RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - ibrahim-badamasi-babangida-ibb-in-the-eye-of-history/

I feel utterly offended by this piece by Tunji Olaopa to launder the image of arch tyrant and  Northern Oligarchy frontman of infamy Ibrahim Babangida.

I have stated several times that it was because of this evil man's grip on power that I ( and other respectable intellectuals, including those oo this forum) summarily left the shores of Nigeria unplanned in advance.

Just because Tunji Olaopa fed out of the hands of the treacherous ex military leader while honourable journalists in the likes of Dapo Olorunyomi, Dare Babarinsa, Nosa Igiebor, Babatunde Ojudu and so on risked life and  limb in ' guerilla journalism'  to dislodge the despot from power Tunji Olaopa doles out how not be a respectable and responsoble columnist and intellectual in this piece. This is irresponsibility that wears a plume!

Yes there is freedom of speech, but not freedom to insult with irresponsible image laundering by the likes of Tunji Olaopa, who knows fully well how his benefactor sent all Nigerians into 40 years in the political wilderness from which the country is yet to fully emerge.
