Those who feed others with the integrity of heart and guide them by the skilfulness of hands are the true leaders. Mark them. (Psa. 78:72).

-- Ethnic politics, the bane and hallmark of Nigeria's "demoncrazy". Going through this address, I could have been shocked to hear Prof. G.G. Darrah, a former champion of socialism, my former Professor of Oral Literature. Besides, he it was that introduced some of us to Marxism and Socialist Criticism some thirty-six years ago, at the University of Ife (now, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife), a highly respected and accomplished scholar; a profound critic of dysfunctional social system. A man of integrity! It is like committing "an ideological suicide" for Prof Darrah to be engaged in shameless psycophancy and Executive hustling,... perhaps for a ministerial appointment. My Professor, sir, where is the integrity you taught us so well and so passionately in those great Ife years? It is hurting to find that you have been predictably consistent since you offered to serve under the "Good Boy- Governor Ibori", to the degree that you now stand the TRUTH on its head.It is also tragic that the sitting President is guilty of fanning the ember of national disintegration, by encouraging politics of ethnicity.Ademola Omobewaji Dasylva
