It is said that history repeats itself, first, as tragedy and then as farce. We are now in the farcical stage. Historical lies are fuelling our latter-day war drums; threatening the fragile foundations of our sinking ship of state. We do not realise that no nation in history has survived two civil wars.
One of the biggest lies of all is that the January 1966 coup was not a tribal jamboree. It may well be that the likes of Majors Chukwuma Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna made themselves believe that their bout of ethnic cleansing was a “revolution”. But what kind of revolution was it that targeted officers and politicians almost exclusively from only one region with such coldblooded, unrepentant violence? Wise men always look to what people do rather than what they say.
The “revenge” coup by Northern officers in July 1967 was also replete with lies. Was it right or even necessary to wipe out so many Igbo officers? The Northern officers went on a killing spree in the erroneous belief that revenge has a part in politics. And the northern elites did nothing to stop the wholesale massacre that followed. Many in the North deny that they contemplated leaving the federation until the British warned them that they would end up as just another landlocked, poverty-stricken Sahelian Ruritania like Niger, Chad or Mali.
I was a child at that time, but even with my child’s eye, I could see that a great evil had covered our skies like a nuclear mushroom cloud. People went berserk hunting down Ndigbo as if they were wild game in the ancient savannah. My own dear father of blessed memory did all he could to protect some of the families who fled to our modest home. I remember a woman who gave birth on the day they had to flee. The spectacle of fear in the eyes of grown men and women haunts me to this day. It could have been prevented, but Northern leaders chose to look the other way.
Another big lie is that the entire war was an act of genocide perpetrated by Muslims against Igbo Christians. Gowon, a missionary boy from the Anglican Diocese of Wusasa, believed in his heart of hearts that the whole thing was a quarrel between brothers. He had intended to marry his beautiful Igbo heartthrob, Edith Ike, until his colleagues warned that it was impolitic in a time of belligerence to marry from the enemy. Field commanders such as Murtala Mohammed — whom Gowon nearly court-martialled — had their own ideas about the war. But Gowon himself was, and is, a statesman of moderation and compassion. His post-bellum settlement of Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction was one of the most successful post-conflict settlements in our long twentieth century.
I once challenged the young novelist Chimamanda Adichie for portraying the civil war in her Half of a Yellow Sun as though the only victims were the Biafrians. The simple demographic statistical fact is that more Nigerians died in that war than did Biafrans. Gowon resorted to conscripting underage youths from the Middle Belt. Most were unused to the primeval rainforest and were tragically mowed down in their legions.
Another big lie is that Biafra was a viable country. The vast majority of the South-South peoples were and are, opposed to it. Was Emeka Ojukwu on a personal mission to fulfil his own ambitions for power? Why did he execute Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Victor Banjo and Philip Alale as early as September 1967? Why did Nnamdi Azikiwe abandon ship in 1969? And was it true that both Nzeogwu and the poet Christopher Okigbo were set up to be killed at the war front because they were obstacles to Ojukwu’s ambition? Why did he blatantly refuse the free passage of food by humanitarian organisations that would have saved thousands from starvation? Was the great mathematician Chike Obi wrong to dismiss him as a “gambler” who led his people to destruction for a mere ego-trip? Was Biafra indeed not another tragic moment in the long night of African tyranny?
What is the current Biafra agitation all about if not a script being written by foreign powers using local agents? Had they not been prophesying ad nauseum that Nigeria would disintegrate?
In 1999, if Chief Emeka Anyaoku had wanted, he would have been the first Igbo president since the civil war. He did not want it. Ndigbo own most of the business assets in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja and other major cities. We are told that their investments in the North total more than N14 trillion. Whilst it is true that many of the recurrent cycles of religious killings in the North have a disproportionate share of Igbo victims, I submit that the idea of Igbo marginalisation is a myth. Their failure to produce a President owes less to conspiracy by the rest of Nigerians than to the fractious nature of Igbo politics itself. The geography of poverty is predominantly northern. The richest and most successful regions are the West and old East.
No, Ndigbo have done more than well in Nigeria.
Like everybody else, I was shocked to hear that 16 northern youth groups under the umbrella Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF, issued an ultimatum to all Igbos to quit the North before or on 1st October. One of the fattest lies of our age is the idea of one happy monolithic North. Arewa was dead and buried long ago. It died with political Sharia. Its coffin has been nailed by Boko Haram and the rampaging militias who call themselves “Fulani herdsmen”. The peoples of the Middle Belt have made it clear that the Arewa youths and their backers are on their own.
All said and done, I would appeal that we should all give peace a chance. I do not believe that Nigeria is an accidental country. On the contrary, ours is a unique national vocation and destiny. We are the symbol of the Black race. If Nigeria fails, Africa is doomed. And so will be the fate of 2 billion black peoples who look up to us, from Africa to Brazil, the Americas, Europe, Eurasia and the islands of the seas.
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has warned that we are in a marriage. He is a Pastor for whom marriage is one of the holy sacraments of the church. But he has perhaps forgotten that there are other cultures for whom marriage is easily dissolved. All that is needed is three denouncements and she’s gone! Even the Bible does not totally rule out divorce – it can happen on grounds of adultery. As a student of history, I am aware that, for nations as for couples, there can never be a happy divorce. It will always be messy and traumatic – even violent.
For better or worse, we must make this marriage work. We need patience, tolerance, wisdom and generosity. The war drums are out because the youths are disenchanted with a system that has brought them nothing but tears, unemployment, kidnapping, genocide, structural violence and injustice. The 1999 constitution is morally illegitimate to the extent that it is not premised on “We the people…” — a contraption from the smoke-filled barracks of General Abacha’s brutal dictatorship, with its contradictions, false jurisprudence, laborious syntax and outright illegalities. The word “restructuring” appears rather threatening to some people. But it’s clear we cannot avoid an institutional reform process going forward.
What the youths demand is a new constitutional settlement embodying the deepest aspirations of all our people; anchored on a viable federalism, liberty, equality, social justice and the rule of law. We must acknowledge that we have wronged Ndigbo and other groups in Nigeria. We must become the angels of peace and reconciliation, apostles of liberty – prophets of the Life More Abundant. This I believe to be the mandate of Heaven for a new generation of leadership.

