Chidi:
Let me give you a small test.
Write a page each on the following questions:
Who caused the Nigerian civil war, Gowon or Ojukwu?
Did Awolowo starve the Igbo during the Nigerian civil war?
"Buhari is Nigeria's greatest leader." Explain.
On question 3, I already know that you and Farooq will agree!
On question 2, Obi Nwakama and Baba Kadiri will agree!!
On question 1, you and Bolaji Aluko will agree!!!
Any field of inquiry that moves us into interpretations, opinions and motives are very difficult. You are dealing with sources, human beings, Muslims, Christians, even witches!
Sorry sir!
