Where are those who fought the Igbos in 1967?
This question becomes pertinent because not a few northerners are
living in denial.The Yorubas who fought alongside the North in 1967 are today wishing they never did and the reasons are too obvious not to be seen.
The Middle Belters in the mould of Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom are today wishing the north everything but good.
The Niger Deltans are no different. They own the goose that lays the golden eggs, yet they beg for eggs.
So where are the Nigerians that are ready to take on the East, a second time?
Maybe the remnants of Boko Haram or the Bandits?
The East does not need threats but what the United Nations wants for all citizens of the world - a right to self determination. No more no less.

No wonder people celebrate being given citizenship of other countries. Surprisingly, it was PMB who as military Head of State declared that we have no other country but Nigeria.
How then as President, Nigerians celebrate being given citizenship of other countries?
What has changed?
1. The death of Tunde Idiagbon?
2. The incarceration of PMB by IBB?
