Our forefathers must be turning in their graves at the site of those sent to represent the Igbos at the conference. In the olden days as depicted in Things fall apart and other historic books, young able bodied men like Okonkwo and his mates were the ones sent out as emissaries on any matters involving the community with the counsel of elders at home who remain the brain and strategist behind them. The rational is that when the young men are defeated the old men at home will re-strategise, However the case is different now, If these gray haired men fail to achieve the goal they went for it means we are finished. If they did their bit in bringing up the igbo youths, they would not be in abuja at their old age fighting for the youths but they have connived with the enemy all these years to steal from the youths of this country and they now claim by their action that they are the best ones to decide how nigerians will live for the next 100 yeasr mindful of the fact that most of them have barely ten years to go as life expectancy in Nigeria is way below 50 years.
There is no doubt that they have failed us and they have nothing to offer.
Apologies to Sullivan Chime who happens to be the best Governor in Igbo land. The power of what youths can do. Elders advise yourselves if you want Igbo land and this country to move forward. The man died in him that keeps quiet in the face of tyranny.