John Nwodo, president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, says it appears that the federal government is “helpless” on the quit notice given to the Igbo in the north by Arewa youth groups.
He urged the government to take decisive action on the matter.
Nwodo while speaking on Sunrise Daily, a Channels TV programme on Monday, said despite the order issued by Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, and that of Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, to arrest those making such statements, nothing has been done.
The president-general said the “hate” that the northern youths have “has reduced the authorities to being ineffective in the circumstance.”
While appealing to the federal government to charge of the situation, he said the declaration by the youth was “treasonable” as it has threatened the integrity of the country.
“There is nothing more threatening of the national integrity than this, this is treasonable, they have declared a new state that excludes the south-east from the state of Nigeria. They have gone to describe measures to actualise this. Everything in that speech shows a concluded crime,” Nwodo said.
“You have declared an intention and you have consumated it, you have begun to take inventory of property. No state is achieved by property acquisition or a mere declaration. An eviction notice doesn’t amount to achievement of statehood and this is what the young men have done.
“And it does appear that the federal government is helpless. When the federal executive council met we did not hear anything about it. The inspector-general of police called all commissioners of police and issued an order, that order is in breach because it is being challenged by the young men. The governor of Kaduna state has issued an arrest order, it hasn’t been carried out.
“It does appear that there is a building of hate in the north amongst the youths, that has reduced the authorities to being ineffective in the circumstance and I will like the federal government to rise up to the occasion to show that it is in charge.
“We need to build on some principles of rule of law but there is dissatisfaction that this government is not working, not just this government in power, but the structure is not working.”
He opined that restructuring the country would address the issue and make all regions financially independent.
“It worked when we had it, I grew up at the time we had regional governments in this country. Every area of Nigeria was financially independent. In the north, there were groundnut pyramids, Ahmadu Bello university was built,” Nwodo said.
“In the south-west, it was cocoa, the first television station in black Africa was built, the first stadium if Nigeria was built, free education at all levels were launched. In the south-east, Nsukka university was built, presidential hotel was built in Port Harcourt and Enugu and robust industrial policy that produced the first few industries were built.
“I don’t see how you leave a workable system for an unworkable system. I don’t see a country any country called a federation in the world that runs a unitary system of government.”

Super Eagles goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has said the side got their tactics wrong against their South African opponents, Bafana Bafana.
The Eagles were benched 2-0 by visitors, Bafana Bafana in Saturday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
Akpeyi said the three-time African champions were on the right peddle in the first half of the clash but got things muddled up in their quest for the lead and later for the equaliser.
“We got it wrong tactically, we were doing well in the first half and in the second half we were anxious for goal, that’s where we lost it.
“As a result of which we conceded a goal and eager for the equaliser we opened our defence and the South Africans cut us off guard coupled with one or two mistakes to score the second goal.
“It was one of the bad days in football having to start our Afcon ticket chase on a losing note.
“Well there is a whole lot of lesson we have learned from the loss which will guide us in subsequent matches.
“I believe we still have hope in the qualifying race with the other matches on the Afcon calendar.

