From My Heart, To My People: I AM WORRIED! The very thin stuff holding us together is under serious threat. The foundation of our land quakes, "this ship Nigeria" is gradually being filled with water and some humans are busy swimming, ignoring the looming shipwreck; having a good time onboard a sinking ship? Funny enough they claim to have the best pool on earth, hey! If this is a pool then it must be a bottomless one. Wake up! It's not a swimming pool but a sinking ship. This is no child's play, we either drain the water or be ready to go down with the ship. I AM WORRIED! My people fantasize the "ideal" joy and soothing relief we hope to enjoy when we must have crossed the river. Over the river "Nigeria"...where we hope to actualize a change of nomenclature we crave for, "our Biafra", the land of our dreams. But nothing will change if we change the names and ignore the norms. Let's tell ourselves the truth, the problem with Nigeria and the South East especially is not in the name. Call it anything you like, nothing works out until we are willing to DEVELOP OUR REGION, to change our attitudes, to love ourselves, to manage the affairs of town unions, LGAs, and states with fairness and equity. I AM WORRIED Do you really think that Ndi Ugwu bu nsogbu Ndi Igbo? I don't think so. This is not to deny the fact that we have been marginalized in some aspects, but how have we fared among ourselves. Our governors, ha bu ndi Ugwu? Ndi house of assembly niile no n'ala Igbo, ha o bu ndi ugwu ka ha o bu ndi ofe? That man who ordered the alleged beating and manhandling of a Rev father some time ago in Imo state, o bu onye Ugwu? What of the man who compelled pensioners to sign undertaking to forfeit 50% of their entitlements? Who is responsible for the non payment of salaries in some of our states? Because you think a mere change of name is the solution to our problems.... I AM WORRIED! For NIGERIA, things have fallen apart yet somehow we believe that the center can still hold. Even the blind can see it but we pretend that all is well. From all indications we don't know the magnitude of what we seek, only a few of us may have considered the consequences of our actions on us and our children. I hope we all are ready because there's a price to be paid. Sadly, the price for what we seek might be too heavy for us to pay. For this reason I AM WORRIED. I am also worried that the Igbos were given quit notice in the land of which they were the source of its development and no one has said nor done anything about it but call it an empty threat... I am not a politician, but I'm worried... |

op, if i say you are talking nonsense now they will say we are insulting. not one single point have you raised on why Nigeria should be preferred to Biafra yet you are worried. you even raised the issue of ohakim and priest. pls what has it got to do wit Biafra if not that you have ample time to engage in infantile diatribe against Biafra agitation. you even raise the unintelligent argument of developing our region our self. but in all your intelligence you've never pondered on the following; more than 70percent of nigeria resources is gotten from the eastern region. the central govt controls more than half of the resources and dash the state peanuts the central govt control power supply, aviation, ports, and other critical infrastructure the central govt control security (police, army, civil defence dss navy etc) with this you can say that central govt determines which region to make conducive for investment and which region to stagnate, and you call it a federation. Now, remove central govt and replace it with Hausa/ fulani then you will understand why we need independence in order to be able to maximize our potentials. we also need a homogeneous country . greatness comes when a nation uses her patriotic, inspired and educated citizens efficiently to harness its resources and potentials. merging many unrelated and opposing groups together can never lead to greatness. only organized societies achieve greatness. what three organized people can achieve in one week, one thousand unorganized people wont achieve it in ten yrs. what was the population of Britain when it controlled an empire where 'the sun never sets'; An empire more than 20 times her population? it was because she was more organized. A nation will be easily organized when the people share common values, speak one language and share common culture. homogeneity leads to nationalism and nationalism brings less corruption and more competition which brings innovation and development. this is why Europe leads. Nigeria's unity can never pass the test of logic. free Biafra! |
