My name is Samuel Somoye. I am an ardent reader of your column on Sunday punch. I took special interest in it because i am also studying for my masters in International Finance here in the University of Glamorgan in Trefforest Wales and would be finishing this month. I must confess that i enjoyed every bit of your piece you put up every sunday. Indeed, i was always looking forward to it. However, i was taken aback when i read last sunday that you will be going back to Nigeria soon. It's indeed a good thing that after we have learnt and garnered enough knowledge from here, that we take it back and impact others back home. I said i was taken aback because i know that indeed i am really going to miss your column from the next edition of the Sunday punch. Anyway, i do hope you continue writing lovely pieces in the Punch and i would always look forward to reading it. Finally, i would just want to say that we do appreciate what you have been doing and please keep it up. May the Lord God go with you as you proceed on your journey home and may you meet everyone in peace. Amen. Hello Mr Casmir, a very good afternoon to you. My name is Samuel Somoye.

It is good to expose the social malaise that has crippled the growth and development of our nation. I fully associate with any constructive effort towards redirection and re-orientation. I am also very glad that someone from my clan, Isuofia, is positioning himself to give a voice to various clamour for Nigeria's social, political and economic re-engineering just as I am very proud of my good friend Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. It shows that we are developing as a people. However, my purpose of writing you is to draw your attention to the fact that you do not cut your nose to spite your face. It is good that you are trying to launch yourself into public view but when you refuse to see the line between journalistic adventurism and slandering your fellow 'Isuofians' you injure the cord that holds your sanity. There are many ways that your article would have been written without mentioning Isuofia while still driving home your points. Of course, other people who had written on this issue of maladministration and its implications to our national psyche never selected their own communities for oppobrium. Other communities are not different from Isuofia. While I admit that it will be futile to dispute the veracity of your shamefaced accusations against your nativeland the point is that it does not lie in your mouth to tell the world that your mother is not a virgin. At least, there should have been a more responsible way of upraiding 'our straying brothers' and calling the attention of 'Ndi Isuofia' to moral degeneration enveloping us if that was what you set out to address. In any case, the deed is done but let it be known that decent and lawful enterprising 'Isuofians' both here in London and elsewhere take serious exception to your exuberances and recklessness. Another effort to continue on this road of ignominy will be firmly and openly resisted and repudiated. I live in London and I know that our people who have made money by lawful means is far greater than those who engage in illicit businesses. We refuse to be collectively castigated as people whose money is of questionable origin. Isuofia inspite of its shortcoming still occupies a high position in moral index of Igbo communities. If you have failed in your financial responsibility to your families and relations it is not because you do not engage in dubious activities. The same applies to your inability to meet the societal expectations which includes your unaffordability of 'exotic Jeeps'. It is not a badge of character to live in envy and 'bad belle'.

I am a regular reader of your column in the Punch and for some time now wanting to write a short piece to you on my impression about your column. Using last week's title above as a reference I think I cannot agree with you less on the expectations of family members here from someone coming back from a trip abroad and your conclusion was very right! Keep up the good job and hope you find Nigeria (Lagos) still interesting on your arrival. I am a medical student in LUTH, Idi Araba. Arikawe Adesina Paul Mr. Casimir Igbokwe,
