Every developed nation first became an education superpower before becoming an economic superpower.

Education is not another sector.

Education is the operating system of a nation.

Everything else runs on it.

[Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1]

No Nigerian would ever attack or harass another foreign Black man in Nigeria because he is an immigrant or outsider.

It's alien to us; we can't even conceive of it.

We may not have a GDP of $100 trillion or high-speed rail, but when we say we are “Giants of Africa,” it's because we have bled and shed for Africa unequivocally and individually.

We didn't help South Africa fight Apartheid because we wanted to migrate to Durban; we did it collectively because it was the right thing to do.

We ask for nothing more than basic respect.

Proud.

Recently, my mom was on admission. Everyday, myself, my siblings and my dad were at the hospital. We kept her company till 10pm before we dispersed, with one person staying back overnight.

Everyday, I looked around and saw the entire family and I smiled. It made me realized part of the ressons I hated living abroad. Your love one is sick and all you can do is send money. Meanwhile, your heart is beating fast because you cant see them. There is celebration or random Sunday family gathering and you are the only one missing. The reason I always show up in person for anything is that money cannot fill the place of presence. It is the memories we share that lingers.

Many families can't gather together anymore for celebration or caregiving. The only time some families can gather now is burial, and even burial no dey see complete family again. Nigeria has to work for the next generation. They deserve to gather around with their cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, parents, and grandparents on a random Sunday.

The hatred against the Igbo did not start the way many Nigerians think.

Before 1914, there was no Nigeria. The Igbo were not a minority. They were a complete civilization decentralized, independent, economically active, and impossible to conquer internally.

They were not dependent on any central authority.

They were free.

When the British created Nigeria in 1914, they merged fundamentally different civilizations into one country for administrative convenience and not unity.

Then something happened.

The Igbo embraced Western education faster than most regions. By the 1940s and 50s, they began appearing everywhere in railways, civil service, trade, banking, education.

They left home and built lives across Nigeria.

But visibility can create suspicion.

Political actors began weaponizing that visibility.

Then January 15, 1966 happened.

A coup carried out by young military officers but it was immediately branded an “Igbo coup,” even though the coup did not install an Igbo civilian government, and not all its leaders were Igbo.

But perception became reality.

A label was created.

And that label changed everything.

An entire ethnic group became associated with ambition, conspiracy, and threat not because of what millions of ordinary people did, but because of a narrative that served political survival.

Fear was manufactured.

Suspicion was institutionalized.

And generations inherited a distrust they never personally experienced.

Nigeria was not broken by ethnicity.

Nigeria was broken the day citizens began to see their neighbors as enemies instead of fellow survivors of the same system.
