The former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has recently revealed in an autobiography, that the Igbos had no say in the amalgamation which eventually gave birth to Nigeria.
Orji Uzor Kalu who made this revelation in his newly released autobiography ‘My Life’, traced the “plight of the Igbos” to the early 19th century when the British first explored the Lower Niger.

According to the politician, the Igbos did not have a say as to whether they desired to be a part of such contraption or not, affirmed that they enjoyed a brief sunshine in Nigeria in the decade before and a few years after independence.
He said in the book;
“In January 1914, Lord Fredrick Lugard completed the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates into Colonial Nigeria and became its first Governor-General.
“The Igbos did not have a say as to whether they desired to be a part of such a contraption or not. However, the clouds lifted so briefly and the Igbo enjoyed brief sunshine in Nigeria in the decade before and a few years after independence.
“Having embraced Christianity and western education with enthusiasm, they quickly rose to hold sway in the federal civil service, military, academia, commerce and industry.
“The ‘Jews’ of West Africa were on the march, toiling, sweating and swinging upwards, to the envy and hatred of their compatriots.”
Orji Uzor added;
“I am not in politics because I want to make money from it. If that was the case, I would have remained with President (Olusegun) Obasanjo throughout our time in office because he controlled all the money.
“But I needed honour for my people. He refused to honour and respect my people; he failed to give them a sense of belonging. He carried on as if he was still at war with the Igbo nation, hence we disagreed.”
