...The thing that finally got me writing and quit ‘thinking’, apart from the fact that this is Nigeria’s year of Jubilee, was a mail forwarded to me by my wife about two weeks ago. She had travelled to Tanzania on some official business, and thought she should share the mail with me, before she got back. The mail was about the communiqué from the conference of a group of Nigerians in the US, who felt they had the right to speak on behalf of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. The mail was equally forwarded to her from an e-group to which she subscribes, Ekitipanupo. She had earlier forwarded a mail to me, containing the published address of former governor of Cross River State in South-South Nigeria, Mr. Donald Duke, in which he ‘revealed’ what was titled ‘The ABCD of Rigging in Nigeria’, in that mail.
When I read those mails, I was alarmed, and felt it was finally time for me to write this book. I do not have to reproduce what they said in their very selfish and thoughtless communiqué (that no group of Americans in the US where they live and held the conference, would dare to attempt) here, it is on the web. Be that as it may, I repeat, I was alarmed, and for good reasons...
