President Muhammadu Buhari has slammed those calling for the sovereignty of the Biafra and Oduduwa Republics, saying they are ignorant. Buhari said he expected them to be thinking of how to be suggesting initiatives to attract investors to the country. President Buhari The President said this on Thursday during a live interview with Arise TV, monitored by SaharaReporters. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), led by Nnamdi Kanu has been clamouring for the sovereign nation of Biafra as a result of alleged marginalisation, killings and hatred being shown to Igbo people. In the same manner, Oyo-based rights activist and businessman, Sunday Igboho has gained massive support in the South-West in his demand for Oduduwa Republic for Yoruba people. “Yes, I think of Nigeria. Nigerians can say what they want to say. They want their republics. They don’t think about resources. How to share what we have. Buhari during the interview said those agitators are delusional in their thinking as they neglect the issue of resources for Nigerians to survive. “They don’t think (of) how to win the confidence of investors. I think they allow their ignorance to disorganise the country,” Buhari said. http://saharareporters.com/2021/06/10/why-i-think-agitators-biafra-yoruba-republics-are-ignorant—buhari

Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader has
maintained that the Indigenous
People of Biafra and its security
outfit, the Eastern Security
Network are not the unknown
gunmen wreaking havoc in the
DAILY POST reports that the
activities of the unknown gunmen
have worsened the security crisis
in the region. The gunmen have killed scores of security operatives while government facilities including police stations and Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC offices in the Southeast and some parts of South-South have been destroyed. While the police and other security agencies have consistently accused the IPOB and the ESN of being the unknown gunmen, Kanu, leader of the group has repeatedly claimed his loyalists are not responsible for the attacks. In a tweet on his official Twitter handle on Wednesday the Biafra freedom fighter said the accusation by the government was a plot to justify “genocide attacks currently going on in the region”. The tweet reads, “It’s pathetic that the Nigerian government & its security forces are now spreading the LIE that “IPOB Killed 128 Military, Police Personnel”. “This lie is aimed at justifying the GENOCIDE that is currently underway in #SoutheastNigeria. Again, IPOB & ESN are not unknown gunmen”. https://dailypost.ng/2021/06/09/ipob-esn-not-unknown-gunmen-nnamdi-kanu-insists/ |

The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has counselled the Aare Onakakanfo, Chief Gani Adams to drop his militant disposition now that he is a leader of the Yoruba race. It also cautioned the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land who said the alleged killing of the resident of Igangan town, Ibarapa, Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State is a declaration of war on the southwest by the north. The CNG, through its spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman on Tuesday warned that any attack against northerners in any part of the south for the only reason that they are northerners living as minorities in other communities would not be acceptable. Suleiman said the CNG finds it ridiculous that Gani Adams who holds a high position in Yoruba land would still be unable to overcome his former militant tendencies and conform to rules of decency required by his title. “We find it outrageous for Adams to so readily attribute the attacks to the north whereas the actual attackers have not yet been officially identified. For Adams to just jump to such a conclusion that the attacks were carried out by the north and even call it a declaration of war speaks volumes of the mindset of the typical southerner against the entire northern region,” the CNG stated. It described as contradictory that Adams who is quick to beat drums of war against the north was the same OPC leader that cheered recent attacks and killings of non- Yoruba residents of the same Igangan by Yoruba gangs under Sunday Ighoho which the CNG claimed the southern media downplayed.“We find it outrageous for Adams to so readily attribute the attacks to the north whereas the actual attackers have not yet been officially identified.

