This people really need the support of the government to grow and developed in their production....

We can have thousands of ajaokuta steel industries here, if actual support is given to this people by the government...

I love the Igbo's, they are everywhere and doing great.

The legendary blacksmiths of Awka, capital of Anambra State, grind out a living from their trade, apparently abandoned by government and community leaders. NWANOSIKE ONU reports, with additional writing by OGOCHU-KWU IKEJE
Everyone knows they are a special breed and that they have gifted fingers. What is not quite clear is why the gift of Awka master craftsmen has not made a way for them.
They can tell from the colour of a burning piece of metal in the furnace just when it is ready for the hammer and the anvil. As the furnace heat intensifies, the metal turns red, then orange before it becomes white. At this stage the workman pulls out the metal with a tool, lowers it to the anvil and brings down the hammer on it. In time, he bends and cuts the object into the desired shape and out comes another wonderful piece of artistry.
The blacksmiths of Awka predate colonialism and even recorded Western history. They fashioned their armlets and bracelets with the same ease as they produced their hunting and agricultural tools or kitchenware. In the modern era, the blacksmiths who learnt the trade from their forebears have been churning out almost anything one can imagine.
