It is funny how the entire western Nigeria has been struggling to discredit the great works of a great literary giant with funny write ups like this one. I know more will be written but the truth has since been exposed, moral of the story, you cannot back stab another person and expect him to forget it. Good work Achebe. 1 Like |

I know more will be written but the truth has since been exposed, moral of the story, you cannot back stab another person and expect him to forget it. Good work Achebe. Enough detailed and factual rebuttals have been written to consign the falsehood published as memoir to dustbin of history. The book can not be referenced now without this statement: Several accounts in the book are disputed. A book with such a caveat cannot be authoritative which in any case has turned the memoir to a worthless piece of paper. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Damn so some people from that region of Nigeria are still crying about this book. Do they not realize they single handily promoted the book more than any other groups? ROFLMFAO. I bought the book simply to know what the hoolah is about but learned alot about Biafra. How many months have it been and they still crying and bitching. Women with d1cks I tell ya. Na wa oo. Well, man no go cry. Igbos have been trying to spread the story of Biafra so Yoruba thank you in a way for doing that. More write-up of their own version of "the truth" so "there was a country" can continue to spread. We all gathered and greet "DALU!!!!!" Long Live Chinua Achebe and Long live "There is a country" Go get your own "There is a country" by Chinua Achebe if you have not gotten it. That is my reply for this sh1t of a rebuttal by some unknown to the great Achebe, not worth reading or even analyzing. 5 Likes |

7842I: No one is crying like babies and no one is useless (or ma be your father is) the book is being disputed because: 1. It is full of lies 2. It is capable of misinforming the young generation many of whom are very lazy to read or make their on research 3. It is cheap propaganda and any cheap propaganda like such should be discredited to prevent it from sending the wrong message Finally, rather than mourning and throwing tantrum simply read the article and come up with your facts to disprove them or shut up. 8 Likes |

7842I:  I agree he's an intellectual god alright. You have to be some sort of intellectual god to fabricate stories to mislead millions the way he has done it. However, on a serious note, the main point I got from this article is that, Achebe is almost as culpable as Ojukwu for the waste of plenty of Igbo lives in the failed war. He was part of the inner caucus "yes men" Ojukwu surrounded himself with, as pointed out by the writer and Achebe himself. Their short-sighted and highly mono-coloured elitist world view led to the unnecessary death of many "common" people, Biafrans and Nigerians alike. That same parochial view is what he has translated into his delusional memoir to mislead many more and fan the embers of their failed ambition. 5 Likes |
