Ingenuity Of An Average Igbo Person by 1people: 6:17pm On Apr 04, 2017
In 1970, just after the war, the University of Nigeria, Nsụka re-opened to continue tertiary education. But there were too many problems and faults as a result of destructions. One of such big issues was WATER. The sunken borehole before the war had been damaged during the war. Nigerian government, in a bid to intervene, sent some Nigerian engineers to fix the borehole. The said engineers, after grandstanding around the stuff for weeks and have probably shown they knew it all, declared the UNN water system "dead, forever". This meant an entirely new water system would have to be done which will cost more money and take more time while the water scarcity deals brutally with the staff and students. Whoever passed through UNN would understand what a big treasure water is in that part of Igboland!
When the moribund and pessimistic Nigerian engineers had left with their Nigerian incompetence, Gordian Ezekwe — an Igbo scientist from Abagana who headed the Rocket Group of Research and Production Board that made Ogbunigwe and refined oil in Biafra — went to the system unit and SINGLEHANDEDLY fixed the water system in a short time and water supply returned again to the University. The same water system is what UNN is still using till today — 47 years after!
If you want more facts about this, check historians like Ed, Chyke or ask the first UNN Registrar and novelist, Chukwuemeka Ike who's presently the traditional ruler of Ndikeliọnwụ in Anambara State.
Lesson: A big country doesn't amount to big resourcefulness. That's Nigeria. A country can be small with mighty minds in it. That's Biafra. Incompetence is another word for Nigeria and it would always be for it will continue to lower standards for dafts and dunces to comfortably find a space and go high up the ladder. Many Igbos want Biafra not out of emotions but because they want to be dissociated from the culture of incompetence so that they can grow.
