Recall that the group had also directed northerners residing in the East to within three months relocate back to the North.
The spokesman of the group, AbdulAziz Suleiman while briefing newsmen in Kaduna had earlier said, “All northern civil society and pressure groups are by this declaration mandated to mobilize for sustained, coordinated campaigns at their respective State Government Houses, State Houses of Assembly, Local Government Council Secretariats and Traditional Palaces to mount pressure for steps to be taken to ensure enforcement of the directives contained herein.
“The North hereby openly calls on the authorities and other national and international stakeholders to acknowledge this declaration by taking steps to facilitate the final dissolution of this hopeless union that has never been convenient to any of the parties.
”From today, June 6, 2017, when this proclamation is signed, the North, a critical player in the Nigerian project, hereby declares that it will no longer be disposed to coexisting with the Igbos and shall take definite steps to end the partnership by pulling out of the current federal arrangement.”
But in a u-turn on Wednesday, Comrade Yerima Shettima, President, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, and Isaac Balami, Arewa Consultative Forum Congress’ President, appealed to Nigerians not to panic.
In a video footage obtained by DAILY POST, Balami said the Northern groups had observed how the issue was “being discussed globally.”
He said the groups will create a platform to discuss the outrage and condemnation trailing the eviction threat.
His words: “This is not the time for us to discuss separation. We need to come together. Arewa is know for peace.
“It is obvious that the initial approach was not the best. We need to work together as a nation
“I want to tell Nigerians living at home and in diaspora that there is hope. This nation is going no where.
“Shettima here wants to assure that everything that he has done was in good faith. This is one Nigeria and we are going nowhere.”
*Isnt this even worse then what Nnmadi Kanu did or same?They should be given same treatment...chikena!
Foolish people,who wants to stay here kwanu?
ReplyDeleteOh dear!
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, always think before you talk, damage control isn't always effective.
But they started a national conversation on this matter. Now we know majority of igbos don't even support Kanu and ipob but are being collectively gathered together with them.
DeleteI don't like commenting on posts like this.
ReplyDeleteI only saw a line - Arewa is known for peace! The white man calls this bullshit. Arewa is known for everything but peace. Blood sucking demons. Una wan collect property wey una lazy ass no fit work for
DeleteLMAO. So you igbos want to eat ur cake and have it. You don't want pple to benefit from your stupidity. The moment you leave the zoo, everything in the zoo becomes thier own. Pls come and be going.
DeleteI hate cursing and I hate the whole biafra thing and yes I am igbo but the statement you made above shows you are a huge tribaist!
DeleteMay God forgive you.
See them, aboki na cow. Thinking with an empty thick skull.... Wicked cows in human skin.
ReplyDeleteNortherners are just one useless and wicked set of people/cows... Always jealous of Igbos because we are successful... They don't want to let us go because we are the pillar that holds Nigeria...
Lekwa ha... Ndi efulefu.
When I read comments like this, it saddens my heart really and it goes a long way to show how some people's mind works. . whew!
DeleteLMAO....... Heartbreaker don't get worked up on his comments. The guy is always reasoning like a ghoul on tramadol.tribal bigot.
DeleteWhat do u mean by don't get worked up by his comments. What is d difference between Chike's comment and yours?. I thought you are cool girl anupam. Stella Nwanyi-Germany biko post my comment.
DeleteWhat is the difference between your comment @omotola (the one your left above talking about igbo stupidity) and what chike said??
DeleteAin't you also tribalistic? Go and read your comment above and prove me otherwise
Anonymous 10:49, there's a lot difference between us Abeg. Don't even put me so low to his level. Have you ever seen me make a tribal comments even when my tribe were been bashed. His own is becoming too much Abeg.
DeleteSo unfortunate you didn't see anything wrong with his comments but pick up offence for mine. Bunch of hypocrites.
DeleteFab mum , shut up, if you must caution Omotola, also caution your silly Chike. If you do not see anything wrong in his comments, then there is nothing wrong with the young lady's comment as well.
DeleteDon't be going anon on me please..
DeleteI mentioned a name with my blog name. Do me well by doing the same and don't be a coward.

