The Legitimate Role of the Customary Government
Umu Mazi, Ndi Biafra:
I am of the impression that most of us may have heard or read about the "Leri Arms Conflict" between the Obosi and Onitsha Citizens. Actually, this conflict has a long standing history and is parallel to the Jewish and Arabs Conflict of the Middle East. I became aware of this conflict in 1959 when I was playing with my child hood Friends, John and Charles Iwenofu. I recall the Port Harcourt General Hospital and Braitewaite Hospital were completely filled up with the casualties of this conflict. Also, I recall that Dr. Iwenofu, the first Ibo Surgeon of Eastern Nigeria was actively engaged in caring for the Wounded. This is all I know of this conflict besides that not too long Miss Cordelia Iwenofu of East London contested for the Miss World Beauty Pageant. From my meager background of Conflict Resolution Management, I would suggest that Dr. Ikedife, Dr. Ekwueme, and Professor Nwabueze should form a Task Force to study this conflict, using the instrument of the Customary Government and design an ever lasting solution.
