  I often ask myself whether, if I were Igbo, I could ever forgive Nigeria for what we have done to them. Femi Fani-Kayode, former aviation minister, has slammed AGF Abubakar Malami, who recently compared ban on Fulani herdsmen to Igbo spare parts dealer. Femi Fani-Kayode said, "It is totally unacceptable and deeply and inherently racist to compare spare part dealers to killer herdsmen. "Permit me to ask: is it a CRIME to be Igbo in Nigeria? "We killed millions of them (including their children) over the last 61 years. We terrorised them. We traumatised them. We insulted them. We denied them. We deprived them. We dehumanised them. "We mocked them. We criminalised them. We marginalised them. We humiliated them. We forced them to stay even when they wanted to leave. "We caged them. We broke them. We cheated them. We flogged them. We stole from them. We held them captive and we did so much more to them yet some say this is still not enough. "They believe tha...

  Actress, Tonto Dikeh, has said that rapists should either face the death penalty or be castrated. In an interview with Saturday Beats, she said, “In Nigeria, cases of rape are fast assuming a threatening dimension that requires urgent intervention. Rape, like other forms of violence against women, is an infringement on women’s rights, privacy, self-preservation and dignity. "There is little or no policy or law that protect the victims as they are most times blamed, stigmatised and humiliated by society if it is brought to the public domain. This hinders victims from embracing a mindset of reporting such an inhumane crime to the appropriate authorities. “I believe that any person found guilty of rape should be sentenced to death either by hanging, firing squad, lethal injection or electrocution. I would also recommend castration. "Rape cases and sexual molestations have become the order of the day, and the victims are not getting enough justice. Most of these perpetrators st...