A new state has been proposed from Abia, Rivers and Imo State. Proponents of the new state called ENOA say its creation will fast- track development in Abia /Rivers corridor considering the rich oil deposit in the region. Coordinator of ENOA State Movement Associate Professor Onwubiko Dike, told newsmen in Aba that the viability of the proposed state plus the cultural affinity among the people had made its creation necessary. “ENOA State is a very viable state which has 220 functional oil Wells and 90 capped oil Wells. “The place is fertile, we have palms and we have tourist attractions. “There is just nothing that one should be afraid of in creating the state and that is why we are asking for ENOA State”, he said. He also cited marginalisation of the affected clans by their current states as reason for the agitation for the new state. On how they arrived at the name for the proposed state, he said “ENOA is an acronym derived from the five areas or clans demanding for the state.” He said the letters of the acronym were taken from the initials of the areas forming the state which includes Etche, Ndoki, Obigbo, Omuma and Asa. He said the people of the new state he common descent and were together under Ahoada and later Obehie magisterial districts before they were scattered by state creation. “Before this time, all of us had one common place, Obehie, that hosted our Magistrate Court. “Everybody was assembling there including those of them in Rivers State, Omuma and Etche. “We have everything in common. The dialect is the same thing, our mode of dressing, and everything because of our common cultural ancestry. “With this 1999 Constitution review, and state creation in it, we chose this opportunity which we had sought for all this time because we are now minorities in all the states where they put us. “In Abia, we are minority, in Akwa Ibom, we are a minority, in Rivers State, we are a minority and this has not helped us politically and in terms of development, we are disadvantaged”, he said. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/06/group-wants-new-state-carved-out-from-rivers-abia-imo-states/ |

contest for president in 2023. A group of youths that goes by the name “Saraki is Coming in 2023” staged a rally to apologize for scolding the former Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, in the past and call on him to The event led by Umar Faringida, the coordinator of the group, saw a large number of youths chanting “Nigeria Sai Saraki 2023”, meaning, “Nigeria for Saraki 2023”, and took place on Sunday in Kano. “Following challenges being faced by Nigeria that includes among others insecurity, unemployment and extreme poverty and worse of all a deteriorating economy, we have decided to come out and apologize to Abubakar Bukola Saraki and also call on him to come out and contest for President in 2023. “We believe with his experience and knowledge he has the capacity to resolve the current problems of disunity that is shaking the pillars of the country. “We all are witnesses to the current situation in the country where tribal and sectional sentiments are bringing down the very foundation of the country. “As a result, it has become pertinent for Nigerian youths to rise and choose a committed and dedicated leader that will save Nigeria from falling and we feel there is no one as qualified as Abubakar Bukola Saraki. “We saw the contribution given by Saraki as governor of Kwara state and as President of the Senate which since he left there had not been a serious assembly since then. “It has become compulsory on him to also rise up and answer the call of Nigerian youths to come out and save the country from what it is encountering at the moment. He should come and continue from where he stopped. “This is the intention of this group called Saraki is Coming 2023,” Faringida told newsmen at the rally. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/06/we-want-saraki-for-president-in-2023-youths-protest-in-kano/ |

Igbo 101: Facts Little Told
By
Ogaranya Uju Nkwocha
Afulezi, Ph.D., Duru Akwukwo
III Ndi Umuohiagu
uafulezi@hotmail.com
I
t is amazing that the kind of
education or information that were
handed to us by our teachers in
school or even the mass media in
Nigeria regarding who we are, or
are not, is often short of the living
facts or reality on the ground. What
we were taught, not in science or
arts, but in sociology and
anthropology, do not stand as facts
that can be verified and certified as
truth, and nothing but the truth.
Methinks, we know, that the
mission of education is to seek
truth and propagate same undiluted,
unembellished, and convincingly
proven at all times. If it is a fact,
then there is no "ifs" or "buts."
Nobody can truly claim to be
educated who doctors the truth, or
manipulates facts in order to suit
his or her whims and caprices. Fact
is not like history said to be largely
subjective, that can be doctored or
manipulated. When you have arrived
as a truly intellectually liberated
person, is when you call facts and
figures as you see them, no matter
who it may concern. Besides, truth
is very exhilarating and bubbles like
champagne wine. If you try to stand
it on its head, it quickly reverts to
its natural form - truth. And if you
try to force it into your mind, it
tastes sour. Truth is easier to
manage, falsehood shifts like
quicksand. See?
