The danger in Nnamdi Kanu’s antics vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
FOR Ndigbo, August, a month of homecoming and celebrations, is special. They love going back to their ancestral homes across the Great River, called Niger, to celebrate the new yam festival . The magnificence of the ceremonies was aptly captured by the inimitable raconteur, Chinua Achebe, in his 1958 classic, Things Fall Apart, thus: “The pounded yam dish placed in front of the partakers of the festival was as big as a mountain.
Last year, I celebrated the new yam festival with the Igbo community in Nottingham, a city in central England’s Midlands region, known for its hilltop castle museum and art gallery. The pomp and pageantry were mind-blowing. Dignitaries from Nigeria graced the occasion.
So, if this feeling is catholic, what remains is how best to tackle the matter given the disposition of those who have made it a state policy to hold an entire race down. And it goes without saying that there are bound to be varied ideas as to how best to solve the problem. That shouldn’t be an issue. Labelling anyone who holds a contrary opinion enemy of the people who must be exterminated is evil. That, unfortunately, is the crux of the matter.
