21 December, 2012 was marked by the Mayans as the end of an era, we're about to see some big changes and it has started.

PoliticsRe: When Did Corruption Start In Nigeria? by ezeagu(m): 9:24pm On Dec 20, 2012
When the British seized the land. People tend to forget that it was NOT legal for the UK to take over the area now known as Nigeria and it was NOT an era without corruption. Nigeria was birthed out of the biggest crime in Africa's recent history. The most corrupt people in Nigeria were/are the British and other Europeans.

It was the British that also tampered with Nigerias politics, of course they would, it was them who created it.

Turbocharged: For the ones in bold.
Who said you can't? First, give out or destroy every of ur modern day possessions, demolish ur cement house and replace it wt mud or thatch, start walking about in ur adamic cloth (unclad), etc, others will join you.
GOOD LUCK!
Tradition, not technology. Know the difference.

dayokanu: Criticism over the years? Thats a very daft statement even if we are looking at it from the Daftometer prism

The world Cup has its critics does it stop it from being the biggest footballing event?
Olympics has its critics does it stop it from being the biggest sporting event?
America has its critics but does that stop it from being the World superpower(even though Mugabe doesn't agree),
Achebe has his critics but that doesn't stop him from being senile and crippled Goebells reincarnate,
Ojuku has his critics it doesn't stop him from being a recognized coward and child molester,
Soyinka has his critics but that doesnt stop him from being Nigerias biggest writer

Nobel is still the biggest academic prize for Literature and Mr Achebe can never win it. Infact Wale Adenuga author of Ikebe Super magazine and Sandra Ekwunife who writes Better Lover Magazine stands a better chance than the senile cripple

Soyinka was far ahead of all Nigerian writers

T9ksy: Herd-like as in, even achebe got 419ed by ojukwu and became biafra's roving ambassador churning out lies and more lies which at the time is

considered to be propaganda. Now the senile old fool is going to make tons of bucks from his pile of junk which you all are hailing as the gospel. Its

instructive to note that the i.diot never wrote such disparaging "truth" about the sardunna whom we all know hates the ibos and never made any secret of it, as

he did, Awo. I guess he knew (from his past experience) that, doing so will be all the impetus the hausa/fulanis require, to take off so much obdurate ibo

heads that will leave even Boko haram, envious.

Give me a break, we have a Nobel already. Who's Achebe? I will personally give him some dough if he can manage to write a good poem before sun set on his miserable career.

The most read African novel in history is about an ordinary Okoro in a village set in pre-colonial Anambra State.

That's nice. So when did Mark Twain get a Nobel Prize? Since when is literature (an arts) comparable to a sport? Anyway, all I know is "first class, or no first class", the people have spoken "11 million copies sold worldwide", "most read African novel in history".

Chinua Achebe is a living national treasure (for Africa, for Nigeria, and for the Igbo people).

hypeman: My comment was directed to Ikengawo who was parroting the Igbocentric Achebe as an African/Nigerian treasure with the audacity to post a picture of two of the most overrated Africans to buttress his asinine point... That's the shiit that I don't like! grin

Achebe has done well for himself, no doubt...he definitely took Igbocentricism Biafracentrism/Achebe-ism to the next level - and I applaud him for that and all the success that comes with it... However, I'm allergic to overzealousness... wink
Sorry, maybe I missed the African author that sold over 12 million of his novels about traditional life and had it published it during the independence movement in the 1960s.

babapupa: The bitter man is still fighting the doomed and failed war as the biafra propaganda minister.


The senile man did not get the memo that the war ended 40 years ago and he got his azzz kicked.

No wonder he's yet to smell the Nobel.
And Malik Shabazz, Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Ghandi, Nat Turner, Nanny of the Maroons, etc all got their "azzz kicked", yet your friends are quoting them as "real heroes", for what? Dying for what they believe in.

Prof Corruption: Achebe goofed big time. He killed his literary career by publishing tissue of lies as personal history. I laughed really hard when the book was listed as non-fiction as if Achebe had ever written a fiction in his life. He should stop spending money to promote a bad book. Let him win the real thing: Nobel Prize and play in the first class league peopled by the likes of Wole Soyinka, Naguib Mahfouz,Nadine Gordimer etc.
Nice "first class league". So what is the most read Nigerian African novel in history?

hypeman: I don't have a problem with Achebe and the popularity of his books, or lack thereof... However, making an overzealous claim that's borderline ridiculous about being an African icon is problematic... For how long are we going to let other people dictate our heroes to us?? Achebe might be an Igbo hero(due to his tribal chauvinism), but he's definitely not an African icon...

We dictate who our icons/heroes are and we don't use populist and Eurocentric agenda for that - we use their body of work and achievements in relation to the black cause to do that...

Btw, I was commenting on the picture of Achebe and Mandela...
And how did his status as a icon or no icon stop his novel from being the most widely read of a contemporary African author?

Tolexander: i said nobel prize in literature, u are telling me number of copies sold.
10million copies of things fall apart while lady bird PETER and JANE sold 100million copies
What should an African writer care more about, spreading his message and his history and his culture around the world for millions to see absorb and be influenced by, or being dashed a title by a village committee in Sweden?
