MDCCCXXXII: Ask the minorities in the old Biafra what they went through during the war, at the hands of the Biafran soldiers. Also ask the non-Igbo people of the old Mid-west region about their experience during the war, when the Biafran forces overran their territory. |

Its just my perception . After all no one knows exactly a first hand war experience in our generation. If you have read the book you will understand that really indeed she is a great writer. You have no idea how i feel know is still Kainene is missing bukynkwuenu: |

The war ending itself was a happy ending, its marked the end of tragedy and starvation. dmltoyin: |

If you have read this book you will never sound this way trust me. I know the love story of Shakespeare's romeo and juliet for the record and its nothing compared to this book in context. Drabeey: |

bukynkwuenu: I think u should say dats y biafra shouldn't be at all. Cos d call for d emancipation of Biafra was actually d cos. Before den d Igbos lived in peace and tranquillity. My opinion though |

You have no idea because you dont read your history. Do you know what led to the war in the first place? cnonyechi: |
Re: My Take On Chimamanda "Half Of A Yellow Sun" Does Anyone Feel The Same Way To? by oyalunasamuel(m): 7:49pm On Apr 30, 2017 |
you are right. I will never read any of her books again for this reason. I dont want anything stressing my emotions. But for God sake, i kept wondering how could she ever do that. lol... Honestly its a very beautiful book. and I feel the history should be told. Joey82: |

oyalunasamuel:yeah, true But it left scars in the heart of people People lost their loveed ones, lost valuables and properties they have worked hard to acquire. It is still a tragedy till today to people who lost irredeemable things. The remains of that civil war is kindaff regenerating thats why some set of ppl are still agitating for what caused the war back then (what they refer to as their right to freedom) My thoughts |

donproject: Are you referring to my mention or my signature? Well, if you are referring to my signature, whether chronological age or mental age, I find it difficult relating with kids. |

padiga047:I'm sure you have no idea what you're talking about, that's why you decide to consult nonsense to console yourself. 2)A Major is a soldier, Adewale was a never a platoon or even a brigade commander, he was a mere servant who obeyed instructions.A mere servant? A major isn't a soldier? What manner of nonsense are you spewing? Honestly, you're starting to show signs of delusions because if a Major isn't a soldier, then I believe you're a nonentity cos you just proved you know nothing about the military. 3)Adewale fought in the Nigerian liberation army as a subordinate to lieutenant. Col. Banjo. He was not one of the major decision takers or an inner caucus member.LMAO! Again you show you know nothing, like absolutely nothing. A man you said isn't a soldier how can he now be a subordinate to a soldier? Does it make sense to you? 4)Tell me another set of people who suffered starvation, mass genocide and sheer brutality during the war(smh)The minority groups who occupy the south south part of Nigeria. 5)Go and do your research.From the above I believe you're the one who need to do proper research cos you've shown you know absolutely nothing and your ignorance stinks more than the faeces of an Infant child. |

glossy6: don't think I'm a kid trying to get attention. But I want to know why you could say such, that is what I hate to like about you ladies. |

donproject: Do you have problems understand English? Where did I refer to you as an attention seeking kid? Well, we have kids in this forum, whether chronological or not and I am unwilling to be dragged into controversy with them. |
