Elder statesman and former Commissioner of Police in
Lagos State, Abubakar Tsav, has said that Nigeria would
have been among developed nations if it had tapped the
inventions of Biafra after the civil war.
According to him, failure to accept the Biafran technology
after the war and the successive corrupt leadership
Nigeria has had over the years have been responsible for
the country’s poor development indices.
In an interview with Sun newspaper, Tsav said: “I only
pray that people who are coming now are those who have
the interest of the people at heart and are God-fearing;
they are not just there to make money, but are there to
serve the nation.
“Since the end of the civil war, we have not been
progressing as a nation because during the civil war for
instance, when the Biafrans were confined to their
territory, they had no option than to device a means of
survival and they were able to manufacture bombs, mines,
refine petroleum products, and other technological feats.
“If we had accepted them, by the time the war was over,
by now we would have gone very far beyond where we
are today; we would have been technologically advanced.
“We never attained that because we are not united, we are
corrupt and selfish. If we had tapped the ingenuity of the
Biafrans, those inventions, etc, Nigeria would have been
far ahead than what we are today, but unfortunately,
corruption came in because everybody wanted to make
money for himself; that is why we are in this sorry state
now.
“Through corruption, people are making so much money
that they don’t know the number of houses they have, and
that is why we are still struggling that we cannot produce
ordinary toothpick in this country; we cannot produce
handkerchief in this country. All these things are imported
from different countries of the world. It is a big shame
indeed.”
