\nBY TOCHUKWU EZUKANMA<\/p>\n

To become the president of Nigeria, a presidential candidate must battle
\nfor power and be bruised, battered and bloodied in the political
\ntrenches for power. The global advance of democracy and its peaceful
\ntransfer of power, through the ballot box, made obsolete Mao Tse
\nTung\u2019s maxim that \u201cpower flows from the barrel of the gun\u201d, but
\nstill, the struggle for power is no mean feat; it remains incredibly
\nexcruciating. Power is elusive; it eludes many that desire it because,
\n\u201cit takes a unique kind of man to win the struggle for power\u201d. It is
\nonly the gritty, resilient and tough-minded with enormous capacity for
\nexpediency and intrigues that can win the struggle for presidential
\npower in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Nobody can ever dash you power. So, for the 2023 presidential election,
\nthe Igbo must field \u201cunique kind of men\u201d that can win the struggle
\nfor power or there will not be an Igbo president. To expect the
\nemergence of an Igbo president because it is the turn of the Igbo (for
\nthe sake of justice and equity) to produce the next president is
\nstarry-eyed nonsense. But then, why are the Igbo, a proud, enterprising
\nand innovative people going cap in hand begging for an Igbo president
\nbecause it is our turn to produce the next president? Why do we desire
\npower but want to evade the rigors and demands of fighting for power and
\nwinning the fight for power? Why do we feel like political destitute,
\npublic wards and victims that have to be dashed power or helped to
\npower? It is because we are haunted by the ghost of Biafra: the fear and
\nparanoia instilled in us by the Biafran propaganda. For us to have the
\nguts and self-confidence to lay claim to, and take, all that is
\nlegitimately ours in Nigeria, including the presidency, we must exorcise
\nfrom ourselves the ghost of Biafra.<\/p>\n

Before the civil war, the Igbo held sway over Nigeria, and the other
\npeoples of Nigeria lamented \u201cIgbo domination\u201d. This was not because
\nanyone rolled out a red carpet for us to walk through, and establish
\nourselves across the entire range of the Nigeria social life. It was a
\nfeat achieved against a gamut of obstinate impediments: tribalism,
\nHausa\/Fulani hegemony, Yoruba irredentism, etc. And in the years
\nfollowing the civil war, from the nadir of powerlessness and
\nhelplessness of unconditional surrender, we, again, successfully dealt
\nwith the daunting obstacles of tribalism, Hausa\/Fulani hegemony, Yoruba
\nirredentism, etc. By 1979, we had made an impressive comeback in
\nNigerian politics. This was because the immediate post-war Igbo
\nleaders\u2019 concept of Nigeria was shaped before Biafra; they were not
\npersuaded by the misinformation of Biafranism. Therefore, they remained
\nunambiguously committed to one Nigeria. They understood that by Third
\nWorld standards and within the limits of human weakness and the Nigerian
\nFactor, the Nigerian system works for all Nigerians. Consequently, not
\nfeeling marginalized and victimized, not wallowing in self-pity and
\nfeeling of victimhood and not thinking and behaving like second-class
\ncitizens, they laid claim to all that was legitimately theirs in their
\ncountry.<\/p>\n

Presently, most Igbo\u2019s concept of Nigeria and the place of the Igbo in
\nNigeria were informed and shaped by the falsehood of the Biafran
\npropaganda. The lingering grip of this propaganda on Igbo minds \u2013 the
\nghost of Biafra \u2013 makes us fearful and paranoid: we see ulterior
\nmotives in every act, no matter how well-intended and benign, by other
\nNigerians because we feel surrounded by enemies committed, and united in
\na common plot, to our destruction. It makes us believe that despite our
\nresourcefulness and hard work, we still cannot make much progress
\nbecause there is a grand conspiracy by other Nigerians to subvert our
\nevery attempt at success. It is this persecution complex, not tribalism,
\nHausa\/Fulani hegemony, Yoruba irredentism, etc, that is holding us down
\nin Nigerian politics.<\/p>\n

So, unlike the earlier Igbo power elite that believed that they can win
\nthe struggle for power, and be elected president\/prime minister, the
\npresent power elite, in their diffidence, expect presidential power
\nbecause it is their turn. Unlike in the past when the Igbo saw
\ntribalism, Hausa\/Fulani hegemony, Yoruba irredentism, etc as
\nsurmountable challenges to success, we now see them as complete barrier
\nto success. Thus, we blame them for all our problems and failures.
\nDespite the litany of determined obstacles in our path, with the right
\nmindset, we can replicate our earlier successes in all facet of Nigerian
\npublic life, especially politics. The ghost of Biafra entraps us in a
\npolitical limbo, where we refuse to enthusiastically embrace a real
\ncountry, Nigeria, and, instead, pine for an imaginary country, Biafra: a
\npreposterous, indeterminate state that rejects reality and clings to
\nfantasy.<\/p>\n

Like Biafranism, neo-Biafranism thrives on lies and propagandistic
\nexaggerations. Neo-Biafranism is reinforcing the Igbo persecution
\ncomplex. Despite the danger and disruption of neo-Biafranism, the
\nOhaneze and the Igbo political class continue to equivocate on
\nneo-Biafranism. It distracts, enervates, and confuses the Igbo. If we
\nare Biafrans or committed to the realization of Biafra, why do we desire
\nthe presidency of Nigeria (a foreign country). And if we are Nigerians
\nand want to produce the next president of Nigeria, why do we pander to
\nthe forces of neo-Biafranism? Can you, at the same time, be an
\nunyielding outsider and a consummate insider? The answer is no.<\/p>\n

The Igbo must therefore reject the misinformation of Biafranism and its
\nexcrescence, neo-Biafranism, and embrace some incontrovertible
\nhistorical facts. Some Igbo, especially, amongst Igbo intellectuals and
\nsurviving First Republic Igbo elite know that Biafraism was reckless and
\nsenseless extremism. It was a foolhardy, suicidal venture that was not
\nin the interest of Ndi Igbo and the other peoples of Eastern Region of
\nNigeria. It was driven by hot enthusiasm of youth and impatient hunger
\nof selfish ambition. However, most of them lack the courage to state the
\nfacts about Chukwuemeka Ojukwu and his Biafranism because they are
\nafraid of making enemies among the Igbo and being castigated as
\nsaboteurs and paid agents of the Hausa\/Fulani. However, for the good of
\nthe Igbo, they must take the risk of making enemies and being
\ndiscredited, and educate the Igbo masses on the realities of Biafra.<\/p>\n

The truth about Biafra will rebut the lies of the Biafran propaganda,
\nlay bare the myth-encrusted image of Ojukwu and expose the deception of
\nBiafranism. Invariably, it will help immensely in freeing the Igbo mind
\nfrom the psychological fetters of Biafranism. It will allow the Igbo
\nmind to imbibe a new attitude towards Nigeria, an attitude premised on
\nconfidence in Nigeria and the appreciation of the good in the other
\npeoples of Nigeria, and a resolve to build a peaceful and common future
\nwith them in a united Nigeria. And consequently, Ndi Igbo will feel and
\nlive as bonafide citizens of Nigeria, with the courage and aplomb to lay
\nclaim to presidential power, and not beg for it like political
\ndestitute.<\/p>\n
