Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - For Mr. Okey Iheduru

Dear Funmi:

Thanks for your well-understood lecture. My sincere apologies.

However, I'm sure you're knowledgeable enough to provide me ONE concrete policy and/or strategy to accomplish that policy that your candidate, Buhari has stated so far to warrant my voting for him. Or, am I to believe that you don't know why you're supporting him?

Peace as always!

Okey

Mr. Iheduru:

 

I'm not ethno-nationalist howlers, spatially limited media hacks, or non voting diaspora dominated new social media jobbers. Seriously, you're way out of line and very, very condescending. Let's move on.

 

I grew up in Ondo town Nigeria with Hausas and Igbos, and I enjoyed Ileya (Ramadan), Keresimesi (Christmas), and always eager for Ogun, Odun Oba, Odun Moko festivals.  My childhood in Nigeria was full of pleasant memories of interacting with Igbos and Hausas.

 

It is very disquieting that you resulted to low-blow to respond to others.

 

Enjoy your weekend.
