“The Igbo MUST, from now on, be careful of what they say or do… The abuse of Yoruba must now stop! All Peter Opara’s of Nigeria must note! I am not begging. Don’t make the Yoruba angry. You will regret! You have billions of Naira of investments in Yoruba land.YOU WILL LOSE THOSE INVESTMENTS.” – Tunde Adenodi

Listen to him. How does one deal with an abused man, an irrational man that cannot think straight, that cannot handle the truth; an evident thug? Tunde Adenodi.

As to my piece that prompted Tunde Adenodi’s rant and pant as above, I only wish the man had addressed the substance of my submission – my clear, unalloyed response to his dilemma, his consternation, why it is according to him – “Igbo Date Yoruba, But marry Hausa Fulani”; if Tunde Adenodi had addressed the substance of my submission instead of the rant, wailing and flailing to which he treated everyone, including yours truly; if he had addressed the substance of my submission, readers could have been better for it, in that our chat, however unfriendly, could have moved a notch, and readers could have benefited from what either of us had to offer. I say this because my purpose in writing is to argue, to inform and to educate – even on cyberspace pervaded by frauds, phonies and nonentities that have nothing to offer not by knowledge, and certainly not by experience.

However, even Tunde Adenodi’s absurd idea - “High Principle” and the Yoruba acts thereof according to him, could have made a good reading if he had explained it. I know that in my submission, I queried Tunde Adenodi on this idea – “High Principle”, fraudulent as it is, every which way, in a manner a trial attorney would – or at least I tried. But did Tunde Adenodi explain what he meant by “high principle” and acts thereof? Noooooo. His explanation could have made for interesting reading, at least to me. I did know that the man was running on empty – like his brother Aremu, OUT OF GAS.

Did Tunde Adenodi fail to respond to my queries because they were posed by a “chicken brain” – his reference to me? Or did he fail to respond to my queries because he has amala for brain? Since Tunde Adenodi brought the discourse this low, readers can discern for themselves which reference holds water, “chicken brain” or amala brain. Forget not readers that “chicken brain” posed queries that amala brain could not address.

Tunde Adenodi avoided my queries and instead treated readers to rant and rave that can only come from a disturbed man; a man of abused faculty, a tormented man, a man doing battle with demons, a thug. What with his hollow article - “A Lunatic Defending Biafra to Death”? If only this fellow could in a magic moment, remove the haze in his eyes, if he could in one magic moment exorcise the demons infused in him by years of negative propaganda, then for once in his life he would be rational, and hopefully offer his readers factual and informed arguments, not irrational and hollow rant.

I know that I addressed Tunde Adenodi’s question, and attempted to resolve his wonderment – Igbo dating Yoruba but marrying hausa/Fulanis - with facts of living history. He may not have liked facts of living history that I put to him, as he naturally avoids truth; a natural obfuscator of truth, Tunde Adenodi, he could only come back at me swinging fallacies and the thug that he is, threatening the Igbo, especially those resident in “You Robber Land” ( apology to Lugard’s gang) otherwise Yoruba land.

In my attempt to address Tunde Adenodi’s question and to resolve his wonderment, dilemmas and/or consternation – if you please, I summoned a favorite subject of mine – Propaganda; I tried to educate and inform him how diseased is his mind, how ravaged were his nerves – a consequence of years of negative propaganda – with hope that he may reflect just for a moment relative to his dispositions as discussed in my piece and may be stop howling at the moon and seeking “excreta” cites, a favorable haunt of a rural dog that he, Tunde Adenodi continues to remind me. Now, I never called this man a dog, Tunde Adenodi, but he simply reminds me of a dogged excreta dependent rural dog. That is all.

May I ask Tunde Adenodi to tell his readers what part of my response to his write up on his

consternation – why the Igbo date Yoruba but marry Hausa/Fulani that I did not address and that he did not understand? Was it the living history facts I cited on his Papa Awolowo u-face, volte-face, about face on Odumegwu-Ojukwu following their meeting? Was it Awolowo’s economic and human rights crimes against the Igbo? Was it the living history fact that the best natural escapists abound in Yoruba land – Brigadier Ogundipe, Wole Soyinka, A. Akinloye, R. Akinjide etc etc; a people whose very nature allow for ease of disguise. The known Yoruba great escapees, the afore listed and many more hop on bicycles, motorbikes and before you can say Oti o, they are already in Cotonou! And this is when they are not targets of any threat whatsoever, direct or indirect. They run from their shadows. Now you show me a man who runs from his shadows, and I will show you a coward of Olympic proportion!

To those groups or individuals whose minds have been conditioned to believe that Odumegwu-Ojukwu “caused a war and ran away”, shame on all of you, you are nothing but pitiful indolent souls. None of you could ever find your way out of an enclosure even if you were led to an exit door. You would still be howling, how do I get out of here!

Odumegwu-Ojukwu for your information was marked for death four good years (1966-1970) to the date of his departure from Biafra to Ivory Coast where he lived a full and productive life, in fact becoming a millionaire doing what his father, the first indigenous African millionaire did better than any African ever born – trade – the Igbo pride profession – the cornerstone of capitalism – man’s best exhibit – that the Dupe Adelajas deride. Odumegwu-Ojukwu left Biafra for Ivory Coast at a time and place of his choosing; he left behind chagrined Aremu and his band of marauding vandals. That is a wise, brave man – Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu was next on the list after the abduction and murder of Major General Aguiyi Ironsi by his trusted Hausa/Fulani and southern Christian aids. Unlike Brigadier Ogundipe, a yellow belly that could not stand a rebuff by a Hausa sergeant in Yoruba land, Odumegwu-Ojukwu led his Igbo people and successfully resisted a planned genocide by the Hausa/Fulani, supported by the Yoruba, the entire southern Nigerian Christians, Russia, Britain and the entire Arab world. With Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s leadership, the Igbo resisted, fought and wore down Yakubu Gowon’s “police action” that was in fact a genocide operation; Odumwgwu-Ojukwu then left when he had to. And boy, were we Igbo happy that he left. Has Aremu, the chief slave, the hegemonists’ arrowhead ever gotten over Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s departure? Is it not same with deluded Tunde Adenodi. Not a surprise at all. Same people.

