Sir who is WE and what does all you have written mean in plain English ? This is the first time I am knowing Osuji and I am afraid he has come across more intelligible than in your feeble obfuscation.

Contd.

I am not in this enterprise to defend Achebe. A legend needs no defence. He is more than able to do that for himself. A lion’s aura is more than enough defence for him. (Ebube Agu na eche Agu!!!) Moreover, a critique of anyone who puts anything in the public space, including Achebe, is part of disputation, which has been of the most ancient provenance in the academia. Disputation has been an august part of the intellectual tradition since the earliest days of ancient philosophers. People, who have written “tractas”, had seen others come up with “contra-tractas”. This is because every thesis gives room for an antithesis in the spirit of dialectics. To that end, that Achebe generates controversies or that someone could criticize Achebe is not the point. It is a healthy way of furthering human knowledge and pushing back the frontiers of ignorance. It is in fact encouraged. In that way, Achebe and other greats of his ilk, are compelled or configured to yield the depth of their genius for our eternal edification and education. But a psychotic insult of a universal master like Achebe, in the name of critique, is a not only a crime against good sense, or a symptom of an idiotic mind, filled with no substance other than sound and fury; but a great disservice to genius and the spirit of achievement, which has forever driven human civilization. And such wooden apologetics of deranged nature should never be allowed to go unchallenged.

Osuji’s critique of Achebe was a string of disjointed illogicalities scaffolded by his deep-seated Igbophobia. His critique of Achebe tells a lot about himself. This made us to run some searches on who this phantom is. And there is no better way to understand a man than from his words about himself and about issues. What we discovered about this man, was a frightening history of psychiatric illness, which has battered his mental landscape so much so as to left him a vulnerable ruin. That Mr. Ozodi Osuji is an extreme psychiatric case is not a metaphor. Read for yourself, what he wrote about himself in one moment of honest clarity. On the website

http://magazine.biafranigeriaworld.com/ozodi-osuji.html; he wrote his profile. I reproduce that below. You can see Ozodi Osuji in his own words. Pay attention to the words. The fearfulness of this person’s derangement becomes a worrisome reality, on encountering self descriptions like the one he made of himself as follows: Happy reading

I wanted to seem important, perfect, ideal, superior and powerful. I felt like I was not good enough and compensated with desire to be good, in fact, to be perfect. 

 ****************************

Given my weak body and the toughness of the physical environment that I had to adapt to, I necessarily felt physically weak, and developed psychological sense of inferiority.

 **************************** 

 Later on in life, I developed an interesting lifestyle. When I did not immediately get what I wanted, I felt angry. For example, if I was kept waiting on a line before the school clerk etc got to me, I felt furious at her. To this day, I feel angry when I stand on long lines, waiting my turn to be served. For example, if a bank teller is taking a long time getting to me, I feel angry at her. Of course, I keep quiet about it and do not tell her what I feel. I know better than to tell her so.

 *********************************

I have been a failure in many areas of my life. I have been a failure at school, sports, interpersonal relationships, work and making money. The reason for my failure in these various arenas of life is my underlying sense of inferiority and desire to seem superior. I want to seem important and fear being unimportant.

I am proud of u.

It's the truth my brother we are from the same village.
Just verify this. De Osuji has an Igbo wife. Titi has another child a girl both Ozodi and Chika are living in the US. Madan Titi is late, she was buried in Osun state.

Igbo people said that when a diety becomes so stubbon and proud, you show him the tree he was calved out from.

I learnt Thomas Osuji has been declared persona non grata at the village level. I do not know if the declaration made him permanent sojourner in Portland, Oregon. It is unfortunate that a person without a wife or family chose northwestern USA as place of abode.

This is the first time i am hearing such name, this psychopath called Ozodi is a delusional cheap attention seeker who has not contributed anything in his entire miserable life, obviously his off the mark treatise smacks of jealousy and frustration of monumental proportion, Achebe is a great man,Africa's greatest writer ever, my role model, a person who calls a spade, a spade, no matter whose ox is gored. i have never seen a bigger fool in my entire life, this mad dog called Ozodi is a disgrace to humanity, for peddling falsehood against Achebe and the Igbo race, he remains a cursed by man till the day he dies an obscure death and is buried as a riff-raff that he is. GOD WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS ACHEBE, OUR HERO, WE LOVE YOU SIR.

The book has been written for younger Igbo generationms to shine their eyes and not be taken unawares by those whose hearts are full of evil.

Please read this.

Ozodi Thomas Osuji is from Umuohiagu (close to Owerri) in Imo State, Nigeria. Ozodi has doctorate degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. Upon completing his dissertation he secured a professorial position at California State University, Dominguez. After a while it occurred to him that he had spent his ten years in America at college campuses and, as such, does not know how the real America works. He, therefore, decided to leave academia for a while (his intention was to return to it) to go gain real world experience. Thus, he moved to Portland, Oregon and worked for the county mental health system and rose to be the director (N/NE Community Mental Health Center). From there he moved to Seattle and did a similar job (Administrator of Central Area Mental Health) and to Alaska where he was a city

Ozodi is a fine gentleman, balanced, objective and methodical in deconstructing the nonsense Achebe called a memoir. He is in league of many who truly see beyond the hype of Things Fall Apart- a thoroughly copy and paste book devoid of originality that accompanies work of fiction. Achebe, to put it mildly, is a lazy writer whose imaginative thought is greatly limited. You can not be writing about yourself, in all cases, and yet be crying perennially to be awarded the highest prize in literature. I don't see any reason while such a fellow be nominated for a Nobel Prize.

I have read again and again this piece by Ozodi and there is just not a single line that seems to be misplaced or out of tune with reality. Ozodi understands and sees Achebe for who he is: a lazy, hate filled, bitter old child who has refused for years to grow up. Let the e-Biafrans on this forum be hailing Achebe while the rest of humanity simply derisively laugh at his utter stupidity.

"What is the truth, if I may ask? Is the truth what Achebe says that it is? Is the truth what Igbos say is the truth? Since when have one people determined the truth?

Generally, the truth lies somewhere in between what combatants say it is. Achebe presented his perception of the truth and did not tell us what Nigerians believe is the truth. The truth probably lies in between what Igbos and other Nigerians say is the truth."

Whether or not the man is crazy is not important what is is that the descendants of Biafran veterans must reconcile themselves with the fact that they lost the war and times have moved on. There is no higher moral ground in war just winners and losers.

Without reading his CV it would be clear that he has more than a lay knowledge of psychiatry from his choice of words particularly in analysing Achebe. It is a fact that Achebe was in charge of propaganda for Biafra and that cannot but taint his account in the judgment of any neutral. We must learn to have debates and disagreements without abuse and name calling. Ultimately Biafran apologists must accept as this guy says THE TRUTH LIES IN THE MIDDLE SOMEWHERE. No one has a monopoly of truth.
Leaving his remarks on Achebe and Igbos to one side. He makes very good sense about ALL black people in general and there is enough material for reflection for any African with some sense.
As far as "MAD PEOPLE" goes we just call it different names but all those people in churches muttering and grimacing writhing and convulsing in Jesus name are all quite mad too close to half of Nigerians are insane

I now have every reason to agree with samkoro that the said Osuji might be mentally unbalanced and perhaps still looking for his identity!
