And Mamman Vatsa, what did he write against the pogrom and genocide of the war of 1966-70.

Achebe and Soyinka interceded for him with IBB, but where is it recorded in history that Vatsa pleaded for Soyinka when the latter was jailed for speaking and acting out against the genocide called Nigerian civil war, or where is it recorded that he interceded on behalf of Achebe and his people when they were bombed and straffed mercilessly against Geneva's convention charter that protects the rights of non-combatants?

Was Vatsa dealt an unjust blow, maybe, but what is with this crying when one of the riders ends up in the belly of the tiger.

Karma has never been known to cut clean, she at times craves the perverted pleasure of spiting her victims same way they traded in the blood of others.

I am sorry but am still unable to grasp the essence of your response.
