Abstract

The average Igbo man has wonderful faith in his capability to survive any form of hardship or situation, irrespective of his place of abode and the hostility. But the question is; how long will the Igbo man persevere since 1970 to date? Nwobodo (2016) lamented that the fate of Igbo nation since the end of the unfortunate Nigerian-Biafra civil war in 1970 has been that of a sojourner on a voyage, mission, and quest for political and economic survival. The after effects of the war which depleted Ndi Igbo politically, economically, psychologically and humanly are still conspicuously visible for even the blind to see in the country. The gross infrastructural dilapidation of Igbo nation as a result of the civil war and deliberate economic strangulation of the people via anti-Igbo economic policies initiated by then Gen. Yakubu Gowon-led Federal government, forced surviving Igbos into massive exodus from Igbo land to look for greener pasture.
