When we [Igbos] are called the Jews of this part of the world, it means a lot. And to whom much is given, much is expected. A tree by the road is the one that receives the knife cut.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cWe\u2019re in the market place always and we dance beautiful dances. That\u2019s who the Igbos are. So we become the envy of other people.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;An Igbo man starts his business with kiosk today, give him the next one year, he turns it to a shop. From a kiosk to a shop.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cIt\u2019s here. Spit into our hands by a force we call Chukwu Abiama. You can\u2019t take it away. So we would continue to be the envy of other people.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cI remember during the elections last year, some people said the Igbos want to take over Lagos. How can we take over Lagos? For what when we have an ancestral home we come from?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cBut then most of us don\u2019t want to go back. And it\u2019s only in Nigeria that it happens. A New Yorker is a New Yorker regardless of where they come from.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cSo if we abolish state of origin in Nigeria, we will be better as a country. What has it got to do with state of origin when you\u2019re employing somebody? It\u2019s the IQ we\u2019re looking for.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cSo being Igbo has become an endangered specie. Because I\u2019m now judged by where I come from, not by what I have to offer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThe content is what should be looked at. So in the larger entity called Nigeria, there has been a division, nepotism orchestrated by many people for political, economic and religious purposes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cBeing Igbo and being a Nigerian to me, is like running at opposite courses. It looks like the [civil] war never ended.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cFor instance, Prof Yusuf formerly of the NHIS granted an interview I watched on Arise TV a few months ago.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cHe said, \u2018these our Igbo brothers, why are they not talking? Why are they not joining the protest?\u2019 And I replied him the next day, I said, \u2018Prof, during the elections, you said we didn\u2019t have the capacity to be president, so we don\u2019t have the capacity to protest.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cYou said we can\u2019t be trusted with power.\u2019 I mean, these are statements that are on papers so I\u2019m not saying it out of context.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cWhen other Nigerians were protesting from region to region, I said, \u2018Igbos, you are targets o!\u2019 Igbos are the only people who come to every community in Nigeria and build houses.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;We are the only people. Give it to us because we call every place we come home. We are not looking for an Igbo president. We are looking for a president of Igbo extraction who will give Nigeria with what he has and what God has given him.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThe fear of the Igbo man that \u2018in 1967, Ojukwu declared a succession, if you give them that opportunity again they will secede,\u2019 is only imaginary.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cLike I said, we are the only people who own properties even in the remotest areas in Nigeria. So that fear is induced.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;The day you give an Igbo man the presidency of this country, that is the day Nigeria will discover why it is Nigeria.
