Nice one.

First to do no dey pain.

Hope you know how many Ibo people dey North?

The number of Ibos in Kano alone is more than all the Hausas in Iboland

Most Hausas you have in Iboland have little economic value compared to Ibos in the North with several years of thriving business

Hope your leaders told you about the attacks of 1966 and the Northern counter attack. Ask who lost more

I would advise Ohaneze and Ibo elders to caution their people before Northerners start theirs

Won't it just be pleasant to see the Hausas do to the igbos what you always dreamt of?

My friend, be very careful of what you wish for.

As I type this now, there is a mass exodus from the north by the Igbos.

The SouthSouth is on a renewed mission to demand full autonomy.

As things stand now, it is only the southwest and the north that will be left in "one peaceful" Nigeria.

Let us selflessly break the hedge holding our Land and move to the fertile land of abundance where there is no desperation to feed. Power is food and some think they need it more than the others. If all tribes in Nigeria become desperate like the Hausas this country will boil. Let us the Igbos, for once, be wholeheartedly detrablized and trust ourselves to liberate Nigeria by Dr Goodluck clamour. It is not about what we've got after that, it is about what we have done afterwards. Our experience must not be who succeed Jonathan but who sacrificially rescued Nigeria. This will break the hedge holding us captives
