The most noticeable federal presence in South East Nigeria is Army Check Points and Police Road blocks on federal roads that looks like high way to the grave. The Nigerian government needs to take practical actions to reassure the people of the zone that they are not being treated as second class citizens because of the #Biafra secessionist war that ended in 1970. The root causes of the present day agitation for Biafra is anchored on the lack of infrastructural developments across the East and the complete marginalization of people from the zone in federal appointments by the APC led federal government, good example is the recent composition of the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC, that saw the appointment of 10 directors from President Buhari's Northern Region and non from the South East Region, other examples abound. #Nigeria +Nigeria We Serve +BBC News +BBC Africa +VOA News +CCTV Africa +CNN International +ABC News +AFP news
