For every yoruba blood spilled,10 hausa/fulanis will be killed in reprisal attacks. we need to de-populate/exterminate them.

This is what made Awo to drink otapiapia, he didn't want to witness such thing in S.West. Kwara state will turn to a battle field, if there is any reprisal attack on Hausa-Fulani in S.West, Make all this OPC pikins go rest, how many of them can embark on any suicide missions that can kill hundreds of Hausa-Fulani in the North? Just imagine one Boko haram suicide bomber in Lagos or Ibadan, do you know how many life they will waste?? Oo boy, Awolowo where you dey? Abeg make OPC no go wake Boko boyz from thier sleep oo, Me self, i dey East watching the drama as it unfold gradually, R.I.P Ikemba.

[size=14pt]OPC joins calls for Sovereign National Conference[/size]
Written by  James Azania, Benin

The Oodua People’s Congress has called for the convening of a Sovereign National Conference to address the problems facing the country.

The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation said  during its National Coordination Council meeting in Benin, Edo State on Tuesday SNC remained the only option to tackle the  challenges facing the country.

President of the organisation, Chief Gani Adams, who addressed members, denied that OPC  was solely founded to fight past oppressive military regimes, declaring that the “Oodua fights against any manner of injustice.”

He said, “There is no doubt that Nigeria is being confronted by many challenges that  confound its leadership.  It is our belief that nobody knows it all; you can only know what you harbour in your own mind;  but not what others think is the right thing to do.

“It is because of  this reason that we must look into the issue of convening a Sovereign National Conference. The SNC will enable us to explore better ways through which we  desire to live together as citizens of this  country.

“It is not just right to continue the way we are going when all can see the damage we are doing to ourselves and the country. We have so many problems,including  corruption, insecurity, epileptic power supply and investors apathy and  yet we are reluctant to do what is proper.

“Any government that does not have organisations that serve as a watchdog could be bereft of ideas.”  

He said the Benin  meeting was to create awareness about the organisation and “reawaken its culture of identity.”

Is this Sovereign National Conference going to be different from Aburi accord of 1966, b/w Ojukwu(Biafra) and Gowon(Nigeria)? Am just asking oo!

Kilode?!:
For the umpteenth time. When will others lend their voices to this call?

We've heard from MMN and MEND ( at least a faction). The rest?

who are the rest? Do you mean Hausa-Fulani(Arewa pple)?

lagerwhenindoubt:
That will never happen because the Ijaws have an opportunity to engage both lagosians and other non-indigenous ethnic groups in the development of their communities - (roads, health, education) since all ACN chairmen failed to perform the past 8 years - they would rather fight OPC. The Igbos in Surulere (Yahoo-Yahoo, Nollywood and Import-Exports business) have soo much money to upturn the politics of Lagos in their favor but what are they doing Trust every Ndigbo to fight against themselves when it is in their best interest not to. - The only pinch Lagos will feel is every Christmas and Easter when non-indigenous ethnic groups (who own most micro-businesses) go to their home-town. we are left with poorly cooked amala and all sorts of bush yoruba delicacies and area boys

Lwkm'dieee!

jason123:
The funny thing is, people are just lump groups together. WTF is "North", "East" or "West". Keep deceiving yourselves. That era has ended! We will not be tools for anybody.

We! We!! who are those you are referring to We?? Do you mean the pple of Middle Belt or Itsekiri? Pls educate me.

lagcity:
lol at Igbos always waiting for civil war partners to fight each other. una go wait tire. get over the civil war, u bunch of bitter losers .

lol to you Igbo-phobian, at least we are not killing each others in the Eastern region.

The Federation of Middle Belt People on Wednesday distanced itself from the peace conference organised by the northern socio-political group, the Arewa Consultative Forum, in Kaduna on Tuesday, saying the North was not ready for peace. The Coordinator of the FMBP in Plateau State, Mr. Manasseh Watyil, in an interview with one of ourcorrespondents on Wednesday, said that Middle Belt leaders were not taken along in the peace process.



Also, the Special Adviser to the Plateau State Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr. Pam Ayuba, described the meeting as one without sincerity of purpose.

Just as the Middle Belt criticised its non-inclusion in the conference, Sheu Sani, accused the ACF of using the forum to drum up support for an unnamed preferred Northern presidential aspirant for the 2015 presidential election.

The peace conference was said to have been convened to address the increasing incidences of insecurity in the North, particularly activities of a militant Islamic sect, Boko Haram; the Tiv-Fulani clashes in Benue State and the incessant crises in Plateau State in the Middle Belt. Since the beginning of this year, more than 1,000 people have been killed in bombings in the North East and the Federal Capital Territory by Boko Haram.

