One of our problems in Nigeria is that we don't read, if someone cannot read this small article tell me how he can read some voluminous books, little wonder they say 'if you want to hide something from a black man put it in a book'. Dedicated to those who don't need to read this wonderful piece on the claim that it is too much 4 Likes |

Chubhie: Nigerians have been generating their own electricity and providing their own pipe bore water individually without Government. Now, imagine what we could all achieve collectively? We have the abundant resources and manpower to match. With these, you will agree with me that we should be robbing it off with the likes of Russian and USA and not struggling with govt promising to construct roads and build fourth mainland and second niger bridges! Our corrupt leaders only make it appear far fetched but in reality it is within reach.Did you just mention Nigerian robbing filthy shoulders with USA if their so-called resources is well utilised? My friend, stop giving yourself and fellow clueless Nigerians unrealistic hope. You could have at least mention South Africa. Bunch of crap! |

blackprowler: My gut feeling has moved to disliking her. She's being given more attention than she deserves by the nigerian press. She's not the only nigerian author. Other Nigerian authors have won more prestigious literary awards than her. Winning the greatest literary award doesn't make you authority over any other subject but the one you know. We have suffered enough mumuness inthis country. I started to see her true self when she commented on Achebe's ill-informed, prejudiced last book. My view on her has subsequently been confirmed by me: she's the younger version of Achebe, all with ethnic bias. You mean it ? |

Chimamanda addressed the core problem with this Jonathan administration: the people around this man will kill him one day. They are misleading him and making enemies for him by the boatload, daily. They were not there when Jona was president-in-limbo but now they are his best friends. These vultures have shifted focus from governance to obsession about Tinubu and "supporter of APC" party, and that's the excuse they give for all their failures. I am surprised that Chimamanda, being Igbo, could write something like this. This is because Igbo as a whole are completely detached from reality and they are the ones who will kill Jonathan. They've turned the man into a paranoid wreck, always looking for imaginary witches and wizards from the North and West. Wow! I guess others Igbos would label her "supporter of APC" party member now. Perhaps, she is Tinubu's mistress! |

The few igbo touts on this forum shouldn't be seen as a representation of the Igbo nation. They have so many intelligent young folks. Best way to identify the intelligent ones? They are mostly quiet and very reserved. |

blackprowler: Note that she's safely in America and taking positions which don't cause her any headache with her kith and kin. To my knowledge, she's won Orange Prize. Ben Okri won Booker Prize and he's so quiet most Nigerians don't know him. If Achebe, Soyinka, let alone Chimamanda were not African, hardly would anyone hear of them. They were "great" as Africans. Hope you know when Soyinka was given the Nobel, it was a choice between himself and Achebe. In other words, it had been "zoned" to Africa and maybe Nigeria. Achebe's book sold 10 million which was "wonderful" by African authors' standards, absolutely nothing to world standards. I'm not dissing anybody. I've not achieved anything in my life, but I look at things from a world point of view, not a narrow one, like tribe, country, continent, race etc. That's why people attack me for my criticism of Nigeria, Africa and black manYou know, you practically kept ranting without making a point. According to your estimation, she has to have won the Booker prize before she can start 'taking positions'? Say something that fits your age please. It seems to me you're determined to hate everything Nigerian and African by extension. But here is the deal, every Nigerian has the right to take a position on real Nigerian issues as long as they're Nigerians. And just incase it hasn't occurred to you yet, the world is a global village. People know what they want to know. 1 Like |
