Biafra: Nigerian Government's Suppression Of Igbo Talents
A famous Nigerian music artist in one of his songs said, "freedom is life". Suffocating Ndigbo/Biafrans' talents has been identified as majorly why the agitations for the restoration of Biafra has been generating much waves. This was contained in a statement by the advocate of common sense, a legislator who represented Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Senator Ben Murray Bruce.
This came from his Twitter handle @benmurraybruce, in April 2021, there he wrote on "why Ndigbo and Biafrans are seeking for a nation of their own". He stated:
"An average Igbo speaking person and the entire youths in Nigeria believe that Nigeria is suppressing their talents. Anyone who cares should investigate the way the officials of the Nigerian arm-bearing forces like the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian police and army, are intimidating, kidnapping and killing youths, you will know why they want a separate nation of their own where they can reach their potentials.
The day the Nigerian government starts to cooperate with the Igbos will be the day Nigeria will compete with the rest of the world.
Why has it been too difficult for the world to separate Biafrans from Nigeria and see if the assertions is true or not? It is time to let Biafrans be on their own.
