Since the end of the Nigerians civil war, the reconciliation, reabsorption, reintegration and restoration of the Igbos to their former zenith position in Nigeria's govt institutions, have been anything but fast. It would appear that the Nigerian military, which officers hierarchy was dominated by Northern Nigerian military officers until recently, deliberately slowed down the upward mobility of the Igbos, into the mainstream of the sensitive institution of the Nigerian state.
Oh well, that was then, since the inception of the current civilian dispensation, the Igbos have since made tremendous gains.
Under president OBJ in his second term as Nigeria's president, Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi , son of former military. Head of state, was appointed Nigeria's Defense minister.
Igbo man now is the Chief of Army Staff. This two appointment would have been completely unimaginably during the military era. Thus one can say, the Igbo nation has come a long way and the Igbos have made a lot of gains, especially in this latest civilian dispensation in Nig.
Without equivocation, the Igbos are Nigeria's most enterprising ethnic nation. The Igbos are the most creative and most adventurous, regarding business, commercial activities in every Nigerian city, town and village are dominated by the Igbos. It was once a common joke, back in the day, in every NYSC camp, for the commandant to advice fresh Youth Corpers to report back for reposting, if they find no Igbo man in their place of primary assignment. The reason was not far fetched. No Youth Corpers could survive, where an Igbo man could not survive. This joke is actually no joke, when you consider the fact that the joke is based on facts. The Igbos dominate commerce in Nigeria's administrative capital Abuja. A federal capital territory. Minister, once disclosed that the Igbos owned over several percent of the real property in Abuja. I don't want to talk about Lagos

The topic should have been: Igbo The Giant OF Africa

Until we have Biafra where we call the shots without a Jihardists threatening and dragging us back, we can't soar the heights and attempt the glories of the unknowns.

We are dreaming of made with "Made in Biafra" brands, to dazzle the world and then shake and wake Africa from slumber.

Surely, we shall put to shame those who believe that we can't "survive".

Hit like if you are a proud IGBO

Noted! We are blessed people, sometimes i begin to imagine during and immediately after the civil war there is nothing like education in Igbo land, how fast we redominate other parts of Nigeria is still a thing of miracle even Yorubas and their Awolowo western free education.
Today they are complaining about our dominance in Nigerian Army, Aviation ministry, sports, entertainment industries. We are Nigeria Power

Go to sleep people.

I have never seen any German after WWII claiming to be the champion of Europe; however, in realistic terms they are indeed the champions of Europe.
