In 1999 I wrote an article of similar title. At the time, Nigeria was witnessing a new milestone, precisely the transfer of power from the military to civilian political leaders. The Igbos were then confronted with challenging political scenarios of which the Igbo political leaders were either unable to synthesize or conveniently ignored and simply decided to play along with the rest of the country. The clear message was that other Nigerians do not like or trust the Igbos enough to allow them to rule Nigeria. Since then a lot of water has gone under the bridge. We are furiously approaching another crossroad, as the much awaited 2015 elections and as widely predicted, Nigeria's potential breakup. Crucial questions some of them new, still exist for the Igbos and their survival or political extinction in the Nigerian polity could not be more desperate.........
