Odenigbo Aroli:



Dude,stop making these bogus claims;You haven't been to Umuoji,yet. When you visit Idenmili ask them to take you to Urumkpu ndiagu so you can shut up. You claim to have visited every part of Anambra like its the first time you are lieing. If you know Anambra villages very well you won't be arguing like this. In Anambra,we believe in that old adage that say "Aku luo uno,amali onye kpalia". You haven't even seen a good 5% of Anambra wonders. Nwoken,jee suo ike na oche. Just post the danm pictures make we see. I wish I was in Naija make I show you the pictures of Alor-London.

JUST POST PICTURES OF UR VILLAGE...ME THINK THIS THREAD IS ALL ABOUT PICTURES..IF U THINK UR VILLAGE IS BETTER THAN ABIRIBA AS SOMEONE SUGGESTED,POST IT HERE LETS SEE AND STOP CHEST BEATING.

Well done Ochendo.

That is APC for you.

the same thing applies in every state...apc wont win even a single ward in abia state.stop preaching bro.

@afam u can invite okorocha and his apc to ya home state.btw u are talking as if orji is a life governor of abia state...his tenure ends in less than 2 yrs.

as nwa abia,if okorocha set foot in Aba or any where in abia state with his apc he will be stoned out of town....nonsense!

Abeg carry ur apc and panadol back to owerre.

eko ile is a jobless man.

Udensi must chop and okorocha must lie to impress his masters.

Azikiwe betrayed southern unity to send Awolowo to jail. He, Azikiwe did this alongside his northern masters in crime (Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa).

No..Awo was actually sent to prison by a Yoruba judge.

Land of the rising sun we cherish thee.

stop reasoning with ur anus..how prepared was Libya rebels against ghadafi and currently Syrian rebels as against their government?war has rules of engagement,u don't go about bombing market places,churches,refugee centers and hospitals in the name of war.

And there shouldn't be problem when Igbos call Awo baby killer...he actually did.

And what do u think or take Igbos for ,that IGBOS should be kissing the asses of principal actors of mass murderers?Achebe was not a politician,he called a spade a spade......period....and what he wrote is the same impression of every IGBO on Awo

Why not hausas closing ranks with Igbos by atleast stop their sensless killing of IGBOS living in the North?

Obiagelli: Your opinion, you can't speak for others, all it takes is good campaign, with an igbo VP, a woman for that matter? Bro you would be surprised.

[b]Besides I think Imo has moved away from PDP for good

[/b]speak for ya self too.

ABOUT OKRA FROM WIKI.
The name okra is most often used in the United States, with a variant pronunciation, English Caribbean okro. The word okra is of West African origin and is cognate with ọkwurụ in the Igbo language spoken in Nigeria.[2] Okra is often known as "lady's fingers" outside of the United States.[3] In various Bantu languages, okra is called kingombo or a variant thereof, and this is the origin of its name in Portuguese (quiabo), Spanish (quimbombó or guigambó), Dutch and French, and also possibly of the name "gumbo", used in parts of the United States and English-speaking Caribbean for either the vegetable or a stew based on it.[4] In India and Pakistan, and often in the United Kingdom, it is called by its Hindi/Urdu name, bhindi, bhendi, bendai or "bhinda". In Tamilnadu, India it is called as Vendaikai.

Ojukwu an Igboman honoured Awo with the best president Nigeria never had and Yorubas completely agreed with him while foreigners honoured Achebe with title of father of African literature,yorubas completely disagreed with the rest of the world to give honour to whom it is due.I agree with with CBN governor that yorubas are the problem with nigeria.ote author=Aigbofa]

There's nothing ambiguous about Ojukwu's statement. Either you can't read English or you are extremely dishonest.[/quote]

Alhaji harem could u just shut ur crap and get a life?wondering around NL looking for Igbo thread to spew rubbish.there are about 1 million forumites on this site,only u have 500k fake ids and the rest of us sharing the remaining 500k.matter of fact ur useless opinion does not change anything so u better engage urself with something useful..

Please stop debating with this fellow,he is not Ijaw unless you like wasting ur time with alhaji harem or whatever he calls himself.

the title of his new book is called, OF AFRICA.........It has sold 25 copies worldwide....

babyosisi: Who reads those works
That is the question
How many has he sold ?
The amount he has sold is not documented, that shows you it not as significant as many other writers.
He is a smart man,yes but his works are not as popular going by book sales
None of his works are required texts not even in Nigeria
At the end of the day,it is all about the numbers

At the time Achebe published his memoirs,WS also wrote a book,who knows the title of Wole's book?
Many are just hearing of that book there from you

[size=18pt]
Musiwa aka becomerich churns out a thousand threads every blessed week,who reads and contributes in them [/size]
It is not by the amount of books dear

Even if he did said that,he said it to his face.why did soyinka have to wait until Achebe pass on before opening his mouth?

Nah, the jealous one was the one that said this:

"He did make one rather unfortunate statement that brought down the hornet’s nest on his head, something like: “The fact that Wole Soyinka was awarded the Nobel Prize does not make him the Asiwaju (Leader) of African literature”.[/quote]

My friend Achebe's book was not all about Awo.

shymexx: Why didn't Achebe write his memoir when Awolowo was alive?

And where in the interview did he rubbish Achebe's name?

He defended him and intelligently dodged most of the questions that would have made the late Achebe look bitter, to be honest.

Why didn't he make those points when his friend was still alife,I would have taken him serious had he said it when Achebe was still around to defend himself,but no,he has to wait until he passed on to say rubbish..

an made a lot of solid points in the interview and addressed every question that was posed to him like an upstanding man should - using supreme mastery of the use of English. However, rather than discuss the obvious points that he made(whilst defending and covering up for late Achebe's imperfections) - you've resulted to shallow ad hominem attacks, Mr. O.J-E-Of-Fvck.

Use your damned brain cells for once in your pathetic life and stop thinking out of your ar.se, fool!

Anyway, the best don't care about sales and commercialisation of their art. That's why you can't compare Prince to Adele or Rihana![/quote]

certainly she has sold more than him.how many people knows about his latest work?

All na jealosy,Many don't know it, but Soyinka wrote a book, Of Africa at about the same time Achebe wrote There was a Country. No one remembers the book today, even in death Achebe still remain the Iroko of African literature.
