Wislet: lol. Romance, ehn?
I like politics too.
And yea... That is the crux of the matter.
Wonder why the yoruba(some) think Igbos hate them. They have no clue.
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.
If you can't help your friend, it is better to remain detached from that situation than to aid (your) the enemy.
Because...after all said and done...(your supposed friends)the same people you aided will not bat an eyelid to do away with you if they have to.

kindabigg: Shameless old man!

kettykin:

This same shameless old man was voted as the most influential African by time Magazine , the only other person that ever got voted for the same role was Nelson Mandela . His Novel has been translated into al the major languages of the world

Question is if Achebe was Useless , how would you classify Obasanjo,Awolowo,Diya

olu77emi: NL pls.help answer this question
Why Igbos are slaughter daily in the north?
Why is there no relationship between south east and south south?
WHY ARE THEY ALL OVER SOUTH WEST, with flourishing business even serve in the cabinet of state governors?
Why this holier than thou accusations against the dead?

Deage: 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.

I dey clap for u, nice one, ride on.

But I hav a question4u; if ur tribe claims to be from Israel, why is it that the other "useless tribes" has held u peep to ransom, ur tribe has not and can not smell presidency again. Israel is holding Palestine to ransom, why is it the other way round here?

Ewu, Anu ofia, oya, go and take your medicine and larula kita kita, if i see u wander around here again hen, im ga pia gi like umu aka

Mr. Globe:
Achebe's tribesman (Mr. Globe) to Awolowo's Daughter: I am disappointed with the international court of justice for not trying Awolowo (the ancestor of a useless tribe) for genocide post humously.

kindabigg: Shameless old man!

solomon111: The bitttch is Disappointed that awo history has been thrown into the dustbin of life.
Awo reputation has suffered a devastating blow both locally and internationally.
He has now been placed alongside hitler,stalin,idi-amin,and the rest of the them.
What a shame.
So much for awo free education.
Lol.

sweet_gala: History is good, but I see this a tactful act to destroy the image of your enemy.
Awolowo was a great leader , a man was willing to take certain questionable decisions in the hope of ending a terrible civil war.
He never had any verbal agreement with Ojukwu to protect Biafran interest, why should he be vilified . It was not a strange tactic to deny your enemy access to amenities through routes which were under your control. All sides done so in world war II , merchant ships were targeted by all sides, cargo planes and rail lines, during the American civil war both sides resorted to caves and underground passages. It's your enemies duty to deny you easy access to supplies its yours to protect your supply routes, gain some and come up with alternatives. All wars are won on this simple principle.

It is no news that Awolowo and Achebe were on opposing sides during the war , history is written by the victors , to that effect Gowon, Awolowo and several other Nigerians are celebrated as powerful people who kept this country together today, achebe has denied himself a national honour twice a decision I respect.
We made an effort to forgive Ojukwu of treason and gave him a state burial honoured his widow.

Gowon gave a great speech after the war which denounced the notion of victory for the Nigerian state but promoted peace dialogue unity and reflection.

Now I ask why must a old much respected Nobel laureate invite the topic of division and taint the image of his long dead enemy for personal gratification?
The war for him is long gone and lost.

Jungleprince1:
how i wished zik gives you free education, then you will know when not to fight war, talking about awo, what about the rest of them? This is something nzeogu and adewale started but ifejuana destroy by not killing zik and co, ironsi refuse to correct it and gowon attacked the igbos. Instead of ojukwu to study situation he declare war. And now you think is awolowo's fault. i pity you

DailyNews:

My dear, Nigeria is a forced nation done out of colonial master greed to exploit oil from this part of africa. so no need for anyone wasting time to teach good governance in Nigeria cos it won't work & never worked in a so-called nation where tribalism, religious clamouring & selfishness beclouds the leaders.


In every sector of Nigeria today, before u get anything, tribe is considered. if an hausa heads a department, he promotes hausas first even if they do not merit it. same goes if its headed by an Igbo or by a Yoruba.


A hausa values his religion more than ppls innocent lives, & would do anything to ensure his tribesmen with his same religion dominates every sphere of government, so how would there be true progress match in such a country


For how long will we continue to pretend to be one Nigeria Anytime there is a little feud, each tribe in Nigeria start finding a way to preserve their own tribesmen to the detriment of the other tribes, so why do we still claim to be one nation Can't we all be honest to ourselves & let go peacefully of this forceful union called NIGERIA

AB$I:
as useless as d tribe is,its still beta than yours. Nitwit

Ayo-olu12:
Some Folks can talk a lot of crap, but when people retaliate, they start crying.
It's like he's blaming Awolowo for having the intelligence to win the war. War is a sad and bloody business, granted. Therefore, only those who are fully ready to bear the consequences should venture into it. Don't start crying pathetically that the other side was more strategic and tactical.
I'm embarassed for Achebe.

DailyNews: Lets all join in singing this song lyrics:

Achebe done finish Awolowo?

Crowd should respond after me: Finish Him!

Achebe done finish Awolowo?
& the crowd say.....?
Baba done finish Awombe?
Finish him!

Awolowo acquired wealth by ojoro
Awolowo escaped jail
finish am!
Awolowo buo awo
finish am!


hahahaha.....pls add ur own song lyrics & lets all dance....lol