By the way Ogundipe was the most senior army officer after Ironsi. He set an example that Aremu followed to the letter, serving under a junior and receiving orders from a junior – Gowon, acts hitherto unheard of in the military. Only in Nigeria! Incidentally, Tunde Adenodi believes that Ogundipe scampering away was a great act. Remember this, man, your mantra, if it is good for the Yoruba, it is not good for others.

But they are still after Odumegwu-Ojukwu. About two years ago, Gowon awoke from a slumber and told Nigerians that he would not have spared Odumegwu-Ojukwu had he laid his hands on him. Soon, only last year, Aremu Obasanjo spoke in the same vein. In his phony piece conference, where all the Igbo saboteurs in his cabinet expended their last credit to ensure that Odumegwu-Ojukwu was present, Aremu finally expressed publicly the nightmare he has had for 34 years now and counting thus – “if I had captured you, if I had captured you” - uncouth Aremu referring to Odumegwu-Ojukwu, a guest at his phony piece forum. Again, only in Nigeria - where inferiors rule superiors; where today, known looters of peoples’ treasury and destroyers of citizens’ future influence policy and yearn to come back to power. Well Aremu could not “capture” Odumegwu-Ojukwu then, but he is doing all he can today to “capture” him, it does not matter that Nigeria is under civil democracy – so-called, in which everyone including Odumegwu-Ojukwu has freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, freedom of association, freedom of dissociation – now deemed questionable acts deserving an invitation by Aremu’s secret killer squad - SSS. Aremu will depart this earth with mouth agape simply for not “capturing” Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

Tunde Adenodi’s article showed the enormous demons he battles daily, but more importantly, his article in itself is nothing but a threat to seekers of choice and alternatives to Nigeria or Tunde Adenodi’s brother, Aremu. With the Igbo in particular, they are to die for expressing choice and seeking choice, a better choice at that out of a torture cage in which they find themselves. The Igbo must be dispossessed in Tunde Adenodi’s land for their want of a better life outside the torture cage over which Aremu now reign.

These questions are in order for Tunde Adenodi - What harm does Igbo desire cause you? How does Igbo desires harm or abuse the Yoruba? How does Igbo desire for Biafra that obviously tears your brain apart, Tunde Adenodi, amount to abuse of Yoruba? Should the Igbo shelve their desires, whatever they may be because they do not sit well with you?

Now, going back to your article to which I responded; you expressed a dilemma, I sought to resolve the dilemma for you in a GASKIYA FASHION, but as truth causes you bellyache you went BANANAS and as an irrational man would, you resorted to threats. Now how am I wrong in believing that you are a mad man, Tunde Adnodi? You must understand Tunde Adenodi, if anyone can stop the Igbo, that is if one can stop a pursuit for freedom, it certainly will not be a mad man like you; it does not matter how much threat you spew. Come to think of it, your Pa Awo’s entire design backed fully by Yoruba like you was to stop the Igbo; in fact the Yoruba exist in Nigeria to stop the Igbo. It has been 40 – 60 years now, you have not succeeded. Think of Awolowo/Enahoro starvation strategy; think of the 20 Pound Sterling strategy; think of the indigenization decree strategy; think of your banding with the Hausa/Fulani strategy – all strategies to stop, in fact annihilate the Igbo. The phoenix still rises. Now you have to be on drugs not to understand and accept the Igbo wanting out and away from natural enemies like you – not just thugs, enemies.

Tunde Adenodi’s article – Lunatic Defending Biafra to Death - having appeared on www.gamji.com on September 14, 2004, it was clearly in progress – being written during or soon following the monumentally successful “Stay-at-home” order in Nigeria by MASSOB – Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra – an order that reportedly paralyzed business and commerce all over eastern region, parts of Lagos, parts of the north and wherever the Igbo reside and do business inside Nigeria.

Being so, unless a man is possessed, as I have posited with facts – empirical and otherwise, concerning Tunde Adenodi, the overwhelming response by the Igbo to MASSOB’s order should have caused a re-think of the title Tunde Adenodi fashioned for his article and directed clearly at yours truly, a single individual, who in Tunde Adenodi’s opinion is a lone “Lunatic” defending the Igbo nation - Biafra. Is not this man deluded? He thinks here is a lone “lunatic” defending Biafra? Did I not use the words of Tunde Adenodi’s eminent kinsman Richard Akinjide describing Biafra as “a great experience” to show what an irrational man he is, indeed a mad man, to say to the Igbo to stop talking about “ a great experience” - Biafra? Yet Tunde Adenodi could not get it. What else am I supposed to do? Come to think of it, you cannot stop a mad man. Tunde Adenodi, you can walk naked in the market square, and that will be just fine.

As much as the Igbo expression of Biafra is expression of “a great experience”, expression of choice – an out from a morass – Nigeria, it should have been clear to Tunde Adenodi, that yours truly is but a negligible entity among those expressing this experience, this choice - Biafra, and as such he should have broadened his title to include the Igbo in their entirety or did he? What should be clear to Tunde Adenodi, however, is that yours truly would rather be a “lunatic” for freedom, than a masochist that never encountered pain, suffering and privation that he did not enjoy. I know better, and that explains my preference for choices, for alternatives. How about that, masochist Tunde Adenodi?

As to those Igbo that Tunde Adenodi wrote are in agreement with him, I have to ask Tunde Adenodi - have you inquired of the place of those Igbo among other Igbo? I do not argue at all that there are some Igbo that agree with a Yoruba like you. But you, Tunde Adenodi can see how wrong these Igbo are. Do you not see what a fool is that Igbo that agrees with you, the Yoruba that would dispossess and appropriate hard earned Igbo property in Yoruba land? Now how foolish are these Igbo? Do you see how justified are the rest Igbo that deem the type of Igbo that agree with you foolish, EFULEFU? Tunde Adenodi?

