when is this division happening? please i can't wait

Nchara:
As an Igbo man I will definitely prefer an Igbo-only country. We have all we need to make it.
The farthest I can go is the old eastern region (for those of them WILLING, no compulsion)
I have zero preference for a southern Nigeria that includes Yorubas. Their wahala too much.

[size=16pt]Igbo American Alliance Against Genocide demands action against sponsors of Boko Haram[/size]

January 10, 2012

- Press Release, January 10, 2012: ‘Igbo American Alliance Against Genocide (IAAAG) asks Presidents Obama and Jonathan to prosecute sponsors of Boko Haram’s genocidal violence‘ -
The Igbo American Alliance Against Genocide (IAAAG), the U.S-based international group of African and American professionals, has followed and monitored with concern and revulsion, the violent and bloody recent events in Africa’s most populated, multi-religious country, NIGERIA.

Therefore, The Igbo American Alliance Against Genocide makes the following statement:

1. We CALL on the Presidents and governments of Nigeria and the United States to act, without further delay, to do much more by arresting and prosecuting the sponsors and patrons of the evil, targeted killings of members of the south eastern Nigerian Igbo and other Christians by the radical, terroristic Islamic group Boko Haram in parts of northern Nigeria.
2. We URGE the government of Nigeria, the United States and the International Court at the Hague should coordinate efforts to prosecute those who aid and sponsor and justify the targeted killings with possible genocidal implications. We implore the Governors and local government leaders in the areas of violence in Nigeria to be mindful that the international community and agencies especially the Igbo American Alliance Against Genocide (IAAAG) are watching and monitoring.
3. We CONDEMN, without any reservation, the inadequate initial response by the law enforcement authorities in Nigeria in failing to adequately protect the current and historic targets of radical Islamic zealotry in Nigeria, especially the Igbo and other Christians in the area. We note that factually, more than 200,000 persons, women and children from those groups have been killed/murdered by such attacks since 1938. The waves of killings and genocidal actions against the same group in 1965, 1966 and 1967 led to the Nigeria-Biafra war of 1967-1970. Most of the international community looked the other way as 2 million Igbo/south eastern Christians were wasted in genocidal killings in Nigeria. The dangers of the latest events cannot be understated, 
4. We REMIND the international community that neither the Nigerian government nor relevant international organizations have terminated this ongoing, gradual genocide and religious extremism in the northern region; consequently undermining the basis for a peaceful and safe Nigeria for law abiding Muslims and Christians.

5. As a preliminary effort, we CALL on the federal, state and local governments of Nigeria to pay financial and associated compensations to the families of those affected by the latest wave of violence since 2010 to date. We request the increased support of the Red Cross and other NGOs.
We will not fold our hands and we will not keep silent, for as Martin Luther King Jr., wrote in the Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

there is no love in nigeria
there is respect
if you plan well, you will get respect and that will persuade would be backstabbers to think twice before embarking on any tricks
if you don't plan well, history will repeat itself
that's all

look all of you should calm down because you have nothing to worry about unless you are planning to stab us again
if igbo ever get serious with fighting back, then they should prepare to fight everybody afterall there is no guarantee that backstabbing won't happen again. that is why they should plan for a very long time before responding to these attacks. any igbo that still think that he can fight awusa without worrying about backstabbers is not serious
they should plan very well, that is all i'm saying

Sam_Ikenna:
Jason 123 I would like to know what the solution should be since you said Igbos should keep calm.

Realchange, I feel you bro. believe me it hurts but lets be wise. Yoruba and Igbo are brothers, I mean brothers in real sense both genetically and culturally. Its like saying Igbo should fight Ijaw or Efik. I would never fight against a yoruba man if it involves taking his life - count me out. I would want them to remain neutral if that will make them happy but to fight against yoruba and hausa at the same time, bro thats going be a cataclysmic failure of unimaginable propotion especially given our current technological level.

if Yoruba join awusa again to fight us, we will make sure we bring war to yorubaland. they should stay neutral, but we know them as backstabbers. we must prepare for all of them

