Can someone please rein in Joe Igbokwe for medical attention? I am always shocked at how he exudes all this lunacy and heap insults on the Igbo for being appointed an assistant on gutters in Lagos.
It might be time enough we started replying his tirades on the Igbo, since he decides not to know where to draw the line. In his latest drift, he said he would have been chasing lizards about if he had lived in Aba. That statement conveys the meaning that Aba, and the part of Nigeria that owns Aba are laggards and retards who operate a city that raises lunatics because only lunatics chase lizards on the streets.
No, Joe. That’s not Aba’s identity. Or should we say that’s what you were doing before finding your way to Lagos? If that’s what he did, then something would have been wrong with his mind stability because Aba doesn’t rear lizards and only wandering, homeless, jobless, and mindless people that have lost their personality chase lizards.
Aba has a fame, reason it has raised so many noble personalities for Nigeria, too many to count. Few of them include Arunma Oteh, Kate Okparaeke, former ICAN president, Joy Udesi Ifegwu, Orji Uzor Kalu and so many industrialists and people of noble pedigree.
Meanwhile, Ben Akabueze was Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Lagos for eight years and didn’t abuse the Igbo. Joe Igbokwe can’t stand where these people stand. There have been Igbo people who represented parts of Lagos at the House of Assembly and Representatives and their brains remained intact.
After Joe Igbokwe was appointed to supervise gutter cleaning, maybe, they guessed that he was fit and suited for such places, he has been busy cursing his ancestors. Does he sit down to ask himself how his friends he thinks he is working for, would regard him as an alienated slave to his people?
For his notice, what he does demarkets his employer because Joe Igbokwe is enough reason for people to distance anyone he aligns with. You can’t win Igbo votes for anyone by denigrating us. We are not the garbage in the gutter you clean.
Joe whatever, Skeeter Davis said in her music: “When you start running from yourself, there is no place left for you to hide.” I wish you take her advice and climb down from this tower of ignominy you built for yourself where you stand on everyday to re-emphasise to your listeners that your mind stability should always be called to question.
You may wish to know that the shit you spew everyday against the Igbo you claim to be, has emblazoned you an indisputable personality of the lowest order that has mortgaged his honour. You need to reset your mind, if you have any. Finally, Joe, our people, which you don’t have anymore say: “if you are sent on an errand like a slave, be wise to execute the assignment like a noble.” You have totally derailed, and bring shame and disdain to yourself every day.
