Attack On Ndigbo In The North Is An Attack On All Christians - Arewa Christians. by Masterclass32: 3:54am On Jul 31, 2017 |
Church leaders and Christians in the North under the aegis of tbe Arewa Christians and Indigenous Pastors Association (ACIPA) have said that though they are averse to any secessionist tendency from any part of the country, any attack on the Igbo living in any part of the North is tantamount to attack on entire Christians living in the North. They, however, called on the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to rise up to the occasion and stop Igbo youths from injuring the psyche and sensibilities of other Nigerians by their secessionist agitation. In a statement in Jos, signed the President, Rev. Luka Shehu, the group said , “Following the recent devisive, most provocating and dissident press statement by the Arewa Consultative Youth Forum And their Allies, The Odua Youth and the Niger Delta position, all threatening the peaceful co- existence of Nigeria, we are therefore compelled to make our position unequivocally clear as follows: “The attack on Igbos in the North is an attack on Christians in the north as well. We are aware of precedents in such antics. The quit notice to Igbos is a systematic attack to subdue Christianity and Christians in the North with a gradual plan to overrun Nigeria. “Suffice it to say that the Igbo leadership should take a bold step to refrain from provoking the psyche of Nigerians with the Biafra secession threat, we call on our Igbo brothers and sisters who are predominantly Christians to eschew the bitterness of never ever producing executive president either military or democratic since the first republic. While agreeing that their demand is legitimate, holding Nigeria to ransom or threatening Nigeria with another secessionist agenda is unacceptable as it is counter productive. “The Igbo should rather resort to employing civil democratic norm of negotiation, lobbying and politics of give and take to achieve their goals. The group said that singing another war song after the bitter and excruciating civic war, which lasted from 6th July 1967 to 15th January 1970, a period of two years, six months, two weeks and two days, is one thing the country could ill afford at this time. The statement added, “The costly war was regrettable and avoidable. Between 500,000 to two million Biafrans died mainly of starvation and military casualties on both sides were over 100,000 officers and men not to mention properties lost. The trauma as well as the economic and social implication of the War on Both Side was incalculably enormous. “Perhaps the proponents and pundits of a second Biafra Could Benefit from Ojukwu’s Counsel long after the Biafra War, “I Don’t think the Second one (War ) is necessary. We should have learned from the first one, otherwise the dead would have been to no Avail….” “Like the Signals today, the Nigeria Civil War is a result of Political, Economic ethnic Cultural and Religious tension and distrust. Those behind the war never thought of the sad band wagon effect and Consequences of their actions. On true federalism and the Rule of Law, ACIPA, “Like other true patriots and majority of Nigerians, we believe true federalism with a weak Centre will help Stabilize the Polity and meet sectarian demands. In the Same Vain we call on government to ensure Social justice and rule of law are applicable norms and practice in our society. Nothing Short of the Global Obtainable standard will be acceptable by Nigerians from this or any future administration. We are prepared to encourage negotiation and dialogue. www.sundiatapost.com/2017/07/30/attack-on-ndigbo-in-the-north-is-an-attack-on-all-christians-say-arewa-christians/ |

If the igbos honestly want Biafra. They should forthwith relocate to the east, within Biafran territory! If you are so angry with Nigeria and would no longer be a part of it, show some mettle, LEAVE! OR HENCEFORTH BE QUIET. If you are outside biafran territory and you are typing outrageously harsh, ridiculous, stuff about a country you are glued to like a parasitic tick something is definitely wrong with you. I see igbos in the most remote parts of the north earning a living. Igbos aren't stupid, they didn't leave juicy opportunities in the east to travel 12 horrendous hours from home. They know the truth deep within; IT'S A HARD LIFE IN THE EAST. The east is also yet to distinguish itself as an outlier, a place where justice and equal opportunities are available. Many Igbos searched for jobs for years in the east and lived in penury. Only when they left did they stabilise. If Biafra is created, will we import new, just and kind igbos from elsewhere? Many times after a riot in the north, thousands of igbos are killed. In the heat of the moment, they all relocate to the east, however none of them would last 2 months in the east. Go to kano and see, the threat to their lives in the north is better embraced than the prospects of earning livelihood in the east. Don't tell me about UN conventions protecting foreigners in another country. How well did the conventions help during the xenophobic attacks in south Africa? Till date no compensations. Igbos really need to think this true, no rush into secession like in 1967. Biafra currently has no allies, only evil countries quietly waiting to suck the east if war begins. None of this countries have made credible official statements about the struggle as they did for palestine, south sudan and others. Igbos aren't ready for Biafra. Just rushing without calculated thoughts. If you are part of the middle belt or south west insulting ipob doesn't in anyway serve your interest. I'll rather you be introspective. Which move in this power tussle would help you get a better deal from Nigeria? Are you oppressed in anyway? Who is the oppressor? Who invades your farms, rapes your women? Who has unleashed genocidal attacks on your communities in Agatu, Barkin Ladi, Nassarawa eggon e.t.c. I do not ask you to embrace or be part of Biafra, just apply wisdom. Don't make the mistakes of 1967. Igbos are not your real enemies! Shine your eyes! Finally I've said my mind after months of holding in. FYI I am a bonafide igbo like you hasty critics but I think with my brain not my heart. Be objective not emotional, BE INTERACTIVE NOT INSULTIVE LIKE A MATURED HUMAN |
