ver since former President Jonathan lost
the presidential elections on March 28
2015 which some of us knew he will
never win based on the facts that we all
know and the statistics available, majority of
Igbo have been unhappy and angry. They have
been cursing and abusing the President and APC
leaders wishing that President Buhari never
existed and APC never formed. Many of them
have been so frustrated after the elections that
they are now looking for a way to get back to
the APC controlled Federal government.
Joe Igbokwe writes from Lagos
Now, one Nnamdi Kanu who has been dreaming
about the State of Biafra has provided a space
for them to vent their anger. Some of them have
joined this small boy to begin to wish for the
State of Biafra. Suddenly the so-called Radio
Biafra has created a momentum for them. On
facebook I have watched with a keen interest
what these guys dish out on daily basis in the
name of fighting for Biafra. They tell blatant lies,
they create havoc, they make terrible noise, they
abuse other Nigerians, and they preach
unimaginable propaganda and hate that at once
put Igbo land in potential danger. I have been
waiting for the South East Governors to speak
up but they have maintained a deafening silence
that suggests complicity. I have also waited for
our elders to call this small boy to order but
nothing has happened. With the so-called Radio
Biafra this boy I do not know his age has
unleashed an unimaginable trailer-load of lies
and potentially dangerous propaganda that has
put Igbo nation in danger. It is now 45years
after the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War and I think that
Igbo must rise up to stop this small boy who
never saw the 1967-1970 Civil War and who may
not know the implications of what he is doing.
He has never consulted anybody to seek his
opinion. He has been speaking to the gullible and
not too educated people in Igboland, and very
soon these uneducated people will take a
dangerous decision that may decimate and
destroy Igboland. Soon our people will start
complaining that they were not consulted. To be
fore warned is to be fore armed.
Last week, I saw the photo of a group of people
that gave the impression that they are getting a
military training somewhere in Igboland. This
afternoon I saw another photograph on facebook
with some youths bearing guns and Nnamdi
Kanu standing with them. I may not know where
these pictures came from and what they are
planning to do but this is the time to speak out
and I urge anybody who is anybody who
understands where we are coming from to stand
up now to be counted. Woe betides a nation
whose leaders are children. If we elders do not
talk about this evil, posterity will never forgive
us. Let us speak out and if these children do not
hear us, then it should be on record that we
spoke. About a month ago the barrage of lies
and uncontrolled propaganda Radio Biafra dished
out everyday drew the attention of NBC which
asked Nigerians to stop listening to this useless
Radio Station.
Now here are compelling reasons why Igbo must
remain in Nigeria in their own interest:
Igbo fought a civil war of self determination
between 1967 and 1970 and lost about one
million people. This should be taken as a huge
price for the unity of this country. Having paid
this monumental supreme price I think Igbo
should work for the unity of this country based
on social justice, equity and fair play.
Nigeria has three major ethnic groups: Hausa/
Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo. The Hausa/Fulani
Empire has Hausa people stretching all through
the Sahel to the Sudan. They are mostly Muslims
and they have contact with the Arab world. The
Yoruba nation has Togo, Benin Republic, Sierra
Leone and even up to Brazil and Cuba to run to
where their kinsmen are. Igbo nation has no
outlet anywhere in the world where the language
is spoken. Therefore they must see Nigeria as
where they belong and work for its survival.
Nigeria provided a big space for Igbo to spread
their tentacles, explore, excel and blossom. South
East is too small for this highly mobile and
dynamic people to thrive.
The world pays attention to Nigeria today
because of our size and population. If Nigeria
splits into smaller countries the world will pack
their bag and baggage and leave. Population and
size make a nation a destination.
Assuming we manage to get a State of Biafra
which State in the South East will produce the
first President? When Enugu State was created,
the late Governor C.C Onoh sacked all the Civil
Servants and Teachers from Anambra State.
Recently former governor Orji of Abia State
sacked workers from Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and
Enugu States. Now how can we manage Biafra
with this attitude?
Igbo control 60-70% of all the imports in Nigeria
and other Nigerians, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Ijaw,
Efik, Birom, Tiv, Idoma etc provides huge market
for Igbo mobile and big time traders.
Monumental inter marriages between Igbo and
Yoruba and other ethnic groups have thrived for
close to 70years now that we cannot just
dismiss all these with a wave of hand.
Igbo own huge and massive investments in
property in Lagos and Abuja, and other State
capitals in Nigeria. Now are you going to wish all
this away?
Other Nigerian cities have provided safe haven
for Igbo as places to run to cool off whenever
self inflicted crisis arise or other problems. When
kidnapping became a way of life in the South
East, our people moved to other parts of Nigeria
to settle. Now where will Igbo go when
confronted with these problems in Biafra.
How can Igbo thrive without their Lagos and
Abuja or Port-Harcourt? What happens to all
their connections and relationships in these
places?
Can someone tell Nnamdi Kanu that wars may
be fought for 50years and people will die to
achieve Biafra? The war may even consume
Nnamdi and all the members of his family and
millions of others without achieving the purpose.
We have been so inter-married, interwoven,
intertwined, inter-related that the idea of
separation may not be encouraged. I do not
want to lose my friends from the other parts of
Nigeria for anything.
I can go on but there is no need to continue to
do so. We must be strong enough to stop this
world’s old problems of looking down on people
who are different from us. This is the problem of
Nigeria. Nigeria’s diversity is a big plus for all of
us to excel. United we stand, divided we fall. I
confess that Igbo have not played better politics
in Nigeria since 1970 and that has been our
bane. Anytime we want to change bad leadership
in the country Igbo as a block will resist it. It
happened in 1993 and we lost everything. In
2015 Igbo were at it again but forces of history
prevailed. Igbo can do better than this.
Now we must collectively stop this small boy
called Nnamdi Kanu who is still sucking his
mother’s breast before he endangers the whole
of Igboland and plunge us into a civil war once
again. When a writer is silent he is lying. A story
that must be told never forgives silence. The
only thing necessary for evil to triumph in any
society is that good men do nothing.
However, I want Nigerian leaders to show
leadership by carrying all Nigerians along in
distributing power and resources. If there is no
justice, there will be no peace. If there is no
peace there will be no progress. Let justice
prevail.
Let us be fair to all concerned. If the truth must
prevail and it must prevail, Nigeria has not been
fair to Igbo since the end of civil war. They tell
us that there is no victor and no vanquished but
in actions and deeds the victors are still
celebrating and enjoying the spoils of the war
while the defeated are still languishing in abject
neglect. For instance, of all the six zones in
Nigeria only the South East zone has five States.
We have found solace in all these because we
have found out that those who are still
oppressing the Igbo in Nigeria are not better. We
also take solace in the findings of the Fathers of
the Second Vatican Council that all acts of
indignity against human persons, against human
society debase the perpetrators more than the
victims. It is not that the offended cannot
forgive but have the offenders repented? This
injustice must stop now for the sake of unity of
this country. I wrote Igbos: 25 Years After
Biafra in 1995 thinking that the book will prick
the conscience of other Nigerians but they have
not paid any attention. It has been business as
usual. Now, President Buhari must address this
injustice. Case rested!
