Nigerian Separatists Insist On Million-Man March At UN

Nigerian separatist campaigners under the aegis of Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS) are planning to stage a million-man freedom march at the United Nations in New York this week.
The NINAS amalgamates self-determination groups in the South and Middle Belt of Nigeria.
The self-determination group will storm the UN from 14 September according to a Facebook post by the group.
It seeks to take back the sovereignty of the various groups by demanding a referendum on self-determination and abolition of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.
The protest at the park opposite the UN Plaza, is being staged to coincide with the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), which holds from September14-21.
It was learnt that Nigerians in Diaspora from the South-East, South-South, South-West and Middle Belt’s clans, living in the United States of America, are being mobilised to stand up for their indigenous nationalities.
The Chairman of NINAS, Prof Banji Akintoye said, “We want to show the world our plight so that we can see solutions. We can’t keep quiet. The mega rallies held in South-West was a success, and it is not enough, but we need the world to understand our current plight”.
Other members of NINAS are Mr. Tony Nnadi, its secretary and leader of Lower Niger Congress and Prof Yusuf Turaki, leader of Middle Belt Bloc.
