Biafra technology had
solution to Nigeria’s problems –Tsav
Elder statesman and former Commissioner of Police
in Lagos State, Abubakar Tsav, has said that Nigeria would have been among
developed nations if it had tapped the inventions of Biafra after the civil
war.
According to him, failure to accept the
Biafran technology after the war and the successive corrupt leadership Nigeria
has had over the years have been responsible for the country’s poor development
indices.
In an interview with Sun newspaper, Tsav
said: “I only pray that people who are coming now are those who have the
interest of the people at heart and are God-fearing; they are not just there to
make money, but are there to serve the nation.
“Since the end of the civil war, we have not
been progressing as a nation because during the civil war for instance, when
the Biafrans were confined to their territory, they had no option than to
device a means of survival and they were able to manufacture bombs, mines,
refine petroleum products, and other technological feats.
“If we had accepted them, by the time the war
was over, by now we would have gone very far beyond where we are today; we
would have been technologically advanced.
“We never attained that because we are not
united, we are corrupt and selfish. If we had tapped the ingenuity of the
Biafrans, those inventions, etc, Nigeria would have been far ahead than what we
are today, but unfortunately, corruption came in because everybody wanted to
make money for himself; that is why we are in this sorry state now.
“Through corruption, people are making so
much money that they don’t know the number of houses they have, and that is why
we are still struggling that we cannot produce ordinary toothpick in this
country; we cannot produce handkerchief in this country. All these things are
imported from different countries of the world. It is a big shame indeed.”
