Every day, there are people who keep our eyes glued to our phone screens as we read their rants, opinions, perspectives on political and social matters, etc. Sometimes, they are even just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
Following the Kaduna declaration by Arewa youth yesterday, which effectively gives the Igbos in the North until Oct 1st to pack out or be dealt with, there has been conversations on Twitter NG, with people pointing out different angles to the situation. See below:
1 Tolu Ogunlesi
Outrage:
Ultimatum by "Coalition of Northern Youths", to Igbos, is utterly condemnable. Should be treated as Hate Speech & Incitement to Violence.

2. Abang Mercy
Nnamdi Kanu wins
People actually sat to declare Igbos out of the North? Really?
You all keep making Nnamdi Kanu score more points as 2019 elections beckon!!— Khaleesi ?? (@AbangMercy) June 7, 2017
3. Dr Dipo
ElRufai on point
Asking Igbos to leave the North is inflammatory and can lead to loss of thousands of lives on both sides. ARREST is in order.
— Dr. Dipo Awojide (@OgbeniDipo) June 7, 2017
Not quite
I should unlook this El-Rufai matter. Arrests probably just for show. Men were arrested for killing a woman for blasphemy and walked free.

Why am I unimpressed with the order to arrest the signatories of yesterday's communique?
The killers of Bridget Agbahime were arrested…

So nothing will happen at the end

Exactly! And why must the @PoliceNG wait for orders before doing their job? We are watching keening for the usual eye service

@ProfOsinbajo's comments about discrimination are a wonderful start towards dealing with this quit notice given to Igbos in Northern Nigeria pic.twitter.com/EJ0p1VwDIY

Contradictions
Oba of Lagos – Igbo people should goan die!
Hausas – We give Igbo people deadline to leave the North
Igbos – We want Biafra

6. Aisha
What is this about "the north" vs igbos? So what happens to those of us that are half/half by blood? We create our own country? #OneNigeria

Reactions:
Propagandists script. But I hope the security agencies will address it immediately. It's really sad and a shame.

Lol… very funny… Seriously they should understand that if Nigeria must break-up its NEVER going to be in TWO, definitely MULTIPLE split!

Decide the half you want to throw away????
— Orozo1⭐? (@Freeman05051) June 7, 2017
People don't read our blood. You are Aisha, I'm Amara. Automatically, you are North and I'm Igbo. https://t.co/LDBJwsKwTP

No group(s) speak for the whole North. The North is also not one group. The Igbos are not going anywhere. Love trumps hate. #NoToViolence

The worse thing is how we just take it as a matter of course that Northerners can rise up and start killing people any time…and they do.
— Somi (@somiscellany) June 7, 2017
We just accept that any small catalyst can trigger ethno-religious violence. We don't even try to hold them to a higher standard.
— Somi (@somiscellany) June 7, 2017
Even a government official, even police will say…"You know these northerners" or "You know these Muslims."
— Somi (@somiscellany) June 7, 2017
Like…rearrange you thoughts, your speech, your freedoms around them so that you don't get harmed. Strange.
