EzeUche: Chinua Achebe brought pride to all of AFRICA.

Not only are Nigerians in debt to him, but all of Africa. Thankfully most Africans realize this except for some members of a certain tribe who see nothing good from his people.

When people talk about hate, you can just read this thread and see how one group can hate another with a passion.
Their population sef no reach 1 percent of the Achebe lovers all over the world. So they are of no consequence.

EzeUche: All I can say is WOW at this thread.

Yesterday, all the news channels were talking about the death of Profesor Achebe and some bigots have the nerve what did he actually do to promote "development" in Nigeria.

Some of these Yorubas are filled with nothing but hate.
Cowards and Hausa side-kicks best describes them sir.

The world population is 6 billion. The Yoruba population is about 0.1 percent of that. So who gives a rat's ass about your opinion? The entire world knows the truth and is busy eulogizing Achebe and his good works. Your tiny 0.1 percent of ranters can continue ranting ad infinitum. it's just like a drop of acid in the ocean. It is just like a noise made by a fool, signifying nothing. Una Goodnight joo.

They have many heroes na.

Zik - greatest African

Oju-iku - greatest iboman

Emeagwali - Father of the internet shocked

Ashebe - Greatest Nigerian

What if we now add clifford orji and reverend king ? Greatest biafrans I guess.
At least none of them is a treasure looter. Unlike some people.

0lumide: Exactly what has Achebe done to help development in Africa? What has he done?

Name one thing he has done instead of accusing people of being tribal.

Will the English people call Shakespeare a hero?

Sydney Sheldon? You people are dumb nut jobs
Go to the post on obituaries of Achebe and read that yourself dude. Stop exhibiting ignorance here joo.

Mr. Globe:
What more is there to be said. Nairaland is like a field where retartded individuals have the opportunity to display foolishness and relate with smart and intelligent folks. The Op will have such fraudsters as awolowo, Fashola and Tinubu as a hero and contributor to the development of Nigeria as against people like Achebe and Soyinka
Achebe was a pan african. His views go beyond the shores of nigeria. If the OP fails to see what he contributed to nigeria, then thats his biz. Awo was great but only in his own Yoruba enclave. Achebe on d oda hand is a world renowned figure.

bolaino: I know I'm going to get lots of insults thrown on my person after creating this topic, but to me the truth is better, I'm not a tribalist or an ethnic bigot, on the other hand I'm a proud Nigerian, one who believes that there is still hope for our great nation, I grew up reading literary works of chinua achebe, and I enjoyed his master piece (things fall apart) so much that I always re enacted this story whenever I was bored while growing up, the author of the book seemed bigger than life to me then, but growing up I discovered one thing about this man, he was a sadist, a pessimist, and a bad critic, he never saw the country Nigeria amounting to anything, he was always quick to condemn from the high pedestal which the "white man" put him, no doubt he has made Nigeria proud in the aspect of literature, but what has he done to help build this country? This is a man who spent half his life abroad pointing out problems of this country, but never offering sound possible solutions to these problems, this man hated his father land so much that he refused a national award twice, I believe that his refusal to accept the national awards stemmed from his hatred of his fatherland, not solely cos he felt the governments had failed the people, this man was not a man of the people as most people are claiming, rather he was a man against the people, he was a doomsday individual, he was hoping for the collapse of this our great country, he hated the market woman, the taxi driver and even the lawyer, he saw Nigerians as a people who could never change for the better, chinua achebe made us proud with his literary works, but aside from that he did not contribute enough for the over all development of this country, we've heard of great doctors who left the western world to come and practice in bush Africa, these men are the kind of people we should look up to, let me not say more, but I believe I have made my views known, may his soul rest, I hope he is buried in the United states.
Another useless rant from another Yoruba man.

4chi: ...unfortunately Achebe himself did not adhere to this cardinal principle when he was running his mouth when Awo died. Hope his ibo kinsmen appreciate his passion for them and they accord him a good burial. Shame, he could have aroused so much national euphoria but for his utterly bigoted fart of a book called "there was a country".
LAST TIME I CHECKED, ECOMIUMS WERE POURING FROM ALL OVER NIGERIA (with d exception of some bigot Yorobbers of course) AND EVEN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. Accept it dude, AWO was just a local champion and is nowhere as famous and revered the world over than our Prof Chinua Achebe. You may kindly go for a drink of rat poison if e dey pain you for body.

taharqa: I still am unable to process that he is gone. Achebe was not just my Best writer, he was one of d very very few humans, dead or alive, I took as a Teacher esp as a Scholar and a pan-Africanist... You can undastad the utter DISGUST I felt when sm small minds (and we unfortunately hv lots of those on NL these days) actuali attemptd to induct him into NL's Hall of Shame cos of HATE and a dilipidating IGNORANCE that rests on Stupidi.ty. The Intervention of @Seun, stopping dat charade, was about d best things he ever did in my view. The alternative wud hv causd INCALCULABLE Demage..... I wish Nigerian Youths can start reasoning FOR themselves, and stop following the CROWD
The so called youths were all ignorant demented YARIBAS. Little wonder then that they behave just like their fathers did before them.
