₦airaland Forum

I had to plead with moderators to be prudent in removing posts because one ill-informed troll thought the post was false representation of facts.

I had to appreciate it if such post should be a matter of debate. There are known dunces on this forum and it will be a disservice to intellectual exercise if the moderators would act on the urging of these classic clowns.

dayokanu: Dendemorron Kedu maka ahia.

We should appreciate the civilzed people who didnt kidnap the driver and the lorry like they would have done on the other side

I must say thank goodness the driver was not wearing a skirt.

aryzgreat: Nobel prize is just an award, compare dat with d likes of Gani fahwenmi who got 3rd class but was among d best in law practice in Nigeria. Am nt pertubed by their denying him d award, His works and encomiums being poured on him will outlive any Nobel awarded him.

@ topic, its glaring that Achebe touched livess, he made many of us have a sense of belonging as Africans through his writtings. The home champions trying hard to dent his records have failed woefully.

Weldone Kenyan writer. Adieu sir!

I am not perturbed by the seemingly open denial of the award to Achebe. It has even downed on me that Achebe would have been the first person ever walked the surface of the earth to reject the Nobel Prize if awarded to him.

The discussion surrounding Achebe’s death had provided the opportunity to educate some loudmouthed Yoruba peeps that Nobel Prize is a mere dog collar tag.

isaco: Anambra State Elders Council wants state burial for the Ikenga-Ogidi-born literary legend, Prof. Chinua Achebe who died last Friday in the United States at the age of 82. The point am trying to bring out is that, when he was alive, national hounour was given to him by the government of federal republic of nigeria but the Late Prof rejected it, I think giving him state burial will be against his wish now that his no more! What is your opinion about this?

It appears your foolery does not know boundaries. What makes a waste-pipe such as you a pro-Achabe? Did Achebe reject any state honor given to him by Anambra State government?

It is safe to conclude that your stream of thought is very idiotic at best.

Tolexander: These are intelligent and sensible people unlike some people who will go straight to fetch the petrol not minding if there will be explosion or not.

If stealing petrol from an overturned tanker is regarded as an intelligent and sensible act by you, I now know why stealing is common among certain ethnicity in Nigeria.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]everytime ibo elders hold conference on ibo future where di they meet at? they meet in yorubaland. when hausa chase your brothers from north where they run to? to yorubaland.

ibo currently exist in name only. your political future is ruined, your homeland is ruined, your women are marrying other tribes and finding a new future for their children, your biafra is ruined, ......pretty soon the ibo tribe will be history, on paper only! you see it happening alresdy.....your brothers prefer to die in hausaland than go home...the ones in lagos will endure humiliation and abuse just to belong in yorubaland - see picture. the ones in north are supporting and carrying flag for your oppressors just so they are spared from deportation - see picture. ijaw has overtaken you and are stepping over your head with political insults and indifference.

the whole land has rejected you, everybody is fvking over you....but yet you keep latching on to this abstract thinking that you are brave. show us the braveness for once and give a resolute response to your oppressors in north......or better yet, raise a finger of rebellion in West. Do something for once....for once, to give action to this empty cry of bravery.

pack of COWARDS!! [/quote]The above post is ranting of a deluded ant.

I guess sudden defecation is inherent among Yoruba peeps.

I say shame to Nobel Prize Committee for overlooking Achebe because of his critical essay against Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and the gauntlet Things Fall Apart threw at the foot of colonialism and imperialism.

I have long noticed the award from the so-called laureate organization is to promote primordial class distinction based on European's figment of imagination and to perpetuate inferior mentality.

Eko Ile: The difference is clear. Educate and emancipate yourself from ashebe hate, bitterness and bigoted mentality.

Eko Ole

You have demonstrated again you are ill-educated and thanks to fee educational system introduced in western region of Nigeria via Awolowo.

I say shame on the so-called Nigerians who had the effrontery to doubt Achebe’s contribution to African continent.

