The Igbos Ambition To Save Nigeria - A Good Article To Read by thekokofacts: 12:25pm On Jul 15, 2022 |
Just found this article interesting. No copyright intended. Excerpt from the article Having the ambition to fix Nigeria as an Igbo is not a problem. The problem is, will other tribes tolerate you when you want to cut their excesses? . I don’t know much of Nigeria’s political history, but I can remember when Prof Dora Akunyili of blessed memory was the director general of NAFDAC, how she fought against adulterated drugs. Igbo traders in the Drug and Allied market at Bridge-Head Onitsha were mostly affected. A lot of goods were seized and burnt. In fact the battle affected more Igbos than other tribes. Nigerians applauded her. She successfully completed her service at NAFDAC, and was later appointed as Nigeria’s Minister of Information during the regime of Late President Umaru Yar’Adua. She carried forward the energy to rebrand Nigeria. And it wasn’t too long, she’d already given Nigeria the slogan we use today; Nigeria, Good People, Great Nation. Then, when you tune to NTA, you hear her talk about MDG goals, Agenda 2020…and all the promising projects which gave hope that Nigeria was driving somewhere. She was very keen to save Nigeria. Her Nigeria rebranding campaign gained global attention. Everything was going smoothly until the then President Umaru Yar’Adua got ill and was flown out of the country. For weeks, Nigerians were kept in the dark as to the health situation of the president. Even as the Minister of Information, Dora could not give the exact account of the situation of the president as she had no access to the President. Tension was everywhere. It was at that hot moment that Prof Dora, tabled a memo advising the Federal Executive Council to accept that Yar’Adua was no longer fit to lead. And requested that power should be handed over to Jonathan who happened to be the Vice President at the time... Source: https://opdato.com/the-ambition-to-save-nigeria-as-an-igbo/ 1 Like

This election is exposing the problem of Nigeria and why everyone is suffering, |

This is more like an Igbo woman trying to save Nigerians from Igbo fake drug dealers. Have you noticed the recent spike in the number of Nigerians coming down with kidney problems? I can bet my last cent that it is due to adulterated products which Igbo are the main producers. |

ElSudani:You don't attribute it to igbos alone, that she chose to expose her own people doesn't mean that we don't have other dealers elsewhere, are igbos the only ones suffering from organ related diseases? those other trad-medics in ibadan and Osun, what certifications do they have? |

mycar: Igbos are the major traders of fake drugs. Only God knows how many Nigerians have died due to this heartless trade. |
Re: The Igbos Ambition To Save Nigeria - A Good Article To Read by mycar: 3:40pm On Jul 15, 2022 |
ElSudani:it is subject to a debate, eitherways, it's as a result of leadership failure in the part of the government, their inability to live up to their responsibilities. |

mycar: Indeed. |

ElSudani:If Igbos have done half of what herdsmen have currently done to other Nigerians, by now, Igbos will be an endangered specie. |