For many of us, it took coming to
America, and devoting significant
time, aside from our normal
engagements, to dispassionately
study our own native societies and
where we fit in the larger world in
which we all inhabit. And, didn't we
know that it took coming to
America for people like Mbonu
Ojike, Zik, Nkrumah and others, to
educate themselves that Africa
was a great continent, that Europe
had no right to colonize Africa,
that the black man was part of
the great civilizations of the world
contrary to the bleak picture
painted of the place of the black
person in the sun. Consider how
much you knew about the slave
trade when you were in Nigeria.
Very little, I must say, at least for
me. What did you know of Egypt,
the pyramids, African civilizations,
and the fact that man started his
journey on earth from Africa? Who
ever knew that there are more
pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt?
We were taught British Empire
History, European History, History
of the World, and American War
of Independence. We were never
taught the making of our society,
the ancient and modern
accomplishments of our people. We
were not taught our culture, our
spirituality, our trade and
commerce.
In this piece, I intend to focus on
the Igbo as a people. The Igbo,
their culture, civilization, and their
contributions to world greatness,
are, perhaps, among the most little
understood, taught, publicized and
recognized of all human knowledge.
What is sometimes upsetting is
the little the Igbo themselves,
including their educated sons and
daughters know about themselves.
Or, more bafflingly, how the
educated Igbo parrot, and hold fast,
without taking a second look at
the false information about the
Igbo, which they heard or read
from scantily informed or biased
sources, foreigners and natives,
and, of course, the ever busy Igbo
detractors.
I decided to write this article after
the now familiar surprise look I get
from many an educated Igbo when
I begin to discuss Igbo factoids and
misrepresentations. What
embarrasses most of them is that
certain incontrovertible, and some
would say, elementary facts about
the Igbo, which were always self
evident, now suddenly hits them
like a thunderbolt and it becomes
crystal clear to them that their
previous beliefs which they
parroted were false. Here are a
few facts in question and
answers:
Question: Is Southeast and
Igboland the same thing?
Answer: Not at all. Southeast is
only about 3/5th of Igboland.
Igboland covers the whole of
Southeast, parts of Rivers, Delta,
Benue, and Akwa Ibom states.
Question: Why were we taught in
school that Igbo people are
easterners?
Answer: It is both an unfortunate
parroting by teachers and careless
adoption by Igbo educated class.
Igbo people come from Southern
Nigeria and not Eastern Nigeria. It
may be correct to say that the
Igbo are found predominantly in
eastern Nigeria. However, by
saying that the Igbo are
easterners, the implication is that
the Igbo in western Nigeria,
numbering about 2.5 million (Agbor,
Ogwashi Ukwu, Ibuzo, Okpanam,
Asaba, Orimili, Ndokwa, Anioma,
etc) are not Igbos. The best known
Igbo anthropologist Professor Mike
Onwuejeogwu is from the western
part of Nigeria, Chukwuma
Nzeogwu, Dennis Osadebe,
Okonkwo Adibe (the famous
musician), Sony Odogwu, etc. are
all from the western part of
Nigeria. They are no less Igbo than
those who live in the eastern part
of Nigeria. The correct answer to
your question is "the Igbo come
from Southern Nigeria."
Question: Why do some Igbo
refer to themselves as "core
Igbo?"
Answer: That is clearly arrant
nonsense. Nobody is core and
others peripheral. All Igbo are the
same. It is both arrogant,
thoughtless and insensitive for
anybody to regard others as
marginal.
Question: Is Igboland landlocked?
