I recently read Obong Umana Umana’s online publication in which he
referred to me as a “tout”, apart from spewing several other vicious,
but false invectives on my person. My first reaction was that of
amusement; not just because Umana advertised his absolute ignorance, but
also because I satisfied myself that true to type, he would employ no
other weapon except his trademark, ignoble vehicle of falsehood to press
home his ignorance and dishonesty. Honestly, Umana cut the picture of a
very desperate man; a drowning man looking for straw to clutch on; and I
wouldn’t ordinarily bother to dignify him with a response, but will
inconvenience myself in this instance, for the benefit of the younger
generation, who may be misinformed or ignorant of the pertinent issues.
In the context, I will attempt a point by point rebuttal of Umana’s
diatribe, with a view to buttressing the fact of his superlative
desperation and depravity.
Umana referred to me as a “thug”. Well, this is contradictory;
because he also referred to me as his “friend” and his “brother”. Now,
how could Umana who wants the public to believe he is a noble man,
befriend a thug? Umana seems to forget his long history of activity
related to thuggery; and this I will highlight in the course of this
publication. He also does not seem to note that I do not belong in his
confraternity, cult, or whatever; and so I wonder what bond of
brotherhood we share.
