For Ndigbo, another chance beckons in 2019. Yes, in 2019, Nigeria will<\/div>\n
\n
go through another election process. After the self-inflicted tragedy
\nof 2015, the coming election should be an opportunity for Igbo to mend
\nor further mar their chances in a Nigeria that is built on
\nmulti-ethnic chassis. Will it be a period for Igbo to undo the
\nmistakes they did to themselves in 2015, which has worsened their
\nfate? Will Ndigbo use that golden opportunity to make political peace
\nwith the rest of Nigeria and most importantly, signify their intent,
\ntheir readiness, and their suitability to handle the baton in 2023? Or
\nwill Ndigbo fail to seize the current and rather make another
\negregious political miscalculation that will reduce their chances of
\nleading the country in 2023? These are critical questions, whose
\nanswers are still whirling in the wind but which, one way or the
\nother, must be answered by how well the Igbo play their card in 2019.<\/p>\n

To be clear, Igbo made an egregious mistake in 2015, by packing all
\ntheir political eggs in one fragile basket. Call it political naivety.
\nCall it political myopia or anything but it was a costly mistake that
\nboomeranged. The ripple effects of that regrettable political mistake
\nresonate in the noisomeclanging the Igbo have made their primary
\nbusiness in Nigeria since 2015. That mistake finds expression in a
\npoorly articulated and awfully hatched Biafranutopia, whose
\ncontradictions charges fully at the chaotic demand for it. Ndigbomay
\nstrives to underplay the effects of the 2015 political mistake but the
\nacrimonious darts and furious allegations of marginalization and
\ndissenting clamors that emanated after the 2015 election show that
\nIgbo is faced with the consequences of its political choice in the
\nlast election. As escapist as the Biafra agitation is, Ndigbo must
\nstay in Nigeria and fight it out with other constituent units.
\nDemanding to be given Biafra, with all the inchoate arguments and the
\nreal promises of a more conflicting life in said Biafra, if granted,
\namounts to a defeatist way of walking away from a problem one
\ninflicted on oneself and which one must confront.<\/p>\n

To get what they desire or what belongs to them in Nigeria, Ndigbo
\nmust realize that there is no shortcut; there is no room for the
\nself-pity, which had dotted most of their agitations since 2015. There
\nis no room for beggarly appeal. There is no room for the victim
\nmentality the race has stubbornly stuck to. There is no room for the
\nkind of group think Ndigbo have adopted since 2015.Ndigbo must realize
\nthat they will make their bed in Nigeria the way they want to lie on
\nit. In politics, power is never given on a platter of gold. It doesn’t
\ncome for free. It doesn\u2019t land on your laps just because you have made
\nenough appeal to be pitied by others. It doesn\u2019t come to you because
\nyou have made the loudest noise. It doesn\u2019t come to you because you
\nhave cried loudest. It struggled for and the best way to struggle for
\npower is for a race to first, embrace introspection. This is a time
\nthe race goes into its inner covens, reviews its moves and strategies
\nso far, tells itself the home truth and adopts new, workable and
\nacceptable strategies to get what it wants.<\/p>\n

Sadly, one of the major deficiencies Igbo have is the lack of capacity
\nfor introspection. Igbo have not yet fangled out a forum where it
\nlooks itself in the mirror and tells itself the truth, no matter how
\nunpalatable it may be. This deficiency has accounted for why any
\nreprobate, miscreant and scoundrel seizes the center stage, with cheap
\npopular mantra and every other person follows. This is the sad stage
\nIgbo are today and this can never elevate the race in any sphere of
\nhuman endeavor, talk less of politics. Igbo must recreate its society
\nand allow the philosopher-king to assume his rightful place to dictate
\nwhere and how the society is headed. Igbo must disperse the illiterate
\nrabble that has seized its throne and get for themselves a credible
\nleadership that would not shirk from telling them the unpalatable
\ntruth and exile the rabble from the throne to the lowest rung of the
\nsociety where it belongs. A tail does not wag the dog, as we are
\nseeing in Igboland today.<\/p>\n

