FOR THOSE WHO LOVE NDIGBO MORE THAN THEY LOVE THEMSELVES. . BACK OFF!

I AM QUITE DEPRESSED that some of my "friends" on the social media have such a limited scope of the many different possible outcomes of the current political turmoil that Nigeria is experiencing. Some of them, knee-jerk opponents of the #Biafran Project or even ordinary #Restructuring, cannot visualize a peaceful modus vivendi going forward. To them, a tepid handshake cannot be tolerated once the current suffocating embrace is spurned. To such to have raised an outcry about the recent immunization debacle in the South-East is akin to treason. I just don't get it. Love so amazing!

Some of these "friends" and wellwishers cannot for once leave Ndigbo to their stupidity. Their overarching desire to save Ndigbo from themselves is quite commendable but is approaching the point of ridiculousness.

Ndigbo have a thousand and one ways to hedge against the hegemonistic inclinations of the muslim Hausa-Fulani north. The approaches that they choose at any particular point in time is entirely up to them. . Only them. Nobody else. Can any sane person shackle the future of Ndigbo and their grandchildren to bread and butter issues like potatoes, peppers and tomatoes? Or perhaps beef and chicken?
OMG!

LESSON: In the midst of an almost total collapse of US-Russia relationship, a multi-year contract for the supply of advanced Russian single cycle rocket engines still stands. Despite ongoing multi frontal effort by US companies to develop alternatives, some proven, no one seems to be in a hurry to scrap this deal. And this despite the fact that these rockets can be fitted on ICBMs! !

Despite the rhetoric, Russia which makes hardly anything that anyone wants to buy, suddenly finds some product for which both NASA and the private US space industry are ready to pay top dollar, and you want them to walk away from it? Tufiakwa, they could say. Not with the price of oil scrapping the barrel.

Please note that EVEN IF #Biafra comes to be, following these agitations, Ndigbo will continue to trade with their "enemies." People have so much to learn.

Even devil's advocacy has its limits.

As it is some people have wholeheartedly denounced the benefit of the doubt that I have so graciously granted them. (See below.) What more can I say?
