I want to presume that most Igbo writers and commentators in NVS are highly intelligent, urbane, critical and savvy in matters of public discourse. The benchmark used for this paradigm exploded on my face when the articles mentioned above were rained down with so much tribal grenades from a burgeoning intellectual Diaspora, who, by tradition should be a collection of neutralising agents against old shibboleth like tribalism, the fiercest Nigeria’s enemy. I was wrong.