We have read some of these Igbo, who think the way you think, Tunde Adenodi. But again, do you wonder their place among the Igbo? For your information, we have a simple name for them – EFULEFU. I am not obligated to explain to you what EFULEFU means. Foolish might do. But I ask you to inquire from the Igbo that write and agree with you what the word EFULEFU means and if he or she is deemed or referred to as such. They agree with Tunde Adenodi, the man who would on a whim, engineer anarchy, in order to dispossess and appropriate Igbo property in “YOU ROBBER LAND”.

Do you get the word FOOLISH as it pertains to these Igbo? Well to all of us Igbo, the Igbo that agree with you, Tunde Adenodi, are scumbags; they bear Igbo names and claim, only claim to be Igbo. I call them IINOs – Igbo In Name Only. There is one that goes by the name Osita Olisa; he is the only known skunk born of woman, fathered by Lucifer. There is another whose name I will not mention here, as he is now laying low, having been bound, roped by yours truly with bounteous sacred facts and God’s own truth. Indeed as many of them as have posited their foul, abominable thoughts on the web – I mean those that agree with you Tunde Adenodi - the Igbo as whole have been able to flog down with sacred facts and God’s own truth. These skunks that claim to be Igbo now crawl about web chat rooms like roaches, afraid to rear their stinking, ugly derriere in the open. They are bastards; they are pieces of excreta that you, Tunde Adenodi could have for breakfast, lunch and dinner, for all that any true Igbo cares! After all excreta cites are your favorite haunts.

By the way, Tunde Adenodi, “derriere” is French word for back, behind. “De ja” – words that seemed to have thrown you up for the shark is French for already. This brings

me to my coinage – Yoruba De ja vu – in my response to your DOCTOR brother Akintinde. Vu is past tense of French word Voire – to see – thus Yoruba Already Seen – Yoruba de ja vu. Okay? This is a little French lesson for you. You should know that I allow myself word/phrase coining privileges, poetic license, if you please. I should for I so qualify, having been putting pen to paper since 1975, and having been published verbatim by Nigeria’s greats like Ray Ekpu, Maurice Akade, and in the Guardian, Punch and Sunday Times of the late 70s and early 80s. Incidentally it was the Magazine that your crude Aremu banned, New Breed Magazine that honored my first effort at putting pen to paper. Aremu banned new Breed Magazine; he banned it because it was Igbo run, it was triumphant and it was soon after the war. About the same time, Aremu banned a local radio transmission made in Mbaise. Aremu was like a psycho, flogging down any and every sign of ingenuity he could find in Igbo land. He had earlier disbanded a group of Biafra engineers that Samuel Ogbemudia, former governor of the old Midwest got together to teach a thing or two about local technology to Nigerians. It is not about “instrument of surrender”, it is about ingenuity, it is about knowledge, know-how in technology and sundry aspects of human endeavor in which Biafra had mad a quantum leap!

Well, before I get off track, Tunde Adenodi, “Yoruba De ja Vu – the phrase that confounded you, stands for Yoruba Already Seen – that is your anti Odumegwu-Ojukwu rant, your anti-Biafra rant, your anti-Igbo rant are all de ja vu – a Yoruba thing, a Yoruba neurosis, a Yoruba psychosis. Mgbo? If you were a careful reader and one that appreciates facts, supporting facts to an argument, I would not be belaboring this point here for your Doctor Akintinde who you claim wrote truth, simply went mum when it became clear to him by my submission that he, like you, swung nothing but lies and half truth – reminiscent of thoroughly propaganda abused mind. I urge you to go read that piece again – “That Wumi Akintinde’s Neurotic Exercise – a Yoruba De ja vu”.

Now, one of Wumi Akintinde’s “truths” was that Odumegwu-Ojukwu is “a cradle snatcher” – such insult directed at Odumemgwu-Ojukwu for marrying his sweetheart Bianca! Imagine that. But Akintinde the truth teller failed to mention that the man he referred to as “khalifa” whatever that meant or means, Aremu Obasanjo, there is no fat ass out there he saw that he did not like and want for himself. Tunde Adenodi, it was one of your kinsmen whose uncle has known Aremu for 50-years that informed readers that in Ibadan, where Aremu once held sway, you could see shoeless, shirtless little kids running all over town, kids that Aremu pissed out, kids that he does not care for and do not intend to care for. “Obasanjo denies son’s wedding” was a recent Punch newspaper headline. That my friend is the real truth! I have read worse things written and said about Aremu by those who know him better than you. Did you read one Ambassador Otunla’s recent interview in the Vanguard? The other day the Odua Liberation Movement chief referred to the man as a “buffoon”. What do you say about that, umm, Tunde? Afenifere chiefs are not kind to Aremu either.

Like the Igbo Efulefu, you, Tunde Adenodi, delight in recounting Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s loss of election in Nnewi. I wonder if it occurred to you that your man Aremu never won election in his ward in Ogun State? You can see here the extent of your intellect and who indeed is a “chicken brain”. Intellectual dishonesty is second nature to you, Tunde Adenodi. Only recently, Aremu did what only thugs do; he disrupted a traditional election in his village, because his chosen man lost the Owu cap or whatever. It was in the same fashion that Aremu oversaw the robbery of Nigerian peoples’ mandate for the illegitimate position he occupies in Abuja, and you expect me to accord him respect. Man, yours truly is of the Old Igbo School of Basic Principle, not “HIGH PRINCIPLE, in which my father was the principal, my mother the vice, my uncles and cousins, teachers; they taught me to call a thief a thief, and that a thief has no respect and no respect is accorded him. Excellency my nyas! Now, even Aremu himself knew that Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s party the APGA won all of the elections in the entire eastern region, all the way to Bayelsa. To whom is this news? Did not Aremu’s Igbo thug in residence, Chris Uba, confess as much only last month (August 2004) in New Jersey – that Peter Obi of APGA won in Anambara State – where Aremu provided funds for elections rigging? As to the man who supposedly defeated Odumegwu-Ojukwu, as I asked an Igbo efulefu friend of yours once, what is that man’s name, where the hell is he now, how has he featured in Igbo affairs then and now? Do you know the man’s name, Tunde Adenodi? Sure you have no answer to my questions. So why do you not quit seeking excreta and howling at the moon?

