Misterdhee1:
The shallowness in this Writeup speaks volume of how pathetic Igbos are.

1. They talked about Boko Haram: Yet no single eastern state has witnessed any boko haram activity since the start of the insurgence. Boko haram is simply a crime against Northerners by few crazy Northerners. So what points are they trying to pass across by including it in their write-up? Stupidity!

2. Except these guys are 15 year olds, no sane individual can deny the fact that igbos led by Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna masterminded the first coup in Nigeria. And that that, played crucial role in the event leading to the civil war.

3.That igbos have been killed several times in the North is nothing but a baseless claim. Nigeria has always witnessed a lot of extra judicial killings across all the regions. Aside the single example cited in the article, i still can't remember any igbo killed in the north in the last few years. Hausas, Fulanis, Ijaws, Yorubas, and other tribes have been killed in the north. Same have been witnessed in the South. It has been an inclusive shit. And if truly igbos are being killed in large volumes as stated, then why are there still tons of igbos living and trading in the North

The fact remains that igbos have gained a lot from the union than any other tribe. There is no denying that without the largeness of the Nigerian market, most successful igbos would have been grounded. How many successful igbos are even based at home? Its really sickening to know that the same Igbos that promised to burn the zoo are the same people writing to UN for protection after being clapped back at.
You r a liar from d pit of hell. You soon forgot all your killings and looting?What do you tell pleatau ppl,Kaduna killings,Benue,Edo killings.pls cover ur head with shame.I wonder how u will leave with these ppl.

We are not animals. Only animals think of blood shed. We are cultured and learned youths, and we see impending danger through a well designed orchestrated evil plot to massacre innocent youths, that is why we are calling on the UN to intervene because this country has failed us and nobody is ready to listen to us already. There is so much hate for us already in the nation.
Refusing to be an animal (violent) is not cowardice.
You are really learned and cultured. In fact, it is written all over your body. So it is now you are learned and cultured but you have been stupid when your new god was giving hate speeches and ordering you to kill yorubas and Hausas and burning Yoruba churches in the east and you were hailing him. You are really cultured, in fact, culture itself is giving you Kudos.

Mr, i served in that region 2016-2017 and i can tell you i meet people with high intellectuals there. Those people understand that seccessation is not the answer and this is not they way.

Revolution or not, the fact is there isn't going to be a country named Biafra in the forseable future. This is because for as many that clamors for it, there exists a good number who say other wise. D so called Biafra agitators spend more time abusing other tribes (especially d northerners) than making their own case. This act of calling out others is what incites violence as a response from these other tribes.

I don't support the actions of the Arewa youths just like i don't support the actions of those who take to arms or retort to abuses in the name of Biafra because two wrongs can never make a right.
I believe everyone has the right to be heard provided they speak in the right way.

War bears no good fruits. Winners or otherwise, the cost is always too high
All these that are happening are the after effects of a civil war that occurred 50 years ago.

And i blame our former colonial masters as they were the ones who sowed the seeds of division in us when giving us independence.

Both northerners and igbos should take a page from the yorubas (the most peaceful and accommodating tribe in Nigeria)




Yorubas are fools

America controls The UN. White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) Freemasons and Jewish Financiers control America. The UN won't listen to this plea since its OWNERS probably won't make profits from helping IPOB. So, this might just be hopeless.

Plus, The UN can't push for a referendum in Nigeria since that would be an outright violation of our country's Sovereignty. Although The USA violated the Sovereignty of Pakistan by going there to kill their enemy (Bin Laden), something it could NEVER do in Moscow, but they had the excuse that Bin Laden was a threat. So, it is clear that America isn't particularly a power that strictly respects the Sovereignty of inferior nations.

If the northerners attack the Igbos after the 1st of October, the UN really might have an excuse to violate Nigeria's sovereignty. But only a lunatic will wish for that to happen. We must prevent that outcome at all costs. As for UN interference, it still boils down to what will be in it for them i.e whether there'll be something to gain.

No tribe in Nigeria has written tons of letter to UN but Igbos. Their voice is adorned with cries of victimisation. They are the loudest and the most cowardly of the more than 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria. what a yeye tribe!.
They alleged that history was stabbed in the back yet couldn't retort with a truer version. They think they can take enlightened Nigerians for their misguided kids who have been bastardized with lies & revisionism.
The North is really guiding through well, they called for UN attention and You have taken a bold step in that regard but for you to raise an unfounded alarm of genocidal attempt against the North who have always call for a non-violent exodus.
One begin to wonder what is so special about the parasitic North and the under-developed SW that the Ibos have refused to vacate these regions.
Let's hope your legislators and political leaders join forces with you and put UN under considerable pressure. We join our faith with yours but please for the umpteenth time, stop the blackmailing.

