The alluring of Isa Pantami’s porridge and the
treachery of Femi Fani Kayode has exposed the monumental naivety and
tactlessness of IPOB and I have no apologies about my views.
In the wake of the avoidable arrest of the leader of
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya, and the subsequent
extraordinary rendition legal jargons that has little place in international
relations, IPOB High Command listed some alleged Igbo traitors and changed the
list about five times.
Originally Kenya based Iyke
Mbaise,Senator Ifeanyi Ubah and Oil Magnate Emeka Offor was in the
list of those who betrayed Nnamdi Kanu. Later the list included Ex-CBN Governor
Charles Soludo, Governors Nyemson Wike(Rivers ), Hope Uzodimma(Imo )and
Willie Obiano (Anambra ) were added. Minister of Labour Chris Ngige and
Anglican Archbishop of Enugu Emmanuel Chukwuma made the list. This list was
changed five times with names being added and deleted after proper settlement,
yet the Traitor-in -Chief by name Femi Fani Kayode did not make the list until
the man jumped ship and joined Buhari’s men in Aso Rock. This is foolishness of
the highest order.
This is the third time in my writing career that I am
ascribing foolishness to activities of my Igbo people. The first was during the
419 flag off of Second Niger Bridge by former President Jonathan in a piece titled ‘Fraudulent Construction Of 2nd Niger Bridge –
Another 419 On The Igbo Nation’ and a follow up titled ‘Auctioning Of 419 Second Niger Bridge And
Jubilation Of Igbo Fools’ which the APC leaders used variously in their
campaigns. In the picece I warned that :
“According to the terms of this fraudulent business, the project is a Design, Finance, Build , Operate and Transfer (DFBOT) model to cost N117 Billion with the Federal Government contributing a paltry N30 billion naira while the consortium will raise the rest of the funds and thereafter hold the Ibo People to ransom by collecting a 25 year toll tax for the rest of the funds offshore”