You keep referring to “instrument of surrender”. Who surrendered to whom? How proud you must feel thinking the Igbo “surrendered” to a Yoruba vandal. Surrender ke; dream on. It never happened and it will never happen. Why do you think Gowon and Aremu are still having sleepless nights? As for the other wanton killer, the physically and mentally unhinged ugly duckling Adekunle, misery is today his sole companion. He killed enough that now he must kill himself or simply suffocate in his vomit.

An Ojukwu induced psychotic that you are, Tunde Adenodi, you refuse to understand that whereas Odumegwu-Ojukwu is the pride of the Igbo, Aremu cannot boast of a modicum of regard from the Yoruba, certainly not from true Oduduwa son. Do you see your intellectual dishonesty, the fraud that you are, Tunde Adenodi? The gods of your land will strike you, should you feign ignorance of the fact that Odumegwu-Ojukwu beats your Aremu hands down in any and every category of human endeavor. It is okay for you to count Aremu a success based on his three times headship of Nigeria. In his first phase, the portly coward was scared to lead even his family; in his second phase, he was shooed in like a zombie drummed from jail to power; and in his third phase, he killed and maimed to steal the peoples mandate. That is success for the dim wit, the deluded.

You, Tunde Adenodi, wrote – “But for Obasanjo, we, Igbo and Yoruba and the south…would still be in Hausa Fulani prisons as we were for almost forty years”. What a buffoon you are. It is known that the Yoruba are willing prisoners of the Hausa/Fulani jailhouse. What has the Hausa/Fulani chief slave, Aremu, done for southern Nigerians other than swearing to work for his northern masters to keep Lugard’s cage intact. Did he not swear to contain the only freedom loving Igbo so the cage, the jailhouse may remain in tact? What really do you mean? Aremu the hegemonist arrowhead, Aremu that refuses to convene Sovereign National Conference – SNC – so nations trapped in the cage that is Nigeria can decide their fate – whether to stay, whether to confederate, whether to leave; Aremu who would rather the jailhouse that is Nigeria collapse on his head – as it surely will. So what are you talking about Tunde Adenodi? Now, even if I allowed you some delusion, as I should, given your mental state, but how could you include the Igbo among your band of slaves – willing slaves at that – of the north? Of course you do not understand and never will understand why the Igbo fought a war. To the demented like you, the Igbo fought a war to break up your white elephant nation; you do not understand why Aremu swore to keep the Igbo from “ever threatening Nigeria again”. Mind you, Dan Fodio’s crusade of enslavement stopped in Yoruba land, where your pliable, malleable people knelt in submission. Dan Fodio’s enslavement train never reached the River Niger, neither did it cross the Benue; the man and his troop would have had to deal with my grandfather’s guns – guns that shot at the white man. Tunde Adenodi, are you going to say that you do not know to whom Aremu owe his Amala and Ewedu? Aremu allowed once in Katsina that he was from Katsina and that Katsina made him. For once, the man spoke the truth. Everything Aremu does today validates this truth; his morbid fear of anything north. Radio Oja has it that the man is having a nightmare, fearing what will be his fate should power revert to the north. What is he afraid of? Ha ha ha. Would you, Tunde Adenodi, for once think straight? Read the afore lines over and over again, and think, I mean think straight.

You may not know this, Tunde Adenodi, the motto of a state in the USA, the country in which you reside away from the reign of ruin in Nigeria by Aremu, your beloved kinsman, is - “Live Free or Die”. It is the “Live Free or Die” spirit, Tunde Adenodi, that is the Igbo chemistry that made the USA in which you live and make a living; again, away from Aremu’s reign of ruin. It is the “Live free or die” chemistry, Hello, that puts the Igbo apart from the rest of all you slaves – the Yoruba being number one – willing slave in Nigeria. Assuming you follow me, Tunde Adenodi, would you then not qualify as a fraud, intellectually and otherwise to be beside yourself on account of Igbo desire, freedom, as did Americans way back in 1776?

By your definition, Tunde Adenodi, American founding fathers were lunatics for freedom. Isn’t this great? See, Tunde Adenodi, theirs was lunacy for freedom; freedom that has provided mankind the best nation on this God’s earth; freedom which your abused faculty is unable grasp, is Igbo’s Biafra; freedom which abound in your foreign country of residence that you are unable to grasp is the desire of the Igbo that are trapped in your god awful part of the world, where men of abused faculty like you reign. Only the Igbo stood to kick the British out of their part of the world, as did American founding fathers. The man who had the best British education money can buy, the most recognizable and most famous African Oxford graduate, led that charge – only to be sabotaged by born, willing slaves like the Tunde Adenodis. Mgbo?

I am a bit aware of Aremu’s background – a wretched background it is. They are wretched of the earth that bestrides Nigerian space; so you have wretched in and wretched out. Hope is in vain for a better Nigeria that may soon have a ranting and raving looney in the name of Tunde Adenodi running its show. Why not, he is Aremu’s type and quite in his good books.

Yet on the matter of the Igbo and choice and Tunde Adenodi’s non-acceptance thereof – incredible but understandable - readers will agree that Tunde Adenodi re-titling and recasting his article that appeared soon after the MASSOB stay at home order would have meant the entire Igbo bearing Tunde Adenodi’s label of “lunatic” in their expression of experience and choice of Biafra. His article should have been titled “Igbo (Ndiigbo) Lunatics defending Biafra to death – meaning the Igbo all are lunatics expressing an experience, expressing a choice – a tried and true choice – not only yours truly.

