In a multicultural society, no race should choose to be parasites within a Country like Nigeria. Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are natural reactions to natural situations,  even as I disagree with some of their approaches so far. When those who are elected to defend, inspire, motivate and represent the people abandon the people they are meant to lead and secure, the people will naturally  follow those who provides leadership. Without mincing words or at the risk of sounding immodest, both Nnamdi
