I read with a lot of amusement the piece of clap-trap circulated through the Nigerian blogosphere last week titled 'The Bitter truth about the Igbo" authored by Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode.
.
I thought for a minute: but they said the guy went to Cambridge! Then again, take a scallywag to Cambridge, he merely becomes a Cambridge-trained scallywag.
.
There were many things Kings College Lagos and Cambridge University could have taught, and might have failed to teach Mr. Fani kayode.
.
One of such things is felicity with truth. He does write about "bitter truths" and about the "Igbo" and his submissions were in fact more bitter than true about the Igbo. For one, Femi Fani-Kayode who claims to be "half-Lagosian" has not quite explained what that "half" means after the genomic mathematics that also locates and divides the Fani-Kayodes of Ife in another instance into "part Fulani" in the general scheme of things in Nigeria. I will not dwell on Fani-Kayode's identity politics. I'm yet to understand it.
There are really some things like Bitter Truths so I want to agree with this one. It's really a good one I must say. Nyc!
