'Igbo know no king', but they have always had leaders by other names: owelle, ikemba and Eze. So whats the big deal about ' Igbo know no kings even if this is accurate? (but this statement has been challenged by another Igbo on this forum)
Whats all this misleading subtext that the Igbo have always been socialists who have no classes about?
No Igbo that I know will buy that from you. So you are all on your own.
When you were promoted to the rank of professor why did you not reject the promotion that it is divisive to the working class, insisting you are on the same rank with a new appointee?

Where are the schools to promote the teaching of the country's lingua francas?

Interesting topic. I may not make it because 5am is a bit too early for me to join from EST.
I hope that you will go beyond the micro or individual level of analysis to talk about the international and intergroup dimensions of Nkalli or domination and the resistance to such will to power by democratic tendencies that emphasize that isi aka isi or no head is greater than another meaning equality, Igbo ama eze or the Igbo know no king, inwe onwe anyi or our collective self-ownership, meaning freedom and egbe belu ugo belu or let the kite perch and let the eagle perch in mutual respect and tolerance.
