demmy: Meanwhile more people continue to vote for Achebe into the Hall of Shame.

Aigbofa:

The problem is not that you mention Biafra. You mention Biafra, and then blame everything that happened there on Yoruba and Awolowo in particular. Biafra is ancient history to most Yorubas, it's done, it's over. Ibos are the ones who stuck in Biafra and can't seem to move on. Even Achebe is perpetually stuck in the 60s

Don't think for a minute you can heap insults on Yorubas for your own misadventure and not expect a response. This is how what you call tribalism started on Nairaland. If it wasn't Nairaland it would be another website. The key is that you all move on and tell Achebe to stop writing garbage and stop reopening old wounds.

demmy:

Nonsense. Achebe is not the only Nigerian who experienced personal loss or whatever. We expected a person of his caliber to know better.

Dede1:


I am not surprised you subscribed to the crap above to rebut the fact that mere mention of Biafra on Nairaland tends to jumpstart inherent tribalism in a Yoruba peep. It is very silly for anyone to arrogate sense of blame when human event such as Nigeria/Biafra war is recounted. The dingbats who assumed that they are being blamed in such narrative accounts need to do a soul search.

It is very childish for a person to accuse Achebe of being stuck in 60s because he, Achebe, tends to narrate recorded events. I guess anybody who attempts to recount the amalgamation of the protectorates must be stuck in 10s.

Aigbofa:

I assume you are a catholic. Don't you believe another fellow that died and rose up after three days and then ascended to the sky?

Talk of being rational!

Dede1:


Do you think I am in a class of drunken and idiotic fools to believe the above conjectural crap? No wonder Yoruba peeps are twisted out of human form real account of human events by Achebe

afam4eva:
That's my point exactly. You would hear of Linda Ikeji and Bella Naija on TV and Radio stations but not Nairaland. Why? This is a question the owners of this site need to start asking themselves.

gratiaeo:
A person of his caliber that ll swallow truth and die? Or do you think that Achebe him self cares about people like you with low IQ before writing his memoir? The man is an icon which you ll never be even in your dream

Aigbofa:

He is stuck in the sense that he narrates such events not as matter of history. He does so with venom, with hate, lies and without any sense of shame and the part he himself took in the whole saga.

Dede1:


It is safe to deduce that Yoruba peeps would rather believe bunch of falsehood than simple truth. I can not fathom how you discern sense of venom, hate and lie from Achebe’s narrative accounts of what transpired in Biafra. I have read the book and did dictate an iota of caustic phrase used by Achebe. In addition, nitwits who seemed to call Achebe names were not presence in Biafra during the war.

In addition, Awolowo never denied the policy of starvation by Nigerian government.

Aigbofa:

That would be like 90% of ibos. So, do you think most ibos are drunken, idiotic fools for believing Jesus ascended to the sky?

Sincere 9gerian: I've always had the suspicion that NL has been hijacked by Yoruba and ACN cabal. Nothing confirms this suspicion more than the appearance of Prof Achebe's name on ACN/Yoruba hall of shame.

Dede1:

I am not surprised you arrived at the above conjecture. You must be a super human to know certain percentile of the belief on the conjectural crap by Ndigbo. This is not the first time a Yoruba peep has arrogated such spiritual knowledge to him\her self.

Geomac: Nyamri vs Yoruba

Aigbofa:

Come of it! We all know most Ibos are Catholics, there's nothing bad in that. Your problem is that you cannot reconcile Yoruba believe in Oduduwa falling from the sky with Jesus ascending to the sky.

Tusky44:

The reason is simply because this site is run and controlled by the dirty brigade of ofenman*s with their tribal marked face and very bad body odour. Achebe is a hero and it will continue to pepper the bunch of oloshi black pigs in the SW

Aigbofa:

Achebe was a party to the whole mess. He is in not in a position to question the motive of anybody involved in the war. He did what he had to do, like using images of dead and dying children as a prop for his propaganda war. And people on the federal side did what they had to do.
Trying to call Awo's motive into question was a great miscalculation on his part.

Tusky44: ^^^

Oh so you mean you agree your tribal marked gays and ngbatis are proud of it? What a useless amala you are. Come on get out of here b4 i damage you irrecoverably.

Aigbofa:

I knew it will get to a point where European\Roman religious myth will be equated to Igbo religious myth. You started off by revealing my frustration over Yoruba creational myth to none Igbo. Suddenly, you find a way to join Igbo to Roman’s religious myth.

Aigbofa:

Now it is Roman religious myth? Am sure it doesn't look like that in Churches across Igboland today. And next time you want to talk about Oduduwa, remember there are millions of your people who pray daily to a fellow that ascended to the sky, just like Oduduwa decended from the sky.

dayokanu:

Havent majority of Ibos adopted this Roman myth?

We hear Ibos are from Jews so its also Jewish history that God created a man from clay
