FFK: A vulgar striker on transfer.

By Bolaji O. Akinyemi.

Femi Fani-Kayode - Haunted By A Nupe Ancestry - Fighting A Foggy Yoruba Identity Complex

By Nwankwo Tony  Nwaezeigwe  , Ph.D , Senior Research Fellow Institute of African Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

Nigeria’s nationality question is neither the creation of the Igbo nor the Yoruba. It is the consequence of Hausa-Fulani’s megalomaniac quest for political power in the nation. Yet the Hausa-Fulani accept the fact that both the Igbo and Yoruba hold the key to their attainment of this divine-right objective only if both groups agree to remain suspicious of the other. It therefore becomes obvious that the solution to this national question can only be attained if both the Igbo and Yoruba realize that their mutual understanding and respect of the other’s perception of Nigeria’s progress would save the nation millions in loss of human and material resources.
