I hope he does not. General, hate them or love them, there is something you will never be able to take away from them and that is their education, organization and discipline. Without the Ibo s industriousness the journey to the Nigerian eldorado will be long and tortuous. Personally, Biafra of the mind is more dangerous than that of Uwazuruike, but I pray history proves me wrong. A politician our president is not.
War occurs when the level of greed amongst the rich is matched by the envy of the poor.
This greed leads on to a collision not only with the poor but with other rich people and this is characterized by conflicts, an increasing number of citizens who cannot be reintegrated into mainstream society., who now presently constitute the main bulk of the infantry corps of the Almajiri brigade, OPC commandos, the Bakassi Red Devils and the Egbesu Marines. Nigeria is also characterized by the Structural Adjustment Program induced unemployment, uneven distribution of the population due to migration into urban centers, alienation, general frustration and high crime rates. If you take a count of the total number of Nigerians that have died from sudden and violent death within this year, any right thinking person will come to the conclusion that we are in a state of war. It is an illusion to try and build a solid economic foundation on such a discombobulating polity. Nigeria provides enough for every ones needs but not enough for every ones greed.
