The story of Nigeria's 'untouchables'

God, I can't believe it's been more than three weeks since I had my last post here. I hate giving excuses, but, well, just a simple one could soothe my little writer's conscience. Reason: grading students' papers. I haven't had time to invest much thought on extra-curricular writings that meet my set goals in this forum.
Well, friends, I stumbled upon this article on BBC website. It’s about the Osu caste system in Igboland. I am reminded of my failed attempt to address this issue in one my many novel manuscripts languishing under my bed. Ach, these publishers! If only they would care to read at least one of them.
Sorry, to bother you with whining. See the article.
