It beats my imagination how young and educated South Easterners, indeed Ndigbo, prefer to raise the ante of demand for Biafra now before they ask questions on the fraud of the so called upgrade of Akanu Ibiam International Airport.

This job was patented to an Igbo, high up in the GEJ government, but rather than give the Igbo what they craved most, and which late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had approved and worked out its implementation with SE NASS (South East National Assembly) men and women, this big shot did nothing other than changing the structure of the building. Today, the Halls, departure and arrival, are like old German crematorium. They are as hot as hell.

Though I do not yet have the details, I was reliably informed that nothing other than basics of an airport – indeed as it was – was put in place.

How many of these agitators know what is TETFund? It is Tertiary Education Trust Fund. This super governmental agency is changing the face of structures and equipment in various institutions of higher learning, including federal, state universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, colleges of agriculture, etc, across the country. Please spare some minutes to ask how these are going in the South East.

What really upsets is that it is this same ex-big shots who are reportedly, by indirect manipulation, getting the youth come out and die in the name of Biafra – a thing they do not actually believe in.President Muhammadu Buhari is therefore called upon to stop ordering soldiers to kill innocent, unemployed and hungry youths, who are prompted by the hopelessness of their conditions to join in what they do not understand. He should either come open on what he knows is the truth (and which some of know very well) or offer political appointments to these fellows so that we can have some peace

Too bad! Where a story building is designed, approved and funded, some had been scaled down to bungalows. Where the building area is mapped as covering 100 square metres, many had been scaled narrower to make away with cash for come big wigs in government.

Enough just has to be enough!
