By Ifeoma Okeke (Abia writers)
Biafrans are a blessed race, wherever one or more Biafrans are seen in any part of the world, call it Asian, European, American, or African countries, the government and the citizens of that particular country must feel their existence because of the progress, growth and development they initiated in bringing up their economy and technology. Imagine a country, state or city that is not developed, and a Biafran(s) happens to relocate to such city, state or country.
I will give you just 6 months to 5 years, and you will see how people will crowd that place for business, tourism, etc. The Biafrans inspire others who believe in their effort and dedication and empower their fans with their passion for growth. People like Innoson Motors and Izuogu, the first man who invented vehicle technology in Igbo land, Chikason industries, etc., are calibers of people who brought technological innovation to Nigeria, which helped employ workers and gave room for tourism and foreigners to visit.
However, envy, jealousy, greed, wickedness and tribalism tied the eyes of the Nigerian government like a log of wood. It would not allow them to see the light before them. Hatred for Biafrans is killing Nigeria. The main problem Nigeria is facing is the hatred they have for Biafrans. This hatred is affecting Nigeria economically, technologically and otherwise.
The Biafrans are independent. They love the work of their hands and are proud of what they can build, manufacture, produce, etc. They could withstand every situation they met from those days until now; they could run a country economically and technologically without importation solely on their efforts. Why is it not working in Nigeria?
The Biafrans could convert a baby plane to a jet bomber; they could build their vehicles, and within the shortest of time, they could manufacture guns and bullets. They did everything to withstand Nigeria during the war. So why are some of those technologies not functioning in Nigeria? The answer is hatred for the Biafrans, which is killing and frustrating Nigeria.
If Biafrans were loved and accepted in Nigeria according to the TREATY of 1970, NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED, they would bring their best economic and technological know-how to ensure they were comfortable in the land. But because they are hated and envied, they are all in their shells and cannot give their best. So, nobody should expect any miracle to happen in Nigeria. Nigeria can never get better.
