Ppl argue blindly and it makes me sick. Refs make mistakes everyday but it doesn't make me as sick compared to when football fans shamelessly defend dia clubs in d face of an apparent error that favoured them. I support man u but more of a 'good football' fan. We africans shld try n grow up. Let's enjoy d game with our head n eyes open. Its a disgrace to openly support error. Liverpool was robbed earlier today as well and I dnt fnk everton fans can dispute that d way my folks here are doing.

For weeks, many people have wondered where Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka stands on the accusation of genocide against Igbos by the Nigerian Government during the 1967-70 civil war leveled by Prof. Chinua Achebe in his war memoir, There Was A Country.

Well, Soyinka (shown in photo) has finally spoken his mind and, interestingly, he agrees with Achebe that Biafrans, the bulk of whom were Igbos, were victims of genocide during the war. 

In an interview he granted Britain’s authoritative Telegraph, the Nobel Prize winner described Biafrans as “people who’d been abused, who’d undergone genocide, and who felt completely rejected by the rest of the community, and therefore decided to break away and form a nation of its own.”

In the interview published last Friday, the interviewer Peter Godwin asked: “Professor Soyinka, you’re not an ivory-tower kind of writer. You are not a stranger to danger, and in fact you’ve been imprisoned on at least two occasions, once in solitary confinement. Can you tell me what that was like?”

Soyinka’s reply: “Writing in certain environments carries with it an occupational risk. When I was imprisoned, without trial, it was as a result of a position I took as a citizen. Of course I used my weapon, which was writing, to express my disapproval of the (Biafran) civil war into which we were about to enter. These were people who’d been abused, who’d undergone genocide, and who felt completely rejected by the rest of the community, and therefore decided to break away and form a nation of its own. Unfortunately, the nature of my imprisonment meant that I couldn’t practise my trade because I was in solitary confinement for 22 months out of the 27, and I was deprived of writing material. So I had to somehow break through the barriers, smuggle in toilet paper, cigarette paper, scribble a few poems, pass messages outside. I was able to undertake exercises to make sure that I emerged from prison intact mentally.”

The interview, which centred of Soyinka’s speech delivered last week at the Hay Festival in Mexico, was entitled “If religion was taken away I’d be happy”. In it, Soyinka condemned religious militancy and declared that now is the time to tackle Boko Haram, the Islamic militants who have been fomenting trouble in Nigeria.

News Express recalls that Prof. Achebe in his war memoirs subtitled ‘A Personal History of Biafra’ accused wartime Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gown and his Vice-Chairman and Finance Minister, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, of carrying out genocide against Igbos. The claim has been generating a lot of controversy, with many Yoruba commentators accusing Achebe of twisting history.

His picture would have served this purpose better

KINGwax: Now, who da fucck recorded and posted ds shitt online? I suspected wande!

Dr sid just twitted dah d oda voice posted was Davido's. Better stop pointing accusing fingers for wetin u no know

Eko Ile: Damn. This broken down Zero nobel winning dumb axss failure of a man is psycho.


ashebe, this has nothing to do with Wole Soyinka, wole soyinka is your superior and apart from writing wonderful books, he's a playrite and many things that you hope to me but can not be because of your negativity and single biafra story. you are yet to get the nobel because your work is mediocre and tribal, it reeks sadness and negativity just like your disgruntled axss. you are a negative human being and na negativity go follow you enter grave.



lol @ . What fcukkinnnng mandate? Akpu mandate? lmao

I use to think u v real human brain but now? Dnt fnk so!

For all of una wey dey comment abi admonish all ds trash here now, una sabi pass everybody shebi? Wise ones indeed! I'm not against valid constructive advice but isn't it too early to start passing judgements when up till now it has not been established or proven that those boys were bad boys? I'm not defending anyone here but I find it utterly sickening that some folks will start forming socrates here while we are still mourning our lost gems, inadvertently blaming them for their deaths when all d stories making rounds have not been substantiated. I just listened to a radio interview of their close friends so it goes to support d earlier position of d mother of one of them, @least to some extent. U ppl shld respect d dead plz jare!

What else is there to say? In d midst of all d so-called civilizations we still live as savages and @ d end oF d day we blame d west for our woes_ colonization, neocolonization, imperialism, capitalism, western expantionism and what not! When we are really our greatest enemies. I still don't know what to say and I'm yet to watch dat video for more up to ten seconds

Eko Ile: this is the thing with ibo people. it doesn't matter how much education they get, they are still dangerously tribalistic to the core. I don't even see this kind of tribalistic rant coming from the likes of wole soyinka or any Yoruba leader. ibos are just too backward and primitive...

U just sounded more tribalistic and primitive by generalizing and comparing blindly in issues like this. How much do you sincerely think you know about the igbos as a people? Shame.