DeleteWell said @Chike
Delete100% correct!
DeleteBloody sucking fools
ReplyDeleteThe only thing running through that head of theirs is how to maim and kill.
More reason why I want Biafra
How can someone be coexisting with these kind of people?
Such a shame.
So you want Biafra too? My coded love for you just tripled.
Delete👍❤
DeleteKanu is definately worse because he still wants to break the nation up.
ReplyDeleteThese ones reacted stupidly to Kanu's wahala. They have apologised and want to dialogue after being called to order.
Kanu on the other hand has not apologied and Is insistent on his agitation... He semsationalised his extreme greedy agenda which led to so much hate. Please igbos speak up and say Kanu does not speak for you. Let's have one great country. It would have been devastating if the arewa guys did not succumb to and obey the federal government. Forget your pride right now and apologise for wanting to break up Nigeria and let's build Nogeria together. There is too much at stake oh. Kanu and his rich sponsors have cushions abroad. It is you who have swear it out in Nigeria who will be left to bear the brunt. Let there be peace please
Appology my foot.
DeleteThe unrest they have caused in the past 2 days should not be swept under the carpet by just a mere appology.
Do u have any idea what there statements has caused us as a nation
Do u know how many international companies have cancelled foreign trips or businesses to Nigeria
Do u know how many international organization that now see nigeria as unstable and so will not come in to do business with us.
They both should be arrested and tried for causing public unrest with their statements in the country.
The can appologise to Nigerians behind bars.
El-rufai must arrest this nitwitts
So Kanu shutting down one part of the country is okay abi? Kanu is self imposed and spreading hate.. I really feel sorry for you. I hope these people don't snap.
DeleteNa WA for you oh... You are the one that said you want to go. Should we tie you down? Nobody is begging you oh please chike.
DeleteNigeria is made up of three different ethnic groups with different religious belief, culture and character. The only way peace will reign is let everyone go. Since democracy is either hausa man become the president or Yoruba man. Igbos that are the pillar of Nigeria, they don't want us there.
ReplyDeleteKitikpa lacha kwa Unu anya there. Ndi uchu.
Give us Biafra... Simple
Yes Stella. Same treatment should be giving to them. If it doesn't happen, then that's injustice. He should be arrested and jailed for threatening the peace of the nation. Dss better pick him up.
ReplyDeleteNo Stella, you can't compare what they did to Kanu. Kanu had radio station he used to carry his propaganda war. he threaten the government of the day and was caught on videos and meetings he heard in America hotels with his members. He came into Nigeria with a different passport bearing someone's name. Some of his members arrested had guns.That alone is a big treason.
ReplyDeleteNow this guys up there can deny their threat or say someone else wrote it because it wasn't on record up until now that they had video. But the government need to arrest this kind of individuals faming the amber of hate among its citizens.
I am telling you.. Kanu is dangerous and calculating. Thing is if he continues to push for Biafra, there is no way people will live in peace with igbos because they would be seen as traitors and would not be trusted at all. Educated igbos need to say no to Kanu whilst you still can
DeleteGod bless you SDK. Goodness, mercy and wealth shall follow you all the days of your life.
ReplyDeleteMay Chukwuabiama punish Lord lugard and his unborn generations for the horrendous act he carried out in 1914. You dont't rob peter to pay paul!

Ndi Igbo is better you start building in your territories now before it is too late.stop building in Hausa land,come and develop your own.unu adi any ife.
ReplyDeletePls don't tell them. History will surely repeat itself.
DeleteTroll how many times will you comment? Female bigot. Bvees should take note of this girl. She is nothing but a snake.
DeleteReally, like seriously I'm now a snake for saying the honest truth. But you pple bash my tribe everytime and we don't see you as sly cos we believe everyone is entitled to their opinions. So pls swerve.
DeleteOmotola thank you jere
DeleteOne Nigeria please! I thank God for our leaders.
ReplyDeleteReading comments, you just have to come to terms with the fact that we are sitting on a time bomb . To think these are the same people that will see you on a daily basis and smile yet they can kill you because of this amount of bile they vomit online .. it's scary oh.. I hope you guys fueling this matter will be able to contain what is to come ... I'm already seeing the end from the beginning if we continue this way.
ReplyDeleteMay God help us receive sense .

You dey mind them tribal bigot. By the time they start facing the consequences, they shouldn't claim genocide.
DeleteMay God never allow us to face evil in nigeria. The govt should take care of this issue.
DeleteFG take not there has never been a smoke without fire, igbos are being treated as an out-cast in country they call theirs, so tell me why they shouldn't demand for separation.
ReplyDeleteMy prayer is that God should give the vp the wisdom to resolve this sectional problems. I am always very scared when I think of what will happen if another war should break out. I know little minded people like Omotola thinks it is all about the federal government using its latest fighter jets to exterminate the igbos in the east. The question is this, what happens to the igbos scattered all over Nigeria? Do you think the will keep quiet? My fear is that they may become terrorists. You know igbos know how to take things to another level. Their own terrorism will not be compared to what book haram is doing. He who has ears , let him hear. The federal government needs to resolve these problems now, else all of us are doomed.
ReplyDeleteThe yorubas cannot take 0.1 percent of the marginalization the igbos have taken. They are very cunning. They think is all about acquiring our properties again, Let me ask this question, when Nigeria got it independence from Britain, did the British confiscate their properties in UK? The answer is no. You guys should know that an average Igbo man will rather die than have anybody take away the property he acquired with his sweat. I will not be what it was during the last Biafran war. Let the govt address the marginalization before all of us are caught in the ranging fire.
ReplyDeleteYou are 100% right about the cunning part. This is probably the 97th time I'm hearing this
