       Kaduna Declaration: Nigeria Deserve A Second Civil War

       We make war so that we may live in peace” Aristotle. [Si Vis
       Pacem, Para Bellum]
       Human societies have waged war against each other for centuries
       upon centuries. Wars can involve both entire nations and
       individual tribes which can shift the balance of power. The
       victor gains the spoils and, as some have put it, writes the
       history books. Aristotle asserts that the purpose of war is so
       that human societies can enjoy peace; that boundaries can be
       established so that society may be well-ordered. War can involve
       physical confrontation, but in a broader sense, it means
       establishing the limits of tolerance and responding when those
       limits are breached.
       When German fought and lost the First World war, they became the
       mockery of Europe. Their European counterparts took the whole
       Africa, Middle East, Asia and South America and enjoyed the
       spoils of their colonial conquest but on 1939, Germany took a
       second gamble and lost the second world war also but this time,
       they gain a great respect from the European counterparts who are
       not willing to face such scourge of war again.
       Nigeria fought a civil war between the Eastern Biafra Region and
       the rest of the Country, the East lost the war and the rest of
       the country took the spoils and have written the history of
       victors all over it, Writing a heavily skewed constitutional
       arrangement that's totally unacceptable. While this very
       constitution is not working, some people especially from
       Northern region of Nigeria insist on it, threatening that the
       constitution must remain.
       So many problems in Nigeria, from Niger Delta Militancy, to
       different Ethno-religious crisis, MASSOB and even Boko Haram
       militancy has been blamed on that very bad foundation, The
       Constitution.
       Nigerian leaders has taken different steps, set up different
       Constitutional conferences but failed to implement it. In 2014,
       Nnamdi KANU, started the agitation for the sovereign state of
       Biafra and just like those before him,he was arrested and
       charged for treason causing uproar among his supporters and
       fallout of that has been an increased agitation and call for
       restructuring from some quarters especially the Southern Region
       and a call for retainment of the present constitution by the
       Northern region. The whole imbroglio has led to a call by
       Northern youths threatening Igbos to Leave the North on or
       before Oct 1,2017. Their call has received tacit endorsement by
       most of their leaders whose wish is only to tell Igbos
       especially and other Nigerians that they can't remain in North
       while their brothers in East call for Self determination. The
       quit notice has threat of bloodshed written all over it but no
       one should be scared about it anymore. I want to assure
       Nigerians that building of Nationhood and division are
       similar,in that both requires bloodshed in most of the
       circumstance.
       Nigerians should prepare for sacrifice of blood, but this time,
       it will be so bloody that those who will remain in Nigeria will
       see the need for Justice.
       Nigeria can afford to lose 6million lives including me. It's
       better for us to remember that those who died in 1967-1970 do
       not have two heads and thousands who are dying in Syria are
       humans too. Bloodshed is now clearly the only option left to
       Nigeria to determine her future. I am therefore calling on Igbos
       and others living in the North to avoid the temptation of
       returning home because of the threat of Arewa youth, let them do
       their worst.
       Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change
       inevitable.
       Nigeria deserve a second civil war, so that she can live in
       Peace and Justice.
