It is frightening to see the amount of Igbo lives that were lost within this period of agitation for an independent Biafra
The fact that Igbos were still turning out in mass for the protests,
even with the news of death and tragedies, is an indication that we are
in need of direction, there is a void in the life of ndi Igbo that needs
to be filled, LEADERSHIP
Kedu ihe bu nsogbu anyi? [what is our Problem?]
All the major tribes in the country have their agendas, what is our agenda?
Even if we are rewarded with our own nation, ebenebe ga n'ebe.
The fabrics of our unity has been fractured by greed, onye agwana m, wickedness, ilo, and enwero direction
The culture and traditions of our people have been eroded by selfish
interests by the very people who are meant to be the beacon of hope for
us.
What of the education of our people?
Where are the institutions in place to promote our culture?
what message do we send out to the world about who we are?
We are fragmented within ourselves that an Anambra man will find it
hard to give his first daughter to his brother from Nsukka, and
Abakiliki, simply on the basis of where he is from, not minding his
educational attainment, or personality
Nnamdi Kanu is filling a void that our leaders have failed to fill, so don't be too quick to dismiss his stance.
It is an insight into the mind and heart of an average Igbo man, his
aspirations and dreams of an independent Igbo state, that is the pull of
the current agitations
We need this void filled, not through violence definitely, but through leadership that builds a sense of pride of who we are
Ndu ndi Igbo di mkpa!
#igbolivesmatter let us not shed it without reason.
The radio program that ignited this whole process shows us that through
programs on media we can build our Igbo nation to be a strong and
united body of people, who are highly talented and properly motivated to
contribute to the development of the world
We must strive to
preserve our language, culture, and traditions. We must rise above
physical confrontations that will breed greater loss of Igbo lives
#igbolivesmatter
The agitation must go on until we attain our
rights within our nation Nigeria but we must eliminate schemes and
actions that will expose more Igbo lives
