In response to the recent attacks against Igbos in Lagos by Yorubas, political activist Aisha Yesufu has offered advice on how to prevent further intimidation. This follows the support of Labour Party’s Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour by Igbos, which resulted in many of his supporters being prevented from voting and some even attacked. Additionally, Igbos were asked to leave Lagos, with some Yorubas making plans on Twitter to take over their properties.
Yesufu took to Twitter to advise the Igbos in Lagos to visit Kano and learn how their brothers were able to protect themselves from becoming victims. She wrote, “The Igbos in Lagos must go and meet their kinsmen in Kano and learn from them how they stopped themselves from being picked on as victims. Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war― Martin Luther King Jr.”
