Prof Corruption:



That was the comment I made to your indigenisation nonsense you rant about. You won't blame your short sighted leaders but of course put the blame on someone who has no connection with your misery.

There is no need to give you a response since your comment is mostly filled with denials, justification and deflection of blame. Afteral Awo's interview is filled with lies, half-truths and exaggerations. So, how do I expect a better response from his supporter?

Dede1:

He elaborated further by saying it does not make sense feeding your enemy to have strength to continuing fighting.

Tell me what's in this statement that is not clear or logical for you to understand. Do you feed your enemy to grow fat to be able to kill you?

Why did Ojukwu not think for a second that the food being sent to Biafra could be poisoned to exterminate him and the rest of Igbo people? Of course, he knew Awolowo would never approve of such a thing so he cornered the food and allowed the masses to die of hunger. That's your hero, that's your saint, that's your immaculate being. Because Awolowo said, stop the food, your general with the greatest army south of Sahara concluded Awo was the greatest evil on Earth.

The rest of your post is nothing more than a junk. We can not all share the same opinion. There must be an outlier. You remember a man call Ike Nwanchukwu, he fought on Nigeria side. Think deeply about it.

@prof corruption, so after seizing foreign owned companies at undervalued costs, u still expect foreign investments to flood into nigeria? Awo was d reason this country never got industrialized. And it seems many choose to forget this on tribal grounds

Bwa ha ha ha ha! Una neva jam. You are the victims, you know. I have great pity for you folks.

I should also expect a great and objective response from his non supporter. That's the logic of a typical Igbo man.

I can say one thing, here in the United States, everyone has heard of Professor Chinua Achebe, because his novel, Things Fall Apart, is required reading in most schools. I had to read the book years ago, when I was in high school.

And I doubt anyone in the West knows much if any about Chief Obafemi Awolowo. That is just my 2 cents on the matter.

Don't come here and share ignorance! Read about indigenisation policy. Which companies were undervalued? Undervalued by who? The foreigners were not sent away, they were only required to have local partners and some of them merely used the locals as front to continue their ownership.

Read about it before you ooze out trash

@ prof corruption. Ike nwachukwu was pubic relation job. He has no substance on d flow of events. There were actually a few like him who were even photographed by d nigerian side for pr job purpose. Besides his mother is hausa and his father probable considered an efulefu. Every society have a few like his father.

You need to express yourself intelligently and logically comport to the premise of the subject matter to extend this debate. Awolowo and Yoruba fought alongside with the northerners yet he had audacious pedigree to call someone irredeemable when simple truth was told about his actions.

Of course, I know a man called Ike Nwachukwu. Unlike Awolowo and Yoruba people, Ike Nwachukwu has never shamelessly denied his participation in the war or attempt to rewrite the history of events during the war or manufacture a prose as in the case of Lt Col Francis Fajuyi wanting to die with Ironsi.

@ prof corruption. Read o a lawal o level economics. He is a yoruba man and stop d insults on me. It's not necessary

Nonsense. So because someone is known in US, the fellow is now important? Stop deceiving yourselves

All I need to translate a book to several languages is to assemble language experts and provide the money.
simple. It's all about money, nothing more.

As for the book selling 10m copies? Who gives a fck? Jennifer Lopez On the Dance Floor, a track of less than 6 minutes sold more than that trash based on superstitious Okonkwo. Where is he today? He is in Brown university-a pseudo Ivy league. He is not teaching at the so called best university in the world-Harvard. As I type illustrious Yoruba sons are teaching in Harvard in same field of literature. To cap it all, why has he not won a Nobel to really convince the world that he's not over hyped? Somebody here in Nigeria won it in 1986, a lot more than twenty years ago!

I as a person see nothing in the Things Fall Apart trash. It was a badly written book. He merely exposed the cliches and proverbs of Igbo and not a superb works of genius in the class of Animal Farm et al. No wonder, nothing to write home about him after that. You can't sustain intelligence on copy and paste.


I personally see him as somebody because of his criticism of Conrad. Read Conrad: Image of Africa. That's the only thing worth while from Achebe. The rest are over hyped trash recycled to deceive the world. Una neva jam.

If you knew about Nwachukwu, why did you mention Soyinka? You now see there is an outlier in every tribe. You are learning.
You can't bring misery upon yourselves and blame it on others: that's rewriting history. That's what your senile professor is doing.

Achebe wil cause anoda problem....:his words is an offence to d yoruba
race and now CPC has find d book offensive saying its a fresh invitation
for war. Did Awo caused d civil war or was he d one dat caused d Jan
15,1966 coup or was he d one dat caused d Igbo massacre in d North
Sept 1966.....He advised Gowon on how to end d war,after d war he
resigned from his post......Achebe failed to point out T.Y Danjuma who
masterminded d massacre of igbos after he killed Ironsi & Fajuyi
So many books had been written concerning dis civil war.....of which
Madiebo's book stated dat shortage of weapons and lack of support
from international community contributed to d collapse of Biafra.
Enough of this tribal insult between Yoruba and Igbo on Nairaland
it won't solve any problem....the North caused most of d problems
we are facing today......d way forward is wot we should thinking of

It seems you are purely disconnected from reality of life when you foolishly attempted to compare Jenifer Lopez’s clowning acts with literary works of Chinua Achebe. I do not think you could be helped. Awolowo should have used the word-irredeemable on you. I called up Soyinka’s name so that a sake of hammers such you should realize Biafra was not triviality.

To be honest I dislike people like you. What has the NORTH bleeping DONE AGAIN ?

Is it the north that forced Igbos into this union without a clause ?

Please know you history, stop blaming the north for everything.

Why the explanation? Does he have Igbo blood flowing in him? If yes, that defeats the trash you put up there.

I know it's really painful to realise afterall that someone sees the hype as nothing more than what it is, a trash. If "clowning" fetches more fame, more money than your so called copy and paste literary works, what else is there again? It's only an Efulefu that calls singing clowning.

Nwachukwu name was also apt to explain that the war wasn't a joke on the Nigerian side as well.

where do you think this statement is taken from " Nigeria is just a mere geographical expression" ?
Google is your friend

Awolowo was a lawyer and got to the pinnacle (SAN) of his profession before he passed away.

You don't get it. Everyone can not be a writer. Why is Achebe not a surgeon?
You choose a profession for whatever reasons. But we judge you based on your output. Achebe output is disppointing, shameful and nothing to write home about.

Achebe is nothing more than David Beckham in football. He was over hyped by the British but ended up not winning a single worthwhile award.
Why? Because the world saw through the propaganda. Achebe is thoroughly and completely over hyped.

North did not cause d all d problems of Nigeria,some are caused by
other ethnic groups who also have there own share of d blame......
D 1st coup in Nigeria in Jan 15,1966 was Igbos dominated....dat coup

David Beckham is still the golden boy of world football, the guy only need to turn up and sit on the bench to pull a full stadium. Achebe is the golden man of ancient african historical writings, that is how its going to be till the end of the world.
