Hateful Song Calling For Igbo Genocide In Circulation In The North – Group Raises Alarm
A group, Foundation for Peace Professionals has released a statement about an incitement and hateful song currently being circulated in Northern Nigeria allegedly against the Igbos.
”Foundation for Peace Professionals has in its possession, a hate and inciting song, obtained through the social media and currently circulating in Northern Nigeria. We urge the Federal Government to take immediate action to avert the Rwanda Genocide experience that may likely occur as a result of the destructive song.
The trending song, which was voiced by an unknown female artist in Hausa language, was carefully worded, with the intention of causing deliberate mass incitement of Nigerians from the North against those from the Igbo extraction. This is a serious matter that must be addressed with the speed of light if the current peace shall be preserved.
In our candidate estimation, the song is a threat to national security and we can’t imagine the extent of genocide that may likely occur, should the Federal Government not mobilize all resources within its capacity to avert the catastrophic response that may break out in the next few weeks, if not days.
The song is dangerous, inciting and capable of drawing the country into another civil war and we must act fast to stop it.
We are using this opportunity to call on the Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of the acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, all security agencies, all Northern Governors and traditional rulers, particularly in fragile states like Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Bauchi, Borno, Yobe and others to immediately take steps, not only to withdraw the song from circulation and embark on extensive media advocacy in Hausa to counter the deadly incitement, but to also mobilize strategic security responses to address any reaction that may break out as a result of the hate song. This is an emergency that must be taken with all seriousness.
All Northern leaders must with immediate effect, condemn and dissociate themselves from this barbaric song and urge the people never to attack any Nigerian of Igbo extraction living in the North.
While we strongly condemn those who produced the song and circulated it on the social media, we urge them to understand that the fire they are about to light may not spare them.
Finally, inciting the masses into committing genocide against a people is not the best way to respond to whatever situation. We urge all Nigerians to cherish peace and continue to work towards building a better understanding.”

Hateful songs or speech or message by the Northern youth is somehow disheartened, & circulating such hate songs or speech against people of the Eastern part, just because they identify with a struggle called Biafra is uncalled for. This is exactly how Rwanda genocide started, I have listen to it, if U want to also hear it here is the link:
AUDIO AND TRANSCRIPT: Anti-Igbo Song in Hausa Language Now In Circulation | Sahara Reporters http://saharareporters.com/2017/08/05/audio-and-transcript-anti-igbo-song-hausa-language-now-circulation#.WYcYupAzBus.whatsapp
If the Northern youth so much believed in turning the North around for better, that will attract people of all extraction, they should have channel such hateful songs or message into eliminating the things that are bedeviling the North such as boko haram, Fulani herdsmen & religion extremists & Almajiri menace etc. I believed if they do that, the North will be a save Haven for the people in this great country.
I rest my case.
God bless my country Nigeria.

Now that a bad song is on the air on Ibos you people are now shouting, crying, wailing. You people started this war of words by calling your fellow human beings animals, hausa/fulani slave, lazy people, cowards, touts, beggars etc so you now realise that bad words are not good. U created enemies for yourselves You believed that you have the monopoly of everything & u people are only perfect tribe in the country. You are now reaping the fruits of what u have sown. Call me any name u like , i have known it as ur trade mark.

Singing song means nothing; let them do their worst.Action speaks louder than song;every tribe is very much ready for anything in this dead country, it will never be as it was before.

I will hate to see such thing happening, and I will be among those who will be praying that the Almighty God in His infinite mercy prevent this calamity. But it must be pointed quite sincerely that Nnamdi Kanu the IPOB leader has contributed immensely to this quagmire through his hate speeches. You want to disintegrate, ok fine, but must you call people animals, pigs, children of satan and so forth in your campaigns for
separation. Can’t it be done in a more civilized manner and approach?

@ Omoh; Remember things have change. 1967 is not 2017. Any how hausa/foolani want it we Biafras are ready. Biafra is my Identity. If hausa/foolani will be proud of Arewa then why won’t i be Proud of BIAFRA? Nigeria is a fail state. AT THE MENTION OF BIAFRA EVERY ANTI BIAFRA WILL DIE.
