Nnaa, stop disgracing Ndiigbo. The young Elechi that wrote "the Concubine" was an Igbo man, but the old Relechi Ramadi that just died, was not an Igbo man. He was a rabid Igbophobic Ikwerre man who abhored Igbo tag with every cell in his body.

He was behind the campaign to separate Ikwerre as a distinct entity from Ndiigbo after the war, he planted the seed of Igbophobia in the hearts of most Ikwerre youths, and he went on to fabricate and doctor the Bini origin history of Ikwerre, which he shamelessly promoted until the day he died.


No well informed Igbo man would want Ndiigbo to be associated with anything that has to with Relechi Ramadi.

My brother I love what you said here. In his memo about Biafra war, he showcased his hatred towards Igbo and even fought against Biafra.

I wonder how some people will just want to claim an identity that is not theirs.

I read Amadi's wartime memoirs, 'Sunset in Biafra.' He told of his many sufferings for alleged disloyalty to Biafra. Nobody could be happy at having suffered such misery - detention, harassment, even being stripped naked publicly. He was a fine writer and had the reputation of being a principled, disciplined man. I salute his memory.
