Ndigbo Lagos deems the ongoing heated reactions to Elder statesman and world renowned writer, Prof Chinua Achebe’s personal chronicle of his experience during the civil war as being very unnecessary This is a wrong statement by Ndigbo Lagos. The "heated reactions" are fair and justified and necessary. It was provoked! So it is wrong to call it "unecessary". |

Mr. Globe2: You igbo cocroaches will not Sieze to to amaze one, it seems you people are so bereft of wisedom that you all sleep facing one direction. What you and your senile children novelist do not know is that the untruth he wrote is tantamount to treason against the yoruba nation. Your clamouring for war will lead only to regrets that Awolowo will not be around to help you people cleanup. Enough is enough. You can't eat your cake and have it. It was your impulsive warlord Ojukwu who lead you badly into the problems you experienced during the war. He has never apologised to his fellow igbos neither to the nation. Anyway that is history now, but that this time around you people will go away with your wicked ways, think again. Awolowo did what he had to do as the finance minister and Nigeria never went into debt throughout his stewardship. If you people choose to be dreaming and leave in the past kindly don't drag anyone with you, that's a choice you made by declaring war on a sovereign state, take the consequence that come along as part of the choices. I think the yorubas are too pleasant to a fault that's why you could even write these lies in the first place. Why did the professor write about the killings in the north whether it will see the daylight. Your professor his broke and he want to write something to generate controversies and sensation for money making. I hope the money he might have made will be enough payment to undo all the trouble he'll not only cause himself but his dimwit kinsmen. Typical of Ibos person agrandisement and lust after money. If they are so bitter why don't they go back to Biafra no one will fight them for this. 3 Likes |

An average Igbo sees the hausa as his foe, sees the yorubas as bitter enemy, is at logger head wit the ijaw man, despise the itsekiris. Feels he is better than the Ibibio. Pray pls, learn to leave in peace and love your neighbours. Others tolerate your over zealous I'm better than you, i I'm smater than you, i like money pass you attitude. Is it too much of an effort to leave in peace wit others? 1 Like |

This dimwits think they are clever, Ndigbo Lagos my foot, who gave monkey bannana? They think their useless statement will change anything, they even have the effontry to chip in the 2015 presidency what a colosal flauw. Didn't this people get it that all their sinister plans have been unravelled, importation of large cache of weapons by the Igos can only mean one thing war or genocide(Yorubas watch out for enemies within), thier clamour for Presidency can only be tantamount to one thing, positioning to enable war or genecide to be effective or loot Nigeria silly and break the nation. Aren't their pointers during the civil war when they loot banks in Benin to finance their war prompting o change of corrency. No matter how educated this people will never develop their mind set, the war may be in the 60s it's still like yesterday to thias people. Call me all sorts of names but that is the truth and if the yoruba nation sleeps thinking the are hosting people they are fouling themselves(I know my people but wake up peps). Love and humanity should not be sacrificed on alter of evil doers. Nigeria has been in comatose because this people do not want to move forward but want to practice aparthy. How many yorubas have this so call Ndigbo lagos sourjorners spent on for scholarship or least study materials to show they really care about you people. Yoruba adage says "The war that has been foretold to a paraplegic will not caught up with him/her". To be forewarned is to be foreharmed these people cannot be trusted in anyway (whether they are your friend,inlaws or business partners- be very careful). 3 Likes |

nnenna.1: Your far-fetched sarcasm smirks of self-righteousness, which is typical of most igbofolk. The Biafra war happened to the igbos because the strength of Chukwuemeka Ojukwu's intelligence failed him, and his quest for self (before any other thing) glory got the better of him. What's more?..the igbo military guys and elites sheepishly followed suit. With the weaker biafran arsenal and infantry, even an Id.iot would have known the war path was doomed to fail. Look deep within. Your ancestors are to blame for the biafran lot. And for all I care, you can keep the bitter memory of the distorted civil war history the likes of Prof Achebe are drumming in your ears. It's only a matter of time, its venom will slowly 'kill' you from within. Irú ìró ni ìborùn.. Avians of homogeneous plummage levitate in unison. We the so-called 'non-igbos' have moved on.

what exactly is wrong with people here? Why do we have to learn from our mistake?, the people ruling the nation with corruption are busy doing that, we are here spreading hate. Do you think anyone around the world is actually intrested in which tribe you come from in this congregation called Nigeria? As far as the rest of the world is concerned, like it or not we are the same and until we put our head together and let this work, it won't.

It is dumb for Chinua Achebe to be claiming Igbo superiority in 2012. If they're so superior why do they keep running away from home? They should all go back to their Biafra homeland and turn it to Paris, rather than chasing shadows all over the so-called unwanted Nigeria. Hypocrites!

The funny thing is that Achebe in Page 122-155 of the book criticized some of the decisions taken by Ojukwu during that conflict. Igbos or Ojukwu's family have not started making paid newspaper advertisement to insult Prof. Achebe for stating some hard truths. But our "shofisticated" friends in the west want to pull down the country over a book on Biafra and Awolowo's criminal role in the whole thing. |

Corruption and tribalism is a serious treat to this union and should be our primary concern and not what happened in the past. Tribal bashing is a serious waste of time but can incite hatred just like Tutsi and Tutsi war in Rwanda. At the end it was all vanity and stupid. |
