GBTYO: I came here to make a long post but when I saw your write-up I decided not to. You have said all there is to say. Nowhere in Nigeria did I see social segregation like Kano. The stupendously rich routinely lording it over the wretched poor. Has it ever struck you, the irony of the fact that Dangote, the richest man in Africa (and others like him) ignores poverty and disease in the north and it takes a Bill Gates to come from America to tackle polio? The north will end up with violent revolution and blood letting that will pit the illiterate poor disenfranchised against the rich feudalists. Boko haram is just the beginning. This is not a curse. It is a prediction based on dispassionate analysis. Lies against the north indeed. 17 Likes 3 Shares |

KevinDein: My brother nobody has hatred for the north. Many many northerners are good people, kind and hospitable. The land is fertile and food is cheap. The roads are wonderful, crime is very low in certain areas. Northerners are not motivated by greed. The women in some cases are celestially beautiful. But. North is a ticking time bomb. It has the highest rates of AIDS, TB, and both infant and maternal mortality. IT boasts 10 million homeless children called almajiris. The leaders are more interested in rulership than development. The poor people are brainwashed and live in the stone-age. They are mobilized to mob violence by a simple reference to Islam. They kill people by beheading for tearing a piece of paper. The Nigerian north is akin to Pakistan, Afghanistan or Bangladesh Trouble is brewing and that is why we want separation. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

GBTYO: Please reconcile your claim with the fact that in every of those cities , Christians are allowed to their churches. There are many churches as there as christian denominations. Each one is allowed to build his church. For example in Maiduguri where I schooled, there are up to 60 major churches in the capital. In contrast however, IMO state that is considered to be free has only 1 mosque in the whole of the capital. And its not because the moslems do not want to build mosques. If allowed just the corp members posted to the state will do this. Yet the south Easterners GI to other regions. And want to claim lord there. |

Some iddiots want to come here to rebrand a region that's impossible to rebrand. Do you know that Igbos, the most victims of northern Nigeria's attrocities are majority in nairaland, yet you want to spew this your rebranding shiiit to them. History Of IGBO Massacre Across The Northern Nigeria MASSACRE (City/Town and Year) 1. Jos 1945 2. Kano genocide 1953 3. 1966 pogroms- over 60,000 civilians were killed 4. May 29th 1967- over 200,000 civilians were killed. 5. 1967-70 – over 3,100,0000 killed during the bloody civil war (Including the Asaba Genocide). 6. Kano 1980 7. Maiduguri 1982 8. Jimeta 1984 9. Gombe 1985 10.Zaria 1987 11.Kaduna & Kafanchan 1991 12.Bauchi & Katsina 1991 13. Kano 1991 14. Zangon-Kataf 1992 15. Funtua 1993 16. Kano 1994 17. Kaduna 2000 18. Kaduna 2001 19. Maiduguri 2001 20.

Post April 2011 Presidential Election: 10 youth-corps men & women and numerous citizens murdered because a Christian Southerner was elected. 26. Jos Christmas Eve 2010 27. Madalla Christmas day 2011 28. Mubi January 6 2012 29. The many Igbo deaths caused by boko haram(which of course has the full backing of the northern elites). And the list goes on. By the time you read this more would have died. The situation is getting out of hand and the Nigerian government has shown that it lacks the will and the capability to protect the life and property of Igbos in Nigeria. The killings must stop. If you are Igbo and you are still playing the ostrich, it could be you tomorrow, me, or your loved ones. http://www.may30.org/history-of-igbo-massacre-across-the-northern-nigeria/ 6 Likes |

