KingPradas: Did i mention "Iraq".

Ur post is getting dumber, you implied that. BtW, I mentioned Afghanistan N Naija, why did u ignore that dumbassd? Now , have British forces occupied London where these guys were born?

Excuses continue...

KingPradas: This is bad......BUT why are people shocked? Seriously? The US and UK
cannot start a war, put soliders in someone else's land kill thousands
of innocent people and don't think someone won't retaliate to that.
C'mon man, you'd be very naive to think there isn't someone crazy enough
to do this. We will call this guy crazy because he killied an innocent
man but we call soliders heroes for doing the same thing to
thousands...think about it.

Dumbest post ever! How's Iraq their fatherland? So they chose religion over statehood? So they could have killed their relatives who are Christians because of religion? I still don't get it as to why a Muslim in Naija is more related to someone in Iraq/Afghanistan than someone in Naija? Why would a Naija jihadist kill a fellow Naija to retaliate the death of someone in Iraq? Doesn't it make sense that a Naija man in Naija is more likely to have the same DNA/lineage with someone in Naija than someone in Iraq?

Real Muslims keep making excuses for brothers who are jihadists ... How many of them even those in more civilized and educated societies/enclaves have dissavowed or repudiated their actions? Like we see on NL, you see them saying things like " I condem their actions, BUT UK/US is the aggressor" meaning that they always just terrorism of some sort, but they fail to see the heinous act of taking human lives; more so, victims of terrorism can be Muslims because WMD does not discriminate. I keep hearing Islam is a religion of peace when am I going to see it? Even these guys' teacher/mentee was on TV justifying their actions and he has muslim followers. If one of them commits another terrorist act ( seems likely, but God forbid), muslims are gonna make the same excuse.I have a feeling that those who refuse to speak up are weak or in passive connivance... It's that feeling of someone/stranger challenging a known bully and you will standing on the corner and be saying " I wish I had the balls to fight back like that challenger"

arcbabe: My thought is Iran is trying to portray nigerians as bad since the iranian man that was charged with importation of weapons into nigerian was sentence to jail in nigerian. These guys knowing fully well that they originated from nigeria were brainwashed and used to tarnish our image.

Keep blaming others but yourself. How is Iran connected to this story? How many terrorists has Iran produced this year? How many acts of terror have been perpetuated by Iranians in Nigeria this year? Keep living in denial until Boko Haram becomes your next door neighbor

ban.shymmex:
The system has failed this generation of black youths...but Nigerian parents have also failed their children. Nurses do make a lot of money and the parents should have done more for this guy. How can you own a big house in Lincoln(that's virtually empty) - and your son is out there in London living like a destitute...with radical Islamists as his family?

How can the system fail a British born citizen with a university degree? These brainwashed kids are looking for whom to blame while their Arabian/Gulf adherents are busy buying up all the most treasured assets in EU and America.

stillwater: Tufiakwa! My parents would have a heart attack!
Gone are the days when you want to do something bad and then you remember your parents and that thought alone would make you think twice.

If his parents had chosen to have a dog instead of him, they would be have been called all sorts of name, if they had aborted him, they would have been called killers and sinners

Why are you taking panadol for another person's headache? With all good behaviour and traits, let me see you become another Rev Desmond Tutu or Mother Teresa

Sometimes I think that having kids could the biggest problem on earth. Look what this terrorist has done to his family. What's the benefit of having a child like this lunatic? He has been provided for and taken care of... All his family got in return...a terrorist!

click2cbn: Dis ur source is not dat accurate, Okigwe diocese doesn't have a greater number of parishioners dan Orlu not to talk of Ahiara!
PS: am not from Ahiara diocese

Can you post your own figure blockhead? Typical Naija debate mentality, "I don't agree" doesn't always win debate, but facts do!

gtrust: No! Only the masses!

Govt of the rich by the rich for the rich!

