Someone asked me, is it really true that after the civil war, Nigeria made a law and the only thing Igbos were entitled to was 20 pounds, no matter how much they had in the bank? The answer is yes. It was so cruel that sane people would doubt it. 

It was intended to create a generational almajiric poverty pandemic but it failed, we reached deep down our inner man, "perspire to acquire" and we rose.

What that meant is this, averagely, Igbos were rendered so poor, so miserable that they had to start afresh with just 20 pounds in 1970, immediately after the civil war.

But today, if you must maintain over 80% of the cars in Nigeria, you are over 90% sure of paying to Igbos as they are everywhere providing your car spare parts needs; from 20 pounds we rose!

Today, if there are 4 Nigerians in diaspora making Nigeria proud, in invention, in academics, in every human endeavor, you are 95% sure that 2 out of the 4 are Igbos; from 20 pounds, we rose!

Today, if you must build, you are over 70% certain of paying to Igbos, as they are scattered everywhere rendering services of making building materials available; from 20 pounds, we rose!

Today, if you feel too good with yourself that you want to change your electronics, ICT gadgets, phones, and etc, there are over 50% chances you will be paying the Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!

Today, probably looking at half of your wardrobe, there are 50% chances you paid directly or indirectly to Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!

Today, if you are tired of government failed healthcare system, there are 50% chances that your need of private medical care will be provided by Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!

Today, if you are able to afford your medications provided by indigenous pharmaceutical firms as against the CUT-THROAT price of multi national brands, there are over 70% chances that Igbos are meeting your needs, from 20 pounds, we rose!

If you must watch movies, there are over 70% chances that we will be on your faces, from 20 pounds, we rose!

If you must watch Nigeria entertain you with football as national pride, there are over 60% chances that Igbos are the one making you happy, from 20 pounds, we rose!

If your Olympic team must make sense, there are about 50% chances that you have embraced Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!

See, you can no longer destroy Igbos without rendering Nigeria eternally colourless. Yes, you can't destroy Igbos again.

They say we boast and gloat, if your ancestors passed through what ours passed through and in a little above 5 decades, you rose to where we are, your boast will be more than ours. Besides, boasting is not a "sin" punishable by death, hate or hunting down.

We are no longer begging for survival, we are stamping our feet that we will no longer apologise for being Igbos.

You might not like our boasts, you might not like our noise, is that not little a price for the colour we add to Nigeria? 

Look around you, tell me the truth, if Igbos are removed from your immediate environment, how colourful will that your environment still be? Your doctor, your football star, movie star, pharmacist, pharmacy, private hospital, petty traders, spare parts supplier, building material supplier, music stars, cloth and shoe makers...etc?

We add colour to Nigeria.

We are not actually a problem, we are largely a pool of solution.

We are Igbos, we survived the Nigerian Holocaust and Genocide!

We should learn one thing, Hate Speech portrays the weakness in us.

The truth be told, most times the lady keeping guys as friends, has tis particular feeling for one of them.
I once had a female friend; we have been friends from our secondary school day, I took the friendship as par "friends," not knowing she hanged-on in the friendship of 15years for a purpose. I was dating someone then, she was too, dating someone. But, she told me something "Dear, we have been friends for long, and our love is growing naturally, can we give it the strength it needs?" I wobbled. That lead to the gradual fade of our friendship. Thank God she's married now; for if I did give in, she would have missed her husband to be.
My point: Every friendship has a purpose, when the purpose is destroyed, it becomes vague to be in such relationship; anything can happen!

Chairman, Council of Ulama of Jama’atu Izalatul
Bidi’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheik Sani
Yahaya Jingir has called for a fresh election in the
event of death or incapacitation of a Nigerian
President.
He stated that the present arrangement as contained in
the Nigerian Constitution where the vice president
takes over should not be the case.
Jingir spoke in Bauchi at the matriculation of the
students of Sunnah College Bauchi.
The cleric opined that the present arrangement had
opened an avenue where the president was exposed to
uncertainty while his vice was confident of becoming
president whether Nigerians liked him or not.
“If this arrangement is maintained as it is, it will pose
a lot of political uncertainties and security threat to us
as a nation. “We elected the President as the President. If he dies or incapacitated, there should be a fresh election. “If this anomaly is not addressed, then we are not secured because a dishonest Vice President may work against him to get his seat. “Is the right to personal opinion guaranteed in our constitution? Then this is my personal opinion,” he said.
Sheik Jingir also faulted the arrangement where all the 36 states produce 3 senators each regardless of their land mass and population, noting that such places the bigger and populated states at a disadvantage.

Enjoying my evening!
