Many Igbos of the South Japanese Nigeria have been deeply brainwashed and poisoned to imagine that some other a part of the nation is out to annihilate them. Far be it! What I do know is their perceived drawback is politics. They miscalculated politically and each political error is tackled and dealt with politically.
It has been nicely with them and the Northern Area for the reason that first, second and third republics. They solely had points with the mainstream politics after they threw their finest joker on President Goodluck Jonathan. Regardless that his administration had no bodily impression within the area, Easterners gave him a cult fellowship. All the things then went flawed after he misplaced the election.
Succinctly put, Igbo youths acquired entrapped with the falsehood within the razzmatazz of “MARGINALISATION”. All are deception.
To buttress my factors, I reply to the next:
President Muhammadu Buhari, Hausa/Fulani or 1999 Structure shouldn’t be the explanation why 99% of educated Igbo youths stay exterior Igboland.
That 99% of Igbo entrepreneurs make their wealth exterior Igboland can’t be traced to Yakubu Gowon or Obafemi Awolowo.
That no main metropolis in Igboland has purposeful water provide can’t be as a result of an Emir in Kano or Daura decreed.
That College of Nigeria, Nsukka, the foremost outstanding Federal Establishment in Igboland is the worst run, first era College in Nigeria can’t be traced to any peculiar choice made by Aso Rock. The College Lands are actually being offered to people for private use.
That 50% of educated and expert youths throughout Igboland are both unemployed or underemployed can’t be the making of Lord Lugard and his concubine.
Ndigbo should get up. Now we have been deceived far method too lengthy and the time to place to an finish to those emotional manipulations should cease.
The construction or system in Nigeria shouldn’t be the explanation of the extent of poverty in our land which is already competing with Jigawa and Sokoto ranges. It’s the making of our political Leaders.
We could not like this however the fact is that Igbos are additionally benefitting from the dysfunctional state of issues in Nigeria. Pray, if not for federal allocation, what number of Igbo States will pay salaries in the present day?
Are State roads in Igboland higher than those managed by the Federal Authorities? Ought to Buhari or Federal Authorities begin constructing interior metropolis roads in ABA, ENUGU, ONITSHA, OWERRI, NNEWI and so forth?
Have you learnt that many Igbo politicians are unconscionable thieves in Nigeria, such that over 70% of presidency income in Igboland is stolen? Lower than 50% is stolen in different areas.
What number of Igbo Senators are you able to method simply and get their consideration for one thing? A younger man from Kano or Sokoto can do this with a textual content message. Have you ever tried speaking to any HOR Member out of your place, say on the Airport or in a lodge foyer? Did he not make you seem like a idiot?
It’s about time we start to ask questions younger males. Cease losing your lives preventing for Biafra. If Nigeria disintegrates, it will return to what it was like earlier than the 20th century when each village was a rustic unto itself. Can we survive that?
Our rage has been misdirected on the flawed folks. Nigeria will cross away however ALA IGBO would stay. We should start to ask questions of these looting our sources. Has there been any month President Muhammadu Buhari held again Federal Allocation of any State?
Why are there no viable employment alternatives for younger males in Igboland? Was there a report that any authorities inside the area introduced buyers and the another person exterior the area requested them to go house?
How concerning the idle declare that Igbos are completely different from each different tribe in Nigeria? With the unhealthy roads? Soiled streets, roads plagued by refuse heaps? Can we for as soon as inform ourselves the onerous fact that we aren’t higher than some other tribe in Nigeria, not less than by way of what’s seen? Are we naturally wedded to self deception?
We should get up. This entire nonsense should cease.
