  • Tourism Readiness, Investment Promotion, Economic Growth and Development in South East Nigeria: an Expose and Proposal
    Tourism Readiness, Investment Promotion, Economic Growth and Development in South East Nigeria: An Expose and Proposal By Chukwuemeka U. Okoye Department of Agricultural Economic University of Nigeria, Nsukka Introduction Up until 1966, the economy of then Eastern Nigeria was one of the fastest growing in the world, finding peers among Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil, etc. By then, Eastern Nigeria dominated both commerce and the Federal bureaucracy in Nigeria. Today, South East Nigeria is a much smaller enclave, encompassing a geographical space made up of five states (Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi) and exclusively inhabited by the Igbo, relative to the former Eastern Nigeria, which included the Efik, Ibibio, and Ijaw of Cross River, Rivers, and Bayelsa states. Economic growth in the South East has contracted to the extent that it is now attributed with the least aggregate Gross State Product in Nigeria (of N754.40bn). Again, ranking of Nigerian states by ease of doing business has seen the South East States at the bottom of the ladder. The concerns about lack of investments, which largely inform the regular expression of concern by individuals, group and institutions in the zone (Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, South East Economic Summit Group, and South East Nigeria Economic Commission) include the poor state of employment, low industrial development, insecurity, dearth of critical infrastructure among others. Reasons for this are economic, social, political and otherwise, but it does appear, as indeed many may know, that we should look more closely at what made Eastern Nigeria, particularly the Igbo Nation of the present South East Zone so vibrant before 1966, and what happened to it during and after the Civil War of 1966-1970.

  • 126 the Travails of the Igbo Ethnic Group in Nigeria
    126 THE TRAVAILS OF THE IGBO ETHNIC GROUP IN NIGERIA AND THE INDISPENSABILITY OF THE TRADITIONAL SOCIO-CULTURAL PRACTICES IN THE RESTORATION OF THE MUCH-NEEDED UNITY Chidi Mike Amaechi Department of History and International Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka Enugu State, Nigeria. Abstract The Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria has been groaning under the colossal weight of injustice, criminal neglect and institutional marginalization especially since the end of the Nigerian Civil War. This is more apparent in the composition of the military, political appointments, provision of social amenities and infrastructure, and choice of official policies. The psychological effect is even more traumatizing and debilitating. In a state of confusion, despair, and hopelessness, the average Igbo person is politically disoriented and manipulated and the age-long flaunted culture of ‘unity of purpose’ has been abandoned together with the traditional socio-cultural practices that anchored the people’s high moral standards and unsullied sense of dignity. Moreover, at the detriment of Igbo group interest, the political elite now revel in selfish individualism as a result of inferiority complex and have not been able to, early enough, analyze situations and take a firm stand on issues, as each situation demands. In support of the view that the marginalization of the Igbo stems largely from internal disunity, and in addition to other views on the solution to this problem of Igbo disunity, it is the position of this paper that the revival of those traditional socio-political cum cultural institutions and values which sustained the bonds of Igbo unity in the face of the seemingly acephalous and segmented nature of the people, would go a long way in restoring this much-needed unity.

  • The Current Treatment of the Biafran Minority by the Nigerian State
    Information on the following: The current treatment of the Biafran minority by the Nigerian State. Specifically, attitude of the ruling Nigerian Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) towards Biafrans/MASSOB. If possible, details of exact number of people in Biafra detained by the Nigerian Authorities during 2005. In a section titled Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) (section 3.1.16) a Danish Immigration Service report refers to information provided by a Nigerian university professor as follows: Professor Utomi explained that there has been significant level of resentment in Igbo society about the treatment of Igbo people since the civil war. There was a philosophy of an Igbo renaissance amongst young Igbo men and women born since the civil war and they have found allies in the Igbo diaspora. This has been exploited by MASSOB. However, MASSOB is very much a fringe group but because of government over-reaction to it, it has gained support. The government is strongly opposed to MASSOB and several members and supporters have been arrested and detained for months even though MASSOB insists that it is a non-violent movement. Professor Utomi explained that the ghost of MASSOB has created concern within the SSS and now and then its forces have over-reacted. (Danish Immigration Service (18 March 2005) Report on human rights issues in Nigeria, p.11) Section 3.1.17 of this report states: It was added by Professor Utomi that the leadership of MASSOB, i.e. those that energise and mobilise support for the movement , are at risk of arrest and detention by the authorities.
