aryzgreat: Wia did ds nematode escape from? So Achebe did not win nobel award bc according to u, he spew hate and bile against Nigeria? So nobel is a Nigerian award? Before Achebe wrote "there was a country" yorubas never attcked him, but they turned vernomous after Achebe wrote d blunt truth about Awo-ole. SMH for tribalistic scums called yoruba! To hell with all of u and ur thin god awo-ole, he was a murderer and should be tried post humously in Hague for war crime against women and children of Biafra! mtcheeeeeeeew! |

OP I forever thank you for your post. I had an argument with a friend based on what you discussed not far long. As far as I am concerned Soyinka is the true Nigeria. Even after being imprisoned by the FG for trying to broker peace during the Biafran, he still served by forming the FRSC and accepted the award. He had nothing to lose in that war yet he risked his life. Okigbo fought for what he believed in and died for it. But what did Achebe do? Stay from his foreign base and spew hate and bile. That is why he never won the Nobel award. He was a great man in the literary circle, but he could not transcend his tribal notions. That is why his prodigee Chiamanda could have the audacity to say "I'm Igbo and African". She like her mentor did not believe in Nigeria. We don't need such people in our trying moments like this 1 Like |

jimcaddy: I really wonder if some people watched the game ysterday or wat they do is to hate bcause its Man Utd. United rily controlled d game caus Fergie got his tactics spot on. He knew a draw wuld send us thru, dat explains why rooney and chicharito were sat on d bench. Poor officiating from the turkish ref. He shld have used his fucking discretion to give nani a yellow just for the sake of this big match. Didn't De Jong get a yellow for a red card tackle on xabi alonso at the world cup? Just for the fucking sake of the match turkish ref. That decision ruined the tactics and gave madrid an extra edge. Even if madrid were still goin to beat us, at least we wuld not have gone down like dis without a fight. But we live to fight anoda day. Am glad UEFA has made their moni for pairing a game like dis at this stage. We still have two trophies to play for, so it wuldnt be a bad season afterall.How did Man U̶̲̥̅̊ control the game? You were out played in possession, shots on targets and even corner kicks. Perhaps you watched the match on a black and white television set 1 Like |

My problem with all these folks with a foreign degree is that they still have the Naija mentality: 'Looking for a job. Can't you create one? Apart from your foreign degree what else can you offer. It beats me that with all the 'exposure' you get abroad, a foreign degree holder can't create a job, meanwhile they are people do it here in Nigeria. You think the country owes you something because of your foreign accent? Abeg park well. These folks are so quick to point out how the educational system is better, yet they still 'look' fo jobs.

Okpu-achi In the tiny city of london The land of trading soujourners Neighours to female husbands And dancing warriors You stand on your throne At the town centre Okpu-Achi Like a baby to mama's nipple Kindred suck from your roots Even the far-travelled son Lost in the city's belly May but find his way home To you. To rest Okpu-Achi Your shoulders rest the eagle Your fingers caress the heavens In recesses of your shade Old flames kiss and play Leaving twigs of love nests Built under your bosom. You stand tall, unbent But for how long? Would you tarry this great flood Of the Ishimokoto river That deafens the rantings of Ikoro How long, before Abriba falls? Okpu-Achi |

It is normal for people to respond the way you guys are doing, but any student of culture would understand the intrcacies in the act. The boy is standing in place for his grandfather who never had a white wedding. As such, the boy is merely a stand-in person for the grandfather to complete the ritual (for whatever purpose not explained). It can be likened for a relative standing in for someone getting married. The boy is not 'married' persay to the woman. |

