here lies the crux of the matter....
achebe knows what the truth is.....why lie to score cheap brownie points? he had a rare chance to put this matter to bed. he had a rare opportunity to encourage nigeria's unity with his outstanding penmanship but he is still beating the drums of war and stoking the fire of bigotry/tribalism!

for that alone, he is by far the worst nigerian in 2012. worse than aluu killers.

afam4eva:
How does this address the starvation policy? isn't that want the man hunt for Achebe's head is centered on?

lagcity: Hey guys, enough of all these. My Yoruba bros, let us work toward having a state called Awo. It is the most logical thing in the world; how come we haven't done that decades after Awo's death?

shymexx:
Word!!

And at a time when the country needs someone in his position to champion that elusive unity - he blew it!!

shymexx:



That will cause more divisions...

shymexx:

Bro., why do you keep referencing the starvation policy??

It was an air blockade and collateral damage..

afam4eva:
So, what's you accusation against Achebe again?

ballabriggs:

Another m0r0n. A trash like you puts him on a so-called "Hall of Shame".

Achebe can do without m0r0ns like you.

afam4eva:
So, what's you accusation against Achebe again?

coogar:

he's a white elephant liar.......

shymexx:

He said: "Awolowo wanted power for himself and his Yoruba people."

afam4eva:
Isn't it common sense?

Awo was a tribal leader of some sort so to the eye of the average easterner, it would mean that. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. At least we'll never know that. That's why it's a personal opinion. That's something you guys have to deal with.

coogar:

so awo being a tribal leader wanted to lead the eastern region or what the heck are you talking about? afam's brains have gone back to making the usual 21-fart salute!

Sincere 9gerian: I'v read thru some comments and seen the argument go back and forth. This arguement can continue forever with no side willing to admit anything. However, two factors VINDICATE the Igbos and Achebe.

1)One is the ROT that Nigeria is today. With the loose federal structure(the Aburi Accord) proposed by Ojukwu would have made Nig see much more progress

2) the fact that Nig will sooner or later disintegrate to pieces

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.

basisop: Shame on Jarus!

Baby mama: Sofry sofry o
Prof Achebe speaks on the world stage his henemies speak on Nairaland and Osun defender
Levels

Andre Uweh: What Prof Achebe published recently was just a memoir-his personal account of what he saw juring the war. He hasn't written a book about the war.
Anyway, just wait for Col Achuzia's publication coming out soon.

And the best response from the henemies is on Nairaland
Hehehehehehehehe!!!!!
No be to publish a memoir in response?
Shame don catch me for dem wallahi

Most of the who chat crap here have not read the memoir. Their attitude is very nonsensical.
