Nigerians have been warned to be cautious of another civil war looming as long as equity and fairness is denied some sections of the country.

President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Nnia Nwodo, who gave the warning in a statement on Saturday said with the current structural imbalance in the political spectrum of the country, the nation is heading towards collapsing violently.

The Ohanaeze chieftain said as long as the North sees no wrong in scheming other zones out politically, it will not augur well for the country.

The adminstration of President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused of lopsidedness, which according to some quarters, has furthermore divided Nigerians along ethnic lines.

“There is no future for Nigeria. As long as the north decides to be unreasonable and unrealistic, this country can never get better,” Mr Nwodo said.

“The country is only heading for implosion as long as equity and fairness is denied some sections of the country. The only solution is restructuring or the country will eventually hit the rocks – if not today, tomorrow. What does it cost to be fair and live in peace?

“Certainly, nobody will blame anybody if emotion runs high and the thread holding the country becomes thin and snaps.

“No condition is permanent in life. There are ominous signs and the clouds are gathering. Let the remaining generation that witnessed the Nigerian civil war recant and save the country from the cataclysm that will envelop her if the upcoming generation are allowed to inherit the callousness and wickedness pervading the land now. Nigerians beware of civil war,” the leader of the socio-cultural group warned.

The South-East region in 1967 proclaimed its domain a sovereign state, dissociating from Nigeria. Their actions led to the first civil war which dragged on until 1970 when the secessionists gave up and were reunited back into the country.

Another secessionist group, Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) championing the restoration of the Biafra State, has been proscribed despite the group being a non-violent one.

Meanwhile, a former Secretary to Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has told the people of the region to blame themselves for the political woes that has befallen them.

We don't need any war,we only need our sovereign nation Biafra either by hook or crook.


war or no war Biafra must be actualize

This idiot should be arrested and send to jail. However if another civil war breakout in this modern day of technology advancement ,that would spell doom for any region federal government confronted.

The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), a platform of distinguished Nigerians committed to securing and protecting democracy in Nigeria, met at the weekend in Lagos "to rise and defend democracy in our dear country." Below is the statement issued at the end of the meeting attended by chieftains such as Dr. Amos Akingba, Chiefs Ayo Opadokun and Ayo Adebanjo and many others including the group's Chairman, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu:

The events in the Southeast and in particular, Abia State, which was invaded with a large contingent of the soldiers amount to an unconstitutional and gradual takeover of power by the military.

On Sunday September 10 2017, the Nigerian Armed Forces invaded Southeast Nigeria, and in particular Abia State with a large contingent of soldiers, armored tanks and other military paraphernalia. In Abia State, the soldiers' invaded communities, tortured civilian population, over-awed the constitutionally elected governor and civil institutions of the state, and declared the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) a terrorist organisation, in defiance of the judgment of the Federal High Court. All of these actions are unconstitutional and represent an illegal take-over of the functions of the National Assembly, the Abia State House of Assembly and the legal authorities.

The Army High Command has announced further that the "Operation Python Dance" will be a regular event and that another similar activity named "Operation Crocodile Smile" will be carried out in the South South and Southwest.

The actions of the Military, we restate are inconsistent with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and may be the beginning, if not checked, of the unwitting or witting subversion of democracy in Nigeria.

We therefore call for an urgent action by Nigerians to see to it that we put a stop to this gradual return to military rule. All lovers of democracy in Nigeria need to stand up and raise their voices against this retrogressive political development in our country.

NADECO has long affirmed that the way to restore justice, equity and fair play to our polity is to return to True Federalism. It is rather unfortunate that some political actors are trying to confuse Nigerians regarding the true meaning of federalism. This effort to misinform, especially by some political parties, is a dangerous play and deceitful ploy.

The 1959 and the 1963 Federal and Regional constitutions of Nigeria described essentially what True Federalism is. For emphasis may we remind us what true federalism means:

- Independent federating units come together to form a federation.

- These federating units cede some of their powers and responsibilities to the central government.

- The federating units provide the resources to run the services ceded to the central government.

- The federating units maintain their autonomy to run their affairs without let or hindrance, outside those services or responsibilities they have collectively transferred to a central government.

That is true federalism in short. But the problem with Nigeria, and what is causing all the agitations and instability, is that we have an inverted federation, which the military converted Nigeria to.

Here, it is now the Central Government (Federal) that is creating the federating units, they now collect all the resources and decide what to give to the federating units; they take all the powers and cede what they like to the so-called federating units. This is the problem.

All the cry for restructuring is simply to restore the Nigeria Federation to a proper federation. Why should this offend some people to the extent that they are now using every method including military incursion to prevent it?

Attention of all is here drawn to the undeniable fact that to date, No, repeat No, political leader in/of the so-called North has done as much as the Sardauna; no political leader in/of the so-called East has done more than Michael Okpara; and no political leader in and of the West (mid-West inclusive) has done as much or more than Chief Obafemi Awolowo. If any "political leader" has, let him or her rise and say so. Why was, why is that so? It is indisputably obvious that the structure (True Federalism) they were operating was a big, indeed the major foundational and contributory factor.

