[quote author=~Bluetooth]What exactly are you rambling about mo'r'on ?



That's why I have to spell it out for you too since you've not taken your igbo today ! [/quote]I think you need the herb more than I do.

bittyend: Brah, I disagree.

I googled 'Ashebe' and this came up: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/ashebe

Dayokanu is a legend!

Your'e still suffering from spelling deficiency syndrome then? its A-c-h-e-b-e, you white man.!

kobikwelu: Everybody comaring apples and oranges...

Asking how a poet/writer contributes developmentally to his country....

Do you expect him to become a politician?

The man trended worldwide.....his book published in over 50 languages....10+ million copies printed....

an icon..

He said something powerfull..

IF THE LIONS HAVE NO ONE TO TELL THEIR STORY, THE STORY WOULD ALWAYS BE TOLD BY THE HUNTERS TO FAVOUR THEM....

greatness

Tribalism has screwed most Nigerians to the point that they are just like a bended mangala fish. they see white and call it blue without flinching.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]So you haven't stopped lying to prove your points oldman ? Show me where 2face won a grammy !

Did you smoke IGBO today ?[/quote]I need an Igbo now because of your level of reasoning. Unless I tell you everything in black and white, you will never get the point. Would you? The 2face was just an analogy, not real. God!

Eko Ile: We are taking about literary writers and not singers. You still don't know how to stay focused and on task. Singers don't get rewarded with the Nobel prize. Do you have ADD?

Writers ultimate reward is the Nobel and ashebe ain't got none and that's at fact.

To people like you, if you don't talk to them in black and white, they don't seem to get the gist. Use your tongue to count your teeth son.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Answer the question and stop tripping.

What exactly did Ashebe contribute to the development of Nigeria ?[/quote]You Talking and sweating about him even when he is a fridge now is a huge contribution to you bigoted development. But would you know about that? No!

Akshow: Dont forget that the south westerners produced the only Nobel prize winner. A feat achebe will never achieve even in his grave.

2Face won a grammy , so he is bigger than Fela Kuti or Ebenezer Obey, case closed.
Achebe and Soyinka re both African icons, no wonder they didn't achieve that thinking with your version of mindset. Anything that doesn't come out of your village is considered rubbish.
You can breath now modern man.

0lumide: I can't seem to be able to find one thing Achebe achieved as one of "African intellectual".

Thanks

If you don't know what Achebe and Sunny Ade has achieved for humanity let alone Africa, its no ones fault,even when you can see GEJ's even in your sleep.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Ashebe died, suddenly you and dende resurrected from hibernation.where is udezue ?[/quote]Remind what hibernation is?

Eko Ile: You are gooffing. This has nothing to do with me because I did not coin the word ibo nor forcing your people and your leaders to call themselves ibo unless yours is the usual selective tribalistic mentality stripes you carry on your shoulder.

You sound like the other goof balls on NL with no sense of identity and history.

I thought we have done with your IBO thing now as I realise not everybody is educational/instructive material. There people who still believe that the world is flat or is seating on top of a giant elephant, so trying to deviate them to the real fact is like pouring water on a stone, it will never sink.

I hate to repeat myself, we have a name for such a person and I don't like it.

dayokanu: No Ibos didnt vote for Abiola. They voted for their hausa overlord Bashir Tofa and his sidekick Sylvester Ugo

It shows you knew nothing about what you talking about or be driven by tribal sentiment as always, because I remember MKO winning in Anambra, Enugu and Tofa winning in Imo and Abia and Abiola not far behind. How old were you in 1993? And who was Abacha and Gowon's sidekicks and who want to be Buhari sidekick in 2015? think first before you say all this things.

dayokanu: SO Yorubas didnt know when elections was going to take place that they couldnt make up their minds before election was over

LOL

Keep deluding yourself

Tell us anytime Ibos have always voted the conservative Northern controlled party ever since 1960

Either NPC NPN, NRC or PDP

Of course Yorubas knew when the election was to take place, but when you are so indecisive because non of the big choices on the ballot talk your talk, everything pass over you so quickly.
I thought Igbos voted for Yar Adua overwhemingly, 50% they gave to Tofa in1993, now its your turn, when was yours ever, not last time?

