And you claim to have been through primary school? Pathetic!

What a lame response? You're drooling over a simple typo? Whether it is proove or prove or even proof what matters is the message being passed across. If you want to show your prowess in the use of English language may be you can create a thread for that and invite me over. You claimed 'billions'read ashebe's book yet you have no evidence to back this up. Instead of drooling over my typing error why not provide a reply to my post?

You should have started a revolution, if you are brave enough, and guess what, it will consume OBJ and IBB first.

You cannot even spell "Achebe" correctly and you are here talking? I will not create a new English topic, what's the point in using a sledge hammer to kill a common houseflygrin
Seriously you need to read Chinua Achebe's books, the man tried to cure illiteracy and stupidity, you need a dose of his medicine.

'' O'Cornell argues that the lack of constitutionalism and disregard for rule of law fuel psychology of insecurities in all ethnic groups. He fingers as an inevitable cause of our national instability, Nigerians’ “failure to find an identity and loyalty beyond their primordial communities that lead them constantly to choose their fellow workers, political and administrative, from the same community, ignoring considerations of merit.” ''

This is the genesis of corruption, bigotry and the current chaos that plagues Nigeria today. Secession is not the answer!

See how much you tried to avoid providing an answer to my question? Is ashebe an English name? And what is so difficult in his name to spell? I'll spell his name in any manner I deem fit for the purpose of this forum.
Now answer the question provide evidence of these 'billions' that read ashebe's book or shut up! You think you can come over to this thread to make ridiculous claim about the achievements of your fictional writer?

If you think Achebe is not an English word, try google search. If wikipedia can spell it correctly and you cannot, then you need to learn Latingrin

That state has standard hospitals, UNTH, Parklane and Niger Foundation with foreign doctors, go and check. And I find nothong wrong with a citizen who can pay for his medical bills to be forced to take treatment at home just because he is governor, where is his fundamental human rights?
And you, yes you, has anybody ever forced you to take treatment in any place you don't like? How did you feel afterwards?

See you life in the open! So you cannot even spell 'nothing'

The hypocrisy of it is that he makes the same mistakes himself, I will understand his stand if this thread is all about our knowledge of English language. His actions are purely an attempt to avoid accepting the fact that his assertion about Achebe's sucess was totally wrong and just a mere exaggeration.

The typo is glaring in this case because he is talking about a literary god. You are immature if you think I am immature.

For the sake of your half life, you could have avoided the bolded in your post. I guess O’Cornell could be Scottish or Irish. The people of his\her primordial communities have sought or have intention to seek loyalty toward a nation state which will engender national stability. The French, Italians, Germans, Russians, English and many other European ethnicities sought national stability by finding a common channel of loyalty.

Granted you are a typical Nigerian, I am not surprised you intentionally overlooked a post equated the call for consideration of merit to chest beating. To avoid the evitable bloody war, Nigeria and Nigerians should seriously consider the ways to disengage from the colonial contraption called Nigeria.

^^^I'm just starting to realise this as well.

Achebe has earned my respect a thousand times over with this book. By now peeps should realise Achebe is someone that speaks his mind and the truth no matter whose 'delicate' sensibilities are hurt. He's a legend!

'with this book he says' quote a page in the book if you have read it. at least if he earned your respect with it, there would have been something special in it to make him earn it.

There is no need to reach Demola Awoyokun for regurgitating the craps Nowa Omoigui has been forced to retract. It is very funny PWC Review has this lame fraud as executive editor. Believe me, if this joker named Damola Awoyokun is gainfully employed by PwC, that PricewaterhouseCooper, LLC, he\she is about to lose his\her job. There is no room in a the editorial staff of PwC for a plagiarist.
