Politics / Should Igbo Tax Themselves To Build Second Niger Bridge? By AZUKA ONWUKA by alabiafra09: 6:00pm On Sep 10, 2015
I grew up in a community where government was far from the people and nobody waited for government to do anything for the community. Roads were created or paved by the community or wealthy individuals. Bridges were constructed by the community or individuals; the same for water, security, churches, schools, markets, etc.

Even the amenities that were managed by government like pipe borne water, electricity, post office, teaching hospital, college of medicine, library, etc, were financed and established by the community before the government took them over. In plain language, I grew up in an environment where the people did the work of government without even complaining about it. It is the bunu-bunu-ibu-anyi-danda philosophy: the philosophy that stresses that when people work together, nothing is impossible. That philosophy also has a subset: Obele azu kpata obele nku; nnukwu azu kpata nnukwu nku (which ensures that the small pulls its small weight while the big pulls its big weight). That way, the job gets done, and everybody is happy and proud.

The recent announcement by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari that ongoing construction of the Second Niger Bridge might be suspended until the integrity of the bridge, cost and other issues were sorted out caused some furore, especially among the Igbo, as they are the main beneficiaries of the bridge. There were fears that the suspension could drag on for long and become an unofficial cancellation, and in 2019, the Second Niger Bridge will be remembered and used as a campaign tool again.

As far back as 1980, crossing over the Niger Bridge into Onitsha during the Christmas season was a tough task. I remember travelling from Ondo State with my father some days before Christmas that year and we had to leave early in the morning to cross the bridge before the traffic jam of the afternoon as reported later by kinsmen coming home from Lagos the same day. Having a second bridge across the River Niger had since then been a promise that was made and never fulfilled. The issue of the Second Niger Bridge was a serious issue long before the 11.8-kilometre Third Mainland Bridge was completed by General Ibrahim Babangida in 1990. President Goodluck Jonathan constructed the Loko-Oweto Bridge linking Benue with Nasarawa across River Benue. Meanwhile the width of the River Niger across which the bridge will be constructed is not up to one kilometre, even though the Second Niger Bridge is expected to be much longer than the width of the River Niger.

But there is no need to lament or sink into despair over the bridge. There is no need to feel bad or to be apprehensive about the fate of the bridge. Rather than bicker over the bridge, let there be an alternative option to the construction of the Second Niger Bridge.

Is there any law that states that only the Federal Government can construct a bridge? I doubt that. The Lagos State Government constructed the Ikoyi Bridge recently. Anambra State Government constructed the Odo Bridge a few years ago too. They may not be as big or long as the Second Niger Bridge, but they are bridges too.

If the difference between the Odo Bridge and the Niger Bridge is that River Niger is federal waterway, I doubt if the Lagos lagoon between Ikoyi and Lekki falls under state waterways.

Even though the Niger Bridge connects the South-East to the South-South as well as serves as the link to and from the South-West and the northern part of Nigeria, no other zone shows any real concern over it except the South-East. Therefore to solve the perennial frustration over the Second Niger Bridge, let the South-East states start the process of raising the funds to construct the bridge. Let the Federal Government be approached by the South-East states for permission to construct the bridge.

The cost of constructing the Second Niger Bridge was put at N108bn when it was commissioned last year under the public-private partnership scheme. The Federal Government would contribute N30bn (28 per cent), while the consortium (JB-NSIA) would raise the 72 per cent. The bridge was scheduled to be completed in four years.

I therefore suggest the setting up of a trust fund and a board of trustees to manage the fund that will be raised by the people for the bridge. If 20 million Igbo adults contribute a minimum of N2, 500 per annum, in four years that will be N10, 000 per person. That comes to N200bn, almost double the cost of the bridge. But because all heads are not equal, a graduated levy should be fixed as follows: N10, 000, N100, 000, N1, 000,000, N10, 000,000. This amount will be paid over a period of four years. Given the importance of the bridge, I will willingly stretch my resources to financial limits to contribute to the fund. I am certain that many Igbo sons and daughters will gladly contribute to the construction of the bridge, including those who don't even use the bridge and those who live in the Diaspora.

