NDI IGBO SHOULD NOT BE ANXIOUS

NDI IGBO SHOULD NOT BE ANXIOUS
 On my way to work later in the week I saw a local magazine portraying the new president elect Donald Trump as the savior of Ndi Igbo people . The local magazine pointed that Nnamdi Kanu who is currently detained has already congratulated Trump and the reporters said that Trump would be the man that would make the actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra possible. The circulation from the local magazine in the past two days has stemmed up hot and bitter arguments between those of Igbo decent and those who are not or who are not in support of the widely circulated report.
    Well I need to pour out my mind on this. Those in support that Donald Trump an unrepentant racist would now be a savior of the Igbo race should exercise patience until he is properly elected as the president of the united states and should stop building castles in the air. This is because most of them would be crestfallen if this assumed savior does nothing.
      This was how there was  great festivity when Obama was announced as the first black president of the United states in 2008. Magazines and newspapers started circulating stories of the great help that Obama government would do to the Nigerian populace and many people believed those stories hook, line and sinker. What did Obama do ? nothing much my people. he was the one that even wanted to enthrone gay marriage (a taboo to many Nigerians ) into the Nigerian system. Thank God for the presidency and the members of the legislature who vehemently opposed it.
    Now the minds of many people are buying into what most local magazines are spreading just to gain fast publicity and make money. Our people should not be emotional but wait and see as events unfold for hasty conclusions has its own disastrous effects.
