In1970, we were told it was a no victor no vanquish
declaration.
We put down our arms and left the trenches, with mixed
feelings of excitement, nervousness and fear, we headed to
the houses we built, we were told they are ‘Abandon
Properties’, and have been shared as spoils of war.
With disappointment in our hearts, we headed to the banks, so
we could withdraw our money and savings to salvage our
lives, and we were handed only ‘20 pounds’ it doesn’t matter if
you had millions or billions in your account.
With a deep sense of despair, homeless and penniless, we
went straight to reclaim our jobs and positions, we were
turned away, as they’ve been filled up with little or no skilled
personnels.
We were then homeless, penniless and jobless. We were
greeted with ‘Indigenisation Policy’ government companies
and assets were sold to themselves, because we couldn’t
afford to compete financially due to the ‘20 pounds’ policy.
We were still trying to figure out what was going on, and then
there came the quota system policy, exclusive economic lists,
federal character, ELDS states etc. We were cornered from
every angle.
But like seeds, perhaps they didn’t know the dangers of
burying us, we’ve germinated and have grown stronger and
better, because we are Igbos.
We are children of the Sun , we’ve risen again, yes we are
IGBO .

Worth adding is also:
We we, my to the market to buy SECOND HAND cloths to cover our bodies, they said their importation has been BANNED.

We tried buying STOCKFISH, prepare some Soup, we were also told STOCKFISH had equally been BANNED, Why all these? To purnish IGBOS! But we survived all, because we are BLESSED by GOD!!!

Persecution complex.