The back and forth over the Second Niger Bridge has become like a ridicule. It looks like the bait given to a tethered monkey with a banana: when the monkey stretches its hand to get the banana, the owner of the banana moves the banana back, only to stretch it towards the monkey minutes later once the monkey has moved back. The poor monkey continues to live on hope that is never realised while the banana owner enjoys the plight of the monkey.

If the Federal Government insists on constructing the Second Niger Bridge, let the South-East states ask for permission to start the construction of the Third Niger Bridge, while the FG continues the ding dong with the Second Niger Bridge.

There is no need to continue to bank on the Federal Government's goodwill to construct the bridge. There is no need to continue to feel sad or angry over the non-realisation of the bridge. If the current old and over-used bridge collapses, the majority of those that will die will be South-East people. And all through the period the bridge will remain unfixed, the South-East will be the major victims.

Also if the bridge is built by the people, there will be no tolling on it as against the 25-year tolling arrangement with the consortium.

Let nobody cry or bicker over the Second Niger Bridge. If the bridge will continue to be a recurring story, let the people build the bridge and move on to other things.

Hello Nairalanders.

I am the admin at ala Nigeria Forum, a discussion forum for Biafrans and Friends of Biafra.

I started the forum to give Biafrans a platform to Read about Biafra, Learn the Biafran Ideology and also for Biafrans in every part of the world to interact and discuss just about anything, without any limitation.

But since i started it and have tried promoting it, Biafrans have really not bought into the idea. Some say that i am an opportunist. Tell me, what is opportunistic in giving my people a voice? Besides, we do not advertise on . We are not that poor.

Maybe i am not doing something right. Maybe you could do a better Job.

Please if you know you can promote this forum better, contact me on forum (chinedu) let's discuss your terms.

It might not come this year or even the next 50 years, But what i know for a fact is that one day, We must return to our Promised land.

Politics / Nigeria Is Already Disintegrating – Soyinka By Prisca Sam-duru by alabiafra09: 6:08pm On Aug 17, 2015
Prof. Wole Soyinka, said, yesterday, that despite the fact that there is no formal break up of the country, the nation was already disintegrating due to the refusal of the government to embrace national dialogue.
Soyinka said this while speaking on "The quest for justice, tolerance and non-violent change" at a presentation highlighting Dr Martin Luther King jr and the American civil rights movement, organised by the Public Affairs Section of the US Consulate General in Lagoon at the Freedom Park, Lagoon.
According to him, "the presidential system of government is totally unfitted to the governance of monkeys and baboons. The legislators have become a bastion of corruption while the system operational in the country encourages corruption."
Soyinka, who maintained his stance on Sovereign National Conference as panacea to salvaging Zoo from total collapse said: "We can even remove the word sovereign, there is need for national dialogue because if we don't have a national dialogue, we will have monologues. Public detonators are monologues, Boko Haram is a hyper active secession by their expelling people in some states, purging it of the people who they believe don't share their ideologies.

Dr.Joe Okei-Odumakin, Prof.Wole Soyinka and Past.Tunde Bakare during A Town Hall Meeting by the Save Zoo Group and Allies in Lagoon
"Zamfara State, during the last tenure of government, led in declaring itself a theocratic state and had some other states joining. Those are monologues. Despite loss of lives and traumatisation, the cravings for the emancipation of Blacks were a remarkable struggle on the part of the American civil rights as their struggle for justice, peace and equity paid off.
"What we have now is not a constitution because it was handed over to us by a bunch of neocolonialists in military uniform; they worked out that constitution. So, we need a single constitution binding all major issues in the country."
Soyinka, who noted that the recent industrial action by civil societies and Labour was a necessary struggle for justice and prosperity, also cited the monkey and Baboon civil war as a clear case of quest for justice and equity on the part of Biafrans, pointing out that although he is not strictly pro-Biafra, he was against the injustice meted on Biafrans since it is morally right to want to secede.
He also recounted the degradation that existed during the segregation of Blacks not only in the Western world but here in Zoo during British rule which regrettably, he argued, is still existing among monkeys and baboons.

Politics / Dear Biafrans- By Etcetera by alabiafra09: 7:01am On Aug 01, 2015
Etcetera talks about the state of Biafra, the recent shut down of Radio Biafra and how he thinks the Igbos have been marginalized in Nigeria. He also talked about the growth of Nigeria.

