Igbo Issues According to Terhemba Osuji

What has become of Ndigbo Bekonu? You cannot post anything whether advisory, strategic, realistic or self-effacing or recriminatory about Ndigbo attitudes or issues without Ndigbo attempting to crucify for sabotage against Ndigbo, it doesn’t matter whether you are an Amala or a politician or an academic or diasporan if you go against the unwritten and inflexible philosophical narrative code you will be torn to shreds, literally.   All Ndigbo, can read or hear anything and instinctively know whether you are speaking like an Igbo man on any issue most especially about politics and economic policy.