Massacre of Igbos, Christian Minorities and Southerners in Northern Nugeria since 1945 to date May 25, 2014 at 11:45pm If this statistics are true, it is unfortunate and unfair for us to continue as a nation without questioning the rationale of our national unity and Federal structure. Human life is sacred and we need to call our people on the other side to questions, if we are Nigerians and this nation belong to us all. Read Courtesy of Igbo World online: Must see - Nigeria: A Historical Record of Hausa-Fulani Jihad in Nigeria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAq7fm0BaX0 On Monday, 26 May 2014, 4:20, Collins Ezebuihe <collyezebuihe@hotmail.com> wrote: A DIARY OF IGBO VICTIMS OF NORTHERN NIGERIA's JIHADISTS: 1. Jos, June 22, 1945 - Over 200 people were massacred in Jos, and their property looted. The colonial authorities failed to institute a probe, and no justice was obtained for the victims. 2. Kano 1953 - over 150 killed following the political riots in protest of the so-called treatment of Northern political leaders in Ibadan . 3.Between May and October 1966 - over 50, 000 Igbo were killed in an organized pogrom following the Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna-led coup of Jan.15, 1966. In July a counter coup was staged in which the Igbo General Ironsi was killed in Ibadan with his host, Col. Francis A Fajuyi. Ironsi’s murder did not stem the massacres, but it was intensified from September 1966 . From July 1967- January 1970 over 2 million Igbos were killed fighting for liberation in Biafra . The International press reported acts of genocide against the Igbo in places like Asaba which were generally ignored. 3) Many Biafran civilians died mainly from starvation as a result of the federal blockade and mass starvation policy. 3. Kano 1980 - over 1000 Igbos were killed 4. Maiduguiri 1982 - 1983 over 500 Igbos were killed1) 5) At the beginning of 2001, the Islamic Sharia law was implemented in Kaduna State and a particular incident in 2002 saw at least more than 1,000 Southerners killed in a particular riot and most of those killed were Igbos. Among those murdered were parents of Victor Moses (Austin and Josephine Moses), current member of Nigeria 's national soccer team that won the continental trophy in 2013. 6) Between February 16 - December 26, 2002 thousands of Igbo were killed in northern Nigeria and the root cause of the killing and riot was the implementation of Sharia law in the northern states of Nigeria . Among those killed were three Igbo Christian pastors including George Orji who was killed by beheading. 7) In November 2002, hundreds of Igbo were massacred again following controversy around the hosting of Miss World beauty contest in Nigeria . The APO-SIX killings occurred in June, 2005 in which the Nigeria Police Force extra-judicially killed six young Igbos (Ekene Isaac Mgbe, Ifeanyi Ozor, Chinedu Meniru, Paulinus Ogbonna, Anthony and Augustina Arebu) in Apo-Abuja. Till this day none of the police officers accused of this shockingly evil crime has been brought to justice. 9) On 18th of February 2006 in Maiduguri and in almost all the northern states of Nigeria , the Muslims protesting over the publication of the cartoon of Prophet Muhammad by a Danish newspaper killed more than 100 Igbo. The Muslims attacked Christians and burned churches in the deadliest confrontation yet in the whirlwind of Muslim anger over the drawings. 10) From March 2006 to July 2007, hundreds of Southerners were killed in almost all the northern states of Nigeria especially in Jos. The crisis was between Muslims and Christians. 11) On October 8, 2007, another religious violence again broke out in Northern Nigeria in a row over the publication of the cartoon of Prophet Muhammad by a Danish newspaper and over 100 of people were massacred, majority of them Igbos. 12) Between March 11, 2010 and September 1, 2011 over 500 Christians were massacred outside Plateau state capital, Jos. This time the killings took place in a mainly Christian village of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau state. 13) On 24th April 2011, more than 1,000 were killed in post-election violence in Nigeria and among those killed were Obinna Okpokiri, who returned from London to serve his fatherland and was posted to Bauchi State, and Eucharia Remmy a graduate from the University of Nigeria in 2010, serving in Damaturu, Yobe State. Muslim youths launched protests in northern towns and cities after President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian from Biafra, was declared the winner of the 16 April election, defeating northern Muslim Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler. 14) On June 16, 2011, a Boko haram suicide bomber drove a car bomb onto the premises of the Louis Edet House in Abuja , the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force with a possible intention to kill Inspector-General of Police Hafiz Ringim whose convoy he followed into the compound. He was however limited by the concentration of security personnel within the entrance. The bomber and one Igbo traffic policeman were killed, though authorities said up to six people may have been killed. 15) On 26 August 2011, the Islamist group, Boko Haram claimed responsibility for an attack on the United Nations building in Abuja which left over 40 people dead most of them Igbo. 16) On September 25, 2011, five Igbo traders were shot dead at Madala Market, outskirts of Abuja on Thursday Night between 7-8pm. According to the report, the gunmen stormed the Madala market and made straight to a shop believed to be that of some Igbo traders and ordered them to recite the Holy Quran which they could not do. The gunmen who were not satisfied with the development opened fire on the five people at close range leaving them dead immediately. The five casualties were later identified as John Kalu, Oliver Ezemah, Uche Nguweze, Sunday Emmanuel. The fifth casualty is yet to be identified. 