Good for him, good for Nigeria. Something like this a classic case of how we should b viewing individuals, he's igbo, but the outside world won't know him as igbo but rather, a Nigerian thus bringing pride to the nation as a whole. Guess, its high time we stop celebrating pettiness and focus on real issues. Am not igbo, but it seems the ibo's have a fine way of written and using words hence people from that extraction always making wave even outside nija in the area of literature, kudos to them for that. i hate nobody, i am firstly an offa man, then yoruba man, then nigerian and then a peace loving world citizen. #peaceout 53 Likes 4 Shares |
