BUHARI — THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO NIGERIA?

Yes! He might as well be.

It took the second coming of Muhammadu Buhari to reveal the true state of Nigeria - a country too divided, too polarised & too different that it will never become a nation

A THREAD Hitherto, the Fulani elites had hidden under a veneer of unity & cooperation, constantly deploying soft power, veiled threats & violent outbursts against other Nigerians in order to maintain their perch on power and skewed advantage over the resources of Nigeria.

Today as we celebrate #BiafraHeroesDay2020, we give honour to whom honour is due.

We say thank you & God bless you to all individuals and groups who contributed in one way or another in making 30th May of every year the date for #BiafraRemembranceDay. @MaziNnamdiKanu & #IPOB popularised & energized #BiafraHeroesDay.

The organisation that first proposed #BiafraHeroesDay from the earliest available references I could find is a group known as the BIAFRA FOUNDATION based in the USA in the year 2002.

BACKSTABBING GAMBARI

I know him quite well.
I was the one who in 1981 brought him to the UN at his request as a member of the Nigerian delegation.

He was then a senior lecturer at the ABU. In fact, the late Prof Audu, who was then Foreign Minister actually advised me against inviting him to the UN. But he had strong academic credentials which impressed me.

DISAPPOINTED!

I just noticed that I've been blocked by @AbdulMahmud01.

This makes me totally disappointed & sorry.

Sorry for an accomplished legal mind & poet, the one that styles himself as the Great Oracle. Back in 2015 when I came on Twitter Mr Abdul Mahmoud was one of the compasses I used to navigate my way in these streets.

Then, he was still using his old handle which was probably suspended because, well this is twitter.

When he created @AbdulMahmud01, it was a joyous welcome.

IGBO LEADERSHIP

At this point, I need to address the issue of the often seriously misunderstood topic of Igbo Leadership.

This is triggered by the disrespectful & condescending tweet by @AbdulMahmud01 that the Igbo have traders but not leaders.

#IgboLeadership

A THREAD I'll forgive @AbdulMahmud01 with whom I often interact on Twitter & who I have tremendous respect for his advocacy for human & civil rights in Nigeria.

IGBO & IGBO DENIERS

Igbo Bụ Igbo (Igbo is Igbo) But We Have Igbo Deniers

The grandfather & one of the earliest known #IgboDeniers is the acclaimed Ikwerre Writer from Aluu – Elechi Amadi (He schooled in Yoruba land & was a Nigerian soldier during the war). He went to the Oputa Panel in 2004 & told the whole world that Ikwerre is not Igbo.

Later day Igbo Denying apostles include a certain Henry Okelue (@4eyedmonk) who is only known on Twitter where he claims that Anioma or Delta Igbo are not Igbo.
