You sincerely M.A.D for pointing fingers. The igbos are not moving forward because they've failed to accept that only failures point blaming fingers. Yoruba sophistication won't allow for that because we are after progress and we need more people to come and invest in our land to boost our progress. We've made anemies our best friend that they can't do without us. As for those shouting tribalist upandawn u are all M.A.D because we are all tribalist in this country. And I respect Achebe and Soyinka but support my own.

Chinua Achebe was buried like a dog? Please keep quiet if you have nothing to say.

Your grandfather wasn't famous, but was he buried like a dog? I don't think so.
I think your family probably pooled resources together and buried him respectfully in your own gentle way.

Do you know what it means to be 'buried like a dog'?

Chinua Achebe wasn't given a State Burial. He was not buried with ablomp like someone of his celebrity status should have, but he definitely was not buried like a dog.

Some of you throw words around carelessly!

She is a bigoted Tribalist desperately seeking to divide through sentiments, She loves all four but was seen beggarly seeking a Pose with Wole Soyinka Last week. I have read all four and none of them write as excellent as Wole Soyinka. "Go read Ake", "The man died" The Trial of brother Jero", "You must break forth at dawn" Idanre and the other Poems, "A shuttle in the crypt" "Climate of Fear" "King Baabu" "Opera Wonyosi" Season of anatomy" and others and be amazed or thrown into the realms of his mystical minds and erudition, she always seeks to promote her tribe by these drifts, everyone knows that the Soyinka race ranks high in intellectual dexterity in literature, law and medicine and general science, despite her passive acquiescence.

These four of her choice are the only hero of her race, Chimammanda must grow up and stop these selfish selection and her constant rhetorical diatribe against the huge intelligence resident in Nigeria, I have always picked certain of her conjectures and you can see Tribalism emitting from her constitution. If you have read Ayi Kwei Armah, Nadine Gordimer,Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Dennis Brutus, Mongo Beti, Jomo Kenyatta,Thomas Mafolo and many others, to limit excellence to her tribe is shameful and an obvious bias
