Lets be sincere with our selves, d war was one dat shudnt av been fought in d 1st place, its a wrong and premature one, but due to d arrogance and low wit of ojukwu he dtermined to take his whole tribe through fire, what Awolowo did in d war was what any person in hid shoes wud av done, i.e u dont expect foods or gifts from ur enemy during wartime remember the Trojan war and d greek gift....
however during d war and d obvious starvation and malnutrition dat lead to death of so many biafrans especially children, how many pple died in ojukwus household and dat of his officers? none cos dey were well fed and okay, they simply hoard food.
now why did achebe had to wait till ojukwu passed on before publishing this book, dont get me wrong, i respect dis man he is my model, but he has been known to be a tribalist more or less even a rascist to be sincere( prove me wrong). the biafra experience was a dream, a bad one, everyone involved on it has bad tales to tell today, why shud it all now count on what he remembers and thinks he needs to share?

Have you read Prof. Achebe's memoir? Why is this forum filled with re.tards?! Some of the issues you raised have been flogged to death on this forum. There was never a time during the war when Biafra requested for food aid from Nigeria! Nigeria did not feed Biafra during the war! Nigeria deliberately prevented the supply of foods and relief materials to the Biafra women and children from the Aid agencies! Starvation as an instrument of war has been outlawed worldwide even before the start of the 2nd world war. Awolowo could have done bette in his capacity! Yoruba lame attempts at justifying that shameful act will continue to form bad blood between the two tribes for generations to come. Starvation is a war crime! I bet that you are in your hyper-tribalistic mood because an excerpt from the memoir painted Awolowo in a rather compromising picture. Pls read the memoir first.

no need to read dis so called memoir if u all tribalists think it has some things to reveal... nada, accept it u failed and shud move on instead of bickering over a lost cause...... yes u begged for food, all d aids were been hijacked by rebel soldiers and didtributed to ibos of influence so Awolowo has to stop that..... an ibo man wud av done so too if the tides were turned..... there was neva a country called biafra...

@ OP - answer me sharp sharp! How is chinua achebe a tribalist?

lol have u eva read any of his works? u will knw he got no goodwill for this entity called nigeria, and if u dont knw, he was d mastermind behind the 1st millitary coup usually attributed to kaduna nzeogwu..... he is as well a rascist

Have you read his masterpiece, "The trouble with Nigeria"?

so u as well agree he is tribalist, he aint the only one who got or knows d problem with nigeria, wole soyinka does and has neva talked about breaking away, he even fought against it and was imprisoned.

I checked on your profile. Omo, you look like a malnourished boy from the famine affected areas of East Africa. You know, when you are a loser in life, you tends to hate more. I'm well aware that frustrated folks like you tends to embrace tribalism to mastu.rbate their fantasy. Sorry my dear. Do deserves our pity.

you see ur life? must eveyone look chubby to please u, can u see dat u r so mentally ill? wat has my looks got to do wit my mental ability? u see u hve no case? so u want an easy way out by attacking my personality (typical).
inbred.

Achebe should drop all this biafra talk dat is not the type of writer he is.

You are not making sense. You accused Chinua Achebe of tribalism but failed to come forth with proof to support your comment. How is he a tribalist? I can see that engaging you is just like engaging a log of wood. Your anaemic self has affected your reasoning. Treat your malnutrition and anaemia before coming to the public forum to debate.

jidestar: Achebe should drop all this biafra talk dat is not the type of writer he is.

See, there is a difference between a memoir and a book. You guys are plain stupld! He published his memoir. You expect him not to publish his memoir for the fear of offending folks like you? No! He is brave and never afraid to air his opinion. Deal with it.

It distorts my mental balance when I hear certain screwballs attempt to equate the idea of disintegration of Nigeria to act of tribalism. The best to happen to people who presently occupy the acreage called Nigeria is to go their separate ways. A simple call to have international airline operators in Nigeria to fully utilize the resources in airports other than Lagos and Abuja turned into tribal contest.

will you stfu with your ignorance. Biafra wants to break away because we have no similarities nor identity with moslem abokis and confused amala (christian/moslem) Yoruba people. you can have your presidency.


why not concentrate on your amala eating contest and quit starting threads you know nothing about

on whose side did ojukwu fought durin d 1st millitary coup? hausas(N.A) or igbo(coupists)? he fought to keep d country together but later fell out cos he felt cheated, yes or no?
one of d reasons ojukwu was at loggerheads wit d fed govt was cos gowon was his junior, true or false? which means he very much wanted to become d next head of state if brig ogundipe wont be....
he made himself biafran warlord but fear for his life cos pple like banjo, ifeajuna, alale, agbam, kaduna are around, did he get rid of dem or not?
the nigeria he once fought to unite and later to divide cos he was shortchanged, he later wanted to rule( power freak?), if yorubas r d only corrupt nigerians, what facilitated his(ojukwus) rapid promotion among d rank and file of the N.A do u own it to his education? aint it cos of his fathers wealth? yes or no?
How did ojukwu later came to recover all his properties in lagos after d war inspite of d former biafran populace? if yorubas are thieves n d most corrupt, why did it happen, yet u pple say yorubas gained economically durin and after the war? dont always be tribalistic in thinking, war aint fair and will never be.
