But when the anger finally calmed down (anger at both non-Biafrans and Biafran progeny who forget what it means to be Igbo), I realized that Igbos as a people are more incredibly resilient than I thought. Those were took part in the war, or grew up in and witnessed the horrors are living amongst us - and they are living strong. They are living stronger than ever - as if nothing happened. I have a new-found respect for the older ones amongst us who were able to survive such tragedies and excel whether in academics or business or government. The only problem i have is that our complacent attitude towards what happened in the past may result in us allowing such things to happen again, though, maybe on a smaller scale. In the book, in the beginning, we saw a lot of resentment towards Igbo progress by non-Igbos. The resentment is replaying itself over again in this modern age. Unfortuntately, Igbos have not decided to fight against such resentment - that is nip it in the bud. And happy belated birthday - I'll try and remember next year (for some reason, I have not been able to access your blog till now) my dear i hear you on the feelings post-reading Half a Yellow Sun.

Yea there's the poor among them too, but it doesn't change much. They're handled wit care by the government becoz it's believed they've mo tendencies to start up chaos - and they do. Finally, I'm a Nigerian - cant changeg that - but about being a proud one, hmmm... Black and proud works betta 4 me than narrowing it down to the bitter truth, Nigeria.
