bigdoo: I just ordered the last hard copy of the book from Amazon today for £10.00 and it will arrive at my house tomorrow. Meanwhile I reserve my comments. They say that "seeing is believing". However, I know that "controversy always creates cash". So I suppose that this book might even fetch Chinua Achebe more money than his ever-popular "Things Fall Apart". Let the music play on.the book will sell more than things fall apart, especially the e version. achebe will break his own record. |

hotwax: I salute you yoruba people in the house. You did not slack at all. I am really impressed. They though they can distort history. Who can satisfy these igbo people. Wole soyink who fought for biafra, prosecuted for biafra. Is he not yoruba? How do igbos talk about him? They still mock soyinka. Why? Because he is yoruba.shut your dirty mouth and show me where igbos mocked soyinka. if you have facts to prove achebe wrong come out and publish your own account, not even obasanjo or gowon who are stil alive have come out to prove him wrong. secondly the book is not igbos writting about yorubas its achebe writting his account og the war, mumu |

Prof Corruption:why start with number 2 , who pioneered corruption and crises? was awolowo not jailed for trying to topple the govt? was it also igbo people that where rigging election, killing yorubas in the west and stealing billions of pounds mean t for the people? |

Prof Corruption:are you this dumb? why didnt gowon implement aburi when he returned, nobody till today have answered that question. as per the spoils of war, we see how the north indeed is enjoying spoils of war and also all the oil well in the igboland where bought by igbos so your comment about spoils of war will only fraustrte the ogoni, itshekiris and co whos oil wels are in the hands of the northerners and the yorubas who have lost their several leaders and of course the igbos who want presidency , i say your case is a typical case of slave mentality ,as far as my slave master is happy anything goes. |

Prof Corruption:you made no sense , achebe have given his account of the war , wh not publish your own account. how come none of the people that participated in the war have come out to prove him wrong ,not even obasanjo or gowon that is still alive. |
Politics / Re: Awolowo's Daughter To Achebe: We Are Disappointed by bashr8: 5:31pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
Dudu_Negro:first get to the root of the current arguement, was achebes allegation against gowon and awo right or wrong. then we can start going back to what happened before then. i watched the whole video myself if there was no massive coruption and killings in the south west the coup would not have happened to start with. |
Politics / Re: Awolowo's Daughter To Achebe: We Are Disappointed by bashr8: 5:27pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
Prof Corruption:you can shout all you like , after the counter coup the north dissociated themselves from nigeria but were advised by britain about the value of oil. shout from today till tomorrow fact remains that achebe wrote what we all already know |
Politics / Re: Awolowo's Daughter To Achebe: We Are Disappointed by bashr8: 5:24pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
Prof Corruption:so in essence there was a policy by gowon and awo so why are we still arguing , whether it was right(according to you, awoowo , gowon britain and co)or wrong (according to me, achebe , biafrans and international organisations )depends on how we view life. |

Prof Corruption:this thread is about whether there was a starvation policy by gowon and awolowo controlled federal govt or not . and the answer is yes so why are yorubas mad that awolowo was named.open another thread lets discus who started the war, why ,w hen and whatever. 1 Like |

ndu_chucks:in essence there was a starvation polic by the federal govt headed by gowon and awolowo so why are some people mad at achebe for writting it in his memoir and insulting igbos ? why would any sane person want to be in a country that uses starvation policy to solve its problem , send soldiers to maidugri and odi to massacres innocent women and children? i think most of us are still blind , today while bokohrem is killing innocent peole the army is also doing their own killing the same yorubas shouting all over the place have forgotten operation wettie where yorubas where killing themselves, over 2 thoudand yorubas dead just because one faction wants to protect the interest of the then northern controled govt.smh |

