| Shocker! I am afraid Nnamdi Kanu was right all along. I withdrew all my wrong words against him - Igbonekwu Ogazomiroh eats humble pie |
One of the ardent critics Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has made an open and unreserved apology to him for all the wrong words he uttered against him. "I hereby summon the courage to say, I take back every word I had uttered against him [Nnamdi Kanu] in my many comments and analysis of his forays in freedom fighting," Igbonekwu Ogazimorah a former Commissioner of Information and Tourism of Enugu State under Chimaraoke Nnamani stated. In an article, "God! Let Nnamdi Kanu be wrong!" he posted on his facebook wall, Igbonekwu revealed how the brutal beheading of Bridget Agbaheme joggled him back to his senses to start reappraising all Nnamdi has said, which he had criticised him for.
Read the full article below.
Seeing what is online as the headless trunk of the stripped, hacked to death and eventually beheaded Bridget, I have to question my power of perception. I have come to wonder if after all, Nnamdi Kanu had been right all along.
"The hatred in their souls for my people is legendary. Mindless bloodletting is in their DNA" Watch the video Hausa-Fulani oligarchs don't want you to see
He called Nigeria a Zoo, and I personally objected.
He called the ruling elites animals in the Zoo, and I again objected,
even clearly revealing opposition and distaste for his preachment.
For me, too bad that Bridget, a struggling wife, mother of kids and
contributor to the wellbeing of her family and kindred has been hacked
to death, on the judgment of miscreants in service of overlords.
But
every person will die, sooner or later.
But it is worse that our
President deliberately, knowingly, stepped in to impede investigation
and justice. His statement, peaking in the admonition that "...we learn
to respect other people's faith...blah...blah...blah" is the most
disturbing, being insensitive, precipitate and arrogant.
Is it the
real shape of things to come? Have we been deceived all along? Could
Ibrahim Babangida have been right in his summation that Buhari had not
the right orientation to rule Nigeria as a State of many colouration and
sentiments?
While I am yet to state that I think Nnamdi Kanu had
been right all along, I hereby summon the courage to say, I take back
every word I had uttered against him in my many comments and analysis of
his forays in freedom fighting.
What is happening today cannot be said to be mere accidents:
1. Herdsmen slaughter our people, aged, women, young and sick on the beds at night (typical way of cowards).
2. Cattle sellers just killed one in Niger State.
3. Soldiers in Onitsha butchered at least 30 just last week, some were
said to have been dragged down from their hospital beds and murdered in
cold blood.
4. Now, it is a hapless market woman, eking a living in a local kasua, in Kano!
5. Prior to this, there was Gideon Akaluka was killed in like manner
and his head spiked and used to march the open streets of Kano.
6.
Over a hundred have been killed in Anambra State by soldiers claiming
they were fighting IPOB and MASSOB, two groups that openly declared
non-armed struggle for secession.
7. The usual taunting has
followed. I read one just a while ago: "are there no Hausa in the South
East?" One poster posed, and added. "Let your people touch them and be
sure no single Igbo man will leave Kano alive".
Back to my history
books, I vividly remember the reported statement of one of the delegates
to the Adhoc Constitutional Conference in Lagos, in 1966. "Ibos are
still complaining because they have not been taught a lesson." What
followed was the larger pogrom of September/October that year.
Remember, then, the Igbo who managed to escape the pogrom of July 1966
were pacified by Ojukwu to return to the North on assurances of Gowon
that there was not going to be any further attack on them. What befell
them in September/October/November same year was unimaginable.
The real genocide!
Ndigbo, Think Home!
These are indeed troubled times.
