Five Cities Associated With Igbo Land Feature in Global Top 1,000

I’m excited that five cities associated with Igbo land—Onitsha, Owerri, Enugu, Aba and Port Harcourt—were included in a global ranking of 1,000 cities. The ranking considered factors such as economic strength, human capital, quality of life and environmental conditions. It reminds me of the potential of Ala Igbo and the resilience of our people. After the Nigerian Civil War brought enormous loss and years of rebuilding, Ndigbo continued to work, rebuild and make their mark. I sometimes wonder what our people might have achieved if Biafra had survived. What do you think? Are you proud to be Igbo? Ala Igbo amaka; Ala Igbo ga-adị, Ala Igbo ga-aga n’ihu. Chukwu gozie Ala Igbo.
