May Soludo Never Happen To You – Nwaokobia Jnr

News, Opinion, Politics2023, Charles Soludo, Next Level, Nigeria, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Peter Obi, Politics

I have worked on the letters of the name SOLUDO, and I truly sympathize with all those who go by that name either as first, second, third or as surname. I'm truly not disrespectful of them nor do I mean any insults or harm. Sincerely my heart goes out to Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo who is the direct subject of this short piece.

Prof Soludo and the Curse Syndrome. I listened to Prof Charles Soludo, a first-class Economist graduate, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the current governor of Anambra state during the last Channel TV interview I not only shed tears but I pity the Igbo nation. I pity the Igbo nation not because we are not enterprising people or good people but because some of us are like a crocodile that eats its eggs. If you recalled in 1979, Late Senator Okadigbo was used as a buffer by Shehu Shagari to cast aspersions on Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe.…
