I choose to follow silently on the issue of the Quit Notice given the Igbos by the Hausa youths to vacate the North just until recently I got to see with my own eyes the 'ticking bomb' set to detonate anytime soon. And its likely going to blast on some innocent lives.
Few days back I went out with a fellow corper to seek accommodation for the new set of corp members posted to my PPA ( place of primary assignment). I kicked off my 'hunt' for a house by visiting 4 different houses but they all asked me a similar questions and each after my reply they all said 'Corper, sorry o, NO HOUSE'(even when it was obvious they have vacant ROOMS).
'How many Hausas dey among dem?"
This is the same question everyone I visited asked and as fate will have it, 6 corp members were posted and 4 are from the North.
Due to the issue quit notice given to the Igbos in the Northern part of the country, the Igbos here as well has decided to retaliate by discriminating against anyone from the there (North).
The danger now is the fact that corp members from the Northern side of the country are not save. Peradventure any attack is carried out against the igbos in the North, all Hausas around here becomes the easiest and the first target of retaliation. And truth be told, there is no assurance the attacks will be solely for the Hausas, other tribes are vulnerable too.
Let the Government know that this is history about to repeat itself right under our nose and if careful and necessary steps are not taken promptly, then May God save us all.