I don't have any new god. And that somebody made his opinion does not mean he is speaking the mind of everyone. And I have never hailed anyone for asking me to burn anyone's religious center (even though some people might have hailed him).
So, if a Yoruba man or an Hausa man releases insulting words against the igbos, does that mean I should be hostile to any single Yoruba or Hausa man I come across? I don't know you and you don't know me either. But we allow decisions and speeches of our leaders and spokesmen overrule our actions towards each other even on social media.

Youngadvocate:
The Ohanaeze Youth Council, Worldwide, OYC, has petitioned the United Nations, UN, asking that ndi Igbo in the North be granted special protection following the quit notice issued to them by a coalition of northern youths.

The council which is the youth wing of Ohaneze ndi Igbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization also, demanded that the United Nations begins preparation to conduct a referendum in Igbo land to finally determine the fate of their people.

This is following the letter written by the Arewa Youths to the Acting President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, in which they bashed Ndigbo over the continuous agitation for Biafra.

Recall the Arewa youths in the letter accused ndi Igbo of instigating various crisis in the country, including the first military coup as well as the civil war.

But in the letter to the UN by the OYC, said it was high time a referendum was conducted to pave way for the final end to the “unworkable marriage” called Nigeria.

The letter signed by the group’s national president, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike (National secretary) Amb Arthur Obiora (Dep National President) Engr Obinna Adobe (National Publicity Secretary) was copied to the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the United States Embassy in Nigeria, the UK Embassy, the Commonwealth, the Amnesty International, among others.

The letter was entitled: “A CALL FOR EMERGENCY IN NIGERIA- OUR TWO-POINT DEMAND.”

It reads in parts: “It is with great concern that we alert the international community of the looming genocide against the Igbos in the Northern part of Nigeria, occasioned by a well-orchestrated, carefully thought-after plot by the Northern hierarchy, who are hiding under the Arewa Youths.

“Their latest ranting, which they packaged a letter to the Acting President has left no one in doubt as to their motive: A GRAND DESIGN TO ANNIHILATE THE IGBO RACE. This, they want to achieve so easily through the well packaged false history, which they have now dished out to gullible minds in order to create a passion hatred for the Igbos in the minds of their people and thereby easily achieve the October 1 planned mayhem against our people.

“How else could one justify their attempt to stab history in the back by labelling the first military coup in Nigeria as an Igbo coup? How else could people twist history than their justifying the pogrom against the Igbos between 1966 and 1967, which eventually led to the civil war? In what measure can one justify the insult on our late leaders, in the persons of Late Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi and Late Col. Chukwuemeka Odumewgu Ojukwu?

“In Igbo land, we have respect not only for the elders, but more so for the dead and it if is for that purpose that we chose not to go further into this matter. Truth cannot never be changed. However, we must let these youths and their pay-masters know that contrary to their claims, our people have made much more sacrifices for the unity of this country, starting from the later Owelle of Onitsha, Nnamdi Azikiwe.

“To also justify their planned killing of every Igbo man remaining with the Biafra agitation amounts to hypocrisy of the highest magnitude. May we remind them for over a decade now, the Boko Haram did not just declare war on the Nigerian State but has gone ahead to seize territories, killed thousands of thousand and rendered millions homeless, yet nobody has branded it an action signed by the entire North. Besides, like the Arewa Youths pointed out in their hypocritical letter, the Biafra agitators have their demand for self-determination found in so many characters, including that of the UN, for which Nigeria is a signatory to. Where does the Boko Haram derive its own right to be engaging in mass murder?

“Our point here, however, is not on the propriety or otherwise of the attempt by Boko Haram to take over every Nigerian Nigeria territory or the Biafra agitation, but the difficult attempt by the Arewa Youths to link every Igbo man with the activities of the IPOB. If it is so, suffice it to say that all of them are members of the Boko Haram sect.

“May we also state that contrary to their claims that Ndigbo were being accommodated in every part of the country, our people have continued to be slaughtered like chickens, especially in the North, without justifiable reason. The case of Mrs. Bridget Agbahime, a pastor’s wife, who was murdered in cold blood will speak against these youths. The manner her case was muzzled by the Kano State Government will make her blood to cry forever against her shameless murderers.