“I know for certain that we will get back on track to position ourselves towards claiming the sole ticket in the group,” said the Chippa United shot stopper.
Akpeyi however asked Nigerians to avoid hasty and roundly condemnation of the players for the Afcon loss to South Africa.
“None of us is happy with the sad turn of event, we never went into the game with a mind to lose to South Africa.
“Nigerians are too quick to condemn and pass judgment, a little error everybody is quick to throw stone.
“We have won several matches in the past whether by luck or not and the encomium is understandably endless”.
“If we continued to be sentimental in our discourse especially when things went wrong things will not work well.
“We need to encourage, standby and support the team at all times, we just lost a game, not war, as we are determined to pick the Afcon qualification ticket to Cameroon,” said the former Heartland and Warri Wolves goaltender.
Nigeria are third on the group E log with zero points, while Libya and South Africa are on three points and the Seychelles remain bottom. Only the group winners are guaranteed an automatic berth at the 2019 Afcon in Cameroon.

Shehu Sani, activist and senator representing Kaduna central, says most of the people in power have not paid any price for democracy in the country.
Speaking at the Lagos residence of MKO Abiola on Monday, Shehu said but for the likes of the late politicians, there would have been no democracy in Nigeria.
He said Abiola’s men who forced the military out of power were the ones who ejected the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.
The even was part of activities to commemorate the June 12 1993, election, which Abiola won by a landslide.
“He (Abiola) was a victim of a brutal military regime and a fractured political class. A political class that started with him and left him. The Nigeria of today, the democracy we are savouring today was not a gift given to us by the military,” he said.
“It was a product of struggle sacrifice. From Kano to Kaduna, Lagos to Ibadan, Enugu and Port Harcourt, Nigerians trooped out to vote for Abiola, and in the same cities organised protest, civil disobedience campaigns to force the military out of power.
“Without the struggle of June 12, there would not have been democracy in Nigeria. The change that we experience in 2015 election was part of the seed of June 12. It was the same forces that forced the military out of power that rallied Nigerians to eject the PDP out of power.”
He said Nigerians must always remember the sacrifices of Abiola and other people who fought for democracy.
“We must always remind ourselves when we can; where did we come from? We come from a moment when Nigeria was in a moment of darkness when hundreds of activists were thrown in jail, when the likes of Chief Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memory, Dr Beko Ransome Kuti, Olisa Agbakoba, and several others were all sent to jail.
“At a time, I can remember, Tell Magazine had a map of Nigeria, where they would state the name of every political activist and the prisons they were kept. That was the species of Nigerians who sacrificed their life to free this country.
“This democracy was the sacrifice of conscious and awakened Nigerians. Nigerians who were genetically not compromising.”
Sani added that the fifth national assembly made a resolution that the Abuja National Stadium be renamed after MKO Abiola, but nothing of such had been done.

The Federal Operations Unit (FOU) Zone “C” of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) in Owerri says it has impounded illegally imported exotic cars and other items with Duty Paid Value (DPV) of N137.8 million.
The Area Controller in the Zone, Comptroller Bukar Amajam, disclosed this to newsmen in Owerri on Monday while taking them round the exhibits.
He said the vehicles and two truck-load of 50kg bags of rice were seized due to lack of relevant documents, cloning of documents and evasion of payment of customs duties around Benin/Ore axis.
Amajam listed the seized items to include a 2014 model Nissan Almera with DPV of N4.8 million, a Mercedes Benz Jeep with DPV of N40 million, another Mercedes Benz Jeep with DPV of N8 million and two Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Jeep with DPV of N28 million.
Others are a 2016 model Range Rover Sports Jeep with DPV of N25 million, four trucks containing 1,400 bags of 50kg rice and three 1x40ft Mack trucks containing various items.
The controller said that the Federal Government had since banned importation of vehicles through the land borders.
He said that items without duties that found their ways into the country through the seaports were being detained for 30 days for thorough investigation and payment of officially established customs duties.
“But after 30 days of detention of the vehicles and other items without the presentation of official documents by their owners, such vehicles are forfeited to the Federal Government without further formality,” he said.
Amajam condemned the rampant cases of smuggling of contrabands into the country in spite of the stiff penalties being meted to culprits.
He warned those who were still in the illicit business to desist henceforth in their own interest, saying the NCS was now better equipped, trained and motivated to dislodge smugglers wherever they hibernated.
He expressed regret that the Federal Government was losing large sums of revenue as a result of the unpatriotic activities of smugglers, their agents and collaborators.
Amajam said the NSC would never relent in its efforts to drastically check smuggling.
“We are not equipped to witch-hunt or make things difficult for anybody; we are here to facilitate business and to ensure that the FG has the revenue accruable to it.
“What we are saying is that Nigerians should be patriotic enough and engage in legal businesses. Once you are into genuine business, you should not have anything to fear or to worry about.
“We insist on relevant documents to ensure the Federal Government does not lose any revenue from businesses.
“We must continue to checkmate smugglers until the business is drastically reduced, if not eradicated,” he said.

