(By Harry Agina
Is it possible that the gods of the Igbo people of the Southeast Nigeria are ignorant and politically mischievous? I am an Igbo man, a traditionalist, and I say that the gods of my land are not mischievous, and they are wise. And, when a journalist named Odera says that he is “The Pen of the gods” in my Igbo land of Anambra State; I say wonderful!!! Just be sure that the inherent divine wisdom and professional integrity of the gods of our land flow through their pen in your hand; I say. If you ask me, or even if nobody asks me; I still say that it’s a little difficult to accept that the “pen of the gods” actually deliver some of Odera’s writings. I read one where he said that he is “confused” and ignorant, just so that he may score a cheap
political point.
Mind you, I have not called Odera ignorant, no sir; he declared it himself in the blog that I refer to, as he tried but failed to rubbish Anambra State “Operation Kpochapu” Security Initiative. You don’t believe me? Then check it out yourself. Hear it from the horse’s mouth (albeit in writing), and read my critique of the blunder, just a click away:
