Warning

Sir:

When I was working on my music, and thus unable to respond,
you did many things to provoke my ire. But I have thus
far been restrained, now that I am free to fight you,
in my response. Alas it seems that a major war is
brewing and that I shall use my life to prove my point
at the highest cost to your people and progeny. Surely,
sir, you cannot be that selfish? I have, till this moment,
used Akindele, a childhood friend, as a symbol to represent
"the Yoruba people." But if I continue to sense your lack
of capacity to take responsibility for the actions that
have now brought our nation to the brink of catastrophe
and war, then I shall join the ranks of those--and there
are myriad--who say "I don't talk to Yoruba people." And
that would put paid to any pretensions to unity in our
fragile polity. As it is, since Akindele has gravity,
it is OK to use him as a symbol. But the beginnings of
genocide are now upon us and I share common cause with
the Igbo. If I continue to be dissatisfied, then my
racism, counselled by Christian Elders, will be complete,
and I will become anti-Yoruba at the personal level. Please
attempt to see into the future and imagine what such
a disposition MUST mean in our fragile polity. Your friend,
Seni Ajayi, knows fully well that there are many anti-Igbo
and anti-Yoruba collectivities, but my joining their ranks
is the surest bet yet that Nigeria shall entertain, once
more--and to her great regret--a civil war, sir. And you
shall be to blame.
