Stolen From The Mind Of A British Man
So you Igbo people are worried that we, the British people, are against you. Tell me why we won't be against you. We came to Nigeria; every tribe bowed to us, and we ruled them, but you gave us headaches. You frightened us with the long juju of Arọ Chukwu. You organised the Ekumeku w@r and fought us for 30 years undefeated. It took the indirect rule system before we could rule you, people, indirectly.
In the 1950s, others kept quiet, but you ndị Igbo, led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, used the same English language we taught him to write against us and sent us packing not only from Nigeria, but from West Africa. He awakened Africa through his newspaper and created figures like Kwame Nkrumah. Where did Nelson Mandela hide when he came to Nigeria, if not in Igboland?
During the Biafra war, we thought we could sweep you people away with police action; we suggested it to Gowon, and to our surprise, you ndị Igbo held on for 3 years. It took our supply of weapons, bringing in bombers from Egypt and Russia, and also a blockade before we could defeat you, people. In difficulties, you Ndi Igbo produced Ogbunigwe, fighter jets, flew your aeroplanes, maintained your telecoms, and fuel Nigeria couldn't refine up to this day; you ndị Igbo refined under bombardment and never suffered fuel scarcity. Tell me why we won't be against you people. Tell me why we will not give Ahmadu Bello prime minister and Zik a ceremonial president. We can't hand Nigeria our colony to such people. No way.
We made sure Biafra was b0mbed into the Stone Age. We b0mbed churches, farmlands, schools, refugee camps and residential houses, but go to that your land after just 20 years; you rebuilt without government aid. We took all your bank money and gave 20 pounds to a few who could provide their papers, but today you ndị Igbo have taken over businesses in Nigeria. You guys have bought almost all of Abuja and Lagos. Even when we illegally demolish your properties using our willing tools in Nigeria, you are still buying.
We denied you everything, including seaports, yet you are on top. Who does that? Who?
Now every ethnic group in Nigeria is comfortable with the bad things happening in Nigeria; only the Igbo people are agitating to leave Nigeria. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention for five years, and he has refused to give up. In 1960 it was Nnamdi. In 2026 it is still Nnamdi. Why not Musa? Why not Awolowo? Others are our willing tools. Only the Igbo man has refused to bend. We have made sure we denied you people infrastructure. We denied you people the office of the president. Yet you people are waxing stronger. Then what will happen if we let you people be president or leave Nigeria? You people will not just become the Japan of Africa. You guys will become more than that.
And you, as an Igbo man, still wonder why we are against all of you. Like seriously?
