Donald Trump: Umeagbalasi and powers of screwdriver salesman by Jude Chijioke Ndukwe - Commentary@ITREALMS

Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

It is never difficult to see the hand of Esau in the report by The New York Times under the headline, “The Screwdriver Salesman Behind Trump’s Airstrikes in Nigeria” purportedly filed in by one Ruth Maclean.

The mocking description of Mr Emeka Umeagbalasi as a “short man” and the repeated mention of “Onitsha”, a leading commercial town in southeast Nigeria, a region with arguably the highest population and concentration of Christians in the country, in the report send all the signal needed to conclude that the report was not about facts, nor about love for Nigeria, but all about labelling a man and the ethnic group he belongs just to keep promoting a dangerous narrative mischievously and maliciously skewed against the Igbo ethnic stock of Nigeria.
