For over 5 years before March 2015, Nd'igbo dominated a
government where they held key positions, but what did their people as a
collective get for it? They had Secretary to the Federal Government, Aviation,
Petroleum (by Marriage), Chief of Army, etc. Nobody in Nigeria, especially, the
Yoruba whose votes were crucial for President Jonathan, complained. They were
not regarded in the scheme of things for juicy appointments, but they did not
fight or cause unrest.
Now, in their political illiteracy propelled by the half
educated moneybags who benefited from the last regime the youths, artisans,
unemployed and some semi-literate fellows are crying 'Biafra' urged on,
seemingly, by the selfsame usurpers of their commonwealth.
Individuals who lined their own pockets without concourse to
Nd'igbo congress. They did not build road or infrastructures nor did they
increase the wealth of the homeland. They only had personal benefits. What are
these Igbo youths thinking, dying for the wrong and deceitfulness of others? Did
you ever imagine that from the land of the Great Zik, Mbadiwe, Eni Njoku, Alvan
Ikoku, Odumegwu Ojukwu, Emeka Anyaoku, that those elements from Igbo land who
were in the last administration were the best we could muster? We are better
than that. Nd'igbo we are better than what we are doing to ourselves now!
All these people sit somewhere in Europe and sponsor
violence in Nigeria, using those who are without jobs, hungry and poor. Nnamdi
Kanu, clearly a nobody and an obviously lazy fellow, has managed to tap into
the consciousness of these few. He knew very well that he'd be arrested on
entering Nigeria because of his crimes and threat to lives and properties in
the Nigerian state, yet he came forward, hoping that his arrest would increase
his popularity and make him stand with one of Igbo brave sons - Chukwemeka
Odumegwu Ojukwu, who himself declared publicly that the southeast was better
off being in Nigeria. Imagine what would happen, if Igbos scattered in Abuja,
Port Harcourt, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Edo, in short, everywhere, were asked to
return to 'Biafra' for even a month... The people will simply die of hunger.
There are no industries in the region. No land. All the people do these days is
mainly buy and sell. So what would those, who have established successful
businesses and relationships across Nigeria gain from moving to remain in
'Biafra'? This, in fact, is the reason why they are all against the clamor for
a Biafran State. Yet, these hungry fellows - who clearly have nothing to lose
continue to carry leaves and cutlasses to cry for a war or secession they know
nothing about. I blame our education system for all this madness however,
because if the youths had studied the history of the Nigeria-Biafra War, they
would run into the nearest closet at the mention of 'Biafra'. Long Live Nigeria.
Nwannem, hate me but don’t hate my opinion. Read to listen
to the screams in my head and the point of my view, and do not read to cut my
views off and short.
I still remain NWA’AFO IGBO. NDI’IGBO!!! Ka’a nu.
