A foolish, stupid and divided country. Did you not peruse the other disgusting threads vilifying Achebe?

Sometimes I don't even blame you Ghanaians for the hate we receive. We sometimes deserve it.

So true.

I attended university in the US, and we studied Chinua Achebe's "Thing Fall Apart" for one of our English literature classes. That's how big he is, and I'm flabbergasted that Nigeria isn't hailing this dude as a national hero.

I've seen Things Fall Apart as the Arrows of God didnt spare this A Man of the People. Things may be No Longer at Ease if The Anthills of the Savannah should eat up the body of Achebe. Nonetheless, generations will know that There was A Countryman.
RIP, Achebe...... *sad*

Are they still mourning or are they on NL trying to patch up his wretched reputation?

ROTFLMAO. declaration of seven day mourning for what? This ain't North Korea abeg
Ibo people and their excessive hero worship sef.

This is the second time i'm hearing foolish stuff from this so called "Igbo Youth Movement" I think Ibo people need to watch out. This is really a Biafra group poised to become dictators if they get their way.

fatdon1: The Igbo Youth Movement has declared seven days of mourning beginning from Friday for the late international novelist, Prof. Chinua Achebe, who died on Thursday.

In a statement issued on Friday, the President of IYM, Mr. Elliot Uko, said the movement was still in shock after learning of the death of Achebe.

“We wail and mourn and wish it was not true. Achebe presented traditional African society to the rest of the world 55 years ago.

“He was the man who gave the world an insight into the orderliness of pre-colonial Africa. His ideas and message translated to over 100 languages.

“Lately, he stood up for the truth in an inspiring display of courage and love for his people and respect for history.

“He was not afraid of name calling or the expected abuse. He chose the truth in order to inspire all generations. A great Iroko has fallen, IYM hereby declares seven days of mourning for the man of his people,” he said.

If igbos r fools, then Yorubas r COWARDS, BACKSTABBERS, PERPETUAL HAUSA-SLAVES & JEALOUS BIGOTS. It is because of your behaviours above that no single Yoruba man occupies any top political office in nigeria today. You backstabbed even your lastman standing, Bankole. As a result u guys r now pariahs in d politics of d country. I d efikman said so and stand 2 b corrected.

What religion does Chinua Achebe practice when he was alive?

^ traditional religion or atheist
he condemned Christianity in his books. besides also condemning Nigeria of course.
In fact, he condemns everything that doesn't have the word "Ibo" in it. no wonder the ibo tribalists and bigots love him.

I think his book is very overrated to be honest. but so what. Kim Kardashian is also overrated.

[b]Senseless Scalawag, read history. As at 1785, Nupe and part of the East were still paying Tribute to the Great Oyo Empire. Unlike now that the Yorubas are together, it was a disunity problem that lead to kogi and kwara problem, and unlike the myopic igbos, the Zulu fulanis in Kwara are not provoking us, just as Olu of Warri and other Yorubas in Niger Delta are at peace. igbos rather flatter themselves and falsely use mouth to spoil others' image. igbo unity is FAKE! they kill themselves for money with ease. Unlike igbos, Yorubas know that LIFE is more than money. Cynthia, that beautiful girl was severally Molested and killed by 4 igbos for money. This year alone so many ritual killings in igbo land, 38 people were killed and dumped in a Ezu River in Anambra, 12 toddlers were killed in another...several unresolved killings for money in igbo land, what a people. igbos are fools,and bloody senseless liars like achebe,twisting history.
