gbaky_floor: You see if any body is write something negative about Nnamdi Azikiwe- Most Igbos won't bat an eye lid because they have no atom of respect for Azikiwe. He is 'not regarded as a man of the people' by Igbos.
it is yorubas and northerners that admire him


Igbos know Azikiwe is corrupt, why else did he support Nigeria during the civil war? He was as corrupt as Nigerian leaders then and now. If you had a grasp of Igbo history you would know that we have little/no regard for Zik
.

4words: chinua achebe is dead yet still causing controversies. Hmmm what a man, even in is death.

udezue: Achebe will be buried in Igbo land . Nobody told you where to bury that bloody bastarddd Awolowo so please don't tell where to bury our own. You all can go to hell

InvertedHammer:
I am an Igbo man. Truth be told, our people's response to slaughter by Hausa people is very disheartening.
And that's why the trend continues...

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, one who believes that there is still hope for our great nation, I grew up reading literary works of chinua achebe, and I enjoyed his master piece (things fall apart) so much that I always re enacted this story whenever I was bored while growing up, the author of the book seemed bigger than life to me then, but growing up I discovered one thing about this man, he was a sadist, a pessimist, and a bad critic, he never saw the country Nigeria amounting to anything, he was always quick to condemn from the high pedestal which the "white man" put him, no doubt he has made Nigeria proud in the aspect of literature, but what has he done to help build this country? This is a man who spent half his life abroad pointing out problems of this country, but never offering sound possible solutions to these problems, this man hated his father land so much that he refused a national award twice, I believe that his refusal to accept the national awards stemmed from his hatred of his fatherland, not solely cos he felt the governments had failed the people, this man was not a man of the people as most people are claiming, rather he was a man against the people, he was a doomsday individual, he was hoping for the collapse of this our great country, he hated the market woman, the taxi driver and even the lawyer, he saw Nigerians as a people who could never change for the better, chinua achebe made us proud with his literary works, but aside from that he did not contribute enough for the over all development of this country, we've heard of great doctors who left the western world to come and practice in bush Africa, these men are the kind of people we should look up to, let me not say more, but I believe I have made my views known, may his soul rest, I hope he is buried in the United states.

fatdon1: The Igbo Youth Movement has declared seven days of mourning beginning from Friday for the late international novelist, Prof. Chinua Achebe, who died on Thursday.

In a statement issued on Friday, the President of IYM, Mr. Elliot Uko, said the movement was still in shock after learning of the death of Achebe.

“We wail and mourn and wish it was not true. Achebe presented traditional African society to the rest of the world 55 years ago.

“He was the man who gave the world an insight into the orderliness of pre-colonial Africa. His ideas and message translated to over 100 languages.

“Lately, he stood up for the truth in an inspiring display of courage and love for his people and respect for history.

“He was not afraid of name calling or the expected abuse. He chose the truth in order to inspire all generations. A great Iroko has fallen, IYM hereby declares seven days of mourning for the man of his people,” he said.

NINETOFIVE: You can not believe the extent an anger management class would help, non of your rants negate the fact that Yoruba elite base are of the Muslim stock which is understandable because they are the majority. yeah! blah blah blah Awo-Christian, Mko Abiola-Muslim, ObJ-christian, Tinubu-Muslim Fashola - muslim, Lateef Jakande- muslim.... you start to wonder who brought all these fine religious blend together and taught them all how to be kissing the the buttt of Hausa Fulani Muslims( which also does not negate my point that Yoruba Muslims has been playing dumb), OBJ Made it a do or die affair to rig in Yaradua, Let us not even talk about Awolowo.


Yeah! talking about who is miles ahead of who, you decide, even with all the execute power the presidency brings; not you the South Western Nigeria, not the Northern Nigeria could come up with the first Nigerian Indigenous Vehicle Manufacturing Company we did it in the East, that kind of stuff is over your heads, cause you lack the brain power to carry out that type of project.

the legend: Has anyone noticed the disturbing trend of tribalism being exhibited on Nairaland lately? Ihe thread below is just a tip of the Iceberg (or Ice block in naija terms).


"Assuming boko haram has moved on to lagos, you Igbos forget that, there are more ibos in lagos than yorubas, if we are to believe your notorious chest-beating.
I bet BK are just coming to lagos to help reduce the huge populations of ungrateful "alarus" in our region.
I wonder where ibos will run to if Boko haram starts killing them in Lagos. Prolly ibadan, abeokuta, akure ati bebelo. They sure wouldn't run back to their "Land of the rising sun".

valena_23: Yes you are definitely right. Right from time, Yorubas valued the sanctity of life and were not rushing to sell their brethren for money unlike the igbos, until the colonial masters' violent raid could no more be withstood and they started taking slaves. igbos are fools,and bloody senseless liars like achebe,twisting history. igbos rather flatter themselves and falsely use mouth to spoil others' image. igbo unity is FAKE! they kill themselves for money with ease. Unlike igbos, Yorubas know that LIFE is more than money. Cynthia, that beautiful girl was severally Molested and killed by 4 igbos for money. This year alone so many ritual killings in igbo land, 38 people were killed and dumped in a Ezu River in Anambra, 12 toddlers were killed in another...several unresolved killings for money in igbo land, what a people. 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 hausasfulani, what u want is want u shall get from us, Peace or War![/b]