Ishi you are a very wonderful writer. I laughed all through, but your imagery was also powerful " The journey back in deep silence is a colourless blur of passing trees and bushes, mud houses, gliding tar black earth and the warmth of Honourable's hand. Each mile we passed brought me closer and closer to the place I had reluctantly made my home. I tried to run from The Place, but somehow, mischief always chased me back, howling like a frightened cat. " Keep it up. |
| Poems For Review › Re: I Need A Black Jesus by afroxyz(op): 3:33pm On Feb 01, 2013 |
I have read comments arguing for and against the poem. Some arguments were based on critical analyses, most on sentiments. The question I ask everyone is did Jesus bring any religion? No. All religions are ways through which diffrent societies sought to communicate with the supernatural. Just as our languages are diffrent, so are our social experiences and reaction to these experiences based on our perceptions. God exists, but people communicate with him in diffrent ways. Religion like other social phenomena evolves. Again I pose another question: how would those that existed before the coming of Jesus be judged? God is bigger than the mental contraptions we are putting up. We are lockikng God behind the bars of religion and that way we can't feel his awesomeness. The poem is talking about adopting our own solutions since it is US that experience these peculiar problems. How come we were doing better before these foreign adoptions? Have they served us more profitably? Hence the third question: look around and tell me any society that developed on foreign culture and religion. I rest my cae. To those who feel that God is the exclusive right of their religion (which every religion claims), sorry. Its much bigger than you. Just as there are diffrent races, but we are all human beings, we mourn, celerbrate birth, have urge for sex and defecate et al, so are diffrent religions which have a common feature of L♥√, unity, brotherhood, prayer and fasting, killing of the ego or lesser self. Hence one God. |

I need a black Jesus Someone like me Who speaks my language And knows what I feel Not the blond hair, blue eyes But wolly hair, brown eyes Someone who comes from within Not from across the sea Not the artistic creation Brought to life By micheal-angelo's brush And the catholic pope A black Jesus Who knows how to be African Understand my mother tongue Eats yam and kolanut. He would not despise my skin Or castigate my kin Telling me I'm ham's descendant That's I'm the white's servant A black jesus Who our leaders would revere And dare not swear an oath Unless prepared Yes he would resurrect With me and my spirit We would walk the seas together And feed the ignorant multitude Not the one that has created rift And torn my brothers apart His name on the slave ship And endorsed the apartheid Black Jesus, where are you? Unsettle my reality Tell me the devil wears white 'Cos he is an angel We need a black Jesus To free us from this rot Not the one packaged and sold to us And shares birthday with the sun god |
| Literature › Beyond The Rainbow by afroxyz(op): 7:42pm On Jan 25, 2013 |
There resides no gold But the wizard of Oz Conjuring altered egos Over the rainbow. Where monarch butterflies, Skid on umbrellas of petals In well manicured gardens Fertilized by ash. Swiped lives, Like touch screens Awake in a trance Slaving for the system. Over the rainbows, Is where we find democracy Red-dressed, arm-wrestled By corporate machines. The butterfly of morality, Probes not its proboscis On the petals of politics Or suck of its nectar. Over the rainbow. Is where we locked God Behind the bars of religion Sealed in dogmatic boxes. Society is pricked With ideological needles Our reactions, our norms Forged in philosophical labs Over the rainbow, Beauty is the mirror's customer Sanity in my insanity 'Cos a big-brother defines my reality Over the rainbow lies heaven, Nirvana of our fantasies But fantasies are treasures Beyond the rainbows |

You have built walls Round your fortress Maginot lines of defense To shield your opulence. You laugh at them. The poor and down-stricken. Nothing but tools to be used Then dumped like tissues. They chant free songs, Through bars and wires Their cries and pain, Tear no holes in your skin You soothe their wounds, With religion and faith. Trapping their thoughts In hopeful hopelessness. Severing their chains, With ethnic jingos. Mis-educating with education Choreographed reality tv They bow their heads, But their anger stands. Waiting for the tunes From the flutes of anomie The laws you built Are sand castles at shore The ocean of revolution Laughs at you Dark shadows lurk By your bedside Bastards orphaned by The light you killed Dance steps of rage Held bound in broken cages Reflections of their true self Come alive in broken mirrors Your power is an umbrella To dark hurricanes fermenting afar. Like the ants that gather grain. In anticipation of the rain. For pay day shall come When the people's anger Shall be cashed and withdrawn To buy your lives. Soldiers would go on strike, The police would take to flight Even justice would be blind When sorrow imprisons your smile -It is just a matter of time. |
