I want us to understand that though Igbos in the South South are
carved into minority states we are not minorities. We are part and
parcel of a greater whole which is the IGBO NATION. We wont settle for
less in the name of minority because in the event of crisis no body will
call us minority, we will always be dealt as
Igbos not as Ndokis,Ikwerres, Egbemas, Ogbas or Ndonis. We can not run
away from our shadow neither can we do so to our identity.
When Ijaws was protesting against the long rule of igbos in our dear state(rivers), they did not see it as Ikwerre rule or Ndoni rule but saw it as an Igbo rule. During the event of PH ownership crisis the Ijaws claimed that Ikwerres are igbos and that they should go back to the uplands because they(Okrika/Ijaw) are the owners of the land ant that Ikwerres are migrants from upland.
Though i am a not strong believer in the Biafran project i do understand that our destinies are lumped together with our upland brothers and even if we have grieviances due to the Civil war we should learn how to resolve our problems internally. IGBOS MUST LEARN HOW TO STOP WASHING HER DIRTY LINENS OUTSIDE FOR THE AMUSEMENT OF OUR FOES.
The purpose of this thread is to raise a resistance against the emotional and psychological war being waged against us by some opportunist. Some elements in this forum opened their cavity and said that Igbos are inconsequential and has no bargaining power in the Nigerian politics.
In reference to this i want to categorically state that IGBOS ARE THE LARGEST PRODUCERS OF NIGERIAN CRUDE OIL AND GAS. This is contrary to the view held by many that thinks Ijaws holds the statues quo. This can be seen when all the igbo oil wells in Abia, Imo, Anambra, Delta and Rivers state is summed up and This is not exclusive to the oil alone Igbos are also the largest ethnic group in south south and in the Niger Delta. This is because when all the Igbos in Rivers, Delta and Edo state are added we constitute the largest group in SS and ND.
When Germany was divided into east and west Germany, it was the responsibility of Germans to unite and shake off the division created by their foes, therefore, it is our responsibility to unite in such times like this.
The south south is a blessing in disguise for we the Igbos because we will continue to constitute the majority in the region
Igbo bu ofu
Igbo amaka
Igbos has the best human ans natural resource in nigeria
Igbo bu Igbo ana m ekele o