Eko Ile: You are obviously admiting or insinuating that your people and leaders have spelling and personal issues.

No. I meant just you at the moment.

dayokanu: Yorubas voted Yar Adua/Jonathan ticket in 2007. And none of these people were yoruba men

Can you tell us why the Ibo race has always voted the conservative pro establishment candidates since 1960 while moaning about the same establishment cheating them

No you didn't vote for Yar Adua, as you were busy toying with Atiku Abubakar and there was no Yoruba serious ticket. By the time you made up your mind, the election is over.
In 2011, you didn't vote Jonathan too, as again, you were busy toying this time with Buhari, in the end many of you boycotted the election, those who took money from GEJ went and make their vote useless, the drunk one voted for Ribadu, in the end your vote becomes inconsequential.

So Yar Adua and Jonathan, not there. Give me another name and this time remember that I said overwhelmingly, not one vote there and half over there. The sort of support you gave Awo, Abiola, even OBJ you hated more than a cow dung.

Eko Ile: Your rubbish post doesn't change the fact that ibo people and their leaders use ibo instead of igbo so you are not saying anything but making useless noise. The problem with many of you new lost tribe of ibo people is hour lack of sense of history, culture and belonging..

Y'all need to get it together.

I take it its not spelling issues but personal issues? Thanks and good luck with that.

sheyie2007: Good news for South african wine dealers

Champagne come only from one source ie Champagne region of France. Not every white wine bottle in shape of champagne bottle is a champagne, even if they come from other regions of France.

dayokanu: You mean you still cant tell us what makes Awolowo a tribalist?

Its like asking what makes Ojuku a pedphille and you cant mention one single act other than "Everyone knows Ojuku is a peedo" Is that supposed to be evidence?

Have you considered adult education? It would go a long way

Never mind what Awolowo or Ojukwu is-as they are both inconsequential dead men now.
Tell us about yourself and your present race. When has Yoruba as a nation ever voted overwhelmingly for any candidate who isn't one of them in any Nigerian election? When you come up with even half example, we can carry on from there.

dayokanu: Are you saying Achebe, Ojuku or Azikwe dont know the name of their tribe?

Well those icons called it Ibo. So Its perfectly normal for people from Eastern Nigeria to be called Iboz

Some black people in America call each other Nigga. There no people in America known as such. I shouldn't be educating you on non issue about my own name. You can accept whatever you want to accept, its a non issue for me. Your problem, not mine.

Eko Ile: real ibo people don't say igbo, they say ibo. Even ojuku used ibo.

Your own case is a different kettle. Is it your spelling prowess or just some personal issues?

dayokanu: Well I guess Achebe who described his people as Ibo in his own books must have been wrong

Azikwe also described the people of eastern Nigeria as Ibos

So why the denial

So you have read his book then? Where you drunk or sober at the time? If tell that my name is Okonkwo, it will be foolish of you to say it isn't or that I am denying it. Surely you can't know about my name more than me.

dayokanu: Ojuku was already sleeping with Bianca when she was under aged he only waited to formally marry her.

You must have know then, because you were there holding lamp for them, in your paedo-life club.
I wasn't there. You can tell us more, since you were an eye witness.

dayokanu: Your people in this context means the Ibo people Biafrans

I am Igbo and there are no people anywhere in Africa called Ibo, and not in Biafra that I knew. ACHEBE is an African Icon of good repute, and that is why from China to Europe or America, all humans that matters are talking about his death, the day you or me dies and there was such a trend, you can come back for this chat chat.

dayokanu: Molestation is when you sleep with an under aged girl that happens to be your own GodDAUGHTER even without her fathers consent

Ojuku was a cowardly animal in human clothing but thats another topic for another thread this is about Ashebe who died a bitter man

In that case, you need to go back to your book and re-educate yourself, because Bianca Onoh was already many years into her crown as miss Nigeria before she got married to Ikemba, unless Nigeria was guilty too of crowing an underage person a beauty queen.

