SamAfrik: Why are Igbos so troublesome? Are u presently being maltreated in the west? Cos Im only interested in ur present welbeing not events dt occurred decades ago.
are yorubas presently being maltreated in the east? do you se how stupid you sound, achebe wrote about the civil war as he experienced it , if you want to counter his facts then write your own memoir if you where even born then.

samkoro:

Ok,it is good that u now agree that Awolowo worn a war by genocide.You knew this and uv been hiding it. Ah! Yoruba can never be straight forward in this life.

So people dying in a war is genocide? Meaning those dying in Iraq and Afghanistan are victims of genocide, abi? Please stop disgracing yourself by using words that you don't know the meaning of.

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.
point of correction globe, awolowo is not in anyway an ancestor of d yoruba tribe... secondly, you don't know what happened back then, so id suggest u don't dabbled or insult tribes... ur a Nigeria in ur stance speak as one and don't insult any tribe... please...

you dont wantthem in lagos but you justify nigeria bringing biafra back and get bitter anything they open a thread about leaving this cursed country for you and your hausa master? make up your mind. while at it we cant wait for the day when the oil in igboland and other south south areas will no longer be used to fund this cursed nation and feed hausas and yorubas.

bashr8: i would have taken this same stand as an igbo man but from the responses coming from your yoruba elders and online yorubas it is evident who hates who and that these things are real its not something that can be swept under the carpet, the solution remains SNC, regionalism or total disintegration. there is hatred everywhere and we igbos will be worse hit if Nigeria goes into flames today cus we have our properties all over nigeria but if you ask why should we be foolish to have properties all over nigeria then you just confirmed that igbos and other ss groups where right to leave nigeria in 1967.

like i said nearlier ,achebe wrote his own account of the war, for years the nigerian govt have been publishing lies about what happened to hide the truth but recently thanks to social media the truth is coming out, even if civil war breaks out today ,igbos will not participate and i wonder who will fight who,those yorubas that are bitter about what achebe wrote should first ask themselves if it is true or not.

Are these facts the truth? Lets all question this book and ensure the records are set straight, No use deceiving ourselves! this is our history good or bad, the story should be told the way it truly happens so we dont go lying to the next generation and they will still find out! it may take a long time, but the truth will surface! If Awolowo did wrong then he should be tried posthumously, he is not God and there are laws! who said Awo and his ilks didn't rob Nigeria like the rest of them, let them prove it!Mbadinuju , Achebe they all are not saints

No wonder hausa people slaughter ibo in the north everyday. I am A̶̲̥̅​ christian yoruba$ but, I think hausas are better and friendly. Imagine A̶̲̥̅​n ibo man calling Yorubas useless tribe. We all know what happened during the military era. No leader was A̶̲̥̅​ saint then, because Aguyi Ironsi took part in coup plot, we should call ibo people dogs? You don't judge the whole tribe based on one person. We have tinubu, A̶̲̥̅​ yoruba man aligning himself with hausas/boko-harams. Does that mean all Yorubas supports his view?
The truth is, ibo just hate everybody, they the ijawa, hausa, fulanis etal.
They disgustingly hate yorubas because of jealous. They can never measure up to Yorubas in education and civilization. We are the light of Nigeria. Civilization starts from Lagos. LOl
empty chest beating. yes all yorobbers support Tinubu (the new awo of yorobberland) who will go any lenght for power. Thats why you lots continue voting him and have willed your future to him. Tinubu is just repeating history. check history and see how hausas has been using yorobbers as both stepping and sitting stools.

oh, we are envious of yorobbers. you even laughed after saying it so that settles it. we have seen the civilization in ogun, oshogbo, oyo, ibadan, akure, ekiti. have a seat

Hitler, the head Nazi was a German. All Germans were not Nazi. Same with the Yoruba Nation. All Yoruba's are not Awoists even though all Awoists are Yorubas.

There are still Yoruba's, non-Awoists that know and have known that all that Achebe wrote in his book is true and the seeming defence of Awo is an insult to Ndi Igbos and Nigerians and a vain attempt to distort history. These Yorubas have a conscience and many have apologised to the Igbos for the genocidal misdeeds of their patriarch Awo and want to move on to greater heights with them to build Nigeria.

On behalf of the non-Awoists and Yorubas with consciences we apologise to the Igbos.

Why do we always allow sentiment, emotion and nepotism to becloud our sense of judgement? Instead of playing to the gallery and pandering to the whims and caprices of ethnocentrism, we should rather ask ourselves this question, is Achebe's postulation fact or fiction? And pls no one must obfuscate the truth or try to rewrite history which is sacrosant. Some ppl by omission or commision might have perpetrated evil.

We hate all the tribes in Nigeria, we always find faults of other tribes. Other tribes offended us. Ijaw, calabar, yoruba, hausa, fulanis all offended us.

We are saints, we have never offended anyone.

Igbos are just like arabs/muslims. The whole world offended arabs. Arabs are currently fighting the whole planet because the whole planet offended them. They keep avenging the death of their brothers killed by xtian/west.
Are all these excuses to kill and hate genuine? No. It just what we called "bigot", "racism" and tribalism. Its too much for these igbos. No other trribe is as friendly as yorubas, yet, igbo hate them.

Some of d comments here are S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ childish and lacks substance.

First, would want †̥ revere Mr. Achebe as d foremost writer he was. No doubt things fall apart was a classic and even brought recognition †̥ this country.

Secondly, I̶̲̥̅̊t̶̲̥̅̊ appears Mr. Achebe has lost d attention he once enjoyed and has found a means †̥ get I̶̲̥̅̊t̶̲̥̅̊ back via d book he wrote. Controversies would definately buy d necessary attention needed.

Thirdly, why wait for S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ many years †̥ release such statements, especially when d main actors H̲̣̣̣̥ɑ̤̥̈̊vє̲̣̥ gone. In as much as d book was not written when d actors would H̲̣̣̣̥ɑ̤̥̈̊vє̲̣̥ refuted or confirmed his "revelation", its just pure nonsense.

Also, our Ibo brothers need not view everything with emotions first. Ojukwu and Gowon were at logger head not Awo. Everyone has a right †̥ choose which side, he wants †̥ be. Its not by force †̥ support if u ve seen clearly, I̶̲̥̅̊t̶̲̥̅̊ wasn't a battle that can be won. Ojukwu should H̲̣̣̣̥ɑ̤̥̈̊vє̲̣̥ thought I̶̲̥̅̊t̶̲̥̅̊ better before embarking on that Journey. If food was used as a tool of frustration by *NG*. He could H̲̣̣̣̥ɑ̤̥̈̊vє̲̣̥ easily gotten food from other countries.

Whether any one likes I̶̲̥̅̊t̶̲̥̅̊ or not Pa Awo was d only true nationalist leader *NG* ever had. He led his people †̥ d heights of civilization any other region can't match. Also if our Ibo brothers are still S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ angry. Why do we still find them in d North, West still hustling for money and biz. Thought they are self sufficient and angry at d pogrom and Awo's action. Upon everything, Ojukwu still tried †̥ rule d country he once tried †̥ destroy when he was over 70. Talk about two sides of d mouth. He I̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊ not different from our regular born †̥ rule leaders.
♍Ɣ mind honestly.

igbos dont hate anybody , we live all over nigeria ,employ people from all over nigeria , marry from all the tribes. achebe criticizing awolowo and gowon who where heading the federal government during the war does not mean igbos hate yorubas, use your brain for once.