Dudu_Negro:exactly and he is publishing his own account of the event so why are you mad at him and all igbo people for that? why should he heal when nothing have changed in nigeria |
Politics / Re: Awolowo's Daughter To Achebe: We Are Disappointed by bashr8: 5:06pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
Dudu_Negro: ........i should add, that Ojukwu had three options he could have invoked and he did not. Instead he choosed to starve his people so their death could be weapons for more propaganda and ultimately force international support and recognition for Biafra.yes we can argue about ojukwus in another thread like we have done a million times. |

shymexx:if shit gets real means finally ending the false one nigeria and disintegretion then we will be very happy. why are the so called online forums not attacking achebe for writting about gowon too? why is their anger directed at igbos and swearing rather than countering achebes fact like matured people? that is because this is an opportunity for them all to say what have been on their mind but have been pretending and shouting one nigeria. remember a nigerian yoruba chief justice or something like that once made a public statement sometime last year that if igbos dare try to leave nigeria again the govt will use starvation and wipe them out , maybe you were not a member when it was disccussed here last year, now who hates who? lets stop deceiving ourselves. |

tuasefemi: Honestly,I never knew this old man is this so useless. Where was he when Papa Awo was alive? Why did he keep mute all this while when he had something of such "importance" in his dirty mind? Cowardice I suppose!unfortunately awo was in the federal cabinet when the war occured, achebe cannot include everyone that participated in the war on both sides and exclude awolowo because yorubas love him , that will be a dumb thing to do. |

olivertwist:some people can claim that what happened was right(Like you claim) while some can claim that is was wrong but what achebe did is just state what happened. if the case were reversed, they war would not have continued cus igbos will have seen it as an opportunity to finally leave nigeria from the dominance of the north. |

dealslip: Some of d comments here are S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ childish and lacks substance.this book is about achebe writting about the war and all the people involved and not igbos writting about yorubas, how hard is it to comprehend, igbos dont hate anybody cus hate is bad for buisness. if what we see in oyo, osun ,ogun and co are civilization to you then am sory for this country but thats off topic. the question remains for those that have actually read the book ,is achebe account of the war accurate or not? |

krispycash: my friend... if i can be permitted to call u that... like u said, his personal experience. .. so apparently not directed to d general igbo populace... only God knows what grudge lay between them then... i mean between awo n achebe. ... no need for all this hostility... if a few would be different and stand out, people would follow suit.... there is no use for d tribal insults... we can state our views and leave it at that leaving out d insults and d curses....the tribal insults came from useless e warriors like dayokanu, rhino and co turning it into igbo/yoruba bashing like every other thread. yes a lot of igbos hate awolowo and they should after all he was part of the federal executive during the war but then we all love fela, soyinka and fashola even though sometimes nut they commot for fashola head)secondly awolowo is not the only person igbos hate we also hate poeople like T.A orji , ibb, elechi amadi etc whther they are igbo or not. |

hotwax: We hate all the tribes in Nigeria, we always find faults of other tribes. Other tribes offended us. Ijaw, calabar, yoruba, hausa, fulanis all offended us.igbos dont hate anybody , we live all over nigeria ,employ people from all over nigeria , marry from all the tribes. achebe criticizing awolowo and gowon who where heading the federal government during the war does not mean igbos hate yorubas, use your brain for once. |

madridsta007: Hitler, the head Nazi was a German. All Germans were not Nazi. Same with the Yoruba Nation. All Yoruba's are not Awoists even though all Awoists are Yorubas.achebe is not trying to insult the yorubas, he criticize gowon, obasanjo, ojukwu, awolowo etc he just wrote it as he saw it. |

krispycash: its sad how the words of one man, can cause so much raucous amongst friends... please if you're bitter about what they say awo did when he was alive, why don't u wait till u die then lodge a formal complaint against him anywhere u land... cool H" or hot h". which ever way, your hatred for your fellow man will only make u like the person u claim is evil... im a proud yoruba boy... my best friend was igbo, he's late and i still shed tears when i think of him... i love the igbo tribe... so why hate d Yoruba? u might just age on time cos of d grudge you carry... so my igbo brothers n sisters. . love your neighbor as yourself... heaven and hell are for real...the book is not complaint against awo, it is his personal account of the civil war, several nigerians published theirs including obasanjo . gowon ,ojukwu and co where all mentioned in achebes book but trust yorubas to tribalize it not only insulting achebe but the whole igbo race. since this started yorubas have finally been showing their true colour ,writting about how they support what happened and how they wish igbos will be cleansed from lagos and your telling me we should move on? better stop deceiving yourself. |
