Deage: Achebe is only saying the truth. The yorubas are the only reason igbos didn't clearly win the civil war. Awolowo knew this, and I believe that is what Achebe is trying to point out. If igbos hadn't been sabotaged on our way to Lagos, I believe history would have had a new twist. Why did iboz sabotage Adekunle on his way to iboland to liberate the iboz from ojuku's deathly grip?? Why did they sabotage Muritala on his way to capture Onitsha? 1 Like |

I don't think Awolowo deserves Achebe's time. A man that died by rope as a result of accumulated curse? The foool took his own life because he was avoiding hearing the truth over his involvement in anything that was called crime ranging from genocide to military coup and finally suicide. A failure indeed! 3 Likes |

Wislet: lol. Romance, ehn? Of course na...at least Hausas showed them a bit of what they can do to them in june 12 1992. Despite the fact that the victim even shared the same religious faith with them, they told him TO HELL WITH YOU, like they always tell them that they (Yoruba) are fake ...ims, yet they refuse to learn their lesson. Nigeria can only witness true progress, development & peace when Northerners stop being domineering & desperate to hold power & to force every other citizens to worship God in their own way. If at all they want to rule themselves forever & practice their religion without interference, let them declare their solemn interest to be their own separate nation & see if Ndigbo won't host a big farewell party for them & even dash them properties to start life with 4 Likes |

Don't worry. We are catching up real fast. Even with the civil war, we are still nt shaken. Our borther is the current president of nigeria by default....in 8 yrs we wud surpass yorubas and hausas dat hv deliberately supressed us economically since 1970 alaoeri: When 'll these Igbos stop ranting over spilled milk & find meaningful things to do afterall if they keepon ranting its doesn't change anything they are still behind yoruba tribe. |

If what Achebe wrote is the TRUTH, then why shouldn't he tell the TRUTH? Why do some persons want him to hide the TRUTH? That someone says it as it is does not mean the person is still ANGRY or BITTER. The TRUTH is the TRUTH and the TRUTH can never be late in coming. So SORRY if it offended some Yoruba persons or any other person but the TRUTH should not be withheld because it will offend some persons. Again the TRUTH may be RIGHT or WRONG depending on your side of the divide or your understanding of issues. To some persons it is right to use starvation as weapon of war but to others it is an ATROCIOUS act. In the opinion of Achebe and some other persons, it is WRONG but in the opinion of others, including the Late Chief Awo, it is RIGHT. Such is life. But bottom line is was starvation used as weapon of war during the Nigerian civil war? Yes! Was Late Awo the driver of such policy? Yes! Was late Awo interested in becoming president of Nigeria after decimating the 'enemy'? Yes! Was Achebe right in documenting these TRUTHS in his book for posterity sake? I think yes. FOR THE INFORMATION OF ALL, not ALL weapons of war are acceptable or 'fair'. That is the reason you have the Red Cross and UN to deliver food to the civilian population even in the period of war. Also it is unacceptable to use certain cluster bombs during war or bomb certain targets during war. Again Igbos did not declare war on Nig rather it was Nigeria that attacked Igbo homeland after the east seceded due to massacre of Igbos in the north Awolowo/Gowon should be held and tried for Genocide! 6 Likes |

Some Folks can talk a lot of crap, but when people retaliate, they start crying. It's like he's blaming Awolowo for having the intelligence to win the war. War is a sad and bloody business, granted. Therefore, only those who are fully ready to bear the consequences should venture into it. Don't start crying pathetically that the other side was more strategic and tactical. I'm embarassed for Achebe. 1 Like |

Whether we like it or not, Prof. Chinua Achebe will still be the most Influential Nigerian alive. His books live forever, and this one will stay a long long time. Generations unborn will get a complete picture of who Awolowo was behind those round glasses. A heartless Murderer. There's nothing anybody can do about it. Not me, Not You, not the president and Not even Achebe. Goodluck with the Insults. 'There was a Country' is Already a best-seller. 3 Likes |
