We Africans have a long long way to go.
Why can't we just stop this tribalism and embrace peace and work hand in hand together for a better Nigeria.
Must we only be united whenever there is a Football Match?
Enough of all this Biafra stuffs abeg. Nigeria is one.


I see this Uwazuruike cooling off in Jail sooner than he expects

Who don't like peace? but tribalism and sentiment have so much eaten deep to us. Tell me one Capital project in Igbo land?, Are u aware u now clear ur good in kano? a ploy to destroy Igbo businesses, do u know u can not travel with more than $5,000 and still can not use ur ATM abroad? All are attempt to cripple the igbo man's business.

As Oil is fading out how will Biafra survive.?

In Biafra, under three years, they were
making their own rockets and calculating
its distances; distilling their own oil and
making aviation fuel, creating in their
Chemical and Biological laboratories, new
cures for diseases like Cholera, shaping
their own spare parts, and turning the
entire East into a vast workshop, as
Ojukwu put it.
At the end of the war, the Ukpabi Asika
regime brought together these Biafran
scientists and set up PRODA. The initiative
led, in the first five years between
1970-1975 under the late Prof. Gordian
Ezekwe and Mang Ndukwe, to designs of
industrial machinery models and
prototypes for the East Central State
Industrial Masterplan, which remain
undeveloped even today. The Murtala/
Obasanjo regime took over PRODA in 1975
by decree, starved it of funds, and
basically destroyed its aims.

2ndly, Federal government policies
centralized all potentials for innovation
and entrepreneurship. Before 1983, states
had their Ministries of Trade and Industry.
These were charged with local business
registration, trade, and investment
promotion, and so on. But today in Nigeria,
if you wish to do any business, you’d have
to go to Abuja (it used to be Lagos) to
register under the Corporate Affairs
Commission. It used to be that local
business registration was state and
municipal functions. The concentration of
the leverage for trade utterly limited Igbo
entrepreneurs, particularly in the era of
import licensing, once your quota was
exhausted, you could not do business.
Obi Nwakanma
This affected the old Igbo money in Aba
and Onitsha, who were the arrow-heads of
innovation and traditional partners in the
advance of Igbo industrial economy. It is
remarkable that as at 1985, a least by a
book published by the Oxford Economist
Tom Forrest in 1980, The Advance of
African Capital, the Igbo had the highest
investment in machine tools industries in
all of Africa, and the highest depth of
investment in rural, cottage industries. In
his prediction in 1980, if that rate of
investment continued, according to Forrest
in 1980, the Igbo part of Africa would
accomplish an industrial revolution by
1987. Now, by 1983/85, Federal
government policies helped to dismantle
the growth of indigenous Igbo Industry
through its targeted national economic
policies. As I have said, there is a corollary
between industrial development and
innovation.
3rdly, the severe, strategic staunching of
huge capital in-flow into the East starved
Igbo businesses and institutions of the
capacity to utilize or even expand their
capacities. There were no strategic Federal
Capital projects in the East. There were no
huge infrastructural investments in the
East. The last major Federal government
investment in Igbo land was the Niger
Bridge which was commissioned in 1966.
Any region starved of government funds
experiences catatony and attrition. Private
capital is often not enough to create the
kind of synergy necessary for innovation.
Rather than invest in the East, from 1970
to date, the Federal government has
strategically closed down every capacity
for technological advancement in the East
and stripped that region of its capacity.
By 1966, the Eastern Nigerian Gas
masterplan had been completed under
Okpara. But in its review of a Nigeria gas
masterplan, the Federal government
strategically circumvented the East. Oil
and Gas are under Federal oversight. The
Trans-Amadi to Aba Industrial Gas
network/linkage had been completed in
1966, to pipe gas from Port-Harcourt to
Aba. The Federal government let that go
into abeyance and uprooted the already
reticulated pipes. The East was denied
access to energy with the destruction of
the Power stations during the war.

