The bushmeat was funny to me within the same context some Igbos or say Yorubas cannot really undertand hausa food and vice versa this thing cuts deeper not just here its somethign that came from Africa itself and this perceptions are what we need to change.we need to reconcile with the issues of the past affecting us head on there is an issue..lets keep doing this postive things bit by bit looking back in history the few tend to kick it off then the rest follow suit call it a sheep mentality
