Caseless: I doubt that since I'm a WAILER and you are a "Z**bie".. It might be really hard for us to continue to agree.. Since I am yet to discover one good thing about Bubu's leadership style and you are already counting your eggs on this regime.. Am I right? 2 Likes |

Frankiss44: It was worse back in the day. Shoyinka and Achebe were two highly intellectual individuals who knew better, so they don't count. Educaction and exposure makes you think rationally. The majority of Nigerians were mostly illiterates and the mistrust, especially between the Yorubas and Igbos, was deep. The average igbo man blamed their loss of the war on the yorubas. |

doublewisdom:Really? I've never seen anyone lost sense with reality as this. Are you talking about same Soyinka and Achebe we all know? Achebe I know died trying hard to make himself recognised. It is on record that he was the only African writer that didn't offer as much as a congratulatory message to Soyinka when he won the Nobel prize. In one word, he died of envy! "Father of African literature", what mangoe tree award is that? This Igbo people sha, always the same and so shall ever be. The same way they are going about getting Jonathan "international recognition". I laugh in Chinese 6 Likes 1 Share |