Dayolodo

I urge you to tread carefully when fetching the substance from the overturned tanker because petrol can be volatile in nature. Even if you are an olodo, there is use for drooling niggers such as you in Nairaland.

Abagworo: This is Wetheral road now. You were the one that personally posted pictures of its open drainage and worn out median some months ago.

You are furiously making me doubt if you are capable of crossing a heavy traffic carriageway without an elder. Wetheral road remains one of the best roads in Owerre even before Mbakwe was elected governor in Imo State. It is only in your destitute world that covering a gutter with concrete slab is a gubernatorial achievement.

matrixme: I quite agree with the topic on this one. Achebe is not a progressive, rather a great literary icon.

Where is the Achebe Library or grant for young African writers of today? Where is the Chinua Achebe foundation for Peace and Reconciliation or HIV/AIDS research? Don't Nigeria or the Igbo people have enough vices on their own that he could have use his positive, prominent attention to confront?

Yes he excelled in Literature, yet probably the only person he may have mentored is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I don't think the literary chair is the best place to change the world positively. You either get up and start a revolution or take the Mother Theresa approach. Perhaps, Wole Soyinka understands this now.

I wonder if you understood the meaning of word – progressive. With no pun intended, I must say your post reeks of ignorance. You are one of many Nigerians who think that alms giving by rogue politicians is progressive. What a misplaced priority. Every revolution known to mankind has started through the power of pen, olodo.

Bigcake: Packing my bags, cnt wait for d birth of Federal Republic of Niger Delta. Whr Asari Dokubo will be the first Minister of Defence, Henry Okah wil be Chief of Army Staff. Godswill Akpabio, Donald Duke, Pat. Utomi and Chris Ekiyo for President in a two party system.

No right thinking Igbo son or daughter will be associated with Republic of Niger Delta when there is a Redeem Republic of Igbo land. Are you intend to have a foreigner as the president of Republic of Niger Delta?

dayokanu: The whole SouthWest got 36 slots with a population of almost 40m while Anambra alone got 32 slots with a population of about 3million

I hope when people are screaming marginalisation they know what they are talking about cos soon very soon the shoe would be on the other foot

Dayolodo

I urge you to support the disintegration of Nigeria so that the inhabitants of Oodua Republic will get 100% slot in OAMA recruitment drive. Quit whining like a Yoruba love peddler who failed in the business.

Who gives a ratazz about the sources of regrets in case Nigeria disintegrates? Afenifere is a known deceitful and cowardice organization. It can never be taken seriously in the contest of Nigerian polity.

There is nothing more welcoming to a progressive Nigerian than the alleged comment by Lawal Kaita. Those who had longed for disintegration of cesspit called Nigeria must work extremely hard to ensure that a northerner did not emerge in 2015.

dayokanu: Yorubas can't unite with coward back stabbers who would kill our leaders and spare theirs

Dayolodo

I suggest you tread carefully with your putrid loud mouth. Ndigbo understood the DNA makeup of the Yoruba peeps. I can safely say that bravery is not one of the constituent elements.

[quote author=*556#]There was a coup and all the igbo tribal leaders were mysteriously missing right? Michael Okpara was missing, Nnamdi Azikwe was missing, Aguyi Ironsi that you lot said was among those marked for death was somehow somehow missed and later became the head of state and his first assignment was to truncate the regional system of government in order to make you rule and dominate others? Did you igbos mocked the northerners or not, after killing their leaders? Did igbo musicians released musical album celebrating the death of Tafawa Balewa and Sardauna, depicting them as cowards in core northern states or not? Did Major chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu granted an interview describing how he shot Sardauna point blank or not? Did Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu said Sardauna ran and hid himself among women and children poking fun after killing one of the most revered northern leader in cold blood or not? You went on your planned ethnic cleansing, spilling the blood of the innocent souls and called revolution, I guess the definition of revolution forbade killing of igbos right? Ofcourse, na only igbos get sense pass.