Next, Igbo must evolve a credible political leadership that is not
\nruled by selfish and narrow interests and who will not sink the
\ncollective ship for itself-interest. This blight has been the singular
\nmost portent atrophy that has held Igbo down at present. Those clubs
\nof evergreen political profiteers who have made a life business of
\nmaking a profit from Ndigbo must be retired. This emergent political
\nleadership must sit down and mobilize the good brains in Igboland to
\nchart a political way forward. No one should be afraid of hearing
\ndissenting opinions on how best to achieve the goals. No one should
\nseek to take the quest to the unthinking mob, believing to reap the
\naftermath. This is what led Igbo to the political valley it is in
\ntoday. Whatever political roadmap Ndigbo comes up, en route and beyond
\n2019 should take full regard that Nigeria is a multi-ethnic and
\nmulti-cultural entity so whatever political course must adequately
\ntake care of the interests, the fears, and the assurances of other
\nethnic groups. It must, while attending to the Igbo political needs,
\naccommodate the fears and interests of others.<\/p>\n

Then, Igbo must follow up by identifying political platforms that will
\nmake it practically possible for them to realize their interests and
\nbuild support for that platform. This, by no means, will amount to
\noutlawing other platforms but rather the concentration of efforts at
\nsupporting or building such identified platform. Such platform could
\nbe APC, PDP, APGA or any other platform but Ndigbo must ensure they
\nlive with the consequences of supporting such platform and living with
\nthe aftermaths and not sulk or seek dismemberment because their chosen
\nplatform lost in an election. That means more than a narrow
\nperspective will come into play in deciding what platform Igbo need to
\nback to realize their political ambitions in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Based on the choice of platform, which I presume, must be built on
\nfuturestrengths and prospects, Ndigbo should proceed immediately to
\nrepair and rebuild damaged bridges with every other ethnic group in
\nNigeria. Igbo should employ its brightest and best for this task and
\nensure that no stone is leftunturned in cementing the deep crevices
\nthat have been carelessly created inthe bridge that links Ndigbo and
\nother ethnic groups in Nigeria. The aim is toeliminate mutual
\nsuspicion, anger, and acrimony with other Nigerians for the2019 and
\nsubsequent elections. Bridges mended, Ndigbo should look deep enough
\nto get the best Igbo that is not only Igbo enough but trusted by other
\nethnic groups to steer the Nigerian ship to fruitful anchor and
\nprepare such person forthe 2023 presidency.<\/p>\n

With the foregoing, Ndigbo can gointo the 2019 election with a deep
\nconviction that whatever move they make in2019 will affect the future
\nrelationship between Igbo and other Nigerians and of course, prepare
\nthe grounds for the long expected Igbo presidency in 2023. Igbo should
\nnote that how well they play the 2019 card will determine how they
\nachieve the 2023 goal. If they misuse their cards again in 2019, they
\nmustembrace the reality that their 2023 quest for the nation\u2019s
\npresidency will get greatly damaged.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if Igbo elects to approach the 2019 election with
\nthereigning post-2015 election mindset, with the grudge, bitterness
\nand deep-seethedanger they are carrying over from their historical
\nmistake of 2015, then theyshould be prepared to warm that role longer
\nthan 2023. After 2023, they willrealize the truth in the saying that
\npower is never surrendered on a platter ofgold. One has to work to get
\nthe power he dreams of. Again, it is verydifficult in Nigeria today to
\nget power while antagonizing or working at cross-purpose with the
\nmajority of other Nigerians. It is impossible to get powerwhile
\nbuilding a wall of hatred, antagonism, and bitterness. It is
\nimpossible to access power while erecting reclusive garrisons around
\noneself. We mustopen up, reach out to others and generate a
\npan-country understanding that will tremendously assist us to realize
\nour just political ambition. How we play our cards in 2019 will
\ndetermine how ready we are for power and Ndigbo must start now to work
\ntowards making the very best use of that golden opportunity.Posterity
\nwill not spare Ndigbo if they fail again to make use of this golden
\nwindow.<\/p>\n

Biafra? Perish that thought. It is an unrealizable utopia for now.<\/p>\n
