In 1900s During Nigerian Civil War, Igbos produced all the weapons they used to fight the war, but Nigeria did not manufacture even a gun.
After the civil war, Nigeria still could not produce even toothpick as a country, but Igbos are still producing cars, clothes, shoes etc.
An average Igbo man believes that Nigeria is suppressing his talents, and that is why they want a separate nation where they can reach their potentials.
The day Nigeria starts to cooperate with Igbo man will be the day Nigeria will compete with the rest of the world.
