Salihu Tanko Yakasai, a former Special
Political Adviser to former President
Shehu Shagari, has chided Igbos
agitating for their own country, Biafra. He said it amounted to playing to the
gallery if the same people clamouring
to be on their own, still live and do
business in other states of Nigeria,
which they are seeking to exit. Yakasai, who recently commented on IPOB and MASSOB leaders, noted that even if Biafra is achieved, “everybody
is aware that the major ethnic groups
in Nigeria are Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.
The day there is no Nigeria, the Igbo
will have no alternative than to
relocate to their states.” “The reality is that the three major
ethnic groups, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo,
need Nigeria. Every one of them needs
Nigeria”, he told Daily Trust. “In Yoruba land, Most of the industries
are located in the South-West, mainly
in Lagos, some in Ogun and some in
Ibadan. According to a letter written
by the late General Adeyinka Adebayo,
the industries in Oyo are owned by Lebanese and Indians, but 70 per cent
of the industries located in Lagos State
are owned by Igbo. “So the industries that are
manufacturing goods in the South-
West and some in the Eastern Region
have the whole of Nigeria as their
market, a market of about 200 million
people. If there is no Nigeria, there would not be that market and what
would be the consequences of lack of
market? “First, the goods cannot be sold, there
will be no production and there will be
unemployment, and the people that
are employed in industries located in
the South-West are largely Yoruba. The
day there is no Nigeria, there will be massive unemployment in the South-
West. “This is apart from the food and
livestock they are getting from the
North. If there is no Nigeria, they will
not get them, and if they are going to
import, it will take time and will be
costly. By nature, they cannot grow livestock and some food items in their
area. The geographical situation in
South-West is different from that of the
North; the animals they are growing
do not enough meat and milk, unlike
the ones in the North. “For the Igbo, at present there is no
village where there is a flourishing
market where you cannot have the
Igbo conducting their own businesses.
And they are living in peace; nobody is
harassing them. They live within thousands of other ethnic groups and
nobody is attacking them. “It is a well known fact that the
business of building materials is
surrendered to Igbo people, as well as
electrical appliances, fittings and spare
parts. Commuter transportation; those
luxury buses that are plying our roads from one state to another are owned
by the Igbo.
