If we are to look at this issue politically- I only hope this is not some gameplan of gaining some sympathy for a certain tribe on the road to 2015? Remember how Obj came on board? Some northern interest have already been druming and bombing for 2012 from day one and now this game changer from the Prof........ My respect to those ploting and cashing in on the phychic of the Nigerian masses to further interests.......... To what end What is the motive Why now Who tends to profit from all this Lets all think for ourselves people. |

Nigerian people can you hear clearly. While u people where busy fighting FOOLISH civil war, Awolowo's daughter was in the U.S probably doing her masters or something. U guys should better grow brains. Awolowo ko Achebe ni. These people have lived their lives it's time you live urs. And like somebody said, arguing about what Awolowo did or didn't do is not adding anything to me. Nigerian politicians are and have always been the same. Bunch of selfish lying tricksters. And by the way I believe in no such thing as one Nigeria. Nigeria has neva been one. We're all a tribalistic set of pple. 1 Like |

nass07: Goshhhhhh!!! I like the igbo tribe, I like having them around. But when they start these their passionate hatred and lack of respect and love for other people I begin to wonder if am not making a huge mistake having unconditional love for my fellow sotherners.am yoruba, but then I hate to partake in all of these. Ndigbo do not hate Yorubas. Just that this is a painful moment of our history. The fact that some of your kinsmen are either denying of justifying it does not help matters. That act is an insult to the collective sensibility of Ndigbo. We must move on, but we are wary of being backstabbed by our fellow southerners. Blame Yoruba elders. 5 Likes |

If Awo had suggested a less different tactics approach on prosecuting d war, he wld hv been on a better side of history today. U yorubas r just demonstrating d very attitude of tribalism which Awo has always been accused of. Da yoruba regard Awo as a mini god who must not be questioned even after he has made some horrible errors in his time. 3 Likes |

An average Igbo is a champion of cheating in Business and an average Yoruba is a champion of back-stabbing. We were dragged into that needless civil war, because of the greed of few men. Both tribes should change from their evil ways! The old have given way to the new, in these days and times, the South and the West, should avoid the mistakes of the past and be better men than Ojukwu and Awolowo!

What pains Prof. Achebe & the whole of Ndigbo community is not the fact that we were attacked for wanting to be free from a tribalistic set of ppl tagged a nation, but the fact that the people (Yoruba) we loved, cherished & saw as our true brothers, betrayed us & sold us to our known enemies (The Northerners). We hardly mention Northerners cos we know them & they know us, we two are good opposites, & we know how to settle our feuds, but the Yorubas hve always betrayed Ndigbo who trust them. Igbos love Yorubas, but Yorubas are traitors by nature; they can be so cunning, & what I see Achebe trying to fore-warn Ndigbo is to always be watchful of Yorubas, to always trust them with caution. Yorubas can sell their friend for selfish gain. Ojukwu released Awolowo from jail, Awolowo publicly agreed that South-West will secede with South-East, then he turned against Biafra on the die-minute. The Yorubas always forget that Hausas hate them. They always love to jail their heroes- Awolowo, Abiola, Fella, Soyinka, et al. If not for Ojukwu, the Hausas would have killed Awolowo like they killed Abiola & later consoled them cunningly with OBJ whom they know too well won't ever do anything that will favor the Yorubas solely. Yorubas if sensible enough, ought to have known their true enemies- the Northerners, but envy against Ndigbo economic progress won't ever let them stop hating Ndigbo. 10 Likes |

Flawless~diva:nobody is saying sweep issues under the carpet. Are you people having a meaningful discussion on this thread? Is fighting blindly and insulting one another the solution to the problem? When everyone will be ready to dispassionately address the core issues without tribal sentiments, that is when you can say it is time to talk. |

Achebe is only saying the truth. The yorubas are the only reason igbos didn't clearly win the civil war. Awolowo knew this, and I believe that is what Achebe is trying to point out. If igbos hadn't been sabotaged on our way to Lagos, I believe history would have had a new twist. 3 Likes |

Thank God we have the person of ACHEBE who is internationally known to be bold enough to say the atrocity committed by Nigeria to igbo people. The plan was to annihilate the igbo race but to no avail . It is unbeleiveable that the people that were subjected to total destruction survived and even appear better than their oppressors today . Anyway the more noise you people -yorubas make about the book , the more money Achebe puts in his pucket. 4 Likes |

Wislet: is this my dailynews? Yes dear, I feel so glad seeing you here & not in the romance quarters, lol. It hurts so much. Remember in the Bible, Christ said: woe unto that one that will betray the son of man & give him to the enemies. He never talked about the people that will kill him, the Phariseas, he dwelled much on the one that will betray Him & sell Him to His killers. It hurts even the spirit realm to betray your friend or loved one. Ndigbo are so bitter & disappointed with Yorubas for always betraying Ndigbo who cherish & trust them & always stood by them. Not because we lost a war, of course in war someone must lose, but is not over yet cos Nigeria is yet at war- BH, etc are more than war, but this time the enemies will slain themselves while Ndigbo watch in ecstasy 3 Likes |

All these fights are just a way to pour to them the pain they feel as a people about the turn of events, especially when they needed them. If only they can see the truth.
