THE IGBOS AND THEIR UNHEALED PERSECUTION COMPLEX - Austin Emaduku

In a recent article titled “IGBO-HATERS, THE AREWA ULTIMATUM AND OUR NATION ” Ruben Abati, former Presidential spokesperson said in the opening sentence: “Fifty years after the civil war ended, Igbos do not yet feel a sense of belonging, acceptance or safety in the federation called Nigeria.” Dr Abati went on in the article to build on this statement as the reason for the Igbo agitation. As is with everything written by erudite Abati, the piece was written in the highest delectable prose. He gave several instances, some of which sounded far fetched to give credence to this opening statement of his article.