As to the particular reference - “Defending Biafra to Death”, even a fool knows that there is no Biafra that physically exists that needs defending. Now readers can picture Tunde Adenodi and his ilk barking and howling at the moon. Who is that man that barks and howls at the moon that is not demented, schizophrenic, psychotic? A man who is scared by an idea, a concept, a symbol, a name is simply psychotic.

The foregoing explanations, gives credence to my diagnosis of a man possessed, a man of irrational disposition – as evidenced in his current rant, a man of diseased nerves – all a consequence of intense negative propaganda boomerang – Psycho/Neuro Boomerang – a term, mine, that Tunde Adenodi could not fathom because he is busy chasing shadows – as a schizophrenia is wont to. Readers please excuse the random terms of reference of mental state as it pertains to Tunde Adenodi; the terms are all applicable – the man needs thorough diagnosis to assist in pinpointing which term is more applicable.

It is clear to me that Tunde Adenodi is a man of thoroughly abused mental faculty. He is in the category of the Yoruba on whom the Yoruba myth and propaganda had the most impact. Rather slow on the up-take in these matters, Tunde Adenodi could not unravel my meaning of psycho/neuro boomerang or as usual, he foisted his usual and customary fraudulent dilemma. My explanation of the circumstance that gives rise to such mental and neurological condition was of no help to him, as he tended to mock the term. I have no proof, but I believe that the Yoruba fashioned all of Nigerian propaganda of the Biafra/Nigeria war years. The boomerang, Tunde Adenodi, is that the mental and nervous conditions that propaganda causes are evident in your reaction to the objects/target of the Yoruba fashioned propaganda.

Propaganda is fashioned to turn its target into something to despise, something to fear, something to disavow, something to dispense with ignominy. The Igbo, Biafra and Odumegwu-Ojukwu were the main targets of Nigerian war propaganda. Now propaganda causes one to react one way or the other toward its target; and reaction to targets of propaganda or propaganda targets includes but not limited to extreme paranoia and lashing out directed at the target of the propaganda. I have personally observed many Yoruba lash out at Biafra and at the name Ojukwu - lashing out in condemnation and/or spite. My observation dates back to 1996. Wole Soyinka is guilty of lashing out at even the mention of the name Odumegwu-Ojukwu. Aremu is in perpetual fright of the name Odumegwu-Ojukwu and the word Biafra. Mention Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Aremu becomes unhinged, emotional and incoherent. Tunde Adenodi, how have I charged your reaction to Biafra and to Odumegwu-Ojukwu? The title of your article to which I am responding says it all. By you, they are “lunatics” that defend Biafra, by you they are lunatics that express choice, express alternatives. If only you can think, Tunde Adenodi, you would understand who indeed is the LUNATIC. YOU.

A Thug in the Land of Lincoln

Tunde Adenodi, you have gone further than just lashing out and/or exhibiting typical propaganda induced paranoia at the hearing or sighting the words Biafra and Odumegwu-Ojukwu – Nigeria’s propaganda targets. You are now issuing threat, a clear evidence of lunacy. Your article – Lunatic Defending Biafra to Death – is a threat to anyone pro-anything Biafra. You made clear in your article that one professes Biafra to one’s peril. Your lashing out reached a crescendo, as you threatened the Igbo with losing their investments, as your kind are prepared to descend on the Igbo living amongst you in your parts and appropriating their properties and investments.

Tunde Adenodi, you went beyond just lashing out which in the context of mental problem could be considered harmless. But in lashing out the way you did, you presented yourself as a THUG; a possessed and psychotic THUG for that matter; a THUG that for no rhyme or reason would engineer chaos in order to beat up a fellow man and dispossess and seize his hard earned possessions. Where would you stop? What else could you not do? This is dangerous. Tunde Adenodi, you are dangerous to the public and to yourself. The fact that you have some education and you are an ex-military man makes you a dangerous THUG – an educated THUG.

I here advance three reasons to explain Tunde Adenodi’s abused and tortured faculty that is responsible for the thuggish rant of his in response to my piece.

Tunde Adenodi was formed in tragic and vexatious times. 1. When the Igbo were on the upswing building Nigeria, the Yoruba applied and relied on myth and propaganda – Egbe Omo Oduduwa to checkmate the Igbo. Tunde Adenodi fed and nourished on the Egbe Omo Oduduwa myth and propaganda. Here again is a propaganda-psycho-boomerang. 2. Tunde Adenodi lived and experienced tragic times in his parts, when his kind unleashed mayhem in their land, under the cover of what they termed “Operation “WETIE”. At the time his kinsmen set each other ablaze, let blood loose in Yoruba land; blood that led to the truncation of Nigeria’s first republic. 3. Finally, Tunde Adenodi fed his faculty fat on Nigeria’s propaganda against Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Biafra. Quell dommage! These brutal episodes and experiences inform the thug that is Tunde Adenodi.

Do not forget this statement Tunde Adenodi, a confession by an honest kinsman of yours thus – “….When we were young, Nigerian government warped our minds through different jingles – into thinking that Gowon was the angel while Ojukwu was the evil”. Here is a testament to what you and those like you suffer – WARPED mind. And that is a fact.

Tunde Adenodi is in good company. Today, thugs and killers reign in Nigeria; they are in Aso Rock - Nigeria’s seat of power. Aso Rock – described by Wole Soyinka as “A nest of killers”. Nigeria has today as it rulers, “incumbent Terrorism(ists)” – again, Wole Soyinka. But need Nigerians Wole Soyinka to tell them that Nigeria is today a criminal, murderous country? They are thugs, the likes of Tunde Adenodi that pervade places of decision and policy in Nigeria. Because thugs and killers rule today in Nigeria, one expresses one’s thoughts, choice and all at one’s peril. Nigeria’s attorney general – Cicero - was killed in his bedroom, because he thought differently from the thugs in power; so did others go to the land beyond because they thought differently from the chief thug. Did he, the chief Thug, not say to his kinsman – Wole Soyinka - then within his killing scope to “watch his back”? Show me a leader so-called who says to a citizen “you better watch your back” and I will show you a thug in a leader’s garb. Here is a leader that should be protecting citizens, instead he threatens them and does everything he can to inconvenience them – if it was only that, inconvenience. We know that citizens have been killed, and the chief thug came on the television and announced the killing as armed robbery! Tunde Adenodi?

