| Re: .Igbo Worldview In The Global Context I think our so called Igbo leaders should first of all salvage the extinction of Igbo language and culture which by no means creeping in fast by no fault of Hausa, Yoruba or any other tribe. The Igbo man is the solution to his own problem. Why chase rats when your house is aflame? Instead of us coming home and work on unity we are busy demostrating how intellectually and financially endowed we are! What is wrong with all these people reading big grammar outside Igboland? With all due respect, I think people like Uche who write in English and present our Igbo problem in Atlanta need psychological evaluation because that will not solve the problem! They are only interested to show off how intelligent and educated they are. I have not seen any impact of such occassions in real life of the Igbo tribe. (Someone please call me to order or correct me if I am talking rubbish).
Once I was invited to represent students in a seminar about hunger and starvation in Nigeria. Guess where the seminar took place? Nicon Nuga Hilton, Abuja! Give me a break! Igbo traders are spending all their money building shops all over Nigeria but Igbo land! They still have the gut to complain about Tinubu government who chase them out of Ladipo for whatever reasons! Tinubu is not the problem, come home and find your problem. What was that about how many presidential candidates from Igbo land expressing interests by writing Ohaneze? The day we stop speaking English in our meetings, bring whatever conventions back home and seriously stop blaming other tribes for our self inflicted problems, that day marks the reinventing of a blessed tribe. We must become Aku ruo ulo and not Oka mma n´ama!
