hehehe......Barely one week after some youths ordered Igbos resident in northern Nigeria to vacate, findings by us have shown that some Igbo citizens in the region are gradually relocating.
Recall that a coalition of Northern Youth Groups, in what they tagged: “The Kaduna Declaration” had given all Igbos residing in any part of Northern Nigeria three months to relocate to their places of origin.
A visit to some motor parks in northern Nigeria on Thursday showed that many Igbos are already returning to the East to avoid being harmed.
When this reporter visited the God is Good Motor Park in Mando, Kaduna State on Thursday, the park was filled to the brim with Igbos, who are heading to their country home.
“I have been in this place for thirty years but I think I have overstayed my welcome here. I will take my family to the village and return by next week to sell off some of my belongings,” he said.
Another lady, who gave her name as Chioma Okoye, said she sells second hand clothes at the Kaduna Central market in Kaduna.
“I want to go and rest for a while. I really don’t know what these people are up to. I will come back when they are ready to accommodate us,” she said.
Similarly, a trip to the Kofar Ruwa Market park of the Peace Mass Transit in Kano also showed that Igbos are already returning to their hometowns in droves.
Our reporters spotted some persons with their belongings, including, mattresses, cooking pots, boxes of clothes, and other home appliances.
When our reporter approached one of the travelers, who gave his name as Mazi Obiekwe, he angrily said, “go and ask Buhari and his kinsmen why they want us to leave their land.”
When prodded further how long he has been in Kano, he simply said, “Seems they sent you after me this morning. Don’t let me invoke ‘amadioha’ to punish you.”
