In Nigeria, the Igbo are seen to be marginalized in all facets of life, be it political, social and economical. Whereas we cry in opposition to marginalization throughout the nation, many Igbo folks have truly cheated on their folks. The angle of so many Igbo folks in latest occasions is extra threatening than the exterior marginalization we’re crying in opposition to.
It needs to be famous that whereas some individuals are getting used in opposition to their fellow Igbo for egocentric causes, others do theirs for the only objective of witch-hunting. Majority of the people who find themselves engaged on this evil practices are literally blind to what they’re doing.
Politically, one can’t be mistaken to say that we’re the reason for our political misfortune. Since 1963 when Nigeria turned a republic the story has been of 1 distinguished Igbo-man standing in opposition to his fellow brothers in his political ambition.
Socially, the position of some Igbo folks don’t in any approach present any indicators of patriotism. Whereas we cry in opposition to the elusive of social facilities from the Federal Authorities, the few ones which might be being awarded are used for political functions utilizing our folks to finalize the evil functions. This angle is nothing wanting inside marginalization of Igbo by the Igbo. Probably the most disappointing of all is the unpatriotic belief throughout the Japanese States and their fraudulent attitudes. It’s disheartening to notice the behaviour exhibited by some Igbo people who find themselves within the Federal places of work in opposition to their fellow Igbo. If an Igbo-person is in search of employment or mini-contracts and mistakenly enters an workplace the place an Igbo man heads, she or he would denounce his/her tribal origin because of ill-treatment meted in opposition to his/her by the Igboman. When confronted, the one and main excuses you get is that they’ve to try this for the safety of their job. However ought to that be seen as a spirit of patriotism? It isn’t in itself a type of self marginalization?
Economically, Igbo are industrious and technologically proficient. Despite the fact that the Federal Authorities has some lukewarm angle in encouraging these uncommon skills, there are highly effective and well-to-do Igbo individuals who can encourage these younger women and men with out expertise, sadly these privileged people are egocentric.
Let these individuals who have been opportuned to help others understand that the Igbo are one. As soon as we’re collectively we are going to ever stay united to uphold our excessive esteemed tradition.
