Thank God. I am raised to be objective and fair to all
and sundry. To me, this Emeka Okeke that
confessed to the murder of Colonel Inusa is just
another criminal who could have come from any
religion or tribe in this country.
However, just assume that it is the other way round : A criminal Inusa killing a Colonel Okeke. The press
would have been agog with the latest "assault on an
Igbo man through an orchestrated plan by the
overbearing North". The Ohanaeze Ndigbo would
have called a press conference to condemn the
"calculated genocide". All the bogey human rights outfits would have been struggling to outdo each
other in condemning the heinous crime. The Biafran
agitators would have issued a press release, which
the press would circulate with glee. The Governor of
Inusa's state would be so cowed and intimidated that
he would issue an official apology to the Government and people of Ebonyi state for something which the
Government and people of Kano State are neither
responsible nor disposed to.
Okeke 's mother would have suddenly become an
expert in Northern Affairs and would tell the press
how Northerners are assigned to kill any Igbo military man for a reward.
The brouhaha would have dragged on and on. The
voice of the sizeable number of right thinking
Southerners who see things the way they are would
have been drowned by those of the wailing wailers.
God bless the objective minded.