Also, the crises in Plateau State have left thousands of people dead. Although the Tuesday meeting was attended by a former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rted) and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Saad Abubakar, notable traditional rulers from the Middle Belt were absent.

[b]They included the Tor Tiv, Alfred Akawu Torkula; Ochi Idoma, Elias Ikoyi Obekpa; Aku Uka Wukarri, Agyo Masaka Ibi and Gwom Jos, Gyang Buba. Faulting the peace conference, Watyil said that it was a gathering of people with political and economic interests.

He wondered why a former Defence Minister, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma; Air Cdr Dan Suleiman; Prof Jerry Gana and other stakeholders in the Middle Belt were absent if the meeting was for peace. Watyil said, "As far as we are concerned, they are not prepared for peace, simply because the people who should propagate the peace, especially the traditional and political institutions, are absent "Even the Boko Haram activities are tailored to Middle Belt. There are series of attacks in the Middle Belt, yet the people that matter, including in religion, politics and traditional institutions were practically absent.

"If the ACF wants peace in the North, the position of Middle Belt in the North should be redefined." Also faulting the meeting, the special adviser to the Plateau State governor said such gatherings had not yielded positive results in the past."

Ayuba told one of our correspondents that although he could not say why some leaders from the Middle Belt were absent, [b]he recalled that the Gbong Gwom Jos, Gyang Buba and the Sultan of Sokoto, had exchanged hot words in one of such gatherings in the past.

Also a prominent Tiv leader and former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Tsav, said that it was obvious that some Middle Belt leaders boycotted the meeting because they did not want to associate with the North.

Tsav lamented that unlike in the time of the late Sarduna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, northerners had allowed religion to divide them. "The Sarduana dealt with every competent Northerner irrespective of religion. Northern leaders are selfish and these are the people who have benefitted from the North. They are fighting for themselves," he said.

The ACF National Publicity Secretary, Anthony Sani, however said the organisation sent letters to most of the northern leaders, be they political, traditional or religious.

He said, "Reports reached us that the courier services used did not deliver all of them. And that explained our inclusion of invitation by groups in the adverts.

"Some understood and came for the conference on the basis of the adverts, while some others did not. That explained what happened? The conference was intended to bring northerners together to talk things over and reconcile themselves."

Explaining his position on the conference, Sani, in an e-mail message to one of our correspondents, "The conference is nothing but a meaningless talk shop and a gathering of relevance-seekers, political pensioners and hired guns of Presidency.

@topic,  Lol, maybe these people are no longer Middle belts becos to some NL eediots only Igbos don't want to associate with Hausa-Fulani Muslims,  Day by day these people continue to vindicate Ojukwu's action. Am laughing in Boko haram.

DRANOEL:
@torch 1

m.umu did your history books tell you that nigeria went to war with itself becos of aburi accord or the declaration of biafra? war was alreadr eminent, the aburi sitting was called to calm nerves! ask your d.umb self what action led to aburi accord or was the aburi meeting held becos your m.ama opened her legs to conceive you?

such unintelligent replies reaffirm my belief that the future generation is the future disaster of nigeria

shut da phuck up! You dunce! Go ask ur papa what made Ojukwu to declare Biafra as a sovereign state or what they went to Aburi Ghana to do? And how does the declaration of Biafra as a Sovereign state means that Ojukwu declared war against Nigerians as you stated below??

DRANOEL:
i don't just get some of you morons on n/l. the man says he regrets starting state creation becos subsequent govts bastardized it (meaning he doesn't regret he's own creation)!

some are mentioning biafra and ojukwu and the fact that gowon wasn't the most senior officer when he took over, pray i thought coup plotters carry out the act to put their choice at the helm and not their seniors, ojukwu declared war against the state what was he expecting a hand shake and a hug? gej might as well reach out to boko haram for dinner.

to think most of the post here are from the so called future of nigeria! i really pity that future

Bingo!

Why are they running? cowards! Make they go call that stupid Gowon to come save them,

nagoma:
Niger Delta thugs started kidnapping the Igbo's took over and it became their bread and butter, earlier on the Yoruba's started 419 and the cocaine business - the Igbos took over and excelled in both , the igbo's are now taking over terrorism from Boko Haram Hausa-Fulani Muslim! We are in real poo!!

Aboki, thank God you admitted that we Igbos didn't initiate any of the above crimes you mentioned. We are now learning terrorism from Hausa-Fulani Boko haram, by the time we are through, we will help Boko boys burn down Nigeria b4 2015, we no dey carry last at all. I love being Igbo man.
