Governors of the Nineteen northern States on Thursday took undisclosed security measures with a view to ensuring that Wednesday’s violence that included burning of places of worship in the commercial city of Onitsha in Anambra State does not spread to the northern part of the country.

Speaking on behalf of the nineteen Governors, Borno State Governor and Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum, Kashim Shettima whose statement was issued by his spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau on Thursday in Maiduguri, said the Governors, particularly those of major cities were in touch with another yesterday and had taken some firm measures that aim at averting any spill-over.
Shettima said the Governors took the undisclosed measures, following media reports claiming that worship places were touched during the Wednesday violence in Onitsha.

Judging from history of conflict in the north, i never knew their governors could hold a secret meeting just to avert the killing of pple in their region as they just did.

May be they developed patriotism overnight to protect their son's government and Nigeria, knowing that any of such killings now will only advance the cause of Biafrans.

Does it also mean that killing frenzy we've been experiencing previously are merely left to occur for a reason?

Good.

They are already battling Boko Haram, you shouldn't kick a man when he's down. Boko Haram has tamed the abokkis

Why are you people always thinking in foolish manners? Elders of a region are taking the necessary proactive measures to ensure that they avoid a reprisal in the north, you are here saying rubbish.
Onye ara.

Seems the north are preparing for eventualities too, the only regions not preparing for eventualities are the SS and the SW.
I hope we're not caught unprepared, we however have the mighty MEND to call on if the need arises.

Peace makesense oo,if only u guys have been to a war zone 4 just a seconds of ur life,u will hate it,no true elderly igbo person that seen civil war would want to be a part of it because it didn't bring joy bt sorrow,didn't bring happiness bt great sadness and the person that caused the war wasn't even near the warfront bt innocent men,women n children suffer it the more and if is continue more innocent ones will suffer great lost.
Like in Nigeria only the south-west is peaceful,May God heal Nigeria.

Tomorrow is Friday, They better warn the Imams not to talk about Ibos burning mosques in Onitsha

The zoo must fall

mbaeeeee:
The death of some Igbos in the North is inevitable

There will be reprisals

Hope Ipob learns a big lesson

...and the mods allowed ur comment

Let me check d last time they hold meeting for bokoharam.

A step in the right direction.igbos have long over endure the killing of their kiths and kin in all the nooks and crannies of the nation.although some ipob protesters went too far by burning shops,trucks and a mosque,thanks to obiano for making a haste to repair the mosque,but i must commend the ipob protesters for not touching the life of any civilian,this is formal because LIFE IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN MOSQUE,SHOPS AND TRUCKS PUT TOGETHER,i wish the northerners can learn from them.
