dayokanu: Oya Baby mama dem don respond to you

Baby mama: Do you know the definition of a memoir?
I doubt it

If you have a copy,tell me the last word on page 174

Andre Uweh: Most of the who chat crap here have not read the memoir. Their attitude is very nonsensical.

basisop: Shame on Jarus!

kulyie: If you know your worth,if you know how inestimably valuable you are you will not reduce yourself to a level where anybody will spit on you.its obvious you lack self esteem and you need to get your dignity back,abi did they have sex with you in the bush and your parents forced you on him without proper marriage rites when they realised you were pregnant? Because thats the only people i know men treat with contempt.you deserve better than this,because i cant imagine anyone spitting on me,men,whoever he is he will pay for damages and his entire family will go through hell before i back off.he will have to apologize prostrating wherever he did that act including his parents otherwise i will use everything am worth to reduce him to a nonentity

tarababy: he is a yoruba man.full blown nigerian with niger mentality.

ileobatojo: Lmao! Honestly, my first thought was, why did she go digging in the gutter when looking for a husband? But then I wondered why the gutter in him would lay dormant for 3 yrs. Strange shyte.

Sincere 9gerian: I'v read thru some comments and seen the argument go back and forth. This arguement can continue forever with no side willing to admit anything. However, two factors VINDICATE the Igbos and Achebe.

1)One is the ROT that Nigeria is today. With the loose federal structure(the Aburi Accord) proposed by Ojukwu would have made Nig see much more progress

2) the fact that Nig will sooner or later disintegrate to pieces

afam4eva: Isn't it common sense?

Awo was a tribal leader of some sort so to the eye of the average easterner, it would mean that. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. At least we'll never know that. That's why it's a personal opinion. That's something you guys have to deal with.

afam4eva: So, what's you accusation against Achebe again?

shymexx: Word!!

And at a time when the country needs someone in his position to champion that elusive unity - he blew it!!

tarababy: I have been married to my hubby for 5 years now.For the past two years anytime we have disagreement or quarrel,he would spit on my face.I have had a heart to heart discussion with him to stop this disgraceful habit and he promised to stop but still did it four days ago.

Even my mum came all the way from Nigeria to plead with him here in England to stop spitting on me. Anytime I call my mum about this matter,she would start crying saying my husband is laying a curse on me and nothing good will come out of me if he continues.

I am losing interest in this marriage because there is no hope that he would ever change.I do not think any normal man would spit on his dog,let alone his wife.
He says he sees me as a poo at that moment and that his why he does it.HE is the type that loses his temper easily and would do nasty thing,which he later regrets .He is a forty year old man,who has refused to grow up.

married and matured minds in the house, do you think am wasting my time with this man?

afam4eva: And what's the truth, Mr Truthella. It's only when it comes from your mouth or the mouth of your tribesmen that it's the truth, right?

afam4eva: You call it lies but him and most Igbo people don't see it so. If you also write yours, we'll call it lies whether it's the truth or not. We'll all agree to disagree even when presented with superior argument that is superior depending on who is seeing it and how the person is seeing it. That;s the human nature. Deal with it.

afam4eva: Don't put words into Achebe's mouth. he has written his war memoir the way he saw and perceived it. You guys should write your own.

afam4eva: Saying it was Ojukwu's fault will be looking at it in plain black and white. Don't forget the reason why Ojukwu decided to declare Biafra in the first place. I'm not saying Ojukwu is totally right for declaring Biafra at the time that he did. maybe if it was someone else, he would have done things a little bit differently. Now, we're not talking about Ojukwu's fault and Awolowo's good samatarian disposition before the war. This is strictly about the policy of starvation. let's stick to that.

