Nigeria; I am not your enemy – I am an Igbo man

Njoku SaintJerry A

We were never brought together to be this hating of one another in the name of religion, tribe or ethnic rather we were come together to represent the African pride of people of colour all over the world

As a Youth Ambassador, State of Africa Diaspora, I am joining the Mac-Ada Peace Foundation promoting Peace and Unity Project in Nigeria, to announce to the young people and every person of Nigerian descent resident at home and overseas, that you will be doing yourself and this great people of Nigeria a disservice, a dishonour to yourself and perpetual self destruction by aligning with the political class whose primary interest is in the business of accumulating money, power and fame to the ultimate destruction of every fabric of humanity left in Nigeria – In the end to this Nigeria you will either remain or return while the Political elites take leave in droves to Dubai, UK, US of A and even Europe with all their families including their concubines.
You will be destroying nobody but your own self by joining forces with individuals in these category to forment trouble either on their behalf, on the behalf of their political interest, ethnic or religious.

If you must know, Since the temporary departure of the colonial stronghold on Africa, The African political class from history, after independence has not been known to promote a people oriented policy that should bring people of the region together to build synergy for a collective development

If you must know, the Nigeria we call our own emerged from a group of people of African descents, not Europeans, not Asians and not even Arabs.

We are a unique people, because, first – We are Africans and acclaimed to be the most populous black people on earth. As people of Colour, We are and remain One family of ideal gene found in every people of color all over the world.

Does Nigeria’s ‘generation democracy’ want to vote

Our weakness has remained our failure and continuous failure to understand that as black people of the earth. We are and remain one family before religion was born.

Characters and traits might have made the difference in us.
This is nothing but divine, because no two individuals are born or created the same, not even twins from same parents.
Those who have lived among us over the time, those whom our fathers have resisted from every means of exploiting our hospitality and subjugating us as slaves and second fiddle even in our own domain have taken ample time to study our weakness, our ignorance and failure to learn from our mistakes.

Our weakness has remained our failure and continuous failure to understand that as black people of the earth. We are and remain one family before religion was born.
Tribes and tongues may differ; however, they have only helped in managing the family units to definite development. One group after the other, and where one group is moving faster in knowledge, arts and technology, they serve as an example of growth and development to the others

No family on earth is ever made up of individuals of the same characters and traits. Among us there must be the most intelligent, the slow learners, the traders, the farmers, the technocrats, professionals and academics, among us there must exist family units as the Igbos, the Hausas, the Yoruba, the Igbira, Bini, Idoma, the Kanuri people and more whom have all come together to answer this name called Nigeria.
We were never brought together to be this hating of one another in the name of religion, tribe or ethnic rather we were come together to represent the African pride of people of colour all over the world, in our strength, our diversity and agility to survive the pressure of life and challenge of the global society.
If by chance you are aware of this challenge of a Unity in diversity which is destroying the divine strength the Almighty God has bestowed on this black nation of people of strong will and characters why feign ignorance at the collective damage and imminent collapse facing us all.

The Political Elites promoting these wave of hatred across the land will run away in the heat of the crisis and we will be left helpless in the end after we must have expose each other to extreme hardship and pain.


Our Ignorance has remained in our inability to understand the fake boundaries designed by those who at no time ever meant well for the unity and peace of this nation, whether you are Niger-Deltan, South-South, Northwest, North East, North Central, South East and Southwest, Whether you are Moslem, Christian, Pentecostal or Catholic, Shiite or Almajiri – These are all man-made boundaries with one sole intent. Divide and Rule, Disorganize and Destroy every unit of family that should make the nation stable, strong and succeed as a great people of color, a great nation of the African continent. Called Nigeria

Now, This is our collective mistake, our ignorance to learn this fast and understand that we alone will be responsible for our failures, our destruction and complete annihilation of the Great Nigeria or our dream!
Come back my dear brothers and sisters, I am not your enemy, I am an Igbo man from Nigeria, a Yoruba man from Nigeria, a Hausa and a Kanuri man from Nigeria, you are not my enemy.

The Political Elites promoting these wave of hatred across the land will run away in the heat of the crisis and we will be left helpless in the end after we must have expose each other to extreme hardship and pain.
There is no better place than home, there is no land, no location so fantastic that it takes away the natural affinity to places of our nativity
Come back my friend and join hands with me to rebuild the Nigeria of our dream.
Take my hands and let’s rise again.
I am your brother, your sister, your friend!
I am Nigeria
