HATRED IN COHABITATION: THE IGBOS IN RELATIONSHIP WITH ESPECIALLY THE HAUSA/FULANI AND THE YORUBA. By KEMKA S. IBEJI
HATRED IN COHABITATION: THE IGBOS IN RELATIONSHIP WITH ESPECIALLY THE HAUSA/FULANI AND THE YORUBA
The habitation of Nigeria by Igbos and especially Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba is so unfriendly that they want Igbos dead but won't let them be independent in Biafra. We seems to be living on a borrowed time; the next war might be the deadliest on the planet.
This bothers me more as to how folks will relish cohabitation with their dreaded enemies. You won't let them stay and won't let them go. This dilemma is fraught with disastrously potentials.
Though here is a world of opposites and the constant dualism of existence where paradoxes, antithesis, ironies are replete, I strongly feel that something does not rhyme. I can smell something amiss.
It is either the relationship is for destruction or one existing on cheat. In other words, it is either they are keeping the Igbos in Nigeria as poultry for the festival or they are milking the Igbos as parasites. In whichever way it goes, the relationship between the Igbos and especially the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba in Nigeria is an unhealthy one and should quickly be severed. Live and let live.
The laws of logic known as the "Law of Identity", the "Law of Excluded Middle" and the "Law of Non-contradiction" are in negation here in Nigeria as regards the relationship between the Igbos and the above mentioned tribes.
It is either you love somebody or you hate him/her. You don't love and hate somebody at the same time.
I have kept reading and watching all trends where Igbos will mention Biafra. The next harsh reaction will definitely come from the Yoruba man or woman and again the Hausa/Fulani. Then when anything bad happens to the Igbo, they will also be the first to say they are bad and evil people.
When the issue of Biafra is raised, they will quickly dash to saying that Nigeria is better together. They will also tell you that Igbos are landlocked and can't be a country without waterways. Subsequently, they will start with all manner of abuse and insult.
When it comes to anything good to share in Nigeria, they will say they are Biafrans; they want to go. If you give them now, they will go. This is the most annoying kind of relationship and to break up will always be bitter.
No wonder the civil war nay the Biafran war was fought. Yes is was lost by the Biafrans and whatever the cause of the loss might be inconsequential at the moment but the next will be hell.
If eventually Nigeria and her leadership keeps treating the Igbos with this leprous levity and disdain, I am afraid the end will be ineffably and excruciatingly unimaginable in the negative.
If you hear "either, or" between the options of separation or death, I'm sure those who will remain alive may not be happy to have stayed back.
Tell Nigeria to toe the good paths...