I have been receiving a lot of mails and phone calls in recent weeks requesting that I lend my voice in support of the ongoing campaign for the sovereign state of Biafra and to also speak up against the recent shut down of Radio Biafra by National Broadcasting Commission. I have decided to make my opinion known to those who have been bombarding me with requests to support the Biafran movement.


Yes, I believe that the Igbo have been marginalised in Nigeria right from 1970 till date. I also believe that as a people, the Igbo have every right to speak out and seek redress. I believe that no tribe or ethnic group in Nigeria deserves to be marginalised or shut out by certain quarters of government because of an incident of the past. Just like every Igbo man, I believe that Biafra was a good dream born out of a necessity at that time. It was a good dream which went horribly wrong and became a nightmare for us, the Igbo people and the whole of Nigeria from 1967 to 1970, from which I believe we have woken up.


It will be foolhardy to dream the same dream in the same way and manner without thoroughly accounting for why and how it turned into a nightmare, and factoring in the changes that have taken place in Nigeria since the 1960s.


The thought that the actualisation of the sovereign state of Biafra is in itself the solution to all the problems of Ndigbo is to display an understandable naivety about human nature and today’s politics. What we need as a people is a new vision that will encompass the lessons of the past, the changes that have taken place since the end of the civil war, the reality of present day Nigeria and demand for a system founded on justice, liberty and equality under the rule of law for Ndigbo and non Igbo as well.

I believe this new vision is attainable. They say charity begins at home and in this regard, I believe it is time for every honest and sincere Igbo man or woman, to channel his or her energy towards actualising good leadership and government in Igboland by joining the political process. It is time for every one of us to unite against corruption in our land.

It is time for Ndigbo to come together to reverse this ubiquitous trend of bad leadership ravishing Igboland and put in place a system that would enable the best of us to emerge as leaders. Great nations are ruled by their best minds and not by a band of common thieves without respect for individual liberty and democracy that do nothing but devise ingenious ways to looting the treasury and serve the vilest and most primitive of human instincts.

Without this political and cultural change embedded in the concept of our future, Igboland will remain underdeveloped, and that in itself, will constitute a gargantuan problem for us in the future. Making this necessary change in igboland will ensure that if and ever or when Nigeria collapses as a result of our collective idiocy, irresponsibility, ignorance and corruption, and the jumbo pay of politicians, Ndigbo will be better placed to build a new nation based on justice, equality, rule of law, tolerance, development and honesty. War has never been the solution to any problem.

I didn’t witness the civil war but from what I saw in my recent visit to Maiduguri, Adamawa and Plateau state, I have become a disciple of dialogue as a means to resolve issues. If Biafra will become a reality, it shouldn’t be through the barrel of a gun. It is wrong to seek divorce by putting a gun to your spouse’s head. We should realise that a divorce from Nigeria is also possible if the Nigeria state comes to its natural end because of years of ethnic and religious prejudices, injustices, and vision-less irresponsible, corrupt leadership that failed to lay the foundation of a viable state and make the necessary social investment for its survival.

This might be the natural course of events if Nigeria continues to sleep walk into disaster and neglect honest nation building. We shouldn’t continue to pursue the Biafra dream in the way and manner some people and groups are doing at the moment without regard to the present reality. It can only undermine the whole essence of the struggle. As an Igbo man, there is nothing I want for Igbo that I do not want for other ethnic groups. There is nothing

I wish for my fellow Christians that I do not wish for Muslims. We are all humans after all. We are all brothers and sisters divided by language, skin colours and religion. I believe that enlightenment is recognition of this basic facts, and that underneath our skins, flows blood of the same colour and minds that can think alike and able to overcome the prejudices which our difference try to impose on our judgment. There is nothing that can justify the killing of a fellow man. I can only lend my voice to a vision that doesn’t entail the destruction of lives and property.

I am sorry to say that the continuous clamour for the recognition of Biafra by America may not yield much because of the selfish nature of America’s foreign policy. If there is nothing in it for America, America won’t get involved. We are a great and industrious people.

For a start, won’t it be better to seek economic independence and have Nigeria and the rest of the world depend on us for something? Today, Africa has gone from car assemblage to total manufacturing.

