In further addressing the infantile tattles of the writer, he misfired by describing the Igbos as unfriendly to the eastern minorities that made up the old Eastern region. I admit that a few issues arose at the time and my conclusion is that the minorities could have gotten a better deal. However, I am amazed that this guy could go this far in exposing the political shortcomings of the Yorubas represented by Chief Obafemi Awolowo of blessed memory. While the dominant Igbos elected an Efik/Ibiobio man as the Premier of Eastern region despite its overwhelming majority, the Yoruba occupied all the prime positions in the Western region from Premier to Deputy Premier, Governor, Finance Minister, among others. How do you reconcile this? How many of us still remembers the saying that “the Ooni is here, the Alafin is here, the Western region is complete” notwithstanding the presence of the revered Oba of Benin at a state function?