The Mbakwe government sought to
remedy this by embarking on two highly
critical area of investment necessary for
industrial life: the 5 Zonal water projects,
which were 75 completed by 1983, and set
for commissioning in 1984, which was to
supply clean water for domestic and
industrial use to all parts of the old Imo
state, and the Amaraku and Izombe Power
stations, under the Imo Rural
Electrification Project. These were the first
ever massive independent power projects
ever carried out by any state government
in Nigeria which would have made
significant part of Igbo land energy
independent today. The supply of daily
electricity was possible in Imo as at 1984.
The Amaraku station had come on stream,
and the Izombe Gas station was
underway, when Buhari and his men
struck.
The first order of business under the
Buhari govt in January 1984, was to
declare all that investment by Mbakwe
“white elephant projects.” They were
abandoned, and left to decay.
Ground had already been acquired and
cleared on the Umuahia-Okigwe road to
commence work by the South Korean Auto
firm, Hyundai, under a partnership with
Imo for the Hyundai Assembly plant in
Umuahia, to cater to a West African
market. The first order of business under
the Buhari government in January 1984,
was to declare all that investment by
Mbakwe “white elephant projects.” They
were abandoned, and left to decay. The
equipment at the Amaraku power station
was later sold in parts by Joe Aneke during
Abacha’s government. Some of the
industries like the Paint and Resins
company, and the Aluminium Extrusion
plant in Inyishi were privatized, and sold.
Projects like the massive Ezinachi Clay &
Brick works at Okigwe are at various
stages of decay, as memorial to all that
effort.
4thly, you may not remember but
Odumegwu Ojukwu founded and opened
the first Nigerian University of Technology
– the University of Technology Port-
Harcourt in 1967, under the leadership of
prof. Kenneth Dike. He had also compelled
Shell to establish the First Petroleum
Technology Training Institute in Port-
Harcourt in 1966. All these were
dismantled. The PTI was take from Port-
Harcourt to Warri, while University of Tech,
P/H was reduced to a campus of UNN,
until 1975, when it became Uniport. You
will recall that for years, up till 1981, the
only institutions of higher learning in
Central Eastern Nigeria were the University
of Nigeria, Nsukka, IMT Enugu and Alvan
Ikoku College of Ed, in Owerri. There is no
innovation without centers of strategic
research.
Mbakwe and Jim Nwobodo changed all
that in 1981, when they pushed through
their various states Assembly, the bills
establishing the old Anambra State Univ.
of Tech (ASUTHECH), under the presidency
of Kenneth Dike, and the IMOSU with its
five campuses under the presidency of
Prof MJC Echeruo. The master plan for
these universities as epicenters of
research and innovation in the East were
effectively grounded with the second
coming of the military in 1984, and the
diminution of their mission through
underfunding, etc. As I have said, I have
given you the very short version. After a
brief glimpse of light between 1979-83,
Igbo land witnessed the highest form of
attrition from 1983- date, and the
destruction of the efforts of its public
leadership to restore it to its feet has been
strategic.

Some have been intimidated, and the Igbo
themselves have grown very cynical from
that experience of deep alienation from
Nigeria. I think you should be a little less
cynical of Igbo attempts to re-situate
themselves in the Nigerian federation:
starved of funds, starved of investments,
subjected to regulatory strictures from a
powerful central government which sees
the East in adversarial terms, and often
threatened, the Igbo themselves grew
cynical of it all. You may recall, the first
move by the governors of the former
Eastern Region to meet under the aegis of
the old Eastern Region’s Governors
Conference in 1999, was basically
checkmated by Obasanjo who threatened
them after they called for confederation in
response to the Sharia issue in the North.
Their attempts to establish liaison offices
in Enugu and create a regional partnership
was considered very threatening by the
federal government under Obasanjo, that
not too long after, they abandoned that
move, and that was it. If people cannot be
allowed to organize for the good of their
constituents, then it only means one thing:
it is not in the interest of certain vested
interests in Nigeria for a return of a
common ground in the Eastern part of
Nigeria because establishing that kind of
common ground threatens the balance of
power. It is even immaterial if such a
common ground leads to Nigeria’s ultimate
benefit. There are people who just find the
idea of a common, progressive partnership
of the old Eastern Region threatening to
their own long term interests. This is
precisely what is going on – its
undercurrent. This of course cannot be
permitted to go on forever. A generation
arises which often says, “No! in Thunder.”
The Trans-Amadi to Aba Industrial Gas
network/linkage had been completed in
1966, to pipe gas from Port Harcourt to
Aba. The FG let that go into abeyance
and uprooted the already reticulated pipes.
Igbo population is quite huge, and people
who truly know understand that the Igbo
constitute the single largest ethnic nation
in Nigeria. Much has been made about
how this so-called “small” Igbo land space
could accommodate the vast Igbo
population. But People also forget that
Igbo land accommodated Igbo who fled
from everywhere else in 1967. So, the
question of whether Igbo land is large
enough to contain the Igbo is a non-issue.
In any case, Biafra is not only the land of
the Igbo. It goes far beyond Igbo land. But
even for the sake of building scenarios, we
stick to Igbo land alone – the great Igbo
cities of Enugu, Port-Harcourt, Owerri, Aba,
Onitsha, Asaba, Abakaliki, Umuahia, Awka
and Onitsha are yet to be reach even 30%
of their capacities.
New arteries can be built, facilities
expanded; there are innovative ways of
moving populations through new
transportation platforms -underneath,
above, on the surface, and by waterways.
The East of Nigeria has one of the most
complex and connected, and largely
disused system of natural river waterways
in the world. New, ecologically habitable
towns can be expanded to form new cities
from the Grade A Townships – Agbor,
Obiaruku, Aboh, Oguta, Mgbidi, Orlu,
Ihiala, Amawbia/Ekwuluobia, Elele/
Ahoada, Owerrinta, Bonny, Asa,
Arochukwu, Afikpo, Okigwe, and so on.
The Igbo will be fine. The Japanese and
the Dutch, for example, have proved that
there are innovative ways of using
constricted space.
As for the economy: it is supply and
demand. New economic policies will
integrated Igbo economy to the central
West African and West African Markets.
The Igbo will create a new vast export
network, unhindered by idiotic economic
and foreign policies. The re-activation of
the PH port systems will for e.g. open the
closed economic corridor once and for all
to global trade. As anybody knows, it
might take a fast train no more than 45
minutes to move goods from the Warri or
Sapele ports to Aba and even in less time
to Onitsha. As Diette Spiff once observed
while playing golf at Oguta, all it would
take to connect Warri and Oguta is just a
long bridge, and the vast economic
movement will commence between Warri
and its traditional trading areas of Onitsha
and the rest of the East.