Nobody has named Awolowo as the sole character responsible for the war. Only myopic minds would even think so. Many of you have also forgotten that Gowon was also mentioned in that Memoir but no one is talking about it.Immiediately you guys just saw AWO's name you just started singing "Kill am, catch am, die[b][/b]" without even going through the whole book. Some other characters both non-Igbos and Igbos alike have also been blamed one way or the other about the war but you won't see that. It's only the one about Awo that tickles your fancy.

afam4eva: I don't know why some of you just lack common sense. I don';t think anyone has said Awolowo never reached out to the est and advised them not to go to war. That's not the point. Obviously, Ojukwu and the east defied the advise and went ahead to declare Biafra(now war). Now, we're talking about Awo's hand during the war and not before the war. Address that and stop moving goal post.

ballabriggs: Quite unlike a m0r0n like you, I have never said there was a need for the war. I try to have a balanced view with an open mind. I am not interested in "Awo", I focus on issues. And that is what is expected of you at your age instead of sticking to the tales most of our parents told us on the war or sticking to the view that Awo is infallible. Awo made mistakes just like every other human, however, what I find most disgusting is the attempt by you dolts to canonise him overnight. Absolutely ridiculous!

afam4eva: Bros, i thought you were Igbo.

afam4eva: Can you pls expatiate on the bolded.

ballabriggs: That is a freaking lie. Awo had such an ambition. Before and after the first coup, there was a "we against them mentality" in the country. It was not and never limited to the Yoruba people alone. The North had that mentality and same with the east.

It was a mentality of hate built by selfish politicians including Awo. You cannot exonerate him from those events. So some of you here coming to accuse the man of being a bigot without an understanding of the environment at the time are absolutely daft.

shymexx: Read what?? A book by the head of the Biafran propaganda machine, no??

Nah, why can't you open my head - and superglue the biased, sentimental, and the ethnocentric jejune fictional tale there??

ballabriggs: Awo had no ambition? You are a big m0r0n.

ballabriggs: That is the problem with most of you. You do not sound like someone who has read the book. You just hear Awo's name being mentioned and you spring up. Did Achebe ever state that Awo never made such visits?

Go and read the book and read it properly with an open mind before typing your trash here. Achebe may have gotten some things wrong but one thing you cannot deny is the fact that Awo had an ambition and he went about it playing the tribal card. It is not different from what we see in today's politics.

Ibime: You want me to dance alanta because he scored one goal in a walkover? Where was he against Corinthians and every tough game this season.

I haven't watched today's match but I know he hasn't stopped falling over, dribbling himself and controlling the ball like a paraplegic. Na these things go matter next time the next big game comes around.

Ibime: We scored 5 goals in 30 mins with Torres off the pitch

3 goals in 60 mins with Torres on the pitch.
Anyone who was there knew we were much better when Torres left,
^^^^That's what I'm hearing from a caller on 606 right now. . . and I don't doubt it!!!

Ibime: Please we just won 8-0. Make una kill these shekpe keeper yarns, make we dance jigolo

dayokanu: If there was financial strenght would RvP, Rooney, Ferdinand, Young, Valencia Carrick etc end up at Man Utd?

montelik: That is why I say he is player of the season so far. He is not only the best full-back, but the best winger on the team performance wise. As for Rooney, all I can say is when Kagawa gets fit, maybe he will find the level of play required for his 250k wages or he ends up on the bench.

dayokanu: Barcelona supply 90% of players in the Spanish team
Puyol, Pique, Alba, Fabregas, Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Villa, Pedro
The last world cup final Barca had 7 players starting,
That must show how Barcelona dominates the La Liga

Roland17: Dayo, this is a very simple question, WHICH OTHER TEAM CAN FINANCIALLY WRESTLE AGAINST HOLLYWOOD FC IN GERMANY

Man City or Chelsea could easily have signed RVP if it was an issue of the highest bidder, but he looked at his chances of a silverware and you don't need a soothsayer to tell u its Man Utd..

dayokanu: Just like Man Utd is in England . Man Utd bullies other clubs

When was the last game all these made the first 11?

Just last summer Dortmund snatched Reus away from Bayern
