Secret ethnic fights in Nigeria
It started as nothing but gradually metamorphosed into ethic fight and defense. Currently there is unceasing agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB for an independent nation called Biafra. The agitation are mostly carried out by the Igbo's. Igbo is one the three most populated ethic groups in Nigeria. It is located in the South Eastern part of Nigeria, they are known for business. Igbos are the most successful business people in Nigeria and they're seen in all part of Nigeria and villages due to their unquenchable passion for business. The Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB agitating for an independent nation of it's own that's the break out of Nigeria. Many of them accredited the Igbo's agitation to the inability to produce the president of Nigeria since the Nigerian independence in 1960 till date and many other more things bothering the people.
In last two years, the body of youths in the northern part of Nigeria who are Hausas mobilize themselves to give the Igbos a quit notice to evacuate the entire northern part which are Hausas land. A coalition of youths in the North express their anger to the people of Igbo extraction a three months period quit notice. This has caused a lot response in Nigeria, others began to ask, "Do we still have one Nigeria?" Some other regions began to expressed their dissatisfaction over the new development which stands a chance of bringing chaos and division in the nation. A coalition of youths in South West otherwise known as Arewa Youths. Also, when some Northern youths who reside in Kogi State perceived the consequences of the action by the coalition of Northern youths, began to expressed some divergent views over the actions and quit notice issued by some Arewa youths to the Igbo living in the North. Nigeria is multi ethic groups with over 250 ethnicity. It is enshrined in Nigerian constitution that Nigerian citizens has the right to reside, own a land and business in any part of the country. So this very action by some ethic groups has sticker a lot of controversies, actions and damages.

The resultant effect took in Imo state when Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) attacked and killed seven people in Hausa Community recently. A ugly experience about and decision making is that it's result may not felt or seen today.
The sudden attack of the Hausa community took in Oroge, Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State. Though the men of Nigerian Police after confirming the incident, condemned the act on Friday, it is sad that the incident might still happen. IPOB might say they want the evacuation of Hausa's in their land but that's the truth behind the scene and if this continues, there's bounce to civic war which is not healthy to any nation.

Meanwhile, the Hausa community leader, Sarkin Hausawa, Auwal Bab-Sulaiman, expressed stock over the incident. This is high time the appropriate authority should intervene before it metamorphosed into something uncontrollable. Though seven people were killed, eight other persons sustained serious injuries who are currently at Federal medical center for treatment. They have been obstruct from going about their normal duty considering their family whom the took care of.
They shot at six people and beheaded one person and took away the head, eight people sustained injuries and were rushed to the Federal Medical Center Owerri because Oroge community is just about 10 minutes drive to Owerri town.
Sad enough that the gunmen visited the same community again for a fresh attack on Wednesday only that they were repelled by the Nigerian Police Men.
After killing our people on Monday, they came back again on Wednesday to attack but luckily the police were able to foil the attack and killed two of the gunmen.
The community leader also narrate the state of some person who ran out of homes over fear of another attack. But before now, the people had freedom of living in any part of Nigeria without any fear irrespective of one ethnicity but today, there's so much contention due to unnecessary tribal killings. Moreover, Igbos has been living in the northern part for over many years now same also the the Hausas in the south east. But of an action by the coalition of Northern youths has tricker so much chaos by some regions who stand to retardate.
It is very dangerous because it could worsen community relations in other parts of the country. We need to hear clear and emphatic condemnations from those who want our votes,” Mr Baba-Ahmed tweeted