I am proud that I am alive to witness this history, that a Nigerian made car can actually be better that the Toyotas and Hondas of this world, and it is all due to the ingenuity of an Igbo man. Ndigbo, this can be a place to start. Igbo kwenu!!

Politics / Nigeria Perpetuates Violence And Insecurity In Igboland By Herbert Ekwe-ekwe by alabiafra09: 8:57am On Jul 24, 2015
In these very turbulent times, the recent high profile summit of leading Igbo human rights scholars (including respected literary critic Ben Obumselu) and activists (including influential lawyer Olisa Agbakoba) at the Ofuobi African Centre, Enuugwu, may well be the turning point on the ground in Igboland to decisively chart the final phase of the course to the restoration of Igbo sovereignty.

Away from the usual heart-rending equivocations and staggering untruths that emanate from occupation-appointed officials and acolytes and by uncritical commentators (some of who are, amazingly, Igbo!) on the source of the current violence and insecurity in Igboland, the summit's communiqué lays the case squarely on the Zoo state - its "siege and occupation" of Igboland, as the text appositely states. It elaborates, most profoundly:
[Igboland] has become militarized with a vast deployment of expeditionary and predatory police and army personnel who are from outside the region. For instance, there are 61 Police check-points between Abakal[e]k[e] ... to Nsukka ... (a distance of about 130km). In [contrast] between Obolo-Afo [Igboland] and Lokoja [Zoo] (a distance of nearly 400 km) no checkpoints exist. This state of siege is exemplified by the current [situation] of ... [Igbo] cities [including] Aba, [Enuugwu, Abakaleke, Onicha, Owere] and Nnewi - hitherto the fastest growing and thriving industrial cum commercial cities in the African continent now being turned into refuse dumps and ghettos. Businesses that would have provided jobs to engage our youths have been strangulated by incompetent and criminal leadership.

The summiteers conclude with a 10-point resolution and demand made on the occupation state, three of which are particularly pertinent:
1. Immediate demilitarisation of Igboland by dismantling all checkpoints and security barricades that it has set up across the country

2. Immediate rescinding of the deployment of Zoo military forces to Igboland on the spurious mission of fighting kidnapping, instead reorienting policing from expeditionary operations to intelligence-based operations in cooperation with communities

3. Immediate and unconditional release and withdrawal of illegal criminal charges of members of the Movement for Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafran (MASSOB) including Ralph Uwazurike, Uche Okwukwu, and other prisoners of conscience

What is clearly evident is that the accent, presently, on Zoo's unrelenting genocide on the Igbo, since the 1966-1970 foundational stretch when it murdered 3.1 million of the people, focuses on demolishing the crucial socioeconomic architecture of their collective being. Pointedly, this preoccupation constitutes one of the five acts of genocide explicitly defined in article 2 of the December 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: "deliberately inflicting upon the group conditions of life designed to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" (the Sudan's head of regime Omar al-Bashir's recent indictment for genocide, by the International Criminal Court, was effected partly because of his regime's perpetration of this particular act of genocide in Darfur - see previous blog posting).

If one refers, for example, to the innumerable public statements on the Igbo genocide made over the years by Olusegun Obasanjo, a fiendish operative of this heinous crime and ex-head of regime in Zoo, Zoo has since been deeply troubled by its failure to accomplish its dreadful objective of annihilating the Igbo population 44 years ago. It therefore considers its current project of destroying the socioeconomic heritage and viability of the Igbo nation a sufficiently lethal tactical plank to accomplish its much vaunted, gruesome mission. Since 1970, the primary ambition of a typical monkey and Baboon police officer graduating from police colleges in Zoo is to be deployed to Igboland; he/she readily bribes their commandants to receive the coveted Igboland posting where they make an incredible fortune in just a few years of their placements at the myriad checkpoints, detaining/kidnapping/extorting money or a range of choice consumer products from road users. Even Igbo school children going to and from school, are not exempt from this officially-sponsored, openly-organised brigandage. Igbo homes and businesses (particularly shops and markets), as can be expected, are also regular targets of this institutionalised thieving spree. We mustn't forget that, just over seven years to the day (10 July 2003), it was a Raphael Ige, a monkey and Baboon assistant inspector general of police, who spectacularly carried out the kidnapping of then governor Chris Ngige of the Anambra region, northwest Igboland. Ige was a key executioner in the Ngige abduction plot, which was planned and authorised by the Obasanjo regime to divert Anambra public funds to Obasanjo-recruited hirelings opposed to the ongoing reconstruction of Igboland.

