STILL ON THAT SALLAH MESSAGE IN HAUSA:
After that speech my cousin needed a translator to understand the presidential EID message to Muslims. I disappointed him because my Hausa didn't capture everything Mr President said.The irony is that my cousin is a Muslim but speaks only Igbo, English and some Russian but he didn't see anything wrong in the Presidents advisers writing a National speech in a particular language only. He rationalised and downplayed the issue since it an Islamic religious affair it didn't matter even if Muslims of other ethnic group needed translators to understand it..He saw my criticism as a christian cousin poking nose on my own part I refused to translate the little I understood > I told him your Oga said "Eid Mubarak "
My Muslim Igbo brother saw that gaff from a religious point of view.
On another issue: I find it so bizarre some of the utterances in the social media from some Igbo elements who are angry that the Nigerian Police Fore (NPF) arrested EVANS (the suspected Kidnapper) calming it is a Hausa/Fulani dominated force. Some wouldn't even mind if he is released immediately. Some would even want him released and given a title not minding that 80% of his victims were Igbos. Yes what does it matter,he is an Igbo criminal and should not be arrested by a Hausa commanded force.
