Dear Steemites, just feel I should notify you all about the Nigerian issues.

In the case of the Eastern youths, they are still pained by the first civil war of 1967-70 in which the Nigerian Armed Forces populated by Northern soldiers won. Secondly they claim they have been marginalized and cheated in the country as against the other regions in the country and hence decided they want to form their own country.

Thanks for the explanation.
Wonder if Boko Haram is involved? However, it sounds v much like grassroots uprising.

No. Boko Haram isn't involved. It is a clash of interest between some Northern and Eastern youths.