“We, therefore, alert your attention to another impending massacre of the Igbos, especially with thick rumour of arms being stock-piled in the North in readiness for action. It is even more painful considering undenied claims that some security personnel were aiding the smuggling of these sophisticated arms through the porous land borders in the North.

“Suffice it to say, Sir, that the life of our people are now at a great risker. It does appear that the pogrom of the 60s is here to repeat itself again. There are indications that they are only waiting for the whistle to be blown for them to unleash another round of terror on our people.

“Giving the above, we urge the United Nations to beam its satellite on the Northern Nigeria ahead of any eventuality that may befall our people. Considering the manner the security agencies have handled these endless threats, it is unlikely that they may protect our people when these marauders will strike.

“Secondly and very importantly too, having seen that Igbos have remained the victims of this marriage called Nigeria, despite our sacrifices, we demand that the on-going constitutional amendment will not be acceptable should it not make provision for a referendum. It is high time people are given freedom to decide whether they want to remain in a country where they are not loved, not wanted but hated with passion.

“The National Assembly should make no mistake of undertaking any further constitutional amendment without an option for referendum, this is the only way to go and we urge the United Nations to mount all necessary international pressures on Nigeria to effect that very much needed amendment.”

Judging from the comment here on Nairaland, my neutral view is I do not think other tribes truly want Igbos to go as they, reason being if you want Igbos to go Y not support the move for referendum? Arewa requested referendum for Igbos and now Ohaneze requested referendum and some people are still unnecessarily angry. Why? IF WE TRULY WANT IGBOS TO GO WHICH I THINK THEY ALSO WANT IN MY OPINION LET US SUPPORT AN IGBO REFERENDUM. IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR REFERENDUM THEN YOU WANT THEM TO STAY ADMIT IT.

However, we must let these youths and their pay-masters know that contrary to their claims, our people have made much more sacrifices for the unity of this country, starting from the later Owelle of Onitsha, Nnamdi Azikiwe.

“To also justify their planned killing of every Igbo man remaining with the Biafra agitation amounts to hypocrisy of the highest magnitude. May we remind them for over a decade now, the Boko Haram did not just declare war on the Nigerian State but has gone ahead to seize territories, killed thousands of thousand and rendered millions homeless, yet nobody has branded it an action signed by the entire North. Besides, like the Arewa Youths pointed out in their hypocritical letter, the Biafra agitators have their demand for self-determination found in so many characters, including that of the UN, for which Nigeria is a signatory to. Where does the Boko Haram derive its own right to be engaging in mass murder?

“Our point here, however, is not on the propriety or otherwise of the attempt by Boko Haram to take over every Nigerian Nigeria territory or the Biafra agitation, but the difficult attempt by the Arewa Youths to link every Igbo man with the activities of the IPOB. If it is so, suffice it to say that all of them are members of the Boko Haram sect.

“May we also state that contrary to their claims that Ndigbo were being accommodated in every part of the country, our people have continued to be slaughtered like chickens, especially in the North, without justifiable reason. The case of Mrs. Bridget Agbahime, a pastor’s wife, who was murdered in cold blood will speak against these youths. The manner her case was muzzled by the Kano State Government will make her blood to cry forever against her shameless murderers.

“We, therefore, alert your attention to another impending massacre of the Igbos, especially with thick rumour of arms being stock-piled in the North in readiness for action. It is even more painful considering undenied claims that some security personnel were aiding the smuggling of these sophisticated arms through the porous land borders in the North.

“Suffice it to say, Sir, that the life of our people are now at a great risker. It does appear that the pogrom of the 60s is here to repeat itself again. There are indications that they are only waiting for the whistle to be blown for them to unleash another round of terror on our people.

“Giving the above, we urge the United Nations to beam its satellite on the Northern Nigeria ahead of any eventuality that may befall our people. Considering the manner the security agencies have handled these endless threats, it is unlikely that they may protect our people when these marauders will strike.

“Secondly and very importantly too, having seen that Igbos have remained the victims of this marriage called Nigeria, despite our sacrifices, we demand that the on-going constitutional amendment will not be acceptable should it not make provision for a referendum. It is high time people are given freedom to decide whether they want to remain in a country where they are not loved, not wanted but hated with passion.

“The National Assembly should make no mistake of undertaking any further constitutional amendment without an option for referendum, this is the only way to go and we urge the United Nations to mount all necessary international pressures on Nigeria to effect that very much needed amendment.”
