Shut up. your Yoruba kindred are the one thwarting that effort of SS and SE On regional government because oof Oil, you are happy sniffing the balls of an average Northerner.

ABA- Following incessant attacks by Fulani herdsmen in some states of the federation, Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB, have given a 30 days ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari to end the attack on innocent Nigerians or face its wrath.


MASSOB which said it is worried by the inability of the federal government to stop the increasing destruction of farmlands, raping of women, armed robbery, kidnapping, as well as killing of innocent Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen, accused President Buhari of protecting the attackers who are his kinsmen.

National Director of Information of MASSOB, Sunny Okereafor who handed the ultimatum in an interview with journalists in Aba, said the federal government has been playing with fire over the attacks and threatened that MASSOB will not fold its arms and allow Fulani herdsmen invade Igbo communities, rape women, kill residents and burn their houses.

According to him, “MASSOB is worried that Fulani herdsmen have become very daring in their attacks since President Buhari came to power. We are not saying Buhari is their sponsor, but his silence over the attacks is suspicious. MASSOB is giving Buhari 30 days ultimatum to stop the attacks or face our wrath.

“Again, we are warning Fulani herdsmen and their sponsors to withdraw from Biafra land. They should count Igbo land out of their Islamization policy. We are also warning Ndigbo to remain at alert as these Fulani herdsmen are terrorists posing as herdsmen. Soon, they will pay for all their atrocities against the people of Biafra.”

Okereafor who disclosed that that his group has set up a committee to monitor the activities of Fulani herdsmen in Igbo land, added that MASSOB would be forced to abandon her non violent policy to protect Biafrans if the federal government refuses to check the invasion of its communities by the herdsmen.

Syphax:

Shut the f**k up! We Igbos brought up the issue of confederation during the Aburi meeting but your kinsmen decide to act against it.
Next time check history before blaming the Igbo nation for your mistakes.

cktheluckyman:


Bros tommorow is not far naa.let's wait and see!!

mightyhazell:
don't mind d cowards. Igbos are holding their front like real men while all they do online is jump up and down trying 2 discredit us. Just look how one shameless oldman superstar1 was jumping all over the the place like a baboon yestde,just because fulanis attacked a community in the southeast and were getting properly served before security found their voice.
Wot baffles me abt dese ppl is the way they will now carry it upon themselves when igbos defend their homeland and start calling us the aggressors and we shd stop attacking 'innocent fulani',like they did when aba boys were fending off (and planting d marauders in shallow graves) some few weeks back.

Majority of the senators or reps come from the North. Majority of them won't even entertain this thoughts. They are united in this.

Everybody knows and is hearing of Ekweremmadu, how come we never hear of ur father(cardiologist)?

betterABIAstate:
Zik is the icon of independence as far as Nigeria is concerned, its not my fault if you don't like it.

betterABIAstate:
go and read well, you are obviously shallow in this context, azikiwe is more nationalistic than anything that has come out of Nigeria.

I will not engage you in this discourse, you sound naïve.

AreaFada2:


Most of those first generation leaders did great things, though they also made their own mistakes. Easy for us to say with hindsight that they did not have.

Zik was a nationalist because he initially had no interest playing politics in the East. In his view, any Nigerian should aspire to political office anywhere in Nigeria. But Nigeria was not (and still not) ripe for that level of nationalism. He only went East when he was prevented from doing so in the West.

Another thing was, he let peace reign by putting Nigeria first. He agreed to be a ceremonial president to allow Balewa form government.

He could have left his party out of government, leaving Balewa to form an unstable minority government. Imagine an unstable govt in a newly independent country. The 1966 coup would have come much earlier.

Even when Okotieh-Eboh was used against him by the British and others to destabilise his party, he let peace reign. Now compare with the internal crisis between the camps of Awo & Akintola and how damaging it was. How the North even used it as an excuse the cage Awo, the brilliant and indefatigable opposition leader.

Overall (rather naively from our current divided and tribalised mind set), he was way too nationalist & optimistic to see that Nigeria would have problems of national unity.

But Awo saw it coming and even boldly said "Nigeria is only a geographical expression". Try to beat that.

betterABIAstate:
nope, is just like asking me to tell you what moses did for is real or what nelson Mandela did for south Africa.
Your question is very senseless.

Clintonpaul:
Mind u he proposed that under Jonathan bt his colleagues didn't support him, now he desires to launch it as a book so it can garner support

betterABIAstate:
stop being subtle, no one will seize to believe respectable elders and notable African leaders on the stance of zik and choose to believe a lowlife Yoruba saddist who have chosen to hate anything that comes out of Igbo.

BudeYahooCom:


Must the East unite with you to fight fulanis? Why don't you yorubas fight the fulanis at your own end, while the East fight them at the Eastern front? Why this desperation for unity at this time with East. Didn't the East warn you?

You have an Emirate on your land, the fulani menace is more pronounced in your yorubaland than anywhere. Stop seeking unity for your self inflicted wound and face fulanis at your end, you don't need the East to fight it for you. Stop shouting unity up and down and face them there.

betterABIAstate:
what are you saying?
Zik is part of the reason Nigeria is still in existence, zik played a key role in the independence of Nigeria. Please drop your tribal sentiment because as far as you are still a Nigerian, zik remains your hero.

Are you expecting me to tell you he constructed roads and flyovers?

Krismart:
Who said he is not in power? All these years he has been in the senate. Where is your father who is supposed to be his age mate abi u don't even have 1

betterABIAstate:
you are kid and you seem to be reading too many Yoruba books. I can remember vividly zik's statement during independence " it doesn't matter who becomes the prime minister, we have host of other capable candidates like awolowo, tafawa balewa etc" all I want is a progressive nation " awolowo on the otherhand was interested in developing southwest, please ask questions before spewing thrash.

Every genuine Nigerian tags zik a true nationalist, awolowo is in the league of ojukwu, the later was just interested in regional development.

betterABIAstate:
your statemenr has not dispute the fact that zik was a nationalist while awolowo was a Regionalist/ tribalist

cybernaut:

u love 2 talk bt let see and watch hw d dance wil display on d stage now because d floor is open and is happen nw and who knws wat tomorow wil luks lyke.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

So, you mean it wasn't in the aburi or what?
You make it sound as if Igbos had a meeting and persuaded ironsi and zik to do whatever you think they did. The last time we checked, they were on fallout with other igbos.
Every Igbo was in support of aburi accord

betterABIAstate:
you are silly with your comment, Zik was a visionary leader who had Nigeria in mind, awolowo was a tribalist who was only interested in southwest.

Zik wanted a multiethnic Nigeria, and a harmonious co-existence, it's the awolowo spirit in us that won't allow that.

cybernaut:

Baseless!their was a country and a new is a country form.believe it or not.u yoruba's form allies wit d northerns to hike d power by help tinubu and it works.so shuld stage wit ur master because northern region is landblock.northern's wil nt acept true federalism.

Babacele:
why didn't Ekweremadu's PDP do it for all their 16 years in power? mtcheeeew...nonsense noise!

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Confederacy was part of the aburi accord in 1966 nwokem.
Igbos suggested debulking of Nigeria earlier

Musiwa419:
Ekweremadu would be the first ibo man that I would vote for, if he contest and places this as his campaign manifesto.
Without regionalism and true federalism, the progrees and development of Nigeria would remain elusive
