Putindbutt: Where does Philip Emeagwali, the bursted con artist belong, to ibos or binis?.. I'm reading a conflicting identity from either side.

Whatever a man chooses! If he believes he's from Benin I respect his opinion As to more achievers I will also like to call out Chike obi. The mathematician himself
Putindbutt: Why was she left gut wrenched?.. Imaginary racism must have cost her much as Achebe's fate. Congratulations to yet another son of Africa, Abdulrazak Gurnah. As he marvels at Soyinka's, truly, great recognizes great.
The Tanzanian right He was no match(no offence) As I said mention the two nominees from nigeria And from a scale of 1-100, tell me their chances of winning it in the coming years?
plaindealer: In the history of Nigeria, there's never been any challenge competition, even before Nigeria was created, the SW was ahead and leading by miles.
During regional administration, the SW was the prime achiever with so many firsts in Nigeria from the first skyscraper, TV station, stadium, industrial estates, and so on, but the SE was mute, not a single achievement, just regional and leadership failure, we were never in the same league and still not till today.
The SW is your daddy anytime any day..
The SW was and still is the place you run to for survival and your daily bread, no competition, just assume your place in the back.
There u go again with ur one-sided thinking
I do not think we igbos are better than other tribes, I only believe we've got some few commendable achievements
As to u Tell me Which government invested 40% of their revenue in education?
Putindbutt: Well, fortune smile at the brave. Unfortunately for Achebe, he was pretty much incapable.
Ever read his books?
Verily I tell u as years pass Soyinka would begin to seek advice from chimamanda. I do not joke on this. Adichie should have won this year's Nobel laureate. Sadly only white haired men were favourites.
Putindbutt: I couldn't care less which is the first or last. Taxation was imposed in the Eastern region much earlier than the west. Different tax periods gave rise to different protest periods. Meanwhile, the approach of Egba women was aggressive yet refined given that it was led by an educated individual. Much of Aba women were notoriously uneducated.
More reason to respect them! Even still Uneducated women fighting for their rights? Doesn't it speak volumes. Now of the both, which were more brave?
Putindbutt: Have you heard of Egba women riot?.. A well organized and powerful protest led by one of the most famous women in history. Aba women riot was rather a bunch of rebellious women who lost more than they intended. It comprised more ibibio and a few ibo women.
Brilliant! It was indeed an interesting read @lost more than... 55 killed out if ten thousand Respect to the dead, but u can't even call this a loss Mind u the Aba women riot was the first by women in west Africa. I think your women copied theirs from there. Kudos to the ibibio women too.
plaindealer: Sadly for you, your ignorant opinion about her remains your own sad and pointless opinion, her historical accomplishments and powerful feminine achievements are second to none in our history.
Your crude, crass, sexist, and ignorant Misogynistic opinion is irrelevant.
We are talking about powerful women with groundbreaking, life-changing accomplishments and this one is talking about novel writers?
Are you even normal at all?
Perhaps I misread you I thought you mentioned fela kuti in that chapter ( pardon me) You still don't know ground-breaking females mate There were two Nigerian females nominated for the Nobel laureate this year, u can guess.
I'm glad u decided to search on Nnedi, I love intelligent opponents.
Back to the matter on ground Though not in the same lane with my aforementioned, I will just ask Who is yet to represent Nigerian females more than Ngozi okonjo iweala?
Are you not even ashamed to list these irrelevant lightweights?
Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti alone is a million times more powerful and influential than the inconsequential lightweight you listed.
Park well abeg..
Fela kuti? Seriously? You are even happy to mention that sex loving polygamist of an atheist? I simply redirect you to the book "The sex calendar" . It's a real eye opener to lazy researchers and unknowing idol worshipers As for funmi? I'll choose adichie anytime anyday
I'm immune to you people's empty and shallow chest-beating without facts.
Ha! Facts! Feminists: Chimamanda Archie Nnedi okoroafor And more to mention I also recommend you read on the aba women's riot to get a clearer picture mate
plaindealer: Or the insane barbaric culture of brothers taking turns and marrying their dead brother's wives and the poor widows can not do a damn thing about it.
Very sad..
Say what u want bro Did u know a majority of notable feminists in nigeria are igbos? Do u know igbo women are one of the most strong hearted and least subdued women in nigeria? (The Aba women riot tells alot about this) Did you know before European influence, ancient igbo women regained their surnames even after marriage? (I stand to b corrected). Its better to leave what u don't understand brother
Basic123: There are alot of things that they claim they are that they are not.E.G I discover of recent that 90% of estate developers on Lagos are yorubas and they will not let us rest with they own Lagos bla bla bla. The same thing is applicable to Nigeria film industry. Majority of recent high quality and grossing films are produced by the yorubas
I don't see it wise to let ur dreams known to the public
