Why is this story generating controversy because South East was mentioned. Are they slaves in their own country. Nigeria takes a lot of chances and that is how they continued to treat Niger Delta with contempt until it degenerated to a level of sham amnesty. Igbos are looked down on even in the working places. Why? The fourth estate which the press represents is not removed from this as Igbo reporters and editors and reporters are treated with contempt even in the so-called frontline media that hold concerts all over the world (ethnicity rears its head there. Do not mind those backpage columnists they're all racists). In public offices, they're booted out even when they've performed brilliantly. Then if such a big group is treated like that forget about Nigeria. Whenever you call them to serve in future, they'll use their genuise to bamboozle you like Iwu is doing at INEC.
