From loquacious Femi Fani-Kayode:

From loquacious Femi Fani-Kayode:
"Only six months later, on July 29, 1966, Ironsi and no fewer than 300 Igbo army officers reaped the consequences of their actions and plot when they were all killed in just one night during the northern officers’ revenge coup .....a few weeks later, between September 29, 1966 and the middle of October of that same year, approximately 50,000 Igbo civilians were attacked and slaughtered in a series of horrendous pogroms in the north as a reprisal for the killing of the northern leaders......."

How can a man with blood running in his veins be beating his chest at this? The massacre is no doubt one of the worst genocides in human history

Kola Ola Olaniyan on Femi Fani Kayode:

"I first read about Femi Fani-Kayode in 2001 when he, under the cloak of ethnic irredentism was threatening fire and brimstone to have Obasanjo removed by all means possible. He then put up a meretricious facade of a true defender of the Yoruba race. Obasanjo must have seen in him another ethnic militia in the making but decided to give him the appointment to drive home the point that "omo buruku lojo ti e" (a bad boy has his useful days). Femi was angry and hungry for appointment and desperately in dire need of prominence. He applied the contumacies of ethnic irredentism to balloon himself into the corridor of power, ever since then, he has eaten all his words against Obasanjo. He became a full time agent provocateur, he accepted the ephemeral appointment to mortgage his future, he now looms so large in giddy heights of notoriety and pomposity that he has forgetten that the nuisance value in him is all Obasanjo needs to use and that in the fullness of time, I mean when his notoriety runs its full tragic course, he will be consigned to the garbage heap of history"
