Sometime - perhaps in late 50s or early 60s - a British Journalist interviewed a notable fellow in Nigerian history.
This is what the fellow said
amongst other things he said:
"Well, the IGBOS are more or less the type of people whose desire is mainly to dominate everybody.
If they go to a village, or town, they want to monopolize everything in that area.
If
you put them in a labour camp as a labourer;
within a year, they will try to emerge as the
headman of that camp, and so on..."
-- Sir Ahmadu Bello
Might I ask/say, my Igbo Brethren; if the most
respected Leader of the so-called 'North' had
already built his impression of Ndi-Igbo this way
in his mind as far back as 50s/60s, why wouldn't
we expect that 50 years after, his 'children,
acolytes, followers, brothers' must have been
indoctrinated with this belief and that they must
have been warned this way:
"Dare you not allow them to emerge above you. If they try, crush them by all means possible, even if by genocide"???
