Sixteen northern youth groups rose from a joint meeting in Kaduna on Tuesday to give Igbo residing in their states up to October 1, 2017 to vacate the region. The youth organisations in attendance at the Kaduna meeting included Arewa Citizens Action for Change, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Arewa Youth Development Foundation, Arewa Students Forum and Northern Emancipation Network on the Igbo Persistence for Secession.

Dear President Buhari, I’ve written and rewritten this post many times in my head, but I think today, being halfway into your tenure would be the best time to publish. A Quick Flashback A few weeks to the 2015 elections, I was caught by a squad of policemen for making an illegal u-turn somewhere in Ilupeju. The police quickly told me I should settle or I’d be in for a heavy fine of about N25 000. With a smirk on my face, the arrogance of a kingsman and the pidgin of a Benin boy, I said to him “Oga, I no go fit give you moni, we na Buhari people, we no dey give bribe”. The man couldn’t believe it. He asked why he should support you, and I went “for starters, dem no go dey chop una moni again and you no go need wear this kain uniform ”. Yes, you emboldened me. He asked where I was from and I told him Anambra. He muttered “Ah. Igbo boy dey support Buhari?”, I said “Yes o, we no too many but we dey”. Our conversation concluded with him saying “you too believe this ma...