Answer: Not at all. Igboland
stretches from Igwe Ocha (Port
Harcourt) to Agbor. The Atlantic
ocean washes the shores of
Igboland. Africa's second largest
river - River Niger, traverses
Igboland with one part of Igboland
in the east and another part in the
west of Nigeria. Uguta Lake has
the potential of accommodating
large ships and could be made a
navigable port. If Igboland is
landlocked, then all Nigeria is
landlocked.
Question: Is there oil in Igboland?
Answer: Yes, indeed. There is a
lot of oil in Imo State, Abia,
Ebonyi, Rivers State and Delta
States Igbo areas, and now in
Anambra. Besides, Igboland has
many other natural resources,
including coal, limestone, etc.
Question: Are the Igbo a nation or
a tribe?
Answer: The Igbo are a nation,
and a very large one. There are
many tribes in Igbo nation, just like
you have many tribes within Israel.
Question: Why do some Ikwerre
people say they are not Igbo?
Answer: First, it is not up to
them to say what they are and
what they are not. When God
created them, He did not ask them
who they wanted to be. He just
created them Igbo. The only way
you'll know who belongs to what
ethnic group in Nigeria is the name
and what language the name
comes from. Anybody whose name
is Amadi or Onyeri, or Eke, or Odili,
Wanodi (Nwanodi) does not need
to tell you who he is. He is Igbo,
his politics notwithstanding.
Question: But they claim that
their language is Ikwerre, not Igbo.
Answer: That is politics. Ikwerre
is a dialect of Igbo language. Just
like an Ngwa man speaks Ngwa
Igbo, Arochukwu speaks Arochukwu
Igbo, etc.
Question: Some people say that
Igbo language is not complete, is it
true?
Answer: No language is complete.
All languages borrow from each
other. Igbo language is very rich. It
has inexhaustible and rich linguistic
features like idioms, proverbs,
aphorisms, sayings, anecdotes,
riddles, folklores, etc. Igbo language
is one of the major languages of
the world, being spoken by millions
of people.
Question: How many are the
Igbo?
Answer: The Igbo are very
numerous. There is educated guess
that if Nigeria's census is properly
enumerated, the Igbo could easily
be the largest ethnic group in the
country. They may number up to
40 million. Everything right now, is
speculation. Nobody knows the true
stratification or ethnic populations
in Nigeria. The Igbo are the only
ethnic group found in large
numbers everywhere in Nigeria,
and foreign countries more than
any other ethnic group in Africa.
Question: Do the Igbo have a
culture of their own?
Answer: Yes, indeed. Igbo culture
is perhaps, one of the richest and
all-encompassing cultures in this
world. Igbo culture always
observes the temporal and the
spiritual aspects of cosmology. The
study of Igbo culture reveals that
it is extremely deep and original.
Question: Why do the Igbo wear
Yoruba Agbada and Hausa babban
riga but the Yoruba and the Hausa
do not ever wear Igbo national
dress?
Answer: Unfortunately this is the
case. The Igbo have very attractive
and resplendent national dresses.
And they come in assortments that
are extremely dignifying. The Igbo
take up foreign cultures more
readily than other Nigerians, and
they seem not to care that nobody
reciprocates their carefree attitude
to life. Most ethnics promote their
cultures and show off what makes
them unique. Actually, it is still the
same so-called educated Igbo class
who behave in such disgraceful
and the devil-may-care attitude.
Question: Why do the Igbo call
themselves Biafrans?
Answer: Great question. Some
people have the idea that Biafra
originates from the Bight of Biafra.
But that is wrong. There was the
Kingdom of Biafra that ruled most
of the ancient world about 50,000
years ago. Unfortunately, nobody
talks about it, for whatever
reason, I do not know. But, it is in
the ancient maps of the world. If
you wish I'll make a copy and send
to you.
Question: Were the Igbo also
taken into slavery during the slave
trade?
