hoohaaonline.co/fani-kayode-now-i-am-vindicated/ By Kelechi Jeff Eme- In my initial rebuttal to the infantile tantrum dished out by Femi-Fani-Kayode, I made it clear that his character orientation tilted to anti national cohesion tendency. I blamed our past leaders for fostering such unstable personality on Nigerians. I stated thus: “that this man was a federal minister was a judgmental failure on our political and administrative leadership.”All Fani-kayode did in his latest outing is the consolidation of the perception that only a man perpetually immersed in a cornucopia of aphrodisiacs could have written the way he did. When a supposed sane mind is drained by this uncontrollable immersion, only a visit to the “orange and pineapple farms” will rescue him. I hope he has availed himself this opportunity. I lived in Accra, Ghana for years and I am convinced there are enough of such farms there. Fani-Kayode descended into the lowest ebb any uncultured and permanently boyish man could have journeyed. Reeling out the names of real and imaginary women he had the opportunity of beholden their nakedness was the worst disservice a man who served as a federal minister could have done to his country. He not only debased the manhood in him but permanently soiled his reputation as a gentleman. I suggest another visit to the “orange and pineapple farms.” Let his conscience judge him on this unparalleled debasement of womanhood. The analogy that the ladies in question were all Igbos exempted him from classification of an Igbo hater further demonstrated the shallowness of his mind. Arteries and veins are alien to ethnic origins of conjugating individuals. Femi Fani-Kayode Femi Fani-Kayode In his poor attempt at justifying his obvious factual inaccuracies, Fani-Kayode failed to cross check his facts before publication. Did he really state that President Obasanjo appointed the first Igbo GOC after the war? Let me remind him that Major Gen Ike Nwachukwu was made GOC of 1st Mechanized Divison, Kaduna. That was under the administration of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida. Furthermore, Admiral Allison Mudueke was a service chief during the regime of the late Gen. Sani Abacha. For a man who laced his write up with juvenile claims to self-intellectual greatness, I am amused that he failed miserably in his research and fact presentation. Based on this inability to grasp a simple issue which he used to illustrate his position, I dare say that his intellectual pandering is hollow. I will recommend pity instead of bashing for Fani-Kayode. It is obvious that he is trying so hard to whip up other Nigerian ethnic nationalities to attack the Igbos. The logorrheic manner the writer speaks and presents himself has thoroughly divested logic and reality from him which are essential in public discuss. He wrote that “I was not a tribalist when I wrote essays defending the rights of the igbo and every other Nigerian nationality to exercise their right of self-determination and leave Nigeria if that is what they wanted to do.” This is where his intellectual hollowness manifested. How could he be presumptuous in a matter like this? How did he arrive at the conclusion that writing about right to self-determination is essentially a pro Igbo stand? Was there ever a time the Igbos came together and organized a plebiscite to be dismembered from the federal republic? Intellectualism does not suffer laziness and that is what Fani-Kayode exhibited. His tale of employing more Igbos than Yorubas when he was federal minister is not only obtuse but strange as well. A man laying claim to intellectual ‘gurusim’ must present figures to back up such claim. His credibility has already been flushed down the toilet a long time ago, hence nobody will take him by his words. A man who is perpetually threatened by imaginary Igbo domination will never employ more Igbos than his Yoruba. Only the marines are ready to listen to this cock and bull story by a man like Fani-Kayode. Is it not strange that a man indicted by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) is pontificating on the love of money by Igbos? Let him return the funds he looted from the national coffers before I can engage him in a debate on this issue. May be we should investigate and determine the tribe that destroyed the federal civil service and cemented corruption in Public service. May I remind the writer that NITEL is a constant reminder on how bigots and ethnic chauvinists must never be allowed to oversee a national asset in future and we know those that destroyed that great institution.The Igbos cannot mortgage their inclination to hard work to please those that are irretrievably lazy no matter their ethnic nationalities. The quest for Fani-Kayode in search of redemption and acceptance by his Yoruba people will continue unabated. He is new in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and he hopes to climb the progressive ladder by pouring invectives on Igbos to please a section of the Yoruba populace. He applied the same tactics during the Obasanjo’s administration and it worked perfectly for him. He is obviously angling for a repeat. The new party has the option of either allowing a man with zero political value to mess it up or to stand up and be counted. The burden of replying a man robed in all the known characteristics of demented brain is that one could be at risk of journeying the same path with him. I will not because of the effusions of a blown fuse in guise of a power house put all Yorubas in one basket. However, the Yorubas must call him to order publicly to distance their race from his vituperations. Or is Fani-Kayode voicing out what they say privately because of political correctness? I need to read an opinion moulder of Yoruba extraction condemn the charlatanism embarked upon by the depraved bigot. The current outburst should open the eyes of south eastern and south southern leaders to understand the need to embark on massive drive for strict adherence to fiscal federalism. They must insist that oil prospecting and producing companies should relocate their headquarters to states where they are operational. There is no logic in citing the headquarters of Shell, Chevron, Mobil producing and the rest in Lagos when they have no single oil well in the state. Furthermore, resource control is not limited to the quest for increased revenue allocation. Staff recruitment must be part and parcel of the resource control process. Lagos is a mega city and we are all proud of that irrespective of the myopic rendition of Fani-Kayode. This mega city will become nothing if oil revenue that sustains the industries is withdrawn. So what is the point of the bigot and his cheerleaders? Finally, I will advise women to be mindful of who they share intimacy with. This “kiss and gloat” mentality of Fani-kayode should be an eye opener to all women. Money, education and family lineage will not change the inert orientation of a brain dead tout. A man whose actions are driven by psychic energy which demobilizes his thinking faculty is not worth entangling with. Such men are always failed by their inherent libidinous elasticity.
