Killing Igbo people is the easiest way to make money in Nigeria
With the announcement that the government of Nigeria under the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan is offering financial reward to killers of Igbos, reports are indicating that more moderate Hausa/Fulani men are being encouraged by extremist Islamic clerics and traditional rulers to join Boko Haram as a way of getting a slice of the national cake.
This is not the first time that mass murderers and killers of Igbo people have been rewarded in Nigeria. What Goodluck Jonathan and his Hausa/Fulani dominated executive are doing is merely the continuation of the policy instituted in Nigeria prior to transfer of power from colonial masters to natives 1960. In order to ensure that political power resided permanently in Northern Nigeria Hausa/Fulani mobs went on rampage in 1945, 1953 and 1959 in Northern Nigeria and massacred their favourite prey the Igbo people resident in their communities. As a result the North despite their numerical disadvantage and lack of education emerged as the beneficiaries of One Nigeria with in-built political majority that entrenched their control over Nigeria till date.
When Obafemi Awolowo presided over the second largest mass extermination of a people in the history of mankind, second only to the Jewish Holocaust in Europe, he was rewarded with economic concessions, ministerial positions and control of Nigeria treasury. It was the policy of Obafemi Awolowo that led Steve Jobs the founder of Apple to turn his back against christianity because he said God cannot be alive in heaven and watch little children die in unimaginable pain and misery merely for being Igbo. The most insulting and gut wrenching aspect of this whole episode is that money belonging to the same Igbo people who were being exterminated was seized by the same Awolowo and shared amongst Yoruba people.
Kill Igbo people in Nigeria and get paid for it. It is clear that historically those involved in the killing of Igbo people do not see it as a crime, rather it is viewed as a legitimate money making exercise since nobody has ever been held accountable for all the crimes against them. The killing and reward for killing Igbo people will continue until Biafra is free. Anybody thinking otherwise needs his or her head examined or is not a student of history. As everybody knows, history always and will always repeat itself until you put a stop to it.