WELL, AS I WRITE, THEY SEEK TO HARASS AND INTIMIDATE THE IGBO ICON AND SYMBOL, HE ODUMEGWU-OJUKWU, FOR NO REASON, OTHER THAN THAT HE EXPRESSED AN OPINION.

NIGERIA’S COFFIN HAS HUNG OVER ITS GRAVE FOR A WHILE NOW. NIGERIANS SHALL SEE THE COFFIN BEARING NIGERIA DROPPED WHERE IT BELONGS – SIX FEET BELOW, SHOULD A SCRATCH COME UPON THE BODY OR PERSON OF ODUMEGWU-OJUKWU. TO WHOM IN IGBO LAND WOULD ANY BE TALKING TO ABOUT A PHONY ONE NIGERIA? MAY BE UKPABI ASIKA AND HIS CLAN.

As is expected of Nigerian killer thugs, Tunde Adenodi fashioned his article to alert his co-killers, the nest of killers in Aso Rock, the thugs in his parts that the Igbo expressing choice and opinion are to be watched, and preparation made to cause chaos to allow for dispossession and looting of Igbo investments in Yoruba land.

It is in order, I believe, to alert the U.S. Department that there is a Nigerian thug, a terrorist in the Nigerian community in the land of Lincoln. It is in order to inform the U.S. Department of the antecedents of this thug. Today, Bosnian refugees in the U.S. are fishing out in their midst, persons that participated in the killing of innocent civilians back home. Tunde Adenodi has similar antecedents as an ex-Nigerian soldier. Today, 34 years later, he nurses still a plan to kill and dispossess Igbo in his part of Nigeria. As one averse to order and freedom of speech or choice, this man Tunde Adenodi, is not fit and does not deserve to habit the land of Lincoln where freedom and order reign. This, the U.S. Department must know or at least have on record. It is public service.

Tunde Adenodi is a THUG IN THE LAND OF LINCOLN. He came out and pronounced himself a thug, a thug he will remain in the eye of any discerning person for anyone holding or expressing a contrary view to Tunde Adenodi’s risks death or dispossession of his life and property. Though threat, blackmail and intimidation constitute the stock in trade of his and his kind – this I am aware; in a land of law and other, Tunde Adenodi must be held responsible for his every word, the threat he has just issued.

On an academic level, need one any evidence of a psychotic walking the streets in the land of Lincoln, Tunde Adenodi? Let me repeat for emphasis only, Tunde Adenodi is a victim, an abused man – consequences of propaganda boomerang – both neurological and psychological – fashioned and waged against the Igbo by the Yoruba. There is millions of Tunde Adenodi, but this Tunde Adenodi in particular cannot help himself – he rants and raves and never knowing that he does. That is a sick man.

Tunde Adenodi “On a Darklin” Plain”

How much more pummeling does one’s faculty deserve? Tunde Adenodi’s faculty is a cesspool of virulent anti-Igbo propaganda! Tunde Adenodi’s contact with the book “On a Darklin’ Plain” by Kenule Saro Wiwa, capped off his derangement; in fact Wiwa’s book sent Tunde Adenodi’s Igbo phobia to the top of mount Olympus.

“On a Darklin’ Plain” by Wiwa, a poet of sorts, is a metaphor for the shade and shape of the Nigerian socio-political terrain at the time, the darkness that gradually befell Nigeria prior to the Biafra Nigeria conflagration – darkness no different from the experience of Nigerians today. The book also is a useful handbook on hating Biafra, a handbook in Igbo phobia.

Wiwa, bless his soul, who worked to lift his Ogoni people from environmental degradation, want and poverty amidst riches, had a world of time and energy that he invested pillorying the Igbo. Even Tunde Adenodi can attest that nowhere in the Wiwa book did Wiwa write the proper noun Biafra starting with a capital letter B. Throughout the book, Wiwa ensured and meticulously so, that Biafra was represented in small letters thus – “biafra”.

A striking, sinister aspect of the book is the fact that there was no Igbo mentioned in the book and about whom Wiwa expressed likeness or fondness that was alive. In other words, they were all dead Igbo that he liked. This was not an accident. Anyone who read my response to Tunde Adenodi’s “Igbo Dating Yoruba but Marrying Hausa/Fulani – a response that generated his latest psycho-babble – Lunatic Defending Biafra to Death – should have noted my statement that the only Igbo for whom Tunde Adenodi would vote for in an election was a dead Igbo. I must confess that I never knew that Tunde Adenodi was an early student of Wiwa, and that he had chomped down Wiwa’s book.

The question is: How much responsibility should Wiwa’s book bear for Tunde Adenodi’s Igbo phobia? Beyond Wiwa, how much responsibility should Egbe Omo Oduduwa anti-Igbo propaganda bear for Tunde Adenodi’s Igbo phobia? Finally, how much responsibility should the Yoruba fashioned anti-Biafra, anti-Odumegwu-Ojukwu propaganda bear for Tunde Adenodi’s Igbo phobia?

Do readers now see a picture of a man thoroughly abused, a man so ravaged physically and mentally by virulent negative propaganda? Tunde Adenodi quotes Wiwa’s book as basis for his claim that Gowon released Ojukwu. Readers can now see how jaundiced a claim this is.

Wiwa was a man who could not help his despise of the Igbo. The man’s driver was Igbo, and I believe even his cook. He schooled in Igbo land and had numerous Igbo friends. Yet he hated the Igbo. Why? His Igbo classmates and schoolmates taunted him, the man had claimed for being challenged in length and size. I do not know any that went through school in Nigeria that was not taunted for one reason or the other. Among the Igbo, if your last name sounded odd, and it was Igbo name, you were taunted. Hmm.