It is clear to us that unless Nigerians fully understand and address what is at stake, those who benefit from the continued instability of Nigeria will continue to create confusion and delay Nigeria from achieving its manifest destiny.

NADECO, a platform constructed by distinguished Nigerians, former Nigerian Public Office Holders, leaders of ethnic nationalities, civil society organisations, labour unions, professional and business leaders, youth and women among others is disturbed by the current seeming attempts by partisan political operators and others tending to confuse the Nigerian public and particularly our young people about the clear and unambiguous meaning of federalism, which universally represents a system of government whereby there is a distribution of power particularly between a central government and the constituent units wherever it is practised as opposed to centrist/unitary government.

Nigerian Independent Constitutional Arrangement was a Federal System in 1960. Federalism as a term had been more than sufficiently and critically explained and understood by peoples of Nigerians through the strategic advocacy of NADECO, its various affiliate bodies and activists in various fora since 1994.

The word "True" came into our national narratives partly as a result of the annulment of June 12, 1993 election that was won by Basorun MKO Abiola, and whereby the sectional politicians in military uniform led by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. Sani Abacha got him, MKO arrested for claiming his just mandate, detained him, humiliated him, and eventually got him killed.

Good morning to Ohaneze. When the people in NADECO started the restructuring chorus, Ohaneze was silent. Some even tried to color it a Yoruba agenda.

this is getting boring abeg..who dem dey use war threaten?..rabbish!!

Bring it on Igbos. Start another war and give the Nigerian Army life specimen for shooting practice.

Over three million of you were used for pepper soup and suya and more millions of your mothers, sisters, aunties, daughters and nieces were used as sex slaves were you declared war against the Federal Republic in 1967, yet you are still shouting and threatening war, go on, do it, pick up arms and ammunition against the Federal Republic again and let's settle this once and for all.

The Fulanis will be happy to use the Biafra land for Cattle Colony and Gracing while Yorubas will use the remaining for Cocoa Farm.

the 3 million died as a result of starvation ,nigeria is yet to defeat boko haram

How soon can Ohaneze start the war. Enough warning

kettykin:

No need for explanation, just call your people on phone and tell them to attack the nearest military barracks. Then you will see that the Nigerian Army that cannot defeat Boko Haram can wipe out the Igbos in a twinkle on an eye

if a 1967 ogbunigwe wiped out an entire division of the Nigerian army in Abagana then a 2019/2020 ogbunigwe will not only wipe out an entire army division but wipe out entire cities if well designed and implemeted , my only desire is that ipob is not ready , no real alliances and no
research and developement going on

There was no ogbunigwe that wiped out an entire division of anything. Not even an ants colony.
This is one thing I will never understand about Ibos. Why do you always need to project a certain image even when you have to lie to do it?

even during the war what could nigerian military do besides starving women and children, the worst they have done and the worst biafra did which is worse , biafran military destroyed 2nd division of the nigerian army with a single weapon , the destroyed 3rd armoured division twice and they killed a serving nigerian COAS , nigeria's only hope is britain and russia.

if both countries denounce nigeria this moment then the attack you requested can happen

Lies.

During GEJ administration, some zones were not in top 11 ..and no shouting. When you pitch your tent with losers.. you have to reap from it.

Guestlander:


Lies.

you can check the link below , how a biafran major witha handfull of poorly armed biafran soldiers defeated a whole division led by a Nigerian General killing 98% of his troups , after the incident Murtala Mohamed went on self exile
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abagana_Ambush


The Abagana Ambush (March 31, 1968) was an ambush by Biafran guerrilla troops led by Major Jonathan Uchendu that wiped out the Nigerian 2 Division.[9] Of the 6,000 Nigerian troops ambushed, only a very small number survived, including the 2nd Division's commander, General Murtala Muhammad.

Yet to spell doom for Bokoharam.

Children gloating about war as if they know the meaning

i seriously dont pray war breaks out ,but per adventure nigieria foolishly bring war to biafra then ogbunigwe 2.0 that would wipe out entire nigerian towns and cities will not be ruled out .

Thanks

Those three million sex slaves are heroes.. they fought kept ur nation standstil for years. they are remembered, and will be for generations to come.

but how about u people?uncircumcised cows torture ur people, ur farm lands are their dung sites.. a single cow has more value to ten of your people.. u hide inside mortals and pots..
who's the coward?
Cowards die many times before their death.. but the valiant never tastes of death but once.

From the comments on here, it's quite obvious and glaring how much the Yorubas despise the Igbo; supporting injustice they would never accept and wishing the Igbos dead. No problem.

Igbos have to be extremely patient to achieve their destiny. For now, keep observing.