Answer: Yes. The Igbo slaves
themselves gave account of their
travails in slavery. Olauda Ekwuano
an Igbo ex-slave who bought his
freedom in Britain was the first
slave to write about his experience
in slavery. His book has become a
classic. You ought to find it and
read it. Also, other Igbos who were
brought to America revolted and
some walked back on water and
were said to have returned to
Africa. Several books have been
written about them. One of such
books is "Ibo Landing." It is
available in bookstores like Barnes
& Noble. In Haiti, the Igbo settled
there and refused to be colonized
by anybody. There are many places
where the Igbo left their mark or
their signature.
Question: How did the Igbo know
days and years?
Answer: The Igbo invented an
accurate, if not the most accurate
calendar called "Iguafo Igbo (Igbo
Calendar)." In Igbo calendar, there
are four market days - Eke, Afor,
Nkwo, Orie that make one week.
Four days make one week, seven
weeks make one month, and
thirteen months make one year.
There are 28 days for each month,
with the last month having 29
days. Each month starts the same
day as the previous. Igbo calendar
forms the perfect astronomical
alignment with the cosmos, and
regulates the seasons, agriculture,
navigation, astrology, geography,
mathematics, travel, etc.
Question: Did the Igbo have their
own alphabets?
Answer: Yes, indeed. It is called
"Nsibidi."
Question: How about
mathematics; did the Igbo know
mathematics?
Answer: Yes, indeed. There are
such inventions as "Okwe" and
"Mkpisi" which the Igbo used to
resolve figures.
Question: Did the Igbo know
anything about banking?
Answer: Yes. Igbo banking was
more in the nature of Savings and
Loans. The authentic Igbo savings
and loans invention called "Isusu' in
which contributions are pooled each
week and one person, who has the
need, collects, is still in practice.
Igbo slaves took this invention to
the Caribbean Islands where they
still practise it and call it "Sue
Sue."
Question: Some people say that
Igboland is too small for the Igbo,
that they have no alternative than
to live as Nigerians: is this true?
Answer: False. Igboland is a large
country. Do every Igbo need to
stay and work in Igboland? No.
Everywhere in the world, some will
stay home while others venture
abroad in search of opportunities.
Igboland is large enough for the
Igbo. And it is a very rich and
hospitable part of the world. It has
rich soil for agriculture, abundant
rainfall, good sunshine, and table
land in many parts. Its land space
and population are more than that
of over half of the present
countries in the world.
Question: Where did the Igbo
come from?
Answer: That question is still
being asked. There are very
intriguing theories or histories now
being studied. You may have heard
of the Jewish angle, the Egypt
angle, and the Origin of man angle.
This twenty-first century,
hopefully, will resolve the mystery.
Question: Why do people say that
the Igbo are not united?
Answer: Those who say so, do
so out of ignorance. The Igbo are
famous for their unity. In the
colonial period and the First
Republic of Nigeria, the Igbo were
always envied for their unity.
Under Igbo Union, they
accomplished many things. They
were feared by others for this.
Since after the war, the Igbo are
gradually recovering and getting rid
of the individualism they developed
brought about by their war
experience which enabled them to
survive as a disinherited people.
Now, there are vigorous efforts to
reunite them and return them to
their old glory which served them
well in the past.
Question: Some people say that
the Igbo are susceptible to being
bought by some other Nigerians,
and that they "sell" the Igbo in the
bargain; is this true?
Answer: The same parroting and
recycling of unfounded talk. When
you hear such a talk, challenge the
one who is mouthing it to give you
evidence, or to cite an example of
such an Igbo person. He is likely to
say "what of Jim Nwobodo?" Tell
him that the Igbo number about 40
million, if it would be fair for the
action of one person to represent
the integrity of the other 3.99.9
million. The truth is that an Igbo is
like any other human being, when
he sees where he can take
advantage of a situation, he goes
for it. It has nothing to do with
"selling." Were we not told that
fish clusters where the river was
deepest or that the dog follows he
who has crumbs? Not long ago in
the history of Nigeria, other
Nigerians were also running after
the Igbo for crumbs because the
Igbo were in position to call the
shots. Things will not remain as
they are today. In fact, things are
changing fast.
