Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu has called on the Hausas to stop marginalising Igbos.

This is coming on the heels of the quit notice issued to Igbos by the coalition of Northern youths.

Agu condemned the call, saying that if Igbos leave the North, the Hausas will go hungry.

The actor also criticised the continued harassment of farmers by Fulani herdsmen.

He criticised President Muhammadu Buahri for not doing anything to curb the action of the cattle rearers.

According to BN, Agu said “You the northerners, where were you when Igbos were building hotels and different things. Where were you, people? You people were asleep, busy eating money gotten from Niger Delta and you have the mouth to say Igbo should leave, if it is done that way, Hunger will kill you people.

“If you want to know who you are oppressing, compare us to the Israelites. We are the people of God. Pharaoh was begged to leave the Israelites to go, Pharaoh refused, what happened later?”

There are insinuations that the Anambra church killing was allegedly carried out by Fulani herdsmen.
