*Re: Between Governor Obi & Ihiala People
*Re: Between Governor Obi & Ihiala People
By Valentine Obienyem
The above article recently published in almost all the newspapers in the country, was written by Mr. C. Don Adinuba. Devoid of the unnecessary rigmarole that characterised the piece, he merely submitted that Ihiala Local Government, including his home town of Ihiala, is neglected by the present Anambra State Government headed by Mr. Peter Obi. He described Gov. Obi’s last gubernatorial victory as enmeshed in controversy. In his contrived view to suit the interest he was protecting, Gov. Obi was rejected by the people of the State in the April 2011 elections.
For many reasons, I do not want to write a traditional rejoinder to this piece. I want instead to seize the opportunity it presents to evaluate opinion-writing and informed commentaries in the contemporary Nigerian media. Of course, for being able to have his comments and opinions published now and then, Mr. Adinuba qualifies to be named among commentators on national affairs.
Reading through these opinions, including those coming from columnists, one can classify them according to their literary texture, philosophic bent or genial pull through sense and nonsense. Such writers like Dr. Reuben Abati are instructive interpreters of events in manners that are endlessly inspiring. Some opinions are packed with wisdom and winged with wit. We have some mature opinion writers; permit me to give example with Dr. Edwin Madunagu. You may not agree with his viewpoints but he writes in the mellow metaphysics of old age. If you see somebody reading the back page of the Sun, who every now and then interrupts the reading with patches of deep laughter often to the point of giving himself blows upon the forehead, accompanied with motions of ecstasy and mirthfulness, it is either he is out of his wits or he might just be reading the opinions of writers like Mr. Steve Nwosu. The likes of Okey Ndibe, whose writing I once compared with Maimonides’s Guide to the Perplexed, gets too personal these days that you get more perplexities than guidance reading him. Writers like Femi Adesina are not afraid of saying it the way they see it. You may not believe it, but some pieces inspire us to love wisdom because they are centred on speculative thinking; here you talk of writers like Dr. Okey Ikechukwu. The Dan Onwukwes of the opinion world believe in the sanctity of conveying the truth without dissimulation.
But there are some writings that lack what could be called total perspective. Reading them you need no soothsayer to tell you that the writers do not even believe in what they write. This class of writers are what we call hatchet writers. The existentialist Gabriel Marcel had them in mind when he said that “a man who believes in nothing and a man who depends on nothing is a man without connection.” They do violence to themselves and to opinion-writing. These are people who collect money to write anything for opinion because, as far as they are concerned, it remains their views. To such writers, characters such as Osisikankwu, the dead Abia kidnapper, can be elevated to posthumous sanctity, depending on how those that wanted it have been able to lubricate some palms. When one reads articles written by them, it will not be difficult for one to detect how the coerce necessities of physical existence can drag us from the height of thought into the mart of economic strife and gain. Writers that come under this block know themselves. Such writers never think of gathering their writings in book form because some of their viewpoints dictated by one pay master or the other will even be scandalous to them.
