There are several Igbo proverbs and wise sayings that validate this such as: Ojemba enwe ilo , njepu amaka ; ukpana uno adighi aha mmanu . This means that the push factor for Igbo emigration is not just economic – as many people wrongly think.
Four, what is the way forward? Pius Anyim was right about the anger of the Igbo youth. Part of this anger however is caused by the effects of the Civil War propaganda on both sides of the conflict. Propagandas are necessarily embellished truths or outright distortion of facts. For instance, much of the Civil War propaganda on the Biafra side, including some of the negative portraitures of Obafemi Awolowo, were either outright distortions or taken out of their historical contexts.
I will also recommend that the Governors of the region create a new, jointly owned town along the lines of Abuja, with modern facilities and good security structures. This will satisfy the Igbo cultural reflex for the Diaspora and concomitantly attract the elite to turn it into a socio-economic hub that will eventually transform many of the current, unplanned towns in the region into the new town’s satellites.
