On a normal day, we will not publish this misguided statement, but yet we chose to let you read for yourselves and make your own judgement.
This is what Senator Ben Murray-Bruce said yesterday during a debate on the need for National Unity and Peaceful Coexistence in Nigeria held at the National Assembly {Senator}.
"They say the Igbos were marginalized. They fought a war and they lost. Today, they are the most industrious people in the country. They are the richest Nigerians in the country today. They are one of the most educated people in Nigeria today, yet they feel marginalized. If you compare the Ibo man to the other sectors of the society, you would say the Igbos are very privileged because of what they have. Yet, a generation of Igbos say they are marginalized and they want to secede and want a Nation. A young generation of people who have never seen bloodshed, destruction, people being killed, amputated, families being divided, can surely think like that. But what have we done as a Nation to educate them about the destruction of what? Absolutely nothing"he said
According to him, it is important for Nigeria's education system to teach young Nigerians about the ills of war.
