Open Letter To Ikpafak Thompson Essien, By Inibehe Effiong

Dear Thompson Essien,

I do not know what "Ikpafak" means but I have noticed that you use it in practically all your articles. So permit me to address you as such. I grew up to believe that maturity comes with age. I never knew at the formative stage of my life that common sense is not common but I now know because of your ceaseless inanitie. It is an anathema within the context of the African socio cultural setting for an elderly person to be dancing naked in the public.

~Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN SAM.
