Airforce1: Who is prof chinua achebe please? Hey, why are you like this? You have been spamming this thread...don't you have something better to get your low life of a personality doing? Here is your answer. Albert Chinua Achebe was a renowned novelist and writer your father and his generations after, would never match 1/10th of his achievements. Mark my words....its not a curse, I'm only stating the obvious, pig!!!! 6 Likes |

[quote author=kingingkinging][/quote] @king, One was finance minister in Nigeria at the time the other was Minister of Information (propoganda) in Biafra. Contemporaries is not necessarily by age. They were contemporaries in this context. They were also contemporaries in their level of importance in Nigeria. The word 'contemporary' was properly used in my post. |

Truth be told, everything in LIFE is a RISK, the only safe and sure thing is DEATH.What do I mean? We hear things like you stand a 36% chance of cancer or 50 in 1000 die in heart transplants, we forget that 100 in 100 must die, whether old, young, pretty,rich, etc we all willl die. Everyone spends days of their life trying to postpone their death and elongate their lives and we all expect that playing safe is the key. RIP Sir.. |

Aringarosa: Bluetooth and the rest of the resident bigot, why don't you take a cue from Aunty Desola? It wouldn't do you any harm you know I wouldn't blame those who do not accord respect to Prof Achebe even at death. The simple reason is, Achebe too did same thing. He is only being paid back in the side of his coin. Releasing a book after 40 years of war to fan the ember of hatred in environment that is hostile already was a height of 'stupidity' ( pls forgive me for that). As an elder stateman. Every effort must be made to mend broken fences not to break more. He made that mistake and it is quite unfortunate. 1 Like |

Our Yansh: Exactly, Chinua Achebe became in his final days A hero of the Ibos, He could have earned for himself more honor as a Nigerian Hero, But he messed up the singular opportunity by his reminiscence of the long fratricidal warfare which has divided Nigerians. An history for which Ibos believed Yorubas are their enemies without proper counsel and historical facts. They roam around in Yoruba states doing business freely and Achebe dug out a lie in his “There was a Country” to confuse the Younger African and caused hatred before his demise Achebe is really the Hero of the Tribal Ibos 12 Likes |
