security of life counts for nothing in Nigeria anymore. The worst aspect is that we are not even dealing with our own Nigerian Fulanis alone now.

Something has to give and someone must take a stand.
Yorubas don't need these sort of 'notice me' noise from you people.

Just shut up and stay in your lane. We don't need you and no one is looking your way so stop trying to feel funky and important.

There's a video I watched on Facebook where some Yoruba youths was chasing Fulani people....the guy recording it was shouting and said this is Oduduwa Biafra land.. I was shocked sha.....maybe Nairaland Yorubas are different from real time Yorubas.

Like I said dear, Igboland is going to maintain a non allied stand, we want the most peaceful means of resolution, we also wish that our core allies maintain non Alliance but it up to them tribal level to decide, but this is our decision, please sensitize your people, we wish both parties come down to dialogue.

Lol. Do what you want. No one sends you reactionary noisemakers and attention-seekers. Yorubas know what they want and how to get it. We don't wait for anyone and dont take our cue from others.

Go and face your struggle. This is not about you so stop your shameless attention-seeking merely because no one is mentioning you confused people at the moment.

Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

It is our business becuase our food for instance comes from the West and The North and we had seen hunger weaponisation, we should rather work to reach food sufficiency until then whatever that is happening in those region are our business becuase invariably we would be affected.

What about millions of Igbos in the west, what about millions of Igbos in the North, please no side should take it personal this is an intelligence decision, and it practically our business becuse we have the highest number of people non indigenous leaving in both North and West so it really our business.

So a non Alliance stance means it non of our business, there are millions of Igbos in the West, lagos alone have more than 3 million of us, same as Kano and Sokoto, for Igbos to come out and make this decision means we care, did you consider others before you act, would you protect the millions of Igbos in the North, would Fulanis also protect the millions of Igbos in the West, Best thing for Igbos and most others is non Alliance.

OP this tread is unnecessary.. You don't know history.. Anytime yorouba factions are having problems allow them to settle the matter, if u try to support one, they would settle at the back and tag you as their problem.

The reality is that it no longer about a Yoruba faction, it no longer about Yorubas alone, they used to have issues and we keep out of it, and it is better we make our stand known early enough, we are also getting ready in Igboland for any eventuality, Adeyinkas grand son used to make threats and declare ultimatum but we dont take him serious becuase we knew his were empty threats but the reality here is very valid,

Though the Yorubas has a better chance against the Fulanis but then as Igbos these unrest will affect us becuase these things are already threatening food supplies, food prices are almost double price in Igboland, so we should concentrate on our survival, all these unrest means people won't be going to farm and the more it continues our food supply will be out soon, so they both need to stop let's talk peace.

We need ourselves, no tribe should see our stand as targeted against them, we are doing what we think is the best for our people

I think you should face the situation and stop being paranoid about peoples views, if you think it is okay for them to resign it is up to you but he thinks it is not okay and unusual it up to him, so give it your own narratives, that's his own narrative, if he feels like it a bad omen, let it slide, you have no right to dictate how people feel about a situation

Bia OP which one be Premier Of Igbo Province of Nigeria (Premier Ogechukwu) ??

Anyway that's fair enough, The only allies Yoruba need are the Ijaw pirates and other close south south groups like Ilajes and Ishekiris, the sea is the only way to access weapons, and it is only with weapons that this skirmish can be even, Sunday Igboho is just wasting his time.

Thanks for the Understanding, though let me give you the benefit of my time, the Premier aspect you will understand better as the time goes by, well you don't really need the Ijaws as allies, You Yorubas already have access to the sea, if you are a strategist all you need from the Ijaws is to be non allied, becuase if Ijaws allied with your enemy that Grant's them access to the sea, also note that Ijaws are not the only one with access to the Sea, what about the Akwaibom and Calabar even if I exclude the Igbos since you already know our stand, I'm only explaining these things becuase it is better to talk than war.

I also wants you to understand that war is about interest and Fulanis have better bargaining option with Niger Delta than Yorubas, all it will take the Fulanis to have the tribes of Niger Delta fighting by them is to promise to grant them back their oil wells, which you know is very possible, look into yourself and also look into others, we are ready to talk, to talk to anyone, to talk to everyone

2023 is a political decision wait for that first we are also preparing for that, I hope you know US was non allied on the world war 2 until the pearl harbour attack, that was a costly mistake I think the Japanese regrets till this day, what I'm I saying, should Igboland stay non allied and any of the side attack us first, well let's not talk about that part, Igboland is non allied and that's it.
