Unlocking Nigeria's Potential: The Urgent Need for Igbo Inclusion.  As Nigeria grapples with numerous challenges, Gowon reportedly sought Igbo's attention to bring Nigeria back to limelight again, that Nigeria might go into extinction if Igbo's continue to keep silent in the face of current hardship.  It's clear that collective action and diverse perspectives are crucial for progress.

  A GAIN THAT IS LOST: A CALL FOR PRAYERS FOR IGBOS . Introduction The Igbo people have faced decades of discrimination, marginalization, and oppression since after the civil war in Nigeria. Despite our significant contributions to the country's growth and development, we have been met with violence, destruction of property, betrayal and outright denials. Our situation has defied solution.