Fortunately for Wiwa, he, like the Biblical Saul – later St. Paul – that persecuted Christians, later had an epiphany on his way to Damascus – in Wiwa’s case, just before his death. Wiwa made effort to reconcile with the Igbo that he had spent a lifetime pillorying. Wiwa once made his way to where who is who among the Igbo were gathered somewhere in Imo State uninvited. He was determined to crash in, but was stopped. Wiwa, at a gathering of Igbo! He had gone to seek rapprochement, to make amends. Thus understood, he was allowed to have a say. There, Wiwa apologized to the Igbo gathered, stating how his people were maltreated, and appealed to the Igbo to assist him in his effort to emancipate his people. There and then the Igbo icon, His Excellency Chukuwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Dike Di Ohanma of Igbo land, Ikemba Nnewi, embraced Wiwa, welcomed him to their midst and congratulated him for seeing the light at last! Soon, the man was dispatched to the land beyond.

Is it not interesting that the Yoruba NADECO – that band of socialists and anarchists that used Wiwa’s name for the phony cause of theirs never mention his name today. Worse still, the man who Wiwa’s name benefited the most, Aremu, under his watch, Wiwa’s people are worse off, and today, as I write, they are being shot at and chemically vaporized.

In the same book – “On a Darklin’ Plain”, Wiwa recounted his encounter with Aremu – Olusegun Okikiolahan Obasanjo. Wiwa relayed in no uncertain terms, what a “methodical”, mean spirited man Aremu is. This much Nigerians have witnessed in the nearly five years of brigandage, debauchery, thuggery, cruel and crude rule of the one and only Aremu – a failed leadership that still blames rulers before him – and he was one of them. Who is fooling whom? “On a Darklin’ Plain” – is it by accident that fraudulent Tunde Adenodi failed to mention Wiwa’s reference to wicked Aremu? He could only reference a passage in the book that supports his lame assertion that Gowon released his Pa Awo – just by merely announcing his release. Again and again, I ask this man: Who between Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Gowon had the power and influence to effect Awo’s release and delivery of Awo safely to Ikene? He references a sentence by Wiwa in his book. Truth is that at this time, inconsequential Wiwa was making his way in a canoe through dingy sea creeks to Lagos – a tortuous escape that rendered him frazzled and dazed. So we are to take as fact or evidence, Wiwa’s sentence thus “it was about this time that Gowon announced Awo’s release….” . What a clear and precise evidentiary statement – “about this time”. What time, what place, what date, what circumstance? Is there a better evidence of delusion than this man, Tunde Adenodi, believing he has a case, when he does not? Logic does not faze him, and neither does truth.

As to Odumegwu-Ojukwu stopping Awo’s release or harming him, that was out of the question. The Igbo is no thug, and clearly not their pride and icon – Odumegwu-Ojukwu. Odumegwu-Ojukwu is without a doubt or question the finest being that ever bestrode the Nigerian public space. All Odumegwu-Ojukwu has ever wanted and expected are order, legitimacy and proper procedure. Who does not know today that the easiest way to fall out of favor in Nigeria is to expect order, legitimacy and proper procedure? Thus is Odumegwu-Ojukwu the enemy of Nigeria. So be it.

It is the demonstrable demons that habits Tunde Adenodi’s mind that brings forth diabolical, insidious thoughts as the Igbo or Odumegwu-Ojukwu harming Awo. And come to think of it, if Awo had been harmed by the Igbo, the Yoruba would have had some justification for joining the Hausa/Fulani war of genocide against the Igbo; and the Igbo would have prepared themselves to deal with the Yoruba as enemies – thought that never crossed the mind of the Igbo as the war lasted. Talking about a war between the Igbo and Yoruba? Benin, open your border! The Igbo opponent will fight no other way than with their legs across the border.

Bottom-line here folks, Tunde Adenodi’s has been a life that has wallowed in negativity. This explains his irrational, negative and hollow rant to evidence rich response from yours truly.

I attempted to inform on what destructive effects war time propaganda had on him; it was a negative propaganda on the mental and neurological levels that had a boomerang effect on the likes of Tunde Adenodi – thus the sub-title – psycho/neuro boomerang. This is no academic exercise, man, neither is it a show off as you claim Tunde Adenodi. You are a sick man.

If you have any doubt, read my earlier response to you again, and read your response to mine, your latest, which necessitated sympathetic advice and reference to you thus – “a raving lunatic…walking the streets of America; a walking tragedy; seek urgent medical advice or at least comply with your anti-psychotic medication….that way, you would take the edge off your more dangerous infantile delusions or risk being committed to an asylum”.

The referee and advisor concluded as follows – “No sensible person would give serious thought to the disjointed rant, a spillover from your tormented mind which your piece represents”.

Tunde Adenodi, I am not the only one who think you are a mad man. You are downright irrational if only on matters of our discourse – Igbo, Biafra, Odumegwu-Ojukwu. Irrationality is a mark of schizophrenia, psychosis, neurosis etc. The word is, my word, OJUNEURO-YORUBAITIS. Another name for this disease is Tunde Adenodi. Again, if you need to understand what you suffer, take your drug, then sit quietly and read my response to your Igbo Dating Yoruba but Marrying Hausa Fulani. It is a complete piece on you and your kind. You simply cannot deal with truth, thus your claim not to understand my clear response to yours.

“Things that touch us most shall be last served”. In that Shakespearian spirit, let me now respond to Tunde Adenodi’s statement thus – “There is a Peter Opara, a communications consultant, or so he claims to be….” A kinsman of Tunde Adenodi’s whom I challenged on his desire for Ibrahim Babangida presidency and especially his absurd reference thus - “Babangida’s brilliant military career” - used the word “claim” in reference to my authorship of books! Again, only in Nigeria - I cannot seem to get used to this culture - a career crowned by brazen thievery described as “brilliant”. However, by the use of the word “claim” Tunde Adenodi and his type insinuate that one is not or may not be what one says one is.

