Re: Oceans of Blood and the Words of Inuwa Wada

I am constrained to respond to the article with the title above by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, published in the Vanguard of Sunday, November 8, 2015. Ordinarily I don't join issues with people, but to allow concocted and sensational lies and falsehood, mischievously and deliberately aimed at and capable of rising one section of the country against another, heaped on the nation in the name of truth is to be complacent in the destruction of society; more so given the level of the author's intellect, educational attainment and the high position he held in the country as a minister. They say when evil is done by the wicked, silence of the righteous is complacency and God shall not find the latter guiltless. To this end, a simple deed of drawing attention to the facts of the past to lay bare the lies in the write-up can very well catalyze the removal of the evil therein. This, in itself, I believe, is a huge service to the country.

A cougar confesses: Men of my age don't do It well for me!
2:43:38 PMAbiodun Alade

Ubong, just turned 63 and a grandmother recalled a recent date she had with a man 'her age'. A merry widow in the real sense of the word, she's a fairly successful real estate agent and spent a fortune looking after herself - and the results are spectacular. Against her better judgement, she'd decided to go to the movies with him when he kept raving about a Nollywood film he was involved with. "Shuffling self-consciously in his seat beside me at the cinema, I sensed that this my date, was about to make his first move: said Ubong,"

Sorry, Biafra died over 40 years ago - Igwe Alex Nwokedi
2:36:36 PMAbiodun Alade

General Yakubu Gowon, in one of his published interviews, spoke well when he said he was surprised that people could be talking about Biafra over 40 years after the matter had been resolved. Owelle Rochas Okorocha, a respected governor of the people, of course, has also spoken like a patriotic Nigeria when he counselled that Igbo should stop hating other Nigerians. That comment credited to him gives a good perspective on the Igbo people of this country. Igbo people are loving people but we should talk about what unites us than talking about what divides us.
