Igbo Quit Notice - What Arewa and the rest of Nigeria Forgot

For years the great people of the middle-belt, south south and south east were very accommodating and allowed Fulani herdsmen graze openly and without restriction on their lands with the understanding that the stay clear of farmland. Initially these people tolerated these nomadic Fulani who have no true home and allowed them graze on their land without paying any fees except for the occasional tribute to the local chief.  These people were so accommodating the allowed these Fulani and Hausa merchants to buy land and or build houses and because of their strange habits and religion many towns outside the north allowed for the creation of Hausa quarters similar to Sabo gari in Kano. These natives were so accommodating the allowed new generations of these Fulani in these Hausa quarters to own the land and even allowed them to build mosques.

Northernization and Arewa's False Narratives

This video and attitudes discussed here is the official genesis of state sanctioned tribalism and the quota system in Nigeria. What the late Sultan fails to accept is that if you do not go to school and a cross section of your citizenry see Education as Harem and women are restricted to "ze orther room" and your subjects are more inclined to a Koranic education then you will end up with citizens not qualified to hold administrative positions requiring certification of knowledge or able to compete at the world stage with other tribes particularly the migrant Igbo in one Nigeria at that point in time.

He also abused president Buhari and "Awusa Fulani" in a highly inflammable manner in his quest to create an indigenous republic for Igbo people. Every action elicits an equal and sometimes overreaction and no proud group of people will stand by and not react to passive aggressive actions and accusations without comment or an equally loaded response. So, it comes as no surprise that various groups under the Arewa flag issued the "Kaduna Declaration" and appear not to be backing down despite calls for their arrests and for restraint.   The only difference is that IPOB and other BIAFRAN agitators are pursuing their mission non-violently, (and perhaps violently if they could) and passive aggressively while the Kaduna declarants not only issued an evacuation or...
