It was with great amazement and pity that I read
through your article The Bitter Truth About The
Igbo, By Femi
Fani-Kayode where you poured out your
frustration, chagrin and peeve on the Igbo state,
and as a youth of Nigerian descent who has
followed your arguments overtime, I couldn't help
but imagine how frustrated you have become.
Reading through the paragraph where you tried
to analyze the events prelude to the 30months
fracas that tried to bifurcate the Nation State and
how ur premised it, I couldn't think more of you
than an anti Igbo who has sought ways to abuse
a haunted igbo nation. The events of the 60's
happened in many African country whose
independence way acquired 4rm the western
world and was a necessary price to pay for the
country to grow. Antagonizing the igbo state on
this base shows how mundane and obscure
backward and dark your mind is and as a human
right activist you claim you are, you failed
woefully.
Having not set out to argue with you over who is
the most successful in Nigeria, I wish to ask you
sir, who kept this country in a state of poverty
and decay after 8yrs of civil rule, I think u know
the answer so well. Right from the days of
colonization, westerners has never been for once
committed to nation building and I am sure you
are familiar with this quote from fredrick luggard:
“Lagos has for 20 years opposed every
Governor and has formented strife and
bloodshed in the hinterland…, I have spent
the best part of my life in Africa; my aim has
been the betterment of the natives for whom I
have been ready to give my life. But after
some 29 years, and after nearly 12 years as
Governor here, I am free to say that the
people of Lagos and indeed the westerners
are the lowest, the most seditious and
disloyal, the most purely prompted by self-
seeking money motives of any people I have
met.”
-Lord Lugard 1916.
Reading you say that it was the yoruba nation
that welcomed the igbos back after the war, I
begin to wonder if u decided to make a fool Of
yourself by writing or you set out to draw
attention to yourself because it was your yoruba
brother that posited that every igbo man be given
£20 no matter how many millions he has in the
pre war bank all in the bid to frustrate the igbo
man.
Mr Femi sir, I wonder which Nigeria tribe can
survive under the type of antagonism the Igbos
have faced and to think it comes from you, you
have lost a great deal of respect.
I think you should remember a legal adage that
says that thoughts should come b4 action.
