I think, psychologically, the Igbo’re a defeated race.
I think the Civil War left the society with PTSD & a paralyzing fear of the Nigerian State.
I think the War also left the rest of us with a subconscious disdain of ‘Them’.
It’s the only way this makes sense

One billion dollars to fight Boko Haram as approved by the FG officially means the insurgent are yet to be "technically" defeated.The breakdown of the sum is necessary to make meaning out of it.Throwing money to counter those throwing bombs hasn't worked in the past.
The girl that insisted on wearing her hijab during her call to the Nigerian bar was being childish and disingenious. U cannot insist on wearing religious garb during a secular ceremony and she is not the first Muslim to be called to the Nigerian bar. Nigeria is a secular state!
For posterity sake, I wish to place it on record that I was not among the governors, who approved the withdrawal of $1bn, almost half of our savings in the Excess Crude Account, which belongs to the three tiers of govt to fight an already defeated Boko Haram.
$1 billion is to be taken from the badly depleted Excess Crude Account to "fight Boko Haram".
This is a lie.
The $1 billion will be used by Buhari and his APC to fight the 2019 presidential election and part of it will be shared between party leaders and the cabal.
