"One Nigeria" Is The Same Thing As "No Mans Land" by gidgiddy: 7:02am On Mar 14, 2023 |
All my life I have heard the same slogans "We are all one Nigeria" "Nigeria belongs to us all" "We are all equal under the law" "Our strength is in our diversity But what do these things mean? If Enugu belongs to Igbo and Lagos belongs to Yoruba, Kano belongs to Hausa/Fulani, who then does Nigeria belong to? The constitution of Nigeria makes us all equal before the law and no where does the constitution give anyone any special privilege for being indigenous to an area, over none indigenes For Nigeria to make sense, I must see all of Nigeria as "no man's land" because if different parts of Nigeria are owned by different people, and I have less rights than the indigenes of where I go, then it means that: "One Nigeria" is a scam "Nigeria belongs to us all " is a sham The Igbo man sees the entire world as no mans land, thats why they say that if you dont find an Igbo man wherever you go in the world, leave that place I have never heard that any Igbo man went somewhere and seized someones land, rather, he will go somewhere, work hard and buy land with his sweat So I say to any Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani who feels that Igbos are taking too much, its not a must we must be together. We were brought together by the white man. If you feel you must assert your ownership of territory, then lets come together, admit there is no "one Nigeria" and disintegrate peacefully It is either Nigeria is for all Nigerians, and therefore no mans land, or we can go our seperate ways and your land will be your land. But you cannot have it both ways 7 Likes 1 Share |

Okpaleke, who hails from Amesi in Aguata local government area of Anambra State, was to succeed the late Bishop Anthony Chikwe in Ahiara, but the people of Mbaise insisted on having an indigene as their local government. For five years, Bishop Okpaleke never stepped foot on his Cathedral and only remained Bishop of the Diocese in name 6 Likes 1 Share

Tell your senators to remove state of origin from the Constitution because it seems most igbos don't have origin. 4 Likes 1 Share |
