Gkemz:
Following the launch of his new book: “We are all Biafrans” , Chido Onumah in an interview with NAIJ.com said his aim is to remind Nigerians and its leaders of the problems faced by the country in recent times.
Onumah said the book, his third is about the crisis the Nigerian people face and the need for a true federalism.
He however denied insinuations that his book is a call to action for the agitation of a Biafran state.
“It is not a call to action, it is not a call to support the Biafra agitation, it is just a reminder that we have so many problems in Nigeria and that time has come for us to sit at the table of nationhood to address these problems,” Onumah said.
He further said the used the title for the book because he believed it would open Nigerians up for thought provoking questions about its problems.
“I thought I would strike a call that I wanted to provoke… I think it achieved its aim. The idea is that people will read the book and begin to question: why are we all Biafrans? Or somebody will tell you, I am not a Biafran,” he said.
He said: “So the idea first and foremost is to provoke, to draw attention to the issue.”
“If had used a topic like the marginalization of so so and so, people will say but we have also been marginalized but I think with the title of the book hopefully people would begin to draw attention.
“We do not have a choice, this is not about government really and that is why it has a subtitle: “Sleepwalking into disaster” .
“The only alternative we have is disaster, so if we do not want the disaster, we have no choice but to come together as a people.
“Some people say, we have had the national conference, we have had various conferences to talk about Nigeria; nation building like I keep saying is not a tea party, it is not something you would say: oh!
“We tried it and it did not work. You have to keep trying, even the United States, over 200 years old, the greatest country in the history of the world; they still struggle to build a perfect nation.”
Photos from the launch of the book in Abuja:
He added: “So no nation comes given, no nation is perfect, the important thing is that the human beings that live in these places make effort to try to work hard and work out something that would be of interest or benefit rather to at least the majority of those who live in the country.”
He also said that Nigeria should only stop trying when the country is sure it has an alternative to finding solutions to its current problems.
Onumah said: “My attitude is that we really do not have an alternative, our alternative is to watch our country disintegrate and as long as we do not want to do that we have to keep trying to get the best out of it."

He and others canvassing and waiting for return to true and fiscal federalism to Nigeria may never live to see true and fiscal federalism restored to Nigeria. Even their grandchildren may not see it, so long as crude oil flows in the Niger delta.

Arewa soldiers have done the deal long ago. The soldiers sewed 19 states in the old northern region of Nigeria as well as hundreds of local government areas there.
Through this, northern Nigeria draws more of Nigeria's shared revenues in a most tight unitary government system. Furthermore, three senators come from each state, so northern Nigeria unduly over-populates the NAAS. So no amount of voting in the NASS can restore true and fiscal federalism because northern Nigeria which profits from the existing political system must vote down true and fiscal federalism.

IPOB people are not like the dummies agitating for restoration of true and fiscal federalism to Nigeria.

The dummies are merely waiting for Godot.

Write another book speculating on return of true and fiscal federalism to Nigeria, make your money, and condemn those on the right path of agitation.

We are not all Biafrans. Biafra belong the Igbos alone. Very soon, the Igbos would get the independent Biafra country they so much desire, and when that happens, all Igbos would go back to Igboland.
Please help me tell them. Repeat it loud and clear. Let it sink into their cranium

The unitary system was created by a greedy igbo man named aguiyi ironsi. I guess he thought he would never die or be killed.
