Nairaland Forum

Former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, has accused the people of the South-east zone of being the cause of whatever misfortune they are currently suffering in Nigeria.


“Igbos are the architect of their political and economic misfortunes in the country,” he said.

Nnamani, who was speaking at the opening of the South-east Economic Summit in Enugu, said until the people of the area come together and re-prioritize their needs, their problems would continue.

He observed that the summit had provided a veritable platform for soul searching and introspection, stressing that for the people of the zone to have agreed to come together and review their status in the corporate entity called Nigeria, was an indication that they were ready to take their destiny in their own hands.

He said it was regrettable that Igbos had made themselves laughing stock in the country over their inability to come together and speak with one voice.

“It’s really unfortunate that we have continued to cry wolf when we have, in our activities and conducts, made ourselves the laughing stock of other people. We hardly speak with one voice. It has continued to be difficult for us to have consensus on any opinion and this has indirectly affected us adversely in our national acceptance.”



In his speech, the Summit Chairman, Kalu U. Kalu, lamented the economic situation of the South-east zone, which he said was presently at the lowest ebb and as such needs to be revived by its leaders both in politics and business.

“Our infrastructure is the worst in the country; qualitative education can only be imagined; no meaningful federal presence in the zone, while insecurity has become the order of the day.”

What an arrant nonsense. I would rather have listened to a market woman's speech on Igbo, architect, political and economic misfortunes than a dolt's speech who could not point at any tangible achievement throughout his political stewardship at top of Nigerian political power.

I guess “one voice” he alluded in the wasteful speech does not include electing trolls such as him.