Amid concern over human rights abuse in Nigeria, the United States government has been urged to halt sell of fighter jets as requested by the Federal Government to combat Boko Haram terrorists.
It can be recalled that the US Presidency had set plans to dispatch sophiscated aircrafts
worth $600 million to enable the Nigeria Army resume bombardment of the Islamic terrorists in the north east region.
In a letter writen to the US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, Senators Cory Booker and Rand Paul cited the killing of Shíites by the army in early 2015 and the accidental bombing of an IDP camp as reasons why the aircrafts should not be sold to Nigeria.
The duo noted that although the country was facing Boko Haram insurgency, failure to comply with human rights directives shows the country should not be in custody of fighter jets.
As writen in the letter, the senators stated thus:

Dear Secretary Tillerson:
“We are writing to convey our concerns regarding reports that you intend to proceed with plans to sell A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircrafts, with mounted machine guns and related parts and logistical support, to help the Nigerian government combat Boko Haram. We request that before you approve this sale, you brief us on the steps Nigeria has taken to investigate and hold accountable those that have committed human rights abuses. We believe the security threats Nigeria is facing are very real but that a sale of this nature, and at this time, is ill-advised. Boko Haram – a 5,000 to 10,000 strong insurgent force with ties to the Islamic State – will not be defeated through expanded air power alone.
“Despite your comments that values will not impact national security policies, we believe proceeding without any clear indications of progress from the Nigerian government on the protection of human rights and enforcement of accountability would run contrary to our national security objectives.
“With proper training of pilots, the sale of more sophisticated aircraft could lead to more accurate targeting of insurgents by the Nigerian Air Force and potentially a reduction of civilian casualties. But there is evidence that the Nigerian military routinely flouts the laws of war and there remains an absence of adequate safeguards and accountability mechanisms. This means that the Tucano aircraft could be used in a manner inconsistent with international human rights and humanitarian law – and that ultimately helps to strengthen Boko Haram. “
“Given that the Nigerian military still lacks the ability to mount a sophisticated counterinsurgency cooperation combining group and air assets, and the A-29 airframes will not be ready for delivery for at least another year at the earliest, we see no rush to complete the sale. Because this sale is an important point of leverage to encourage critical reforms necessary to defeat Boko Haram, we recommend that you require the Nigerian government to complete these steps before proceeding with the sale. Some of the important and specific benchmarks that would show progress include:
“Progress from the authorities in Abuja on the Kaduna government’s investigation into the December 2015 alleged massacre on Shiite Muslims in the northeastern town of Zaria, where at least 347 members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a Shia Muslim group, were killed by army soldiers. Credible organizations found that the army’s attack was unjustified. An investigation launched by the local Kaduna government found the General Officer in command of the army to have authorized the massacre and recommended prosecution. Nearly a year after this report was published, there has been no follow-up from the federal government in Abuja. Authorities also failed to comply with a court order for the release of the movement’s leader, Ibraheem El Zakzaky, and his wife who remain in detention without charges since December 2015.
“Completion of the investigation into the January 2017 attack on a displaced persons camp in Rann, northeastern Nigeria, by the Nigerian Air Force, which killed at least 236 people and injured thousands more. The government was quick to acknowledge the attack, which officials said was an accident, and agreed to undertake an investigation but it has yet to be finalized and then made available to the public. Even if it was accidental, the Rann incident demonstrates the urgent need for safeguards and accountability.
“Progress on a fair investigation into the 2014 killing by the Nigerian security forces of over 600 people, on the heels of Boko Haram’s attack on Giwa army barracks. Hundreds of mostly unarmed detainees, including children, were killed in extrajudicial executions and likely buried in mass graves around the city.
“At the same time, there continues to be additional allegations of corruption, abuse, and misconduct throughout the Nigerian military. While some soldiers have been released or retired, there has yet to be any real or meaningful accountability for the systemic challenges that have plagued Nigeria’s security forces for decades. Without addressing these problems at an institutional level, reform is merely cosmetic and will only perpetuate longstanding patterns of abuse, which could serve as propaganda for Boko Haram and other insurgent groups seeking to discredit the Nigerian government.
“We are concerned that the decision to proceed with this sale will empower the government to backtrack even further on its commitments to human rights, accountability, and upholding international humanitarian law, which in turn could spur greater unrest and violence, particularly in the northeastern part of the country. Accordingly, we strongly urge you to reconsider your decision to sell A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircrafts to Nigeria without any meaningful reform or any clear safeguards in place. Instead we recommend you make clear to Abuja that the sale of these aircraft can proceed only if there is positive and measurable progress on reforming the security institutions.”
This came shortly after the ultimatum given to the Igbo tribes to evacuate the northern parts of Nigeria
, which is viewed as a war threat to lives of a tribe. Despite government condemnation of such declaration and retraction statement by the group behind the conflicts,
many Igbos residing in the north are allegedly relocating to the south east for safety.
