IGBOS BE CAREFUL! – Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Jr.
Read this article by Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu Jr, son of the late Ikemba of Nnewi, Chief Odumegu OJUKWU, a sage and great Igbo leader.
IGBOS BE CAREFUL !
“The whole Nigeria is aggrieved, Igbos are e course of six geo-political zones, championed the course of 13% derivation for the benefit of your neighbours and still champions the course of resource control and fiscal federalism, but I have seen you also struggle so much to explain to both neighbours and outsiders that you are not interested in their resources but rather interested in being allowed to explore your rich human capital and ingenuity without any orchestrated hindrances……..IGBOS BE CAREFUL !
I have seen how some igbo sons and daughters struggles to sound patriotic even if it means sounding silly and their kits and kin in neighbouring states begs not to be identified with their igbo roots because it will save them some “special treatment” reserved for igbos—it never does anyways. Don’t let another set back happen…..IGBOS BE CAREFUL !
Our major need now is an emergence of a leader figure with the courage of Ojukwu, wisdom of M. I. Okpara and the sagacity of Chuba Okadigbo yet endowed with tamed emotions to steer our pride and productivity into a common force and also lead us into demanding redress for perceived injustice…..IGBOS BE CAREFUL !
I REPEAT, if Nigeria is tired, when Nigeria is tired of running an unprofitable structure, we shall be ready for the way forward; we shall be ready for renegotiation.
BUT NEVER AGAIN will your blood be used as a specimen to test how “united” Nigeria can be in fighting her “enemy”.
Igbos be careful.”
