I SEE A BIG CLOUD HANGING OVER NIGERIA – ELDER STATESMAN MBAZULIKE AMAECHI (FINAL PART)

How would you rate the South east governors? Are they meeting the expectations of the people and your own expectations?

They are governors of their states, but they are not Igbo leaders. They are governors, effective or ineffective.

What do you mean that they are not Igbo leaders?

I have never seen them take any position in the common interests of Igbo land.

Do you have any specific example to justify your positions?

You can only give example of what took place. What did not take place; you cannot give example of it.

I mean, there must be one situation where they were anti-Igbo?

Alright, you have Ohanaeze as the umbrella organization of Ndigbo. Not a single governor of the present set has any interest in Ohanaeze. The other day, Ohanaeze wanted to hold Igbo rally at Okpara square at Enugu, and the state government insisted that Ohanaeze must pay N100,000 (One hundred thousand Naira) for Ohanaeze to use the field. But the present secretariat of Ohanaeze was given to the organization by Dr. Okwesileze Nwodo when he was the governor of Enugu State. Every governor is entitled to be a member of Ime Obi, the highest decision making organ. It is their right. None of the present governors attends any of the meetings, and yet they are invited. What is responsible for the apathy?

They are governors of their states, but they are not Igbo leaders. They have no collective Igbo interests in them

Given the spiraling crises in Nigeria today, as a foremost nationalist, I want you to give a prescription for peace to reign

One, the most critical area of crises is the Boko Haram nonsense that is going on now. There should be a solution to the menace. I said it more than a year ago, that the Federal Government should realize that right inside their government, they have Boko Haram members. It is not these small boys who carry bombs or guns that are only involved. They are not the ones who provide the funds. Some influences, some people, some authorities are providing the funds. Some authorities are providing the technical know-how. For the manufacturing of the explosive devices and others, some military personnel are training these people. So, why is it that Boko Haram will just wake up and come and burn down a police station, drive away an army unit somewhere, and even enter army barracks. How is it that more than 200 girls abducted is was done easily? It is not a job 5 or 6 people could have done. It must have been accomplished by at least over a 100 people.

You see, the girls will naturally want to run around to escape and they will be picked up, one by one. Again, they would not have been taken away in one vehicle. At least six or more vehicles would have been used. And this operation could not have been accomplished in five or ten minutes. It must have taken hours. And yet the security services in that area did not know of it and did not do anything. No reaction. No. The government should dig into what is happening and change their methods and approach. Those girls have been taken away for two weeks now. Don’t forget they were taken away in the night and some of them did not have enough clothes on their bodies. Some of them were in their sleeping gowns. Are we not human beings? Are we not giving a thought to the fate of the girls? And there is no doubt about it, they are being raped by these criminals. It shows that certain people in authority, power and wealth are backing these people. So, if they are backing them and they want the country to breakup, why don’t they have the courage to declare that they don’t want to be part of the country again? The government should study the situation and face realities… The End…
