Placing the death of Awolowo to 1985 instead of 1987 is a mistake that I have already admitted after Segun Ogungbemi's observation and correction. Relevant to Danjuma's statement about Ojukwu and my response to Ogugua Anunoby, an unprejudiced reader will observe that what is important in my reference to Awolowo is that he was unjustly accused of committing genocide long after his death. That he died is never in dispute. Just last year, Ogugua Anunoby and a fellow repeated the allegation of genocide against Awolowo, while commenting on the death of Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle, who could not defend himself just as Ojukwu could not against Danjuma. Apart from the mistake about the year of death of Awolowo, I challenge you, Okechukwu Ukaga, or any other person to point out any other factual error(s) in my comments on the subject matter.
On the mistake on the year of death of Awolowo, Okechukwu Ukaga seized the opportunity to build a thatched house thus, "I have noticed that whenever brother Salimonu Kadiri can point to a mistake in any part of a submission that he wants to argue against, he never fails to suggest that the entire submission is wrong..." Now you are attributing false suggestion to me but falsehood is like a thatched house, no matter how neatly the stalks are arranged, it will inevitably rain through. It is now up to you to tell readers when I made the suggestion(s) you credited to me!!

.....And a gentle reminder that no one is beyond make mistakes and that a factual or proven error in one part of a submission should not necessary mean that the entire submission should be judged as erroneous. I bring this up because, on this list, I have noticed that whenever brother Salimonu Kadiri can point to a mistake in any part of a submission that he wants to argue against, he never fails to suggest that the entire submission is wrong because the writer cannot even get his or her facts straight in that erroneous aspect. Are we to judge him by the same standard in this case?