17) On December 25, 2011 Boko Haram claimed responsibility for Christmas Day Bomb attacks at St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Madala - near the capital Abuja - which left more than 50 Igbos dead. Mr Dike and his children were roasted alive. 18) On January 5, 2012 more than 43 Igbos and other southerners were killed in Adamawa State north-eastern Nigeria . The first victims, 16 in all, were murdered on Friday night during a service at the Christ Apostolic Church , Yola, the state capital. Twenty-seven others described as mourners had been killed earlier on that day at Mubi by gunmen while they were meeting at the residence of another Igbo man who had been shot dead by Bokko Haram Islamist terrorist group a day earlier to plan for his burial. 19) On January 11, 2012 Boko Haram terrorists shot dead four Igbo men who were believed to be fleeing violence-torn Maiduguri , residents said." Their car had just pulled up at a filling station outside the town to refuel when suspected Boko Haram gunmen in another car also pulled up and opened fire on the Igbos, killing them on the spot." 20) On Monday Jan 16, 2012 members of the Boko Haram terrorist group again shot dead five Southerners in their homes in Maiduguri . Three people among those shot dead have been confirmed as Igbos. 21) On 21st January 2012 at 2:55 GMT, more than 250 Southerners were killed in a series of bombings and attacks by Islamist zealots in the northern Nigerian city of Kano . The terrorist group, Boko Haram, claimed responsibility for the attacks. 22) On 16 March 2012, Mr John Nubrim was visibly traumatised after fleeing the north-eastern town of Maiduguri following attacks by the terrorist group, Boko Haram. According to him, "Only God knows how I escaped from that Maiduguri . They bomb over there." "They burned my shed. All my property, all my things, are there," said the young electronics trader, before letting out a short scream. "My parents, my brother and one of my sons died there." 23) On February 3, 2012, men of the terrorist group, Boko Haram, struck early in the morning in Ajaokuta, Kogi State , killing four southerners. A police station and a first generation bank were burnt by the group. In another incident, at least six Igbo were killed in Maiduguri by the same Boko Haram. 24) On August 8, 2012, Boko Haram terrorists attacked a church in Okene, Kogi State with guns killing so many Igbos. On the same day, an IED was discovered in another church in Lokoja, Kogi state which exploded and killed more than 20 Igbo. 25) On Monday 19th March 2013, the whole world woke up to the sad news about the explosion of five luxurious buses by Boko Haram at Sabo-Ngari area in Kano State Nigeria, killing over 250 southerners and maiming several others, mostly Igbos. 26) On Friday May 24, 2013 at about 7:30pm. Kano Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Magaji Majiya confirmed to 247ureports.com that unknown gunmen believed to be Boko Haram terrorist group struck the Kurna Asabe area of Kano and shot dead two Igbo business men- a Vulcanizer and an Electronics dealer. Both victims hailed from Nsukka, Enugu State and were identified as Ibe Ugwuanyi, 30 (Vulcanizer) and Eke Osita Joseph, an Electronics dealer, 35. 27) A dark cloud of mourning enveloped the Ezihe-Umueze kindred in Uga community, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, as the people awaited the return of their kinsman, Mr Nnamdi Ezebuala whose three children were killed in the latest Boko Haram bombing incident that occurred on July 29, 2013 in Sabongari, Kano. This very man eventually died from wounds he sustained from the bombs which killed his three children. They were all buried the same day; four of them. 28) On September 2, 2013 gunmen on the rampage swept through three states of Borno, Kaduna and Plateau in Northern Nigeria killing more than 50 Biafrans. 29) On September 3, 2013 more than five Christians were forced from their vehicle in Jos and executed in a ditch in the latest attack by Boko Haram terrorist group. It was reported that these five individuals were executed by the terrorist group after declaring themselves followers of Jesus Christ. 30) ABUJA , Fri Sep 20, 2013 12:32pm EDT (Reuters) - At least seven southerners were killed by the terrorist group Boko Haram in the capital Abuja . 31) On 28th September 2013, Boko Haram terrorists bombed three banks and killed 4 in Kaduna . Heavily armed Boko Haram terrorist members bombed three commercial banks in Saminaka, headquarters of Lere local government area of Kaduna State and four lives were lost in the attack. 32) Early in 2013, hundreds of people of Igbo extraction were physically deported from Lagos by the Lagos State Governor and dumped at the Niger Bridge-head in Onitsha for no justifiable reason. Which country in the history of the world has ever deported its citizens from one part of the country to another? The only instance that comes to mind is the transportation of Jews by the German SSS to death chambers during the Second World War. The Indigenous People of Biafra has determined that only in the Sovereign State of Biafra will they really be safe and assured of their basic inalienable human rights. Of course, there are those we cannot omit stating in clearer terms: 1.
