AKPABIO: As a young man, you definitely will not understand me. But I was a victim of the Civil War. I was one of those who suffered the pains of the war. I was born sometime in 1962; the civil war came really into our area in 1967. So, I was probably five or six years old during the war; and if I had been around nine years, I would probably have been conscripted.

I saw parents throw their children into pit toilets because they did not want their positions to be made known to the enemy. I saw devastation; I saw kwashiorkor; I saw hunger; I saw thousands of people and bodies littered everywhere and smelling while vultures had a field day every day. I saw houses destroyed; I saw families scattered such that till the end of the world, they can never gather themselves together again. There were children who were shipped away to Gabon, and they can never come back to Nigeria again because they were small. How would two-year-olds and three-year-olds ever know where they came from? They are now proud Gabonese and I don’t think Nigerians are even asking questions.

Why not ask the north east to take care of its current devastation since they allowed Islamic terrorism to take hold? Your president is currently allocating billions there.
which is why your country would be nothing more than a desolate hell regardless of how many ridiculous feel good articles, and hollow epistles on patriotism you post.

The war was fought in the East but Gowon's Reconstruction and Rehabilitation started in the West. Country built on hate

The war was fought in the East but Gowon's Reconstruction and Rehabilitation started in the West. Country built on hate.
Meanwhile Buhari is voting billions to reconstruct the North East. One Nigeria indeed