Sam_Ikenna:
I have read so much on nairaland to know who is who. Its a pity the only thing that will appease some of our southern fellows is for Igbos to roll over and call them lord of lords. However, I have news for those southern fellows and that is-it aint happnin. Huasa-fulani people killed igbos and the rest of Nigeria joined in making sure that "aggresive Igbos" were put in their propper place. Today, Boko haram has started killing christians and it seems we, Igbos, are recording high casualties and what do we see - Sheyguy, Lagoshia, jason234 and some other seemingly educated southerners are implicitly insinuating that Igbos either caused it by either their statements or their 99% vote for GEJ. Its a shame the rest of southerners want to make it Igbo-Hausa affair and probably looking for a way to screw Igbos again. But you know what, If southerners want to make it Igbo - Hausa affair then I ask that they completely remain neutral and not screw our effort because Igbos are more than able to deliver a crushing blow to this manace.

if they don't stay neutral, we should be prepared to fight all of them. with enough sophisticated weapons, we can!
and win!

Besides, CHYZ I used to like reading your posts but it amazes me how you turned into Beaf-hater. I still have some respect for you but my brother you've got to see Beaf and Frosbel as sincere southern fellows who are sick of this un-ending hurt from core north. Frosbel's Igbo or no Igbo is immaterial, whats important is the truth in his message. Let me ask you and other southern christians this question and before I go further lets just say core north and other nigerian muslems are totally against Boko haram. Now the question is this - who stands to gain if all christians are wiped out or depopulated in Nigeria? Who gains if christians become minority in Nigeria? You see, before you enjoy the killing or maiming of Igbo christians think about who gains when the deed is finally done because you might wake up to discover you're next in the chopping block.

Some muslems and northerners are really against what is happening, I really believe some are disguted by it, but that didnt save the lives of those brothers who met their untimely death for no just cause. Mind you, when all Igbos and christians are finally in their graves those "good muslems" would weep for us and afterwards enjoy their new majority.

Igbos and concerned southerners please lets look out for our common interest, lets pull our resources together and challange this carnage. In as much as we thank the good muslems for their courage lets realize its our lives that are at stake and do something about it.

very smart observation.

Kc3000:
^^^^^then you wonder why no one like you. As you admitted, you've never been known to burst a grape in a food fight, but afterwards you'll make the loudest noise. Why not simply shut your trap, since 'the fight' does not concern your beloved Yoruba people. Let me guess. . .you feel left out, but fear would not let you commit to either side. But, you'll hover around, just enough to get noticed and hop on the d.i.c.k of whoever emerges victorious.
     You are not fooling anyone, sit on the sideline and assume your usual cheer-leading duties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahaha! +100

every african killing another must be dealt with

Wewe ni uongo tena 
Mimi si kama wewe wakati wote

every african killing another must be dealt with

alj harem:
of course capital NO !!!

that is why we should demand accountability from our security forces. isn't it ?

but you are one of the "security forces", what are you talking about?
remember you once said you nearly killed afam4eva
so answer yourself

alj harem:
The question is

SHOULD THE KILLING OF ANYONE BE ALLOWED IN NIGERIA ? BE IT IGBO OR NOT ?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR POLICE FORCE ?

WHY CAN'T LIVES AND PROPERTIES OF NIGERIANS BE PROTECTED EVEN IN LAKE CHAD ?

lets be honest with ourselves, that is not GEJs fault but the fault of the previous administrations and the current.

i think you should answer all these questions because you seem to be everywhere here

alj harem:
which is ?

you northern nigerians killing igbos in the north

though i am really a tanzanian my mother is from igboland

why are you killing igbos in northern nigeria?

thank God, now we can face the real issues facing us

let me speak in my african language to all africans

Wewe ni mtu sana wazimu.
Unapaswa kwenda na kuwashawishi gullibe na uongo wako

LagosShia:
please dont mix up the hausa-igbo rivalry with the nigerian civil war which was led by a northern christian president against Ojukwu.

and if you want to be counting from 1945,then you must blame foreigners because then nigeria was a british colony.right?

and that is why exactly people (muslims) have been rejecting boko haram and telling you that boko haram does not represent northerners and does not represent muslims.wake up and recognize the fact there is something bigger and fishy.

