if i had brought down Soyinka in dat post, then it was largely unintentional. And d whites and blacks (like me) dat honor Achebe dont have Soyinka in mind.
Your ppl were the ones that said Soyinka carried placards and was even jailed for activism which are his own way of contributing to Nig devt and i say its nonsense/ineffective.

Seriously, y will a hater put up a thread like dis? See, U dont use every topic to sell tribalism, cos whoever opened this thread just showed how ignorant he is abt wat literature can do and wat Achebe's lit actually did.
. D whites must have sworn Africa cant have a Shakespearan counterpart here but he proved dem wrong. He worked beyond Nig devt, yes, african devt.
Again, d fact that u and ur fellow yorubas decided to be his only useless critics in dis world is your own biz not mine/ours. Awo himself never denied starvation n 20 pounds policy bfr killing himself, so wetin cum dey worry una sef?

Like i said, i shd be surprised if ur pipz say anytn positive. 2moro, u will ask wat nollywood, Super Eagles, Philip Emeagwali did for Nig devt. My smart boyfriend,igbos no dey play local games. Na Achebe go cum build road for u.
Meanwhile, weda am still in kindergarten is not d issue here.

Lol, let's look over some things in your post shall we?

1st bolded, what do you mean LARGELY unintentional? You mean to abuse him but just a little abi? grin

2nd bolded, how is actively taking part in demanding for social change ineffective? Were you still very young when Turai wouldn't allow GEJ take the reins of affair? Do you realize the amount of work soyinka put in to see justice is done?
Were you so little when soyinka gave voice to that electoral officer madam that declared that rigging at taken place at the 2011 polls? Ineffective? O serious!

3rd bolded: So, you feel okay with insulting Awolowo ba? And you don't expect some smittering on your uncle Achebe? Lols! That's called hypocrisy my young little miss.
Also, can you provide proof that an already old Awolowo committed suicide? If you've been lying about this, I might curse you with the same eventuality you're trying to use to kill the man's memory!

4th bolded: now these is really funny! So, ibos are the owners of nollywood and super eagles ba? You've got to be joking! Abi your dstv bouquet no complete?
And super eagles is yours? Hehehehe, you've got jokes girlfriend.

5th bolded: its very essential I know if you're in the kindergartin or not! If you gon be my GF I should know if you're underaged cheesy
On a serious note though, you should stop trying to insult our intelligence here, Achebe is a great writer and a very proud ibo man, but a Nigerian? I'm not too sure about that!

mainman7: LOL!!!!!!!!!!! grin grin grin Ol' Boy U fit kill person with laughter O! Indeed, he's obviously a very useless man, rather than bring unity, he caused more bad blood and sowed an evil seed, indeed a wolf in a sheep's clothing. He made Afenifere, OPC, Yoruba Youth Congress and all Yoruba federation world-wide to come together and really start preparing like never before. Before achebe's comment, the Yorubas were almost totally trusting the igbos. The myopic achebe blamed Awo for a war that would not have happened at all if the igbos were not overtly selfish.

This goes to show how empty some peoples brains are!
I asked for evidence you are quoting this nonsense! Let me ask you, is ABDULMUMINI ADEKU the coronor that examined awo's body upon death or is he a mortician?

Who plans a coup and make a video of it and then still circulate it? Seriously only someone like you can believe this type of nonsense.

This is just a beer parlour talk!

How old were you in 1993? And who was Abacha and Gowon's sidekicks and who want to be Buhari sidekick in 2015? think first before you say all this things.

You are absolutely correct on the fact that ashebe is nothing more than a ibo biafran. And that's all to him. So let the ibo biafran carry his crippled corpse and bury him in the evil forest like okonkwo his grandfather.

You are also absolutely correct that he doesn't owe yorubas any farthen, just like Awo did not owe biafrans any farthen by taking the most pragmatic decisions to end the Nigerian civil war quickly and bring your silly little republic to it's knees. One wonders then why ashebe was so bitter about that? I am sure he would do worse if he had the chance considering the volume of bitterness in his patently deranged psyche.


That's harsh!I think his last book is full of half-truths but the man was a great writer and was more than a 'mere Biafran'.He also did a great thing by refusing the National Award.

This goes to show how empty some peoples brains are!
I asked for evidence you are quoting this nonsense! Let me ask you, is ABDULMUMINI ADEKU the coronor that examined awo's body upon death or is he a mortician?

Who plans a coup and make a video of it and then still circulate it? Seriously only someone like you can believe this type of nonsense.

This is just a beer parlour talk!
Try again, next time don't quote a non entity.


WHAT TYPES OF EVIDENCE YOU WANT ?

YOU HEARD ME NO NEED FOR INSULTS, YOUR FACE SAYS IT ALL.WHY THE TEARS ROLL DOWN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD…JUST TO AVOID YOUR FACE.AWOLOWO COMMITTED SUICIDE

THIS WAS A SECRET PARDON ME BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO HEAR THIS
SUCH HARSH TRUTHS SO EARLY IN THE MORNING CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE DIGESTION THAT AWOLOWO COMMITTED SUICIDE

ABDULMUMINI ADEKU SUPERVISED OR CONDUCTED THE PREPARATION BURIAL OF AWOLOWO AND ALSO A WISE A PUBLIC OFFICER WHOSE PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO INVESTIGATE AND EXTRACT INFORMATION'S BY INQUEST ANY DEATH THOUGHT TO BE OF OTHER THAN NATURAL CAUSES.

I've done a google search on this name, all I get is this same article being distributed on various social platforms by some ibo people!

Nothing whatsoever on the man who you now claim to be a physcian but according to the purported article was a soldier!

I just decided to grace your dumb skull with a response because of other people seeing this post, naturally you and whoever made all these up and distributing it are simply stuuupid and mischievious, not worthy of a second look.

When you biafran people are done with the war propaganda, let us know.

No he didn't. What we know however is that; Ojukwu died alone in a dingy London hospital, a sad lonely man while one Okonkwo was stoking the fire for his beloved Bianca.

The truth hurts and it hurts so bad. ACHEBE said the truth and it is hurting the yorubas so bad. Let the slowpoke go to google search box and type "yorubas are", i am sure he will have the answers to his numerous unanswered questions.

Everybody knows that Awolowo committed suicide, if not did he die with your father? It is perfectly okay for one Okonkwo to be stoking fire for his beloved Bianca than for OBASANJO to be stocking the fire on his son's wife, abomination.