Lawyer Writes Buhari
The quantum of economic activity will see
the growth of that corridor between Aba-
Oguta- Obiaruku down to Warri as the crow
flies. The impact of trade between the
Calabar ports and Aba will explode. In fact,
the old trading stations along the Qua-Iboe
River (the Cross River) at Arochukwu,
Afikpo, down to Oron and Mamfe in the
Cameroons will explode and create new
prosperity and new opportunities. I am
giving the short version. So, the Igbo will
be alright. They would simply be just able
to define their own development strategies,
deploy their highly trained manpower
currently wasting unutilized, and the basis
of its vast middle class will create new
consumers, and generate an internal
energy that will thrive on Igbo innovation,
industry, and know-how, which Nigeria
currently suppresses. This is exactly one
very possible scenario.
So, Tanko Yakassi is wrong. May be if the
Igbo leave Kano, the Emir will no longer
need to buy his bulb from an Igbo trader in
Kano. He will have to buy it either from an
Hausa, a Fulani, a Lebanese, or some such
person. But those will have to come to
Igbo land to buy it first before selling to
the Emir. There was a time when all of
West Africa came to Onitsha or Aba to buy
and trade because it was safe, and those
cities were the largest market emporia in
the continent. People came from as far
away as the Congo to buy stuff in Aba and
sell in the Congo. It could happen again,
only this time on a vaster, more controlled
scale. The network of Igbo global trade will
not stop if they left Nigeria. In fact, they
will have more access to an indigenous
credit system that would expand that
trade, currently unobtainable and
unavailable today to them, because
Nigeria makes it impossible for Igbo
business to grow through all kinds of
restrictions strategically imposed on it,
including port restrictions.
However, although I do think that the Igbo
would do quite well alone, they could do a
lot better with Nigeria, if the conditions are
right. This agitation is for the conditions to
be made right; for Nigeria and its political
and economic policies to stop being a
wedge on Igbo aspirations. And Igbo
aspiration is quite simple: to match the
rest of the developed world inch by every
inch, and not to be held down by the
Nigerian millstone of corruption,
inefficiency, and inferiority. The Igbo think
that control of their public policies on
education, research and innovation,
economic and monetary policies, and
recruitment, control and deployment of its
own work force both in public and private
sectors will give them the leverage they
need to build a coherent and civilized
society.

They point to the example of Biafra, where

fuel, creating in their Chemical and
Biological laboratories, new cures for
diseases like Cholera, shaping their own
spare parts, and turning the entire East
into a vast workshop, as Ojukwu put it,
while Nigeria was busy doing owambe,
importing even toothpick, and creating
new wartime millionaires from corrupt
contracting systems by a powerful
oligopoly. It is a fallacy much driven by
ignorance that Igbo will not thrive and that
Igbo land will not accommodate Igbo
population if they leave. That is not true.
There is no scientific basis for it.
The dynamics of human movement will
take great care of all that. It’s a lame
excuse. What people who wish for Nigeria
to stay together should do is not to make
such puerile statements, because it is
meaningless. What we should all do is to
find the strategic means of containing Igbo
discontent by LISTENING to the Igbo, and
seeking peaceful and productive ways of
fully freeing their energy to instigate
growth both of themselves and of Nigeria
within Nigeria for everyone’s benefit.
Threatening them will not work. It has
never worked, and it is important to
understand a bit of Igbo cultural
psychology: the more you threaten him,
the more the Igbo person digs in very
stubbornly. Igbo, with a long tradition of
diplomacy, thrive on consensus not on
threat of the use of force, or the like.
Frankly, those who continue to think that
the Igbo have no options are yet to
understand the complexity of this
movement as we speak. They still look at
the surface of events while the train is
revving and about to leave the station. We
need to work very carefully on this issue. I
myself, I prefer Nigeria. I like its color of
many peoples and cultures. That in itself is
the very condition for growth and
regeneration. A single Igbo nation may be
more prosperous, but will be less
interesting, and that is the more valid
argument.
