‘Who Owns Nigeria?’: How Igbo Man Sees Sambisa Forest — Ikpeazu

The governor of Abia state, Okezie Ikpeazu, has described an Igbo man as someone who sees investment opportunities everywhere.

According to the governor, “the Igbo man doesn’t just see Sambisa as a forest, but as an investment opportunity”.

Ikpeazu who spoke in Aba on Thursday enjoined Nigerians to copy the spirit of the Igbo man to enhance cohesion and development.

He noted that while the Igbo can be found to be investing in places like Kaura Namoda, Zamfara state, other tribes in Nigeria hardly invest in Igboland and called for a change to promote national unity.

“Nigerians should copy the spirit of the Igbo. We are the real Nigerians. We are everywhere and we invest and spend money everywhere.

“The rest of Nigeria seems to be withdrawn. They should copy the outlook of the Igbo man.

“For the Igbo man to come and do a 5-storey building in Kaura Namoda and establish a hospital, build other things to add value means that he has faith that he belongs there.

“And he is not likely going to encourage anything that will not protect his investments.

“Other Nigerians are still withdrawn and unable to trust one another. You can’t find an Adamu Sanda Nigeria Limited on Azikiwe road in Abia.

“It is even difficult to find Kolawole Nigeria Limited in Enugu.

“I have a t-shirt where all the states have dots. And I now ask; dot, dot everywhere, who owns Nigeria? It must be the dot people. The Igbo man adds value and supports socio-economic development.

“So, there has been this failure to recognize by the authorities that there are a people talking through their attitudes that they are the real Nigerians.”
