Interesting read.

I hope to be able to live long enough to finally encounter the Igbo people you write about: a people who never sold their fellows as slaves (even when ample evidence abounds), a people, who do not have feudal class structures that produced and have kept rigorous line between Osu/Ohu and the free; a people who are only adventurers and discoverers, saints and victims.

If you were a Catholic you'd surely occupy a quaint room in the Vatican as a hagiographer.

Anyway, I consider Nwaubani a writer of high order. The sooner more Igbo writers take after her the better.

Chi,

I said never twice but none was like your never. Well, never mind.
