I know of Fabian Osuji, the erstwhile minister. I also know Wilfred Osuji, the burgeoning professional footballer.Also familiar to me is judge Chile Eboe Osuji, a legal luminary with the ICC.Who the heck is Thomas Osuji? I suppose he is just another attention seeking professor. 3 Likes |

Thomas Osuji is simply a malcontent! He is only trying to get reputation from being moronic and being a saboteur. Anyway, those who witnessed the war, including the colonial masters and some western nations know Achebe knows what he is talking about. Let's not forget that Pa Prof. Achebe was a foreign minister and ambassador representing Biafra during the war, so he knows what he is saying. Btw, Nigeria can hardly be one from all available indicators if at all we can shun pretence! 3 Likes |

9jacrip: I hate commenting on topics like this, it usually ends with our brother's from the east debunking the claims of their fellow easterner who has supposedly gone against their mind state. Rather than being objective, they resort to rhetoric balderdash and you'd also find my brothers from the west capitalizing off of the situation rather than being analytical.[/size] And the work,a book that bookstores cannot keep up with its demand gets floored on nairaland. Seriously I think some of you take this forum rather too seriously ,nothing here gets beyond these pages but that book is going places. 6 Likes |

Another excerpt from the thought provoking article written by the critical thinker, Dr. Ozodi Thomas Osuji: Achebe forgot that he was writing about Africa with written records. T[b]here is ample documentation of what transpired in Nigeria between 1966 and 1970, the era of the Nigerian unrest that Achebe was writing about. Whatever he said could be fact checked, verified or found as not based on facts.[/b] 2 Likes |

Baby mama: Aunt Baby Mama please relax, I don't know how many bookstores cannot keep up with its demand (I pre-ordered it off of iTunes even before it got released and most scholars I know seem less interested in it) - anyways, sales do not determine IF/HOW a book/work gets floored, I'm talking about its appraisal here. Your determinant for a viable work seem based off sales, too bad. You will be fine. Da infamous: they think N/L is all and all bush people.. You and Babymama are both classical examples of what I stated in my first post - embittered easterners who feel betrayed as usual 'we have been betrayed'. Both of you should 'feck' off, #OKBYE! |

I don't really know if Chinua Achebe is a greater writer, or not, because I've never read any of his books... However, I have read the reviews and summaries of some of his books - and as Dr. Ozodi asserted in the Op-ed, he's too engulfed with writing about himself(albeit in a fictional way) than anything else... And all his books are centered around the arrival of the Europeans in Africa - and books like that have a tendency to subconsciously mis-educate young Africans that civilisation came to Africa with the arrival of the Europeans.. Perhaps, that's why Achebe's books are well celebrated among Europeans because it makes them feel superior to Africans.. 3 Likes |

Even though I shared a little bit of the writer's sentiment against Achebe, I really hope that the non-literary consciousness of the average youth of today will sweep in and save us all from an impending uprising. For good reasons, I hope that majority of young people today, keeps pinging, watching movies, listening to songs and wasting considerable time on Facebook, if it would be a positive diversion from what these old men are plotting. Old men should not plan wars for young men to fight. I once expressed that Prof Achebe ought not sit within the coasts of the United States, and set these volatile issues aflame in the minds of today's young people. The inter-connectedness the 21st century offers us these days does not leave us worrying about what happened yesteryears again. People mostly think of the future these days, either they are Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Idoma,Tiv, Ibiobio or what have you. Some words are better left unsaid. 4 Likes |
