A former Head of State, General
Yakubu Gowon, had said after the Civil War that Nigeria never took Igbos as
enemies.
He said it was Ojukwu that made
Igbos believe they were not wanted in Nigeria and abandoned them to suffer
during the war.
In the video recently uploaded on
social media, Gowon also gave reasons why he stopped foreign relief supplies to
Biafrans after the war.
He also said that Igbos would be
treated as equal citizens in Nigeria depending on their willingness and
performance.
The agitation and demand by the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and other Igbo groups for secession from
Nigeria have since continued to generate tension in the country.
But while speaking on the fight
to maintain Nigeria’s unity, Gowon had given reasons why Nigeria must remain
united.

To remain united is a two way thing. parties involve must be committed in the unity, but where one party feels cheated and is no longer interested in this union, please let them go. It is not by force. Please lets conduct referendum.
ReplyDeletewhen you make such statements as Nigeria MUST remain united or that our unity is UNEGOTIABLE.....that is exactly why Nigeria would certainly disintegrate or there would never be peace, that's exactly the cause of the agitations........ it simply still interprets the marginalization they claim, it implies their aspirations doesn't count in the country, it means they are not equal with other tribes.. The agitation would continue... bullet would never stop them as you already know.