Well, Tunde Adenodi, yours truly surely and certainly never claim what he is not. I do not claim to be a communications expert. I am a communications expert, and a superbly talented one at that. As truth eludes you Tunde Adenodi, you certainly lost sight of the fact that I cited your brother Aremu, as one that has actually benefited from my service, one whom I propagated. What part of the word “propagate” do you not understand? I have documents to prove – letters of solicitation and all. As to your kinsman who wrote that I claim to be an author, well, gentlemen, I have three books to my name. I could have added more books to my name, had I not been busy responding to insane hypocrites like you. I have no regrets whatsoever for it is only noble to challenge and expose liars and hypocrites, to shame them. Well, I am aware that there is no more shame in that part of the world – thanks to Babangida.

Still on my communications practice, you need to know that long before “image laundry” as Nigerians say became fashionable with respect to Nigeria as a country, I was initiating, and implementing in that arena – communications and strategic alliances for Nigeria, internationally, in all facets of its international needs. Guess who

BNW Advocates' Island

stumbled on my track in my communications efforts on behalf of Nigeria? Bolaji Akinyemi, the professor. Now think back when this man was Nigeria’s external affairs minister. As a typical Nigerian, indeed the typical Yoruba, who will not live to see the Igbo survive in Nigeria he had to attempt to upstage this one with Igbo name; he had to hop on my efforts that were outside his purview. That much, the man conceded – my efforts being outside his purview - as I made him aware of his acts by phone in his hotel suite in New York. Still on my communications practice, I have numerous time fashioned talking points for Nigeria’s ambassadors and ministers to deal with international journalists. Enough.

As for you Tunde Adenodi, I recall that you once allowed that you a re a pharmacist. Now I know what pharmacists like you do. You are a MEDICINE COUNTER – one who counts medicines. There is nothing wrong with that. You stand all day or all night – wherever you make your living – stocking up medicines, counting medicines and/or dispensing medicines. You are a medicine counter and medicine stocker. I ask you, Tunde Adenodi, what is the use of your knowledge of organic chemistry, your knowledge of inorganic chemistry, if you cannot find or concoct medication that could cure an ailment, any ailment? Has it ever occurred to you to rummage the jungles of Ondo, Ogbomosho, Ilesha or wherever it is you hail in Yoruba land, for some leaves, roots or barks whose chemical/organic component you could turn into cure for a common ailment in any part of the world especially in our god-awful part of the world? What is your use to Nigeria as a pharmacist?

I mean, I can say as I relayed above that I have put my expertise to use for Nigeria, the country you OPTIMIST IGNORAMUS, JOHNNIE COME LATELY PATRIOTS want to impress us you love more than everyone else. What have you done for Nigeria, Tunde Adenodi, except your yap, yap and blah, blah, blah? Do you Tunde Adenodi, still not see Nigeria the way your Pa Awo described it – “ a mere geographical expression”? Imagine that when the Igbo was building Nigeria, the top Yoruba regarded the same Nigeria only as a spot on the world map and embarked on clannish myth and propaganda as monkey wrench on Igbo upswing. What have you done for this “mere geographical expression” except to behave like a DOG IN THE MANGER now that your brother Aremu has mangled everything up? In your heart of heart, you do not want Nigeria, you wont let others have it, and you rather die than see them leave. Folks, something MUST give.

Nonetheless, as one who is interested in the wellbeing of mankind, regardless what part of the world they hail or in what part of the world they live, should you, Tunde Adenodi, engage successfully in a find for cure of an ailment, I promise here to put aside whatever animosity I harbor toward you as a being, to forget that I have referred to you as a mad man and backed my assertion with evidence – empirical and otherwise; I will forgive but not forget, and as a measure of my capacity and capability, position you and propagate you and your finding, such that within a given period of time, you Tunde Adenodi, and your finding will have your deserved acclaim, with the ultimate objective of placing your finding for acceptance and production for the benefit of mankind and of course you – and me, too. Would you, Tunde Adenodi, take this as a challenge? And for your information, my efforts thus, would not be the first time I have come to the aid of your kind, kinsmen, that is. You better believe it.

Now there is a challenge from “a chicken brain”.

It ought to be clear to folks that many of us are many things that we choose not to put out there – Drs of medicine and Drs of sundry philosophies. What would the insignia Dr. do for me, make me appear big, invincible? Nonsense. Is it not worse when one has this Dr. thing appended to one’s name and the one writes or expresses oneself like an elementary school pupil and worse conveys no knowledge whatsoever? On top of that the one has the temerity to question another’s writing. What hollow bravado is that? Tunde Adenodi, I am referring to your “distant cousin” you blindly defend; your “distant cousin” from the land of “small men” land of “slaves” – one of your kinsmen wrote recently; your “distant cousin” whose ethnic group you have recently antagonized for saying the truth about your heritage. Still on the Dr. insignia, to whom is it news that the insignia doctor is for sale and a great many purchase instead of earn it

One cannot say for others, but I read out of curiosity and above all, I read to learn and to be informed. When one appends Okpokoro (as the Igbo would say) degree after ones name and then writes plain nonsense, I would simply say, please spare me, us. Do something else. You may be a physician who cannot think straight, and then you wonder why one who cannot think straight has a medical or terminal degree for that matter. Even, I once wrote this Tunde Adenodi man to commend him for a piece of his that I enjoyed – at least some aspects of the piece. The man responded in a rather ungraceful manner; then I had to bring his attention to some crap in his article, and the rest they say is history.

Indeed. I do not care how far long this argument drags, Tunde Adenodi, simple logic, truth and sacred facts abound with which to bound and contain you. You will continue, this I am certain, to make my arguments, and provide the rope with which to rope you, as a THUG must be roped.
