Odia Ofeimun’s write-up reminds me of what happened in the Bible when women of that time began to sing praises of a young David and making the king an object of ridicule. And the king happened to be the master of David. This mockery by the women so angered the king to the point that he decided to destroy David whom he loved so much. What I’m saying in essence is that of what use or value does it add to our people when they are told that Awo is greater than Mandela. These two great men were humble to the core and both experienced so much hardship for our people to be liberated from the oppressors. So no one should try to sow a seed of discord among the people they laboured so hard to keep as one. Instead Ofeimun should try to emulate these two role models of our generation.