Question: Why are other
Nigerians always persecuting the
Igbo?
Answer: I have always tried to
know myself. I am one of those
who believe that the Igbo are
among the most peaceful people
on earth. But, because of the fact
that they are very hardworking,
ambitious, and not afraid to live
anywhere, or take up any task,
they tend to be resented by their
less ambitious and successful
neighbors or hosts. When you
confront a non-Igbo to say what
specific offense the Igbo have
committed against them,
oftentimes they draw blank, or
engage in fabrications, which they
insist must stand for a fact. The
Igbo believe in live-and-let-live. It is
virtually impossible for any Igbo to
rise against their guests or hosts.
It has never happened in Nigeria,
or elsewhere. It is an abomination
in Igboland for a host to cause his
guest harm. Instead, a guest is
considered metaphysically and
physically under the protection of
the host. All Igbo deities forbid
doing harm to a guest. The Igbo
are accused of "loving money." I
suppose the charge is based on
the fact that they work hard and
acquire money in the bargain. One
would like to believe that the
outcome of hardwork is good
harvest and hopefully prosperity. If
anybody takes offense at the
prosperity of a hardworking
person, then the Igbo or for that
matter any other person or
persons, have no apologies to
render.
Question: Do the Igbo have their
own system of jurisprudence
before the arrival of the white
man?
Answer: Yes. The Igbo had a
system of resolving conflicts. The
elders were presented with cases
that could not be satisfactorily
settled within the family or
kindred. Matters where veracity
must be ascertained, the Igbo
resort to spirituality. Oath-taking is
a matter left to the spirits to
settle. Those who swear falsely
were expected to be killed by the
spirits within a given period. After
the period, he is acquitted and he
could celebrate with public merry-
making. The Igbo did not have any
prisons, but they could ostracise a
culprit, exile him, or send him into
slavery or to serve to a deity.
Question: Why don't the Igbo
teach these things you are telling
me to their children?
Answer: In the pursuit of what
they taught was the "new way"
either from Europeans or o
Christianity, the Igbo began to
distance themselves from their
heritage, and in the process
became lost in the wilderness of a
world they hardly understand. They
have learned their lesson the hard
way. The twenty-first century will
lead them back home. |
MAGG0T:You dey mind those hungry people? |
The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students NANS, Joint Campus Committee (JCC) South West Zone, has condemned the killings going on in the South West region and the increasing rate of banditry, herdsmen attacks, kidnappings and attacks on security formations as well as killing of security men across the nation. The students’ leaders, while expressing their displeasure, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to, as a matter of urgency, declare a state of emergency on the nation’s security situation. “It is ridiculous, disheartening and disappointing that President Muhammadu Buhari, the Chief Security Officer of Nigeria and a retired Army General, who has also served this country as a Head of State, cannot handle and tackle the myriads of security challenges currently plaguing the country. republic, says its ill-timed “We make bold to say that Mr. President has failed in his responsibility to protect the lives and property of Nigerians. In this regard, we call on the President to do the needful to secure Nigerians and our property as our right to live is a fundamental one as enshrined in Nigeria constitution,” the NANS South West representatives said. A statement jointly signed by Damilola Kehinde (Ogun), Akinteye Babatunde (Oyo) and Opakunle Mayowa (Ondo) was made available to DAILY POST in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Sunday by the state NANS Chairman. The statement reads in part: “If the serving service chiefs and other heads of all the nation’s security and intelligence agencies cannot handle the situation, then Mr. President should do the needful by sacking them and replacing them with more active heads, who have the solutions to the problems. “Mr. President should also rejig and overhaul the entire security architecture of the country to bring about the desired changes Nigerians are clamouring for. “We are no more safe as Nigerians because the rate of series of attack where many innocent souls are wasted on daily basis across the country really call for concern of all Nigerians. Most worrisome is the incidences of kidnapping, most especially students in their hundreds and our government will be comfortable negotiating with criminals for ransom to free the victims. “The Federal Government of Nigeria has failed Nigerians in all ramifications. Today, we cannot travel from one state or the other without the fear of attack or kidnap by the dreaded herdsmen or bandits or unknown gunmen. What is wrong with intelligence gathering? What is the duty of our security agencies whose constitutional duty is to protect Nigeria against internal and external aggressions? How did we get to this point? Mr. President, save Nigerians from further attacks now!” https://dailypost.ng/2021/06/06/buhari-has-failed-nans-reacts-to-killings-kidnappings-in-southwest/ |