Abduction, detention and extortion constitute the 3-headed monster that the monkey and Baboon occupation employs to savage the Igbo economy - most ruthlessly and most remorselessly. In essence, and perhaps most perversely cast, the Igbo nation subsidises its very own occupation - an indirect taxation thereof, amounting to millions and millions of US dollars of savings annually for the near-bankrupt Zoo treasury. Given the paltry state of its finances, Zoo cannot afford its continuing occupation of Igboland without its simultaneous ravaging of the legendary wealth of Igboland. The Igbo therefore carry the burden of this occupation with all its tragic ramifications. There are no comparable occupations elsewhere in the contemporary world with the same viciousness and severity.

What happens next in Igboland? When will the Zoo military and police forces depart - as duly demanded by the Igbo human rights practitioners? How do the Igbo shut down this occupation? The Igbo demands are for immediate implementation. Zoo must comply with these demands. The Igbo should now ensure that Zoo evacuates its occupying military and police forces from their country forthwith. The Igbo are not monkey and Baboon. The Igbo are from Biafra. The Igbo are Biafran. Whilst the Igbo worked extraordinarily hard by playing the vanguard role in the liberation of Zoo from the British conquest (beginning from the 1930s), the Igbo ceased to be monkey and Baboon on 29 May 1966. This was the day Zoo launched the Igbo genocide. The Igbo renouncement of their monkey and Baboon citizenship is the irrevocable Igbo indictment on a state that embarked on the destruction of 3.1 million Igbo people, one-quarter of the nation's population at the time. The only future a genocide-state has is its dismantling - nothing else.

The Igbo should now stop paying the millions and millions of US dollars worth of expropriation tax that sustains the occupation and their subjugation. One must never, ever, be a participant in their incarceration, their deindividuation. A general, indefinite strike across the Igbo country should be called forthwith, demanding the unconditional dismantling of Zoo's barriers of extortion and expropriation, and the evacuation of its military/police bases from their land. An extensive and continuing-evolving organisation is required as this march of freedom develops. All strata of the 50 million Igbo population, at home and abroad, must be mobilised - particularly women organisations, farmers, youth/students' bodies, the redoubtable umuada and umunna circuits, market/allied trade guilds, custodians and overseers of Igbo traditional religious places of worship, the clergy and the rest of the intellectuals. The Igbo clergy, for instance, has its work cut out. The role of the church in national freedom movements has been invaluable as the world has seen in places like Poland, the United States (the African American church, for example), several countries in Latin America and, of course, back home in Biafra as occurred 44 years ago - surely in the next sermon in the churches and cathedrals of the land, the congregation will be interested to learn of the legacies of the venerables Akanu Ibiam, Godfery Okoye, Benjamin Nwankiti... The Igbo expect their intellectuals, many of who are part of the world's best and brightest, to play a critical role in responding to this existential threat to their nation. Already, there exists a rich legacy of the outstandingly selfless role played by Igbo intellectuals to Igboland at the onset of the genocide to build upon.

Finally, the rest of the world must know of the historic Enuugwu human rights community declaration and the measures being taken by the Igbo to free their homeland. The text of the communiqué should be distributed worldwide, particularly to institutions and agencies working on genocide, human rights, peace and freedom. The use of all the creative avenues of new technology is paramount. Igbo website networks will indeed be very busy in the coming days and weeks. The millions of Igbo émigrés, especially those in Europe and North America, should begin, right away, to lobby their elected representatives(members of parliament/deputies/congresspeople/senators) on these breathtaking developments and also seek support and solidarity from civil and human rights bodies in their community, region or country of domicile. Students should take up this campaign in their unions, clubs and societies on resumption after the summer vacation. The office of Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, The Hague, should be contacted at once with the astonishingly vast documentation that the current and previous phases of the Igbo genocide attest to. Last year's British Broadcasting Corporation's investigation of the Zoo police murdering-escapades in Enuugwu as well as that of Amnesty International's wider canvass of investigation on the same police barbarities in other parts of occupied Igboland and Zoo (see links below) are indispensible additions to the existing dossier on the genocide:
