Is that all ? Surly you have some more so tell us

The ability for your region to be muliti-ethnic shows the mind set and progress of your people.

There is not advance country, region, place, community and town in the world that is not muliti-ethnic and plans to progress.

Yes you build better houses, have better cars etc but can you call those places your place ? The answer is NO if your are truthful to yourself.

Houses would fade away so would cars but what legacy have you left for your unborn generations ? HATE, DISTRUST OTHERS ETC Just as your fathers have impacted into you all. I mean see the rubbish some of you are typing ?

Please MR litrate, wats the meaning of a 1 nigeria?

Abi una wan ban us from coming to lagos to turn sum of ur brothers our houseboys? lollll, i love 1 nigeria, is fun

bashr8: we make it everywhere igboland ,yorubaland, hausaland, it comes with being at the top of the food chain.

errr Iunno bout that one. Igbo choose to live outside igboland for their own benefit. But what is in Igboland for non igbos? If it were attractive many non igbos would live in igboland.

But cameroonians dont even live in igboland, where as you find beninoise,togolese,ghanaian etc living in Oyo, Ogun, Lagos, and You find Chad,Nigeriens Malians in the north.

Chimanet: Abi una wan ban us from coming to lagos to turn sum of ur brothers our houseboys? lollll, i love 1 nigeria, is fun

Makes no sense. I would the majority ethnic group in the State to be the first line of employees. examples Americans maids butlers, are often hired by Russian billionaires. and when White people go to china they have chinese employees and when the chinese come to Nigeria they have Nigerian employees

What ever Achebe said is totally true because my grand dad told me same thing before this book came out. They know they history and if anything he said you find it offensive they should hug a transformer

bashr8: your a confused little boy , your the only one that dont know that biafran and international organisations where bringing in supplies in the middle of the night ,flying very low to avoid radar and dropping the supplies from the sky from where they are picked up and distributed. ignorance is a disease . biafra and russia supplied heavy arms and tanks to nigeria [/b]while [b]egypt took care of the airfoce which where responsible for bombing farms, redcross, hospitals, churches , its al on the internet slowpoke, it is known that britain supplied more weapons to nigeria than what what used during world war 2 , am fed up with your stupidity its no longer funny.

SMH I mean how can I take this man serious

your grandfathers connived with housa not to give our region infastructures so that thier wont be a fair ground economically in our own region, now we are in lagos and abuja doing better than the so called indigines that r waiting for sumbody to spoone feed them with all their so called education

For Real, Awolowo is in Hell Now

Chimanet: Abi una wan ban us from coming to lagos to turn sum of ur brothers our houseboys? lollll, i love 1 nigeria, is fun

LOL I dont know bout that one, Yorubas are pretty well off- They dont really lose money or investments outside their region and they are actually steadily increasing.

Hausas elite are WELL off in Abuja- no doubt about it.

how many northerners have you seen here calling Yoruba names.

Noiseless2: But just few weeks ago, a northerner spoke publicly on how the same man (awolowo)selfishly and shamelessly joined to fight against Biafra after being dangled with the promise of presidency if Biafra gets crushed. How come heaven didn't let loose by the Yorubas when the northerner made similar comment?

gbammmmm that's the spirit

So then you have to agree that Achebe is a bit off for trying to compromise the integrity of this one country

Just say schools in iboland, where you live in lies as if tomorrow will never come.

bashr8: abeg who knows when the book is coming out in nigeria, its a must read.i heard schools in nigeria and abroad are already making plans to add it to their syllabus

So for how long do u want to continue hiding these atrocities in house? provided one party is not to hapi with atrocities commited in its region, believe me we r not going to forge ahead

to further screw up the future of your children just as your own parents did to you.

solomon111: I got to order for that book immediately.
It should be one of my children's inheritance.

whitecat007: to further screw up the future of your children just as your own parents did to you.

yeap, in igboland we value our dead, so hw does that 1 concern u?

you can hate him all you want, what difference does it make, who do ibos love in the world?[quote author=priory][/quote]

ignoramus have you been to the south east? go and ask the non igbos living there including the yorubas what is in store for them .

Abeg na God bless igbos, please stop the hate. biko ni ndigbo, is wrong to come to kano and lagos with leather bags and after 8 years build a house, buy a nice car and marries a swt chick while your landlord son is still walking aimlesly around the street looking for who to hate?

I think you are new thus don't my position. First of all Achebe wrote a lie but regardless I could careless. We are working on it my brother.

whenever your caught lying you start preaching one nigeria, chameleon smh

whitecat007: you can hate him all you want, what difference does it make, who do ibos love in the world?

ask my ogojo and ijaw friend. they will tell you that yorubas can never love any good thing from anybody that doest speek yoruba atleast. no that that we r best but at least we r liberal and not too tribalistic in general

bashr8: whenever your caught lying you start preaching one nigeria, chameleon smh

Am no longer preaching one Nigeria CUZ YOU ALL DON'T WANT ONE NIGERIA. Imagine an old man like achebe writing things that are ethnocentric and shows hateful tribalism.

But if you want a split at least lets settle the issues at hand now first.

Not sure of the details, but there was clear indication of genocide against the Igbo tribe, even before the war broke out and this was the driving force for the declaration of the Biafra nation. Clearly any senior govt minister like awolowo may have given some genocidal advice,. Awo was not a saint. The family of awo should feel disappointed in their patriarch and apologise on his behalf.

Achebe only weaved history into his writings, the truth we all knew.

Well done my brother for pointing out the truth. leave sum of the yoruba boys that are neva straightfoward in thinking

You see that's the problem. No YORUBA would apologise to the Igbos. Forget it, it is a dream

A yoruba man reality is different from the rubbish you people write here. Even if they apologise for Ojukwu's mistake, would you forgive ?

bashr8: ignoramus have you been to the south east? go and ask the non igbos living there including the yorubas what is in store for them .

i DONT KNOW any non igbos living in the Southeast. scratches head even my igbo family dont live in the Southeast maybe like a few, even my efik people stay in calabar. Im just making an observation.

Majority of people dont see igboland as attractive, even igbos born outside igboland dont want to live their- is it my fault? There are more yorubas and hausas in Ghana than there is in igboland.

sorry if that angers you

but its the truth.

You A SSHOLE, you know he's not one sided.

Wislet: HAS ANY OF US HERE READ THE BOOK?
If you have, pls indicate.
I do not think Achebe would be one-sided in this tell-it-all book.
Let us at least READ IT before commenting.
Anybody that fights here will be punished.