And where I comes from you don't call someone close to 30 years of age an underage girl. This what desperation causes, you start to reason like......

dayokanu: ^^ Im sure it was your people who first brought Mandelas name into this thread

And it was your people who brought the names of other politicians like Awolowo to this thread

Who is my people? And where did you get the idea that I had a people online?

dayokanu: What could he do about whom his daughter wanted to marry? WHat could Chief CC Onoh do to stop his friend Ojuku from molesting Biancar?

Is that what they call marriage between a man and a woman where you comes from-molestation? I am a product of that molestation club and I now knew that you are not one of us in that noble molestation club. Shame!

dayokanu: Mandela stayed back in South Africa to effect the change he desired, He traded his freedom for it, He could have fled to London and be urging people to fight from there?

Can we now start comparing George Orwell or William Shakespear with Winston Churchill? Achebe is renowned as a prolific writer and a teacher, while Mandela is a professional politician.
If you can't tell the difference in the life parts of Achebe and Mandela, then your issues is not about the topic in discussion, its something you had to sort out yourself in a different platform and not here.
You cannot compare a salt to our red palm oil, even though they both compliment each other and together they make a delicious meal.
Achebe and Mandela are both African finest icons, though in different spheres of life, no wonder they both share personal friendship.
Something you bereft of.

Eko Ile: Olodo WAEC drop out, the topic is not about Yoruba people,its about ashebe.

Are you sure its not about Yoruba because you said its all about ASHEBE? Who or what is ASHEBE?
Or is it that you can't spell an African word and you are calling someone else Olodo WAEC dropout?

What difference does it make if it was found inside Jonathan's bedroom? If shell buries their all their oil pipe deep inside the ground as they do in the whole of Scotland, there won't be illegal oil to refine. It they leave oil pipe on the surface anywhere in the world on the surface, there won't be a shot of illegal refinery. That is a fact. I personally thinks that Jonathan is a weak leader, but you guys can't blame him for everything, including your wives being bad cooks.

bolaino: I know I'm going to get lots of insults thrown on my person after creating this topic, but to me the truth is better, I'm not a tribalist or an ethnic bigot, on the other hand I'm a proud Nigerian.

There is a saying that: Those that dosen't know the value of gold will use a gold plate to put their rubbish. You fall into that category.
White racist men, always start every statement by saying first that they are not racist or they have so many black friends- With your's- I am not a tribalist or bigot also fall into that category.

Finally, my ancestors says that: A bird that taunts a woodpecker that he is a weak-pecker should first cut down an okra tree since a woodpecker takes an Iroko tree for break fast.
A man's life is like your first day at the university, where there are many that matriculated, but come back on the day of graduation and count how many of the original people at the matriculation made it to the end. The day ACHEBE was born, its was probably only his parents and family celebrated, but on the day he died, the whole world (those that mattered) mourned.

That means, he has graduated with PHD in the school of life, hence Jesus said that the day a person died is far better than the day he was born, as the reason Jesus never celebrated his birthday but his own death.
Its not every day one sees an Eagle perched on one's backyard, and it will be foolish not to admired this rare bird. Achebe is an eagle at your backyard- admire him as there may never be another opportunity.

Akshow: if my comment Pain you, go hang your balls for transformer. Mental age my behind!

So, all your life, no one had mentioned it to you that, there is a time to shut up or at least go and use the ground to shelter yourself somewhere?

erniok: After reading how the world all over eulogizes this man, I wonder why some folks here vilify him. Indeed, a prophet is never honored in his hometown

No, they are not vilifying him, they are just afraid of his shadow for telling them some home truth they prefer not to hear. As inconsequential as they are with their opinion, Achebe is an African Iroko they will ever dream of half of him being their fathers.

gbanikiti: did you have to quote the whole thread to spew that trash you just wrote? Smh for some people sha

I think I have to agree with you, so I will amend it now.Thanks