El-dashab:
When Abdulmutallab was sentenced to life imprisonment for attempted bombing a plane in the US, some of his last words before he was taken to the prison was "God is Great" and the a great calamities will befall the American which may possibly wiped out the US from the map. From Boston marathon bombing to fertilizer explotion and now the deadly tornado in oklahoma. am beggining to belive the under wear bomber!!!

Brainless Terrorist!

Does this affect Julius Berger and CCECC?

Can we see some crime stats state by state?

Let's do the numbers!
Population of Catholics in Anambra with 3 dioceses
Onitsh Archidiocese 1,513,142
Awka. 635,595
Nnewi. 458,302
Total. 2,607,039

Population of Catholics in Imo State with 4 dioceses.
Owerri Archidiocese 670,302
Ahiara. 381,522
Orlu. 562,837
Okigwe. 823,483

Total. 2, 438, 144.

From these numbers it is right to say that Catholic folks in Ahiara nay IMO state are better represented by Cardinal Arinze, even though he is from Anambra, and it's plausible for Catholic folks in Anambra to say that they have not been fully represented by their own son in Rome given the fact they have more Catholic faithfuls with less diocese.

Sources: Wikipedia and Catholic-Hierarchy

These are trouble makers..Anambra with higher population and the "Rome" of Catholic Church in Eastern Nigeria has only three dioceses, Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi while IMO state with fewer population has 4 dioceses, Ahiara, Orlu, Okigwe and Owerri. How come they have not praised Cardinal Arinze for "creating"4 dioceses in their state while he only "created" 3 dioceses for his home state- Anambra? Maybe Arinze's mom or 'wife' is from IMO state Catholic folks in Old Aguata and Aniocha are clamouring for a new diocese and their requests have not been granted, maybe it's time to move Ahiara to Anambra

3ace: I thought so too. He even received an award early this year at an event attended by dignitaries. I've forgotten the name of the award now but from all indications, it was as if he was doing exceedingly well.

He has nothing to show for a state that runs N490 bn/yr =$3bn budget. The roads in PH are death traps. Why is it that folks are not complaining that he spent $60 m to buy a private jet while British PM does not have a private jet?

Desola: Are they meant to sit around while Jonathan kills all their people?

What a crass display of idiocy!

Catholic Church does not play politics of geography. Some towns in Enugu state like, Akpugoeze and Ugwuoba are in Awka diocese- Anambra. Priests are affiliated to their diocese by virtue of where they got ordained. An Anambra priest who attended seat of wisdom owerri and got ordained in Owerri will forever be a diocesan priest from Owerri diocese.Father Edeh, Madonna University founder, is from Nkanu in Enugu state, but his diocese is in Rivers state/Elele where he started his business empire. Bishop Fitzgiborn, a white man was bishop of Warri

ola_pluto: STILL, the government, and importantly BBC, have refused to call it a Muslim attack. Muslim Council of Britain has already condemned it unreservedly. It is sickening how no one cared to listen to what the murderer said on video, rather focussing on what his religion is likely to be.

I bet one of relatives will be killed that way; maybe you will listen. Keep apologizing for terrorists cos one day they will kill u!

Mr Sanusi Must tell us the cost of Boko Haram destruction in terms of human lives, properties, loss of wages, time, Indemnity, compensation, foreign direct investment loss, battered country image. It seems this man feeds through his anus!

It seems you are dealing with a narcissistic diva ? She will never change, cos she suffers from emotional attention deficit disorder...

Lilimax: There is nothing wrong in travelling abroad for treatment if you can afford it but my take is
that they should equip our hospitals so that people that are not opportuned to travel
abroad will have access to good medical care.

There is everything wrong in traveling abroad for treatment! How many times has Mandela been treated abroad ?

Why is he making unnecessary comments on national issues even when he's no expert? Does he know anything about specialization?

babyosisi: The list above is for Oyibo
Nigerian women have a separate list and as God will have it,our list is shorter too

So only money can make u feel loved? What a purchasable twatt waffle!

