WHAAT! Hausa People Demand Freedom, Move To Divide Nigeria; SEE Their Shocking Move Before Simon Ekpa’s Arrest
The recent arrest of Simon Ekpa, a prominent figure in the Biafran separatist movement, has brought attention to a lesser- known development in Nigeria’ s complex landscape of ethnic tensions and secessionist movements. Some days ago, a group of Hausa people took to social media to agitate for Hausa freedom, designing a flag and coat of arms that they shared online.
The Hausa coat of arms, which features two horses, bears the inscription ” The UNITED States Of Hausaland. ” The flag, which includes several states in northern Nigeria, such as Kebbi, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kano, Zamfara, and Katsina, is a clear indication of the group’ s desire to create a separate state for the Hausa people.
Simon Ekpa, who has been a vocal advocate for Biafran independence, took notice of the Hausa group’ s online activities and expressed his support for their cause.
In a statement before he was arrested in Finland, Ekpa said, ” Have they started their own? The best decision so far. ” This comment has been interpreted by some as an endorsement of the Hausa people’ s right to self- determination.
The development highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of Nigeria’ s ethnic tensions and secessionist movements. While the Biafran movement has garnered significant attention in recent years, the Hausa people’ s desire for greater autonomy or independence has received relatively little attention.
Nigeria’ s history is replete with examples of ethnic and regional tensions, which have often led to violence and instability. The Biafran Civil War, which lasted from 1967 to 1970, was a devastating conflict that resulted in the deaths of over a million people. . The war was sparked by the declaration of independence by the Eastern Region of Nigeria, which was predominantly inhabited by the Igbo people.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of separatist movements in Nigeria, with groups like the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) advocating for Biafran independence.
The Hausa people’ s desire for greater autonomy or independence adds a new layer of complexity to Nigeria’ s already fraught ethnic and regional dynamics.