what about 1980s (countless)
1990s (countless)
2000s (still counting)

your "blame the foreigner" strategy can only convince those with very low IQ

balkanize it already
they created it, they should balkanize it

Stalwert:
^^^^^^

Boy first admit that you are following a foool so that we might determine how we will intervene in your life.

kid first admit that you are talking nonsense by blaming foreigners for a crime northern nigerians have been committing against igbo people since 1945

Stalwert:
it is true and you happen to have fallen victim to frosbel anti - Nigerian propaganda, all post the devils agents post always certainly revolves around religion, celebrating how muslims kill christians and then stating categorically that they- the christians will defend themselves a code name for attack and retailiation, only foool will follow the track of saboteur, but the wise do not follow a saboteur to destroy his father's home. i hope u r wise

so who has been killing igbos in my "fathers home" since 1945?
you must think that all of us suffer from some form of amnesia

LagosShia:
if nationality is not relevant as you say,when are nigerians going to invite the british to come back?

"frosbel" is an online mercenary spreading hate and division among nigerians.

did they ever leave? LOL!  
you talk as if they ever left
that is why i believe that most of you have no idea what you are talking about

Stalwert:
haba you people should know that no one is sure if frosbel can be considered a Nigerian, some say he is a saboteur paid to spread religious disharmony amongst muslims and christians, no thread he ever starts on nl contain any semblance of wisdom! please people get back to mobilizing against the foreign stooge the great ode - chukwu jonathan

is this story true or false?
if true, then you are the arse
frosbel's nationality is irrelevant

they should balkanize it afterall they created it

hbrednic:
My people should not touch any hausaman that has no blood in his hand,
it makes no sense.

which kain logic be dis?
nothing wey man no go hear for nairaland
which kain cowardice be dis?

abeg keep ya preaching inside ya bedroom jare

alj harem:
Maybe it is the emotion that has beclouded your reasoning. Is this the first time Boko haram is attacking ?

Why can't we ask why our people are not safe in Borno and Yobe ?

SMDH

so why are they not safe there? try me

Beaf:
[size=16pt]You are a demon.[/size] May the blood of the dead hunt you.
How can anybody politic over precious loss of life? what sort of devil are you?

gbam!

Chyz*:
Did hausa or northerners kill them?

where did they die? you people should stop this nonsense of changing the topic
these igbo people were killed in the north, weren't they?

LagosShia:
[size=18pt]Nairaland Alert!!![/size]

"frosbel" is a fanatical christian bigot who is an agent of war,hatred and destruction.he campaigns and is always on nairaland to ferment division.i have suspected "frosbel" mainly in the religion section to be "Beaf" who is mainly in the political section.beware of "frosbel"!!!

here is another thread he created cheering for war:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-839103.0.html

did frosbel kill innocent people having a meeting on how to transport their dead relative home?
some of you need to have your heads examined

nku5:
Ndi igbo living in the north need to organise themselves into defence groups. They should come together and do an inventory of weapons they have between them. If there had been at least [b]5 pump action or assault rifles [/b]in the hands of people at that meeting, it would have been a fight and not a massacre

thank you, though i think they need far more than that to defend themselves
at least you are thinking

there are three groups of igbos on this thread
there who are cowards who would rather attack the messenger than face the story
there are iddiiots who want igbo to stay in the north and hope to be saved by the fedeeral govt
there are sane people who want igbo to either return or fight back

i belong to the last group

there is nothing wrong in choosing to live in the north; if you like sef live in afghanistan. but there is something wrong in being a christmas goat to be slaughtered at will by awusa people. those of you cursing others for advising their brothers to relocate to the east should be ashamed of yourselves, infact the curse returns to you.
why didn't those igbo people fight back and kill back? do you know how their actions (donating their necks for the knives and bombs) are affecting our psychology in igboland? if they cannot defend themselves, they should return even if they own all the properties there. smh at this type of nonsense brains

north central/middle belt has spoken

dayokanu:
Are we not copying subsidy removal and fuel pricing from them? Are we not copying democracy from them, Are we not copying Science from them, even our language and dressing

nothing wrong in copying. i'm not against copying. i'm against copying without fixing, ie copying intoto/verbatim
we are smarter than that i hope
so, copy, fix, then adopt
