Our
Anger With Hausa-Fulani---Yohanna Madaki
Since the debacle that led to the eventual
removal of the then Emir of Muri in 1986, Colonel Yohanna Madaki
has not been the same. As Madaki who was then governor of the defunct
Gongola State recalls, "that decision was seen as revolutionary,
they could not understand why a Bajju like me, an arne should have
the affront to remove a Fulani Emir who had the power of life and
death." He may have also ruffled some shoulders when he earlier
embarked on the tortuous historic journey to Alantika Mountains
which eventually thrust the plight of the Koma, a people still living
in their pristine state into national discourse.

Ojukwu
may head Biafra - Uwazuruike
Call him an irridentist if you like, But Chief Ralph Uwazurike,
the leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign
State of Biafra (MASSOB) is a very angry man, propelled by the desire
to have his people freed from years of perceived marginalisation and
extreme deprivation. He believes that the only way that the South
East, indeed Igbos, can be truly free is for the creation of a separate
republic from the entity called Nigeria. |
