NDIGBO: A MARCH OF CONQUEST THAT NIGERIA COULD HAVE TRIED TO DEFEAT

Ndigbo may have been described as a "crying" ethnic group on Nigeria's tripod. It is for their implacable protest of "marginalization" in a country where they feel sufficiently entitled to eminence. Well Named!

Since then, the Igbo speech has caused a cynical disaffection. It is all alone another fuel in the already burning focus of the Igbo quest for self-determination.

It does not allow anyone to deny or contradict the fact that Ndigbo is considered a major irritant, an undisguised threat to claim the supremacy of other ethnic groups in Nigeria. Politicians and ethnic lords who have always tried to exploit the situation are often denied the strategic political advantage of their enclaves.

The current political realities in the country, in view of the marginal or non-existent presence of incentives to the state in Igboland, can only reinforce the historical reasons of successive governments by using every possible means to scupper the " Igbo company. Namely, Igbo's bold national success has almost touched in all important sectors of the nation in a short period of time in the colonial context. This gave the Igbos a dominant presence on the national scene.

Of course, this would not be a native indigenous virtue for Ndigbo for the rest of their comrades.
It was to become the seed of genetic fear and unpleasant disregard for Igbo by the rest of Nigeria. Soon, this kind of morbid fear made clear clothes during and after the Civil War, and has since become part of an unwritten charter in the Nigerian political catalog.

Hatred for Ndigbo and ways to listen to their prominence are good deals for Nigeria.Ndigbo to this day stifles the thick plot of the state of Nigeria and the push of these conspiracies was meant to frighten, intimidate or completely dismantle the Igbo's aspiration to occupy the political positions consistent with Nigeria.

There are questions that naturally find themselves on the podium of our political filming halls, given the loss of viability of a centrally managed Nigeria system; What is the need for the Igbo Presidency? Should Ndigbo address the quest for national political leadership in Nigeria with a do-or-die temperament?

The answer to these rather rhetorical questions is: Ndigbo already has well-defined survival instincts that can put them on an advantageous position in the Nigeria pattern. Ndigbo's growing commercial energy and their accomplishments in technology and education are all powerful virtues that have broken their credentials as giants of destiny, going through a civil war that has sprayed their enormous achievements into simple rubble.

The company's gift, bold and unshakeable audacity is already a huge strategic advantage for Ndigbo. Ndigbo quickly shook off the war and has since claimed social and economic viability. No thanks in Nigeria. The quest for ministerial positions and political power at the national level by Ndigbo may well turn out to be a distraction from the more strategic vision of forging an autonomous economic and commercial enclave for themselves that will make political descent in Nigeria a less ambitious one. Publicity

Nigeria's conspiracy to dismember the political unity of Igbo has been partially cushioned. The federal government of the day tactically responded with the help of the British government to have swung the territories that shared the historical and political destiny with Ndigbo, the Delta and the igbo-speaking communities of southern Nigeria, a stratagem Which poisoned the fountain of the Iglo fraternal political community.

The resultant states created from then then of eastern Nigeria by the Gowon administration would rather need political self-government for themselves than to solidarize with Igbo's political ancestry, Was based on sustained incentives from Nigeria's political elites to further weaken De Ndigbo in Nigeria's political turf.

As Okonkwo lamented in the things of Chinua Achebe collapse, "the Whiteman put a knife on what held us together and we can no longer act as one." At the moment, Ndigbo could probably not have a meaningful strategic political partnership with any group, even with his distant relatives, knowing how profound and profound Ndigbo's disaffection at this stage. Pretty cry of misfortunes by Ndigbo. A lot of sulky. Enough guilt and self-pity.

Enough of the victim mentality. Ndigbo is doing everything possible to sublimate his mediocre political fate in Nigeria into a strategic advantage. What have the governors and leaders of Igbo done so far in rehabilitating Ndigbo's innumerable innovative capacities that have elicited eminence and their respect in the context of Nigeria in the past years?

What Nigeria can not defeat is the personality and essence of Igbo. The five Igbo states have sufficient strategic strengths in terms of human capacity and creative resilience to advance Ndigbo's strong beyond the perpetual cry of 'marginalization' and 'Igbo presidency'. The Igbo development index, coupled with an attractive macroeconomic environment, may be attractive to discourage migration to states outside their domains.

Despite the lack of federal presence in Igbo lands, Igbo lands vibrate with new energy a spark of living hope. Strategic value entrepreneurs emerge in Igboland, the growing profile and spread of diaspora resources, the fertile sense of a new Igbo nationalism, deep investment in education, all provide an inspiring force to reality Of the Igbo dream.

If the leaders of the Igbo nation joined as they did in times of war, the five-star governors of Enugu, Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi and Imo aspire to lead a charge by providing an ingenious and revolutionary leadership that will have a Impact on the entire Igboland, its people, agrees to favor the vision of building Ndigbo to become the emerging house of power of the 21st century, there will be only time for the Igbo nation to eliminate the flag of a new Nation, not as a country outside of Nigeria but a land that is full of prosperity and lasting success.

This in itself will be a critical mass, an imposing force; A march of conquest that Nigeria could have tried to defeat but could not. And maybe never! 

Even a president of Igbo can not achieve it.
