Igbo 2023 Presidency
Let me be clear: the Igbo are the makers of modern Nigeria. Let no one quibble about this. But the Igbo project of nation-building stalled in 1966 when the republic was overthrown, and a violent civil war levied against the Eastern Region, where the Igbo were dominant.
The massacre of mostly the Igbo, including the Western Igbo across Nigeria leading to that war however made it very clear that the Nigerian civil war was not a war simply against the Eastern region; it was a war mostly against the ethnic Igbo, whose insurgent rise in the new nation constituted a great challenge, and a source of great fear to their neighbors and adversaries for power in the contested space called modern Nigeria.

Okowa, Power and Agbor
By NORBERT CHIAZOR
Agbor an old town that lays straddled on the northern fringes of Delta state is on the cusp of urbanization.
Good fortune is rapidly affecting Agbor, the most famous Ika – a speaking suburb with iconic images of yesteryears. I witnessed the story of the child king, born world youngest monarch in Agbor, the land of famous Mary Mount College, Olikeze glory, Oscar motors, NITEL and Orogodo River which divides part of the city into two like the River Liffey I once saw in Dublin, Ireland.
I saw female motorcycle riders, first time in Agbor in the 80s, women cruising on small but elegant “ ladies bikes “, This enchanting spectacle vividly recalls in frozen memory “Agbor Dancer” the powerful poem by the legendary JP Clark.
