It is so sad that the oldman has to repeat himself. For the doubting Thomases, it is clearly not all about the new Biafra. General Alani Akinrinade is not part of that movement. He is neither supporting anybody nor doing anyone any favours by holding articulating and finally disseminating views that are supposedly heretical in the rarefied heights occupied by Nigeria's civil war heroes. Obviously this was not an easy decision to arrive at. Perhaps Gen Akinrinade has come to that point where he can no longer open the gate of his own house, even if he wanted to. A point arrives on a man's life when he can no longer ensure his own safety and security. Fortunately this is when most people will focus solely on their loved ones. Akinrinade has seen the kind of nation that he is about to leave for his grandchildren. It doesn't look good at all. What a pity. What a sad legacy to leave behind as he, like all of us slightly younger, leave this earthly realm.
I hereby recommend the new controversial book by Dr(?) Jimanze Ego-Alowes titled: HOW THE YORUBA LOST THE NIGERIA-BIAFRA WAR. I am yet to lay hands on my own copy, but going by the reviews that I've read, it promises to be thrilling. This "isa-asisa" by a fading generation is turning out to be something else. Any remaining doubts and reticence has been brutally erased by the cyclone that is Buhari
