My friend was discombobulated. During an interview with Nigeria's
embattled aviation minister, Ms. Stella Oduah, a journalist asked if she
was concerned that critics were raising issues about the remodelling of
airports she was doing.
Oduah flared up: "Who the Bleep are
they? Who the Bleep!" By the time Joe Obi, the minister's aide began
pleading with journalists not use the word "Bleep" in their reports, the
damage had been done. When Oduah later said that an accident is "an act
of God", my friend was not surprised. He had known the woman for long.
Now,
she says: "You know they hate me because I'm an Igbo woman!" So we dare
say: "What the Bleep has tribe got to do with theft, corruption and
mismanagement? What the Bleep has being an Igbo woman got to do with
inflated cars that are nowhere to be found?
