By the way, jàmbá is a synonym for evil in Yoruba.
Taking sides with Ejikeme, a few Yoruba, however, called for caution in handling the issue, saying JAMB needed to do some clarifications. Reacting on Facebook, a former colleague, Taiwo Adisa, and a former classmate at the University of Lagos, Abayomi Francis, specifically sensed that JAMB had something to hide.
While ethnic chauvinists made a mountain out of a molehill, swearing and sweating, deepening the trenches of hate and suspicion, the police, Department of State Services, and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission snored, completely oblivious of their constitutional duties.
I recall that when motor parks leader and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, threatened the Igbo ahead of the presidential election, the police said they couldn’t take action because the case was not reported. It’s easy to ask the common rhetorical question, “Who did this to us,” but all this puffing and huffing are the whirlwind we are bound to reap after Buhari kept silent when Fulani herdsmen killed and plundered for eight years, predominantly appointed his kinsmen to key positions, and reportedly told the Word Bank President, Jim Yong King, to focus development in the North.
