Fani-Kayode says the Igbo will successfully secede, if..

Femi Fani-Kayode is many things to many people, but today- he’s acting as champion and defender of the Igbo.

He has criticised the Convener of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, for making some insensitive comments about the Igbo.

Mohammed was quoted to have said:

“If it is about Buhari making the appointments based on merit, I have no problems with it. I don’t believe Buhari or Nigeria owes any Igbo anything. I don’t care what Ezeife says; if they had seceded, there would have been no Nigeria today. As people who acted outside the interest of Nigeria as a country, to expect compensation is a very odd logic.

“If the Igbo don’t like it, they can attempt secession again. If they do, they must be prepared to live with the consequences. Nobody owes them anything and nobody is out to compensate them for anything.”

Even though it’s near-herculean to see eye-to-eye with Fani-Kayode in most cases, he’s probably right to muster a defence, but then as always, his imagination went wild.

Butcher 100,000 Igbo civilians? Easy, Olukayode.

In response to Mohammed’s outrageous comments, Fani-Kayode, told Vanguard Newspapers that;

“Given the immense suffering that the igbo were subjected to both before, during and after the civil war this is one of most insensitive, cruel and puerile comments that I have heard in recent times.

“I daresay that if Junaid Mohammed’s Nigeria ever butchers over 100,000 innocent igbo civilians again, as they did in the north in 1966 just before the civil war, there will indeed be another attempt to secede, but this time it will not only be successful, but they will also take many others with them.

“Rather than boast and beat our chests, we must learn from our history and we must never repeat its mistakes.”
