OP-UNEDITED | The Sin of Being IGBO in Nigeria – By Favour Afolabi

As always, almost everyone in Nigeria is now an Expert in teaching The IGBO RACE on how they should conduct themselves as Good Nigerians while actually using the opportunity to show their long-held disdain for these people.

All the people that have never been able to speak against killer marauding Fulani Herdsmen for example have suddenly become ‘experienced war veterans’ who preach to Igbos to call Nnamdi KANU to order to avoid another Biafra war as though they have cared a hoot about the sufferings of those dark days in the history of this WORLD (YES, let it sink – As many Igbos were killed then as Hitler killed The Jews during WWII)?

For the Igbos worldwide to even mark a remembrance day for this is almost an insulting taboo to these bloc of super intelligent Nigerians.

And now, this ‘OmoYibo’ Nnamdi has given these folks the perfect opportunity to unleash the much needed salvo on the Igbos – the Igbo people must be blamed for not standing up to vote the right leaders, as though the Yorubas produced a Ghandi in Tibubu and the Hausas, a Mandela in Buhari?

The Igbo governors must be blamed because they did not call Kanu to order – coning from the same people that have seen any culpability of the Northern Governors in Boko Haram.

These same people who have refused to call out Gov Shettima of Borno for his well documented lapses in allowing the kidnap of the Chibok girls.

Is this not just so typical of Nigeria and the Nigerian Nation? Hypocrisy of the most pungent order!

Well, unlike many other Nigerians who have made the habit of hiding their names behind these sort of write-ups, pretending to be patriots, mine is @favourafolabi and I will be very glad to stand in front of the likes of the Ogundamisis, who has spent the last couple of days rushing to label Nnamdi KANU ‘The Igbo Hitler’ – I mean, seriously, this IPOB EPISODE (as unfortunate at it is) has helped to expose so many people in this polity!

Imagine the guy on twitter this afternoon that quickly stereotyped me to be IGBO until I told him my full names are FAVOUR BABATOPE ADIO AFOLABI of Otan Ayegbaju, Osun State to his apparent chagrin!
