Naval sadiq: The igbos will never stop being foolish.i fink they hav got a cursed blood in their veins

Onlytruth: One SOLID EVIDENCE to support Achebe.

tevinsolt: who cares what he thinks, he might be suffering from Alzheimer disease, or dementia or even aging for all care.

holysmoke: yes igbos can be arrogant,mischievous,loud and downright nasty. but the truth must be told. they suffered a great injustice from the rest of the country and nigeria should own up to it. I'm from Delta state and while I do not claim to be ibo my sympathies often lies with them. let's be honest, subjugation should always be resisted but who would you rather be oppressed by? hausa/fulani or the igbos. I dare say that if igbos had held the reins of power like the fulani have this country would have experienced far more advancement on all fronts .

alj harem:

How can achebe be africa greatest professor. You must have you head in the cloud. What has happened to Prof. Mamdani and Prof Wole ?

T9ksy:


Of course, you do! Keep underestimating your enemy. Same mistake you lot made in Jan 1966 which led to the northerners

instigating a pogrom against your sorry obdurate flat heads. Seems you lot haven't learnt anything concrete from your last shambolic escapade.

alj harem: one would agree with me that this man is an IDEEEEIOT. Take it or leave it

I usually don't insult icons but this achebe of a man is a big mumu. Ideeiot

utumunta: I salute Achebe's courage 4 saying what Nigerians harbour in their minds.
1. Y do d hausa/fulani think dat they are naturally born to rule ds con3? They believe they are superior dan d rest of us.
2. Y do d yorubas alwaz align wt d hausa/fulani in politics? They thnk dat hausas are better positioned 2 wrest power 4rm d oda tribes(IGBOS) & hand over to them when they are tired

Onlytruth:

Whose land is currently ON FIRE with HUNDREDS DYING every month of bombs?
Whose land is still infested with the worst diseases known to man?
Whose people are the most backward in black Africa?

Whose lives are not worth more than a goat or a cow?

You iidiots hate what you can't live without.

Why not tell Igbo to leave Nigeria, you animals.

Check d success recorded in terms of inventions , scientific breakthrus , military tact n might during d Biafra war 2 knw if Achebe is wrong.
He ws right 2 say dat Nigerians cn only reach a consensus when such is targetd agenst d igbos. It is playing out on nairaland & it played out during d war.
Shame dat a ppl awo wantd 2 halt wt his £2
policy, own 60% of Lagos 2day.

Onlytruth:

Your statistics even support Achebe! hehehe

Here we go.

If I add Igbo share in Lagos 33 billion (1/3 of 33 billion), to Igbo share in Delta (about 1/3) to Igbo share in Rivers (about 1/3) to all the SE states, without, just the first digits (not adding fractions, I come up with roughly $64 billion under Igbo control..
If I do the same for all your Yoruba states and add you share of 1/3 in Lagos, I come up with $54 billion.

You see my friend, we top you by about $10 billion.

I think that intelligent people in Nigeria already know that because we send our females to school more than you, there is NO WAY you can be richer than us.

Swallow your pride. Stop beating your wives and marrying 10 wives! Send them to school!

ichidodo: WELL,WE HAD SO MUCH LOVE THEM, EVEN THEN WE STIL GAVE THEM SUMTIN TO TINK ABOUT AND NOW ACHEBE HAS DONE US A FAVOUR AS WE NOW HAVE ALL OUR CIVIL WAR LESSONS IN DOCUMENTATION, IF IT WANTS TO HAPPEN,BRING IT ON OF CUZ, U KNOW LIGHTENIN CANNOT STRIKE TWICE. THOU YAMHEAD.

holysmoke: yes
igbos can be arrogant,mischievous,loud and downright nasty. but the
truth must be told. they suffered a great injustice from the rest of the
country and nigeria should own up to it. I'm from Delta state and while
I do not claim to be ibo my sympathies often lies with them. let's be
honest, subjugation should always be resisted but who would you rather
be oppressed by? hausa/fulani or the igbos. I dare say that if igbos
had held the reins of power like the fulani have this country would have
experienced far more advancement on all fronts.
