Senator Ben Murray Bruce, a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who represented Bayelsa East Constituency in Bayelsa, has opened up on why the Igbos still want a nation of their own.
Senator Bruce made this disclosure via his Twitter account yesterday insisting that Nigeria is suppressing the Igbos talents .
Seator Bruce who described the Igbo tribe as the richest and most intelligent in Nigeria,explained that the reason why the Igbos are clamouring for their nation is very simple .
According to him,”the day Nigeria starts to cooperate with Igbo man will be the day Nigeria will compete with the rest of the world.”
Senator Bruce said “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”.
