Enough Of All The Drama, Let Biafra Go by silas24(m): 3:03pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
Most if not all Nigerians know the details of the civil war and its impacts on the country and its ethnic groups. I personally have read several accounts of the war, from Alabi Isama's The Tragedy of Victory to Chinua Achebe's there was a country. The one thing they all agree on is that the war did more harm than good and even Ojukwu confessed that the war should not have been started in the first place. Millions of lives were lost and it took a lot for the Igbos to find themselves again. Naturally both sides committed several atrocities during the war, the Igbos often killed Nigerian soldiers who surrendered and the Nigerian generals were accused of genocide. However the case may be the war was bitter for everyone involved. This is why it pains me when Igbos who really don't know what war is agitating for war and Independence. Nigeria is a blessed country, that is cursed with bad leaders and citizens with very poor mindsets. These bad leaders are not limited to one region, they are everywhere in the country. The three major ethnic groups as we all know are highly tribalistic (yet we complain about racism) and fight primarily for their own interests. They all mingle with their own interacting with others only for their self interests. The Igbos are the most business savvy ethnic group in the country. I like to compare them with Germany who rose from the ashes of World War Two to become an industrial powerhouse. They rose from desolation after the civil war to become some of the richest self made people in the country. How did they achieve this? Simple, by taking advantage of their talents and the lack of such in other people in the country. There's no part of Nigeria that is habitable and safe that an Igbo man will not be found. But there is such a thing as overdoing it. They want everything to go their way and see everyone else as tribalistic when they are the chief perpetrators. You claim to be victimized but everything that has happened is as a result of their own actions. Igbos pride themselves as developers, believing that the country would be in the Stone Age without them. This thought process coupled with their selfishness has lead them to believe that they are being victimized. Most of the agitators for independence are home based people who have nothing to lose but will actually have an edge over other Igbos returning home after independence. Tye Igbo leaders are among the most divided in the country, never really coming together and sacrificing for the greater good of Ndigbo, instead they all strive for their own interests making it easier for their rivals to divide and conquer. Selfishness and ignorance is the problem of the igbos, a leader promised a land flowing with milk and honey and they all want to cash in without thinking ahead. The truth is Nigerians will always look for opportunities to discriminate, an Ebonyi man will not allow an Anambra man rule as president even though they are all Igbos because they are all inherently selfish. A time will come when people will unite and fight for the greater good but I strongly believe that the Biafra offered by Nnamdi Kanu is a Mirage, a promise that takes advantage of the inherent selfishness of the Igbos, no one is discussing the sacrifices they will have to make. If they were they would have realized that what we need is reorientation not referendum. Here's my advice to all, let us stop trying to convince them that Biafra is not the answer. Let them go and see for themselves. Metamorphosis is not a pleasant process but the end result is perfection.....so whenever they play the victim and clamor for the rising sun, encourage them because that is the only way to get them to see the light.... |
