- The 30 days ultimatum
The threats didn’t start today!
Whenever the Fulani oligarchs don’t have their way on any burning issue they want, they use the Arewa youths to threaten the people.
I wouldn’t want to delve into the pogrom or even other riots that had nothing to with Southerners, but the turned the primary target.
In August 2017, Arewa youths threatened the Igbos in the North to vacate before October 1st or face being killed.
They released an anti Igbo song that was carefully worded to cause incitement.
It was spread throughout the social media, yet Buhari didn’t see it as threat to national security.
The federal government only sees anything Southerners and especially Igbo do as threat to National security.
IPOB members never bore arms; they were only protesting the injustices of the Nigerian government, yet the were proscribed.
Fulani herdsmen was designated the 4th deadliest terrorist organization by world terrorism index; and they have been massacring Nigerians in their thousands and with impunity, yet to the Federal government, it’s a not a threat to National Security.

Below is the transcript of that song that was circulated online in 2017.
TRANSCRIPT OF THE ANTI-IGBO SONG CALLING FOR GENOCIDE AGAINST NDI IGBO IN THE NORTH.
First I want to appeal to Almighty Allah to help me in this song not to deviate, these useless children of thieves and unemployed. Igbos in Nigeria have no sun.
Chorus:
Igbos (Inyamirin) are ungrateful people and fools
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.
Let’s drag and drag and see who will sleep in the sun,
Igbo land, in the beginning, has no name, they were helped to get name and identity. And that’s the beginning of their trouble.
