No sir/ma.
Let me tell u what happened yesterday in Methodist Church, Abuja.
It was independence celebration so different tribes represented by singing and dancing to the altar in their various native songs.
From the Yorubas to the hausas, to the south south etc there was no issue.
When it was the turn of igbos, guess what happened?
There was issue with choice of song such that when a song was chosen, a faction will disapprove.
Let me state here without exaggerating that it was after about 5,6 or 7 songs( certainly more than 4) that the igbos agreed on a song.
We non ibos were so perplexed and slightly annoyed cos time was far spent and we needed to leave so that the 10 am service to commence.
Not to sound so stereotypical but was a pointer to disunity.
this nonsense you wrote here is so childish. I hope you expand your obviously narrow mind Is your problem with them actually that they are disunited or everything about them piss you off? Choose one 14 Likes |

you harbour all these in your heart at this age. Then you call the people who you despise. Haters. These comments of yours were unwarranted because no one abused or insulted Yorubas but you decided to express your hate filled bitterness. What has the post up there about Achebe got to do with your personal hate filled bitterness? How a human being can move with this envy and bitterness beats my imagination. I pray whatever evil or thoughts you have for these people who have done you no harm shall be returned back to you in ten folds. That is the law of karma The small boy is toxic! 3 Likes |

They didn't invest jack! They're all victims of their own misguidance. Their region is so messed up that it's become almost inhabitable for modern civilization. A haven and fortress for savagery. Their negative attitudes, divisibility, and arrogant nature have been the apex reason of their downfall.
Even in the most fairly contested election ever held in the history of this nation where MKO won the north and SW in a landslide, he lost in the SE. Simply because of their sentiments and hatred for Yorubas and anything Yoruba. They supported OBJ cuz they've got no choice as it was btw two Yorubas. They supported OBJ to spite the SW as, the SW supported Falae. They'll do anything to spite Yoruba pple. They opposed PMB simply cuz of Osinbajo, his Yoruba V.P.
The same Yorubas that give them accomodation and roofs upon their heads. No other tribes can successfully thrive in their own region. They're very un-accomodating to other tribes even their own Igbo pple if you're not from their states or localities.
I love progressive minded Igbos... Late Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu will always be my hero. I love him to death but, his pple messed up the 1966 coup due to unnecessary sentiments. That's story for another day. Guess who 'strategically' killed him? That coward, Ojukwu!
Of course, not all of them are bad. Majority of the educated ones are great. I've got several Igbo friends and, trust me they sometimes regret their heritage. Hatred engenders retrogression. When things happen, people tend to look too far for its cause. Look no further 3 Likes |

See brain!!! We hardly see young renownd writers these days.
Wait o...na nika this man wear dey show case him books? Abeg check second pics....
Kudos to him though. There are a lot of young writers, but opportunities are relatively few. This has pushed many of them to self-publish their books which means they cannot avail themselves of the editorial help that is attached to getting published with a traditional publisher. Moreover, the standard of education has dropped, and motivation has also dropped. How many Nigerians read? The dwindling number of readers is enough discouragement. In the 50s and 60s, the standard of education was very high, and the likes of Achebe went to school at the prestigious university college. Graduates of primary schools in those days will school a master's holder of today. Standard of education affects your mastery of English, even if slightly. And when you don't have a proper grasp of the language, your writings would be barely readable, and many publishers would reject it on that score. 5 Likes |
