Why Igbo Marginalisation May Lead To NIgeria’s Extinction -Singer Paul Play

Paul Play Dairo, a veteran Nigerian singer has taken to his Instagram page to talk about how the marginalisation of the Igbos in Nigeria may lead to the country’s extinction.

In his post he wrote, “I love Nigeria. I’ve lived in it most of my life. My fear is if the marginalisation of Igbos continues, we may not have this country in some years to come.”

The Angel of my Life crooner also stated that his career enjoyed more patronage in the East, South and North, more than it did in the West where he came from.

He also added that he is Yoruba, but loves all NIgerians no matter the tribe.

His full post read, “My career enjoyed more patronage in the East, South and North, more than in the West where I am from. I am grateful for the opportunities all Nigerians gave me to have a shot at stardom and popularity.

I don’t take that for granted. In fact, I remain grateful for the rest of my life.

However, truth must be told without fear or favour, without care about whose ox is gored. I know some will come out and say this should not be on the basis of tribe. Yes, but I analyse issues by putting myself in the shoes of those who feel cheated.”

He noted that Nigerians who do not believe that the Igbos deserve a shot at leadership are selfish and unreasonable.

”Whoever calls himself a Nigerian and feels the Igbos do not deserve a shot is just being selfish and unreasonable. The signs are being written on the wall but we keep thinking the terror now growing in the East will die down or will go away. Hmmm. I hope I’m wrong because this peace won’t be for long.

I come in peace. I believe in equal rights and justice for all. GOD BLESS NIGERIA. Sorry GOD HAS ALREADY BLESSED NIGERIA. It’s up to me and you not to ‘UNBLESS’ IT. Shalom.”
