 Are the Igbos cursed or are we the architects of our own problems?—-Ifeanyi Ejiofor


A human rights lawyer and lead counsel for the Indigenous People of Biafra, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has described the challenges facing the South-East region in Nigeria as largely self-inflicted.


Ejiofor lamented that the Igbo are victims of systemic conspiracies, both external and internal, but more importantly, victims of their own disunity and self-inflicted wounds, and internal betrayal, adding that the persistent exclusion and political setbacks experienced by the region cannot succeed without the complicity of certain Igbo individuals.


In the statement he issued on Tuesday titled, ‘Are Igbos cursed or the architects of their own predicament? – A call for self-reflection, renaissance, and redefinition of Igbo destiny’, Ejiofor argued that the systematic marginalisation of the Igbo in Nigeria’s political landscape has often been enabled by internal disunity, self-serving elites, and shortsighted leadership.


He lamented that, sadly, it is a painful reality that no significant prejudice, sabotage, or orchestrated exclusion against the Igbo nation in Nigeria’s political chessboard succeeds without the complicity or treachery of fellow Igbos.
