Obi Nwakanma wrote the following and I concur 100%:
This mythology about Fulani power is the greatest hoax in the world! The Fulani do not have half the resource and reach of the Igbo. The North is not as organized and as united as we have often been made to think. In any case, it is not up to the Fulani to determine the fate in Nigeria of an organized Igbo interest. We too can deploy hard power if it comes to it without fear. The Igbo often forget that we are the only ethnic group in Nigeria to have gought a tough war against the rest of Nigeria and the Igbo still command a certain kind of mystique in the Nigerian imagination. We must use it. Nigeria is an open field and my analysis is that the Igbo are in a very strong position today to call in old debts and benefit from the kind of alliances they are capable of building in Nigeria. The Igbo must strategize for power as others do. If they keep ceding their space, they will remain inconsequential. Ndi Igbo , the only thing between us and the leadership of Nigeria is our willingness or not to organize, put structures on the ground, mobilize and deploy our full steam capacity! Should the Igbo be afraid of the Fulani? A very small ethnic group with less than the population of just the Igbo from Anambra state? Heck no!
Yes we own Nigeria and cannot leave it for any stranger from Futa Jallon!
We do not believe we need any physical Biafra but Biafra of the mind. We must assert ourselves in Nigeria. Biafra, the type LNC is advocating for me is apt only as a last time if shift come to shove.
