Cowards, Backstabbers and Envy infected people are now at war with their hausafulani masters. I greet una.

mainman7: u igbos are fools,and bloody senseless liars like achebe,twisting history. I don't know any other tribe that is as ungrateful as d igbos. d Thoughtful Yorubas accepts them like brothers yet they rant about us. They are cowards, hausas are slaughtering their brothers like rams in the North, they do nothing.igbos always think they r d wisest and that is why they are fools who think life is only about money.igbos r d Genesis of d problem of dis country,traitors who spared their greedy leaders in January 29,1966 Coup.The civil war would not have happened. Yorubas don't betray, read history, ur useless father azikwe started d betrayal thing when Awolowo helped him to d top and he didn't fulfill his part of their agreement.in d January 1966 igbo coup,Brgd Ademulegun, Col Fajuyi and other Great Youruba Millitary Men were killed, as usual d ever deceitful igbos, against the agreement, told their greedy leaders to skedaddle. igbos must apologize to d Yorubas now!d YORUBAS are already uniting and getting ready for u people.igbos or hausas, what u want is want u shall get from us,Peace or War!

If igbos r fools, then Yorubas r COWARDS, BACKSTABBERS, PERPETUAL HAUSA-SLAVES & JEALOUS BIGOTS. It is because of your behaviours above that no single Yoruba man occupies any top political office in nigeria today. You backstabbed even your lastman standing, Bankole. As a result u guys r now pariahs in d politics of d country. I d efikman said so and stand 2 b corrected.

Billyonaire: The impact is simple. He told the truth about Awolowo's betrayal, Ojukwu's sacrifice and why we are where we are. Awolowo in his quest to rule Nigeria for 'even one day' went ahead to plan a coupe' in our neigbouring country to overthrow the Military Government and was also Betrayed by Jakande, just as he betrayed Ojukwu, his conversations were recorded and presented to the military junta, he was instructed to 'take the path of honor', He committed Suicide. This is truth and its bitter.

He was actually reported to have drunk RAT POISON and died as a result. SUICIDE

alj harem: Lets be realistic here and not think using sentiment and petty tribalism. Soyinka is not the discussion here. The question is simple and it is not about Achebe's book/s

What did Achebe achieve for others before passing on ? I mean, what positive impact did he make ?

And what positive impact did Awolowo make in Nigeria (not yorubaland ohhh)

vivian chinaza: now even ladies are not left out in this tribal war.

Erm, I know you all will be thirsty by now so there is refreshment......


Bowing my head to a great man, a fallen hero; my fallen hero. We don't need you to make the world proud, we don't need you to make our Yoruba brothers proud or any other people for that matter. You made us proud, you represented us and fought for what we believed in. I stand on the ground you stood. You were BIAFRAN, so am I.
I will not fight, neither will I shed blood to contest your greatness and integrity because a man's greatness precedes him. Yours precedes you. Anaghi ahucha uzo si muta oku. Ihe agbana n'aka ejighi onyo ele ya. And I know wherever you are right now you wouldn't want me to.

Onye nna ya dinyere ohi na eji ukwu agbaka ozo, and we nod in satisfaction. The rest doesn't matter.

Gbam!!! You are a true daughter of your father

ZUBY77: Since the emergence of the six geo-political zones in Nigeria, i saw an opportunity for the southerners (SW, SS and SE) to unite but they are still holding each other down on the mud.
An Igbo proverb says that ' Oji onye nani ji onwe ya' (He who holds another down, holds himself down too. Since he will need to stay down to hold the other
)
Since Independence, the North has been killing the southerners, mostly the Igbos, each time Power shifts out of their (north) hands to the South.

The killings brought about the civil war in 1966 and the killings continued long after the war. It is a fact that the Yorubas easily defected to Nigeria during the civil war but Igbos could have done the same if they owned SW and Lagos. Awolowo was part of the govt during the war but he was not incharge of the war. Gowon was incharge. Awolowo did what he was told to do, starve the enemy to submission which is a war strategy all over the World. Awolowo knew that the Biafrans will lose the war since Nigeria had better allies in Britain who were still much on ground then. Although we the Igbos blamed Awolowo because his strategy didn't favour us and someone (Achebe) surely had to point that out. Informatiion such as that cannot be allowed to die easily because we all need to learn from it but we the Igbos must understand that Awolowo did what he was ordered to do. While we are busy blaming Awolowo, some group of animals in the North are killing the Southerners everyday, destroying their business and destablising their familiies.
Their Original plan of invading the south, conquering it and converting it to Islamic region is still their agenda.

To my fellow Igbos, we must leave Yoruba alone and face our enemy which is the North. Yorubas are not violent or hostile towards us compared to the North. Yorubas don't burn our houses or shops or companies, rather they increase rents and taxes which i also believe we are capable of doing if we are in their shoes.

The South must unite to fight the common enemy. We the Igbos must be prudent enough to stop fighting in two fronts and concentrate our energy and time to fighting our common enemy.
First, we must have a confederation of southern Nigeria. That will send a message to them up there iin the North.
I have devised about 10 ways which we will use to defeat the North and own our lives but i cannot post it on the internet. The Ohaneze Ndigbo is a useless group. The politicians are greedy and will sell out any time.
I don't know which group to approach yet but i am patiently waiting.

. I don't see Ibos teaming up with Cowards and Backstabbers.

Na wah oooo

AdeCisco: I hope he's buried in the US of AmericA and not Africa. Always stay in ur country and fight. I respect fighter like Tinubu, Fashola, and all other meaningful Nigerians who fought for their beliefs in their country. Papa had superiority complex. Being buried in Nigeria is less dignifying than the awards he rejected. Well I hope Jonathan will pardon him.

Tinubu and Fashola fighters Abi treasury looters...... Please visit the nearest psychiatric hospital for evaluation.

Chronic Yoruba tribalistic MODS like OAM4J will one day cripple nairaland if Seun Osewa does not do something about it quick. When Yoruba bigots attack Achebe, Ibos and easterners as a whole by using derogatory words such as "ashebe", "Igbos", "yam pottage", "eboes", e.t.c, he will look the other way. But when those attacked reply with same derogatory words
Like Yoruba or Yoruba, he will not hesitate to ban them. Is this right? where then is the justice? Nobody will insult any Yoruba man if the bigots here don't draw the first blood. Make una enjoy. Afterall na una get nairaland. Nonsense!!!!!!!