forces to fight the unknown gunmen ravaging the southeast zone. A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) from Abia State and former Senatorial Aspirant, Naval Capt Jerry Obike Ogbonna (Rtd), has warned the Federal Government against mustering He said the warning was coming in order to avert the activities of the unknown gunmen taking a dangerous toll until the Boko Haram sect that turned to terrorist organization and have sustained their attacks on the people of the Northeast and Northwest. Capt Ogbonna gave the warning during an interview with DAILY POST on Sunday, on the heels of the alleged threat of war in the southeast zone by President Muhammadu Buhari following the attacks on security formations and the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) across states of the southeast. He maintained that the use of force cannot end the nefarious gunmen attacks in the east, urging the Buhari led administration to restructure the economy and create jobs. His words, “Who are the unknown gunmen? IPOB has denied they are not their members. The police are insisting they are ESN, the militant group of IPOB. Could it be that enough investigation has not been done by the investigation agencies and a preconceived idea is being fed to President Muhammadu Buhari. He is paranoid about another conflict in the southeast being part of the generation of officers that fought to keep Nigeria one. So, you can’t blame him. “I also do not support any Biafran movement because it disrupted my teenage life. We had to stop our education and roaming around not sure when we could get back to school. I remember that as soon as the war ended we were trekking from Ovim, my home town to Uzuakoli Methodist College just to be part of an orderly school activity. We used to cook our food and attend classes. I cut my A level studies at Federal Government College, Enugu, to join the Nigerian Defence Academy because it provided me with a short cut to cover up the two years we lost in the war. In addition, it provided the opportunity to travel to the UK for my undergraduate degree in Engineering. I will never forget to say that in NDA i was a Nigerian Officer Cadet despite coming into NDA when the war just ended. No one can convince me that one Nigeria is an illusion. “The current security challenges in the country are exacerbated by the current unemployment situation in the country, north and south of the country. There is a state of hopelessness among the youths, 65% of the population. “President Muhammadu Buhari should not muster forces to fight the unknown gunmen as we started with Boko Haram 11 years ago and that war is still ongoing. Buying all the weapons in this world will not end the war. “The solution is to restructure the economy and create jobs. Just as PMB is developing infrastructure like trains we should also develop industrial infrastructure and procure process industries for our raw materials. “As little as $30,000 can purchase a cooking oil process factory. Next door to my local government is Umunneochi with a huge plantation of cashew trees. There is no local government in Nigeria that does not have some raw materials. Stop spending billions of dollars buying military weapons. Enough of shooting our desperate children who are looking for a career and part of the national cake. Let’s have calm and peace for a change”. https://dailypost.ng/2021/06/06/buhari-must-shun-use-of-force-to-control-security-crisis-in-s-east-ogbonna/ |

The way things stand now, soldiers can shoot and kill ANY man in Southeastern Nigeria, and claim he was an Unknown Gunman. There are no investigations carried out on the veracity of these claims. No accountability.A soldier with a grudge can get rid of any man whose face he does not like, and claim that the fellow was ESN/IPOB/UGM and he gets away with murder. Living in Nigeria’s Southeast is now more dangerous than living in Afghanistan # TableShaker https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=270070041565108&id=111647580740689&_rdr