When asked about his relationship with Aguyi ironsi, did he( chukwuma Nzeogwu) said Ironsi is " my boss" and am working with him or not? You igbos can continue repeating these lies thinking that one day some people will accept it as truth. Was Ifeajuna reporting to zik or not? Why did Aguyi Ironsi refused to court marshal the igbo coup plotters months after the incident? Instead of punishing the coup plotters, did Aguyi Ironsi not transferred them to east or not? Why did Chinua Achebe refused publishing the manuscript of Ifeajuna in his bigoted lies called "There was a country?"

Here is a man, that is widely regarded as literary giant telling us bare faced lies that he lost the manuscript handed to him by Ifeajuna explaining everything about the coup. If you like, write more lies but it won't change the fact that igbo power thirsty men went on killing every other person to pave way for their tribes men to rule and dominate others.[/quote]These Nowa Omoigui's craps are too old. In fact, they are arrant nonsense.

Aigbofa: Aguiyi Ironsi was bigger and taller and therefore Fajuyi couldn't protect him? Are you trying to be funny?

How funny do you mean? I am trying very hard to convince tribal irredentists in non-military terms that Fajuiyi had no control of the gatemen and could not have been in any position to protect an ant.

Katsumoto: Some folks are innately stupid; nothing you can do about it. A man was killed in cold blood but we have to accept his murderer's version of events.

The response above explains the irony of Nigeria’s predicament. Ironsi was murdered in cool blood and you, of all people, accepted the version of events from those that murdered him.

Aigbofa: You are the dumb one as far as this discussion is concerned. You still can't provide any evidence of Fajuyi's involvent in the coup. You still can't provide any evidence Fajuyi did not die protecting Ironsi.
The only evidence you have is from a murderer who knows the consequences of what he did.
This is like asking a murderer to deliver the judgement in his own trial.

Did you read the excerpts from the interview granted by Lt William Walbe posted by ACM10? How could Fajuiyi protect Ironsi when he, Fajuiyi, had no command of the gatemen? From the pictures taken of Ironsi and Fajuiyi, Aguiyi Ironsi was the taller and bigger of the two characters.

ACM10: Fucck off with your stuupidity

Katsumoto would want to believe everybody nitwit but the soldiers in government house in Ibadan during the wee hours of July 29, 1966.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]^^^^ Mr. Gull has done it again. I gbadun you.



www.nairaland.com/attachments/229503_ROFLMAODog_gif3fa44b12f55ba64fc785c3a5794ba92e[/quote]I shall watch you closely.

OAM4J: Thank you. I will review your sources.



Ibo and Yooba are acceptable. If Yoruba is also valid for Yoruba, then we will accept it.

I shall advise you to exercise extreme degree of prudence when dealing with Dede1. One of the banes confronting Nigerian socio-political progress is the so-called free education. I honestly believed that Nigeria is not the correct home for Nigerians. The moment we embrace the truth and attend to our tents, mutual respect will flourish, healthy competition will surface and honest corporation will be ensured.

Eko Ile: Who needs that hate filled people like you and ashebe as compatriots and of what use was ashebe as an elder and a nigerian when all he had was hate and contempt for his country and fellow Nigerians?

Soyinka was jailed in the same Nigeria while fighting for a better Nigeria which he's still doing, not promoting hatred and enmity, not writing hate filled books full of animosity and needless tribal supremacy.

Is this what you call contribution? obviously and war or no war, the man was just personally a hateful and vengeful human being and he let it let it out in his books, actions and utterances.

And you need to shut up about America and American authors because American authors don't write hate books, they are not tribalists, they don't denegrating and insult other people in their books.

What's next? his last book that upset and decided the country was progress too right?

Go and read up the definition of progress.

Eko Ole

You start off on this forum as a toddler with a bit organized social order but the need to pander to tribal crap has reduced you to less unimportant contributor. When did public disturbance become contribution to progress? When did Nigeria sink to this low?

Is it not funny you asked me to read up definition of progress when you think public nuisance constitutes progress?

Please God, I beg you to bring disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria quickly.
