USA Africa Dialogue Series - My apologies please.

There's the saying, "Let the fool speak and the wise give no answer" and I suppose that's why some of the wise mwalimu in this series did not even deign to challenge  "the domination of Nigeria and Africa by the Igbo is only a matter of time'' being wrongly attributed to ZIK who was most probably incapable of making such a prophecy / prediction. Such wishful thinking/ "unsavoury comments"were allegedly made as early as 1945, by one Mr.Charles Dadi Onyeama, a member of the Central Legislative Council representing Enugu in his address to the Igbo State Union. He must have been in a hopeful, exhalative mood, nothing dangerous. Looking slightly further ahead in time he could have added "and give us a little extra time and we will rule the world!"  - although I don't think that if he had said that it would have worried the Americans, the Russians, the Chinese or the Indians one iota – the wise men among them would check his prophecy against their own and  then it could be a matter of " let the fool speak and the wise give no answer", all over again. Charles Dadi Onyeama was only giving a pep talk to his brethren in the Igbo State Union. We shouldn't read more into it than that. If he stood up at the podium of the UN General Assembly and said that, " It's only a matter of time before the Igbos rule Nigeria , Africa and the world"  he would probably get a round of applause, if not a standing ovation....

The lyrics of this song apply to all of us. If we would all love our neighbours as ourselves, we would be living in the ideal world.

 even they are different....

Over here we're getting ready to welcome Brother Obama!
