'Nigeria is a multiethnic, multi-religious and pluralistic country. The easiest way to live peacefully and progressively in this country is to live and let live; choose your religion and stick to it and allow others to do so freely.' Nigeria Herdsmen
In spite of the rigidly enforced nationwide lockdown prohibiting interstate movements over the coronavirus pandemic, there have been noticed unending streams of mass movements from northern Nigeria down to the southern part. Never in the history of Nigeria had there been such intense mass movements from the north to the south within a short space of time. The natural trajectory of migration in and around the country from the time of the colonial masters has been from South to the North.
The alarm has become so hysterical that many commentaries and even recorded voices in the social media are warning that the deadly Islamic invaders have already gained some strategic advantages by taking over most of the bushes and forests in the zones. Some journalists and researchers have taken the pains to list out the particular communities of the zones where the so-called waves of militants have allegedly gained some footholds in their surrounding bushes and forests.
Fortunately the Igbos are coming to these threats with a lot of experience. In the last one hundred years, the Igbos in Nigeria have been massacred several times. The mother of all genocides against the Igbos of Nigeria took place on the eve of Nigerian civil when up to three million of them lost their lives in the pogrom that took place against them in the north from 1966-1967 and the civil war that followed it up in Igbo land from 1967-1970.
And that is intimidation and instilling of fear among the people. Fortunately the Igbos who have been through so many rounds of blustering and threats by Islamist militants in their history are not expected to fall for this latest round of threats and intimidation.
