Femi Fani-kayode - A Word For Those That Call Me An Igbo Hater

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Former Minister
Those that call me a tribalist and an igbo-hater are simply misguided and ignorant. Perhaps they do not know the meaning of those words or the true import of their meaning. Those that know me well like you can confirm the fact that I am not a racist or a bigot and that I consider such sentiments as being unworthy of a man of class, good breeding and culture. I am however a firm believer in the propagation of truth and I, like you, appreciate the value and importance of history. Sadly many of our igbo brothers and sisters do not believe in that. History for them consists of only one thing-how other Nigerians have always marginalised them and treated them badly.

Lip Service? We’ll Give Achebe Befitting Burial- Obi, Others

The Southeast Governors’ Forum yesterday
said it would give the late renowned writer,
Chinua Achebe, a befitting burial.

It resolved that Achebe should be given a
proper honour because he brought honour
not only to Nigeria but to Africa.

The Forum Chairman and Anambra State
Governor, Peter Obi, addressed reporters
after a meeting in Enugu.

Obi said the Forum had received the report
of the committee set up to resolve the crisis
in the Igbo socio-cultural Organisation,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
