Sorry, but the General Mills staff that manages millsberry.com considers it a cheat to share this information online. But I can tell you this - all the answers you are seeking can be found here:

In Wole Soyinka’s The Trials of Brother Jero, The ‘man of God’ in one of his few moments of self-realization, confession and truth said that he, like most of his fellow ‘men of God’ and charlatans either had followers already or were always looking for followers, this self- confession can not be any truer in Igbo land today.
.

From the present lot in Igbo land, who aspire to be our leaders, I am trying hard to pick one person that has demonstrated a genuine desire to lead and serve Ndigbo, I know that many people always think about Dr Alex Ekwueme, but I really do not think that he fits the bill, he is a politician who has been there but didn’t do much for Ndigbo, more so he seems to always belong to the ‘wrong’ political party (NPN, PDP), these parties are not particularly ‘party Ndigbo’. There is also Emeka Anyaoku, while he is a fine and distinguished gentleman, he seems to have been away for a long time and may not ideally appeal to all sections of Ndigbo, but he can be propped up if he starts taking radical stand on issues affecting Ndigbo, at the moment he seems to want to please everybody and that is not acceptable.

Prof. Ben Nwabueze does not appear to be cut out for this role; time therefore is not on his side to convince Ndigbo. Emeka Ojukwu fits the bill based on his background and visible pro- Igbo exploits but he is now a politician and will be a hard sell, he can however continue to speak out on behalf of Ndigbo on important issues, at least the support he received from Ndigbo during his ‘wahala’ with the SSS should assure him of his high status and regard in Igboland. I think the Ikemba will serve Ndigbo better as a statesman rather than a politician.

I also think that the present generation of aspiring Igbo leaders whose only constituency are the several internet forums they belong to do not come close, if anything, some of them have only succeeded in undermining the issues at stake and have reduced Igbo leadership to a thing of mockery by their antics, is it not a shame that some of them want to lead a people of over 30 million population and the best places for them to declare their intentions and do their politicking are in yahoo internet groups with usually no more than a thousand members? Makes you wonder if they indeed understand the magnitude of the tasks at hand.

I don’t want to talk about the several Igbo states governors, who desire and aspire to be Igbo leaders, like Ndigbo will say, charity begins at home. What have they done? and what are they doing for their people at the moment with the mandate given to them? Where do all their monthly allocations go to? They are not even anywhere near. What a shame.

The stable therefore seems empty and open at the moment, and I want to believe that the challenge is to the present generation of Ndigbo to start anew, we should no longer look up to these our so called ‘leaders’ for redemption and salvation, we have tried them and they have failed us. We should start in our different capacities as individuals and as Ndigbo to help and serve our people in which ever way we can.
