South East in the trenches (2)
On
By Ochereome Nnanna
Fifty one years after the end of the Biafra-Nigeria war, the Igbo nation is being forced to return to the trenches. Igbo people are not warlike, culturally or otherwise. If they were, there would have been empires in the history of the East. Apart from the great ancient Bini Empire, the people of the South East and South-South are historically and culturally republican, not imperialistic.
They are peace-loving. War is not a central part of their cosmology, ordinarily. They believe in egbe bere, ugo bere (may the kite perch, may the eagle perch: live and let live). No one should deprive the other. They also believe in the dictum: O biara nke onye abiagbula ya. Mgbe O ga ala, mkpumkpu apula ya na-azu(A visitor should not bring disaster to his host. And when he is leaving, may he not go with a hunchback). Let there be peace between visitor and host.