But would you mind if your mum comes and stays for one year?

femishosho@gmai:
yh i know that was my plan originally . then he kept coming round and acting interested and staying over which i wasnt expecting , then the last time he came around he told me she was pregnant and i didnt believe him i though he was lying and he also said that she knew about us from a while ago and that she rung me , which i dont remember hence why i thought he was lying .
so apart of me know thinks that she's purposely got pregnant on finding this out , so he wouldnt leave . yes i know he's her husband but hes not happy with her ..

i wouldnt be so annoyed if she wasnt pregnant because, if she wasnt , i would of tried to turn away but i now i feel a sense of entitlement which i know isn't really just but thats what i feel and i feel she know wats goin on and shes done this .




yes ultimately i know thats what i have to do because its driving me mad seeing her even though we dont speak. its just hard and i wish i never knew.

Keep dreaming in fantasy island. He's not happy and still living with his wife? It seems your jealosy comes from the fact that you want a lot more money/help from the man. What happened to condom/protection if you didn't want to have the baby? It looks like you wanted to use the baby to rope the man in... Finally it looks like this is all about what you stand to get from the man.

Story Story Story!!

DIVINEMERC: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CHIEF DR. IFEANYI P. UBAH (Ebubechukwu Uzor) ?

What a waste of education! Go and pass your SSSCE English

Prof Corruption: This is the tragedy of our era that a seminal interview of this nature is kept away from front page yet same front page is populated by inanities. This is one interview that ll be referenced for years because it put to shame dishonest individuals who have extracted more dubious political mileage than artistic value from literature.

1. There's no such thing as Father of African literature because there were copious publication far and wide in Africa even before Achebe and Soyinka came to our literary firmament. We even have the likes of Amos Tutuola who had next to nothing education yet wrote a readable fiction not to talk of folks who actually had a degree in English. The piece of Prof Okanlawon ably referenced by Soyinka is perhaps the biggest repudiation of this nonsense of a thing called Father of African literature.

2.I have seen people cited examples of Shakespeare et al to pontificate that a good writer does not necessarily need to win a Nobel. Laughable. If Shakespeare had lived during Nobel era, he would not just been a winner but perhaps a multiple one. There's something wrong with the works of a perennial nominee who failed to clinch the prize.

3.It's completely wrong to domesticate the literary squabble to Nigeria. Soyinka is better known as a playwright not novelist. Like Soyinka said, if you really want to compare, compare oranges with oranges and not just apples with oranges. The right authors to situate Achebe's artistic value with are those of Toni Morrison, Edouard Glissant, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Yambo Ouologuem, Nadine Gordimer, Naguib Mahfouz which are known for fiction. Many of these folks have won the Nobel Prize which again demonstrate in salient way there's something in Achebe's embodiment of works that is making it inferior to competition from other parts of the globe.

4.Achebe's most read novel, Things Fall Apart, is not his best. Arrow of God is better in richness, deployment of literary and artistic tools. This is the red flag that many conveniently ignore in their deification of Achebe and "arrogance of expectation" of Nobel prize on the alter of Things Fall Apart. Things Fall Apart is more successful as a political tool than a literary masterpiece. It's a counter narrative to repudiate the western imperial image of Africa.
Besides, half of the book is more or less a sociological chronicle of precolonial Alaigbo populated by the richness of Igbo proverbs, maxims and idioms which are not original to Achebe. That simple fact of course would not interest a common reader out there, but to literary practitioners? It's perhaps the most important factor.

5.Soyinka's comment on civil war is what some folks have refused to come to terms with on this forum, Nairaland, that the war was "unwinnable" from day one. Bluff is different from bullet. Instead of holding a man who launched a lost war responsible for dragging the entire Igbo into such a monumental mess, they would rather blame their opponents in the same war for no other reason than their refusal to be defeated. Biafra committed atrocities during the war very much same way like Nigeria. Personal animosities should not be elevated to tribal charges.

Above all, Achebe's place as a good story teller or one of the best masters of realism in literature is assured, Nobel or no Nobel. He was a readable writer.

On point 5, you didn't mention that WS agreed that genocide took place and federal troops were responsible
