ivynwa: sweet_gala: Speak for yourself dude and let others speak for themselves. When christians were bombed plenty times in the past, I speak against the massacre of christians in threads here. The recent one was clearly directed at the southerners. I mean even Soyinka and others saw that clearly https://www.nairaland.com/1234292/kano-bombing-may-caused-achebes. Are you angry that I did not include your people? People like you keep quiet in the face of this tyranny going on because none of their friends and families have been affected and when they see others react to it, they attack them maliciously. You are not feeling it like I am feeling it, if you are you will be speaking out against this wickedness. Make we dey do siddon dey look and be watching this country crumble like cookies. 1 Like |

Aigbofa: No, obviously, but people that can't control their urge to hate anything and everything different should make efforts in times like this. |

biolabee: Without a shadow of any doubt. My conviction on that is solid. The politics of the day and the Akintola incident destroyed what could have been. |

Ivynwa: You speak as thou you know the content of every man's heart. I know how I feel when I hear of tragedy, of the daily bombings and terrorism carried out by BH. I pray for that country I weep ,I yearn to be in a position to do something about it but I can't , all I can contribute is my voice with all honesty and without prejudice. Being a keyboard warrior here on NL and inviting people to hatred and tribalism a virus eating Nigeria away from within cannot solve the problem. You accuse me of turning the other cheek but I'm just being smart. A wise owl says little but sees all. Are you ignorant of the fact that there are Christian northerners and Muslim northerners who have been slaughtered by BH. Yes the largely Igbo populated area was attacked but does that change the fact BH are a national menace. They are not a igbo only menace. |

I can’t say I've read any of Mr. Achebe’s novels. We just weren't tuned that way when I was growing up. But I have read quite a bit about him in my adult years. It’s heartening to see an outpouring of love and respect for him personally, and for his global achievements by his fellow litterateurs. |

sweet_gala: Somebody made a statement, you took offense that she did not include your people and went on making tribalist statements about the Igbo. You later turned around to accuse the person of tribalism. #Ridiculousness There is no Nigerian that does not know that BH has killed Christians from other parts of the country, why do you have a problem that I mentioned the recent one that targeted South-Easterners? I guess we Igbos should be keeping mute and silent in the face of all the tyranny to make people like you happy huh. You lot are going about on threads hating on the Igbos after which you turn around, make tribal comments and attack me that I should have hanged my hand on your shoulder to condemn the ones oppressing Nigeria. |
