Nobody should get me started here. Two degenerately incompetent Fulani septuagenarians are fighting to be president of Nigeria and a very brilliant young Igbo man who just turned 48 is being celebrated as star trial witness. What sort of weird nonsense is that?
Per Prof. Patrick Lumumba, people who are politically and intellectually bankrupt normally seek refuge in ethnicity and religion as their major fact of mobilization. The recent ethnoreligious politics over an image that represents the Fulani tribe on the new Nigerian Passport championed by “Apostle” Suleman, Nnamdi Kanu and Femi Fani-Kayode was sinister.

The tragedy of Trump’s America is the sheer banality of evil. One man is so evil that he makes evil sexy, and taboos tolerable. Every good thing Donald Trump touches dies…
Tinubu wants to have his cake and eat it, but this cannot wash. The problem of murderous Fulani herdsmen has reached crisis proportions in the Southwest.

Permit me to begin by saying that my heart goes out to Mr. Timi Dakolo, a very pleasant and respectful young man who I first met at President Goodluck Jonathan’s house two years ago.

Buhari can strike that balance between tribal nepotism and national interest by reversing the unethical Fulani cattle business model. He must use the opportunity of forgivable tribal nepotism to do something for his…
Max Lucado’s book, You’ll Get Through This, digs deep into what it means to go through hard times and struggles and still come out triumphant. This book, centered on Joseph, from the Old Testament Bible, is meant for anyone or group that felt stuck or discouraged because of circumstance. There is no doubt that in Nigeria, most Igbos are discouraged and stuck, politically.
I have just read your interesting piece on the above referenced subject. My initial reaction is that you have dealt with a deep subject, which many are concerned with, but lack the courage to confront frontally as you did.
