7inches: Bliv laudate at ur own peril that kid is the worst tribalist. And the worst is him hiding under the shell of of im not yoruba,... thats "cowardice". yet u see him on every anti igbo topic talking trash... but wen its a bad news aboit yoruba he would disappear
And the worst part is he is not smart enuff to hide the AFONJITIES in him wheneva he makes comment.. I have busted him so many times here.
Your stuvpidity is just so glaring. Busted.....who? So you believe anyone who does not support your infantile view is Yoruba, even when there are over 250 other ethnic groups in Nigeria? Thanks for letting us know that the money spent on your education was wasted.
Okwyjesus: Better to say that Achebe inspired Adichie. The same house Achebe lived while with UNN was exactly where Adichie grew up with her parents. Adichie can't rule out Achebe's impact on her career.
I agree! Achebe inspired Adichie, but did not mentor her. She has admitted countless times, that she drew inspiration from his works. But she did not receive any 'mentoring' from him, did she?
Chinua Achebe being a far superior writer is her mentor. She has attested to that many times. It is on youtube. What form did the mentoring take? Really? For the father of modern african literature? Go and ask her. Bad belle people.
OkpekeBeauty: Of course, its not yet ripe enough for people of her calibre to reveal their true identity. We shall come to that. Chimamanda was mentored and inspired by Chinua Achebe who wrote There Was a Country on his dying bed-there he revealed where his heart has been all these years. That book actually reignited the call for Biafra. Chimamanda wrote half of a yellow sun-another Biafra inspired book. She doesnt need to tell you where she belongs in words before you get it except you are a fool. Action speaks louder than voice
Follow up: for those quoting me let me educate you a little 1. When the recent call for Biafra started some of us and most other well known intellectuals were not in support because we felt it was championed by touts. Gradually we have been won over by Buharis arrogant display of his bigotry. When i see Nnamdi kanu (who I never knew) in court on handcuffs and Boko haram commanders arraigned a week later gisting freely and laughing with no hand cuffs(view here) i began sensing it. Right now Ohaneze has been won over and many more who are not saying it openely know where they belong
2. It will be foolish of Chimamanda to support Biafra at this stage of the struggle. With the global status she has achieved, it will not be wise for her to be playing petty with national politics. It will take a Buhari to not know that with his position as president-his personal public opinions has shifted, he is suppose to be a father without bias. But his 5%-97% shows how foolish he is. In case you dont know the likes of Rochas Okorocha and Ngige all know they are not accepted in the circle they belong but because they are politicians they will just play along.
3. Chimamnda is presently married to an Edo man who is not counted as Biafran, so wisdom should teach her to be soft on Biafra in other to keep her family. Because of her marriage, she can not say she is Biafran, but we all know where she belongs. When Soyinka wished Achebe did not write that memoir, Chimamnda supported Achebe(that was before her marriage) read here
I am not very comfortable with Nnamdi Kanu's approach but it seems he is the only one that speaks the language the ruling powers understands. All his moves has worked out positively. Call him comedian, terrorist, a joke, fraud, coward etc. He has displayed all that and he has gotten the global attention needed for his course. Now tell me: who is the fool?
You made a whole lot of sense, exactly my thoughts.
odduduwa: when someone is your source of inspiration what do you call that ......tomorrow you will come out to say you are neutral in tribal bigotry when I have never seen your neutral stands here
You are daft. Inspiration is totally different from Mentorship. Pick up the dictionary, and spot the difference. And the tribal bigotry is oozing from your words, can't you see it?
You want someone to key into your struggles then you start by heaping insult and death threat on them. Is that your definition of an invite?
Y'all started on a wrong footing. It should never have been a regional struggle with ethnic undertone. It should have been a struggle to liberate nigeria and that would have produced an Nnamdi kanu from each geopolitical zone. Imagine Buhari facing six of NK like asking for thesame thing -restructuring and resource control
Good cause, wrong tactic. We told you but you always reply with insults (won't be surprised if you do exactly that right now)
Everyone knows the injustice in this country but imagine the chaos if every tribe were to start what NK is doing today.
Chimamanda and several other people of influence would like to support NK but would not want to endorse him for his many foolish words spoken against other tribes. Endorsing him will tarnish her image.
I do not argue blindly, I come to the table with my brains. Would you throw away a baby with the dirty bathing water ? I do not subscribe to Nnamdi kanu nor his Biafran ideologies, buh I sympathize with them, in this part of the world, we only respond or take threats and violence serious.
Bokoharam was taken serious when they added a violent undertone to it.
The northern groups were lobbied and pressured to drop their quit notice threat, why? Because the north have a perchance for violence, even if the groups do not mean violence, same cannot be said of the almajiris on the street that only hear go and not come, buh do you know some Niger Delta groups also gave quit notice , no body took them serious because they knew they were jokers
Do you know that the Niger Delta struggle started a long time ago during the times of Ken sharp wiwa and co, buh they preached tolerance and followed a non violent approach, they were jailed, tried unjustly and killed by the nigerian government, but when groups in the region woked up and practised violence, kidnapped, killed, the government had to change their stance and renegotiated with them abi don't you know that if Bokoharam wakes up today and say they would stop violence and come to the table, that Nigeria would not be glad to pay them off so that the atrocities would stop.
So bros, they say the end justify the means, don't let sentimentalism becloud your reasoning. The current means he is using is wrong bro, buh that does notnwrite off the fact that he is struggling for something and don't forget that it is ur Lord buhari that made the mofo popular
As usual you think anyone who doesn't support kanu blindly must be a Buhari supporter. Typical IPOB reasoning.
Incase you didn't read my post, I have put it up there so that you can read it.
Since you think that Nigeria doesn't listen to non violent agitation it is sensible to you to adopt boko Haram and Niger delta militants as your role models.
Well it your choice. Go and buy guns and bombs and start killing too. That will give you Biafra speedily.
odduduwa: when someone is your source of inspiration what do you call that ......tomorrow you will come out to say you are neutral in tribal bigotry when I have never seen your neutral stands here
Trying to correct u is now tribal bigotry, right? I just wonder for some f u guys sha.
cstr1000: Chinua Achebe being a far superior writer is her mentor. She has attested to that many times. It is on youtube. What form did the mentoring take? Really? For the father of modern african literature? Go and ask her. Bad belle people.
Nobody is disputing Achebe's role in modern African literature. Obviously you did not watch or even listen to the entire interview in the Channels TV report, that you attached to your post. I did. Adichie spoke about how authentic Achebe's works were, and how different his writing style was, and how he inspired her and a generation of African writers. Not once, did she mention that he was her mentor. Not once was the word 'mentor', ever mentioned in that interview which lasted for 4.42 minutes. So what fake stories are you peddling here??
Kindly pick up a dictionary to find out the meaning of the word 'mentor,' and also the verb 'inspire.' Then try and compare the two, in order to understand the differences between them.
7inches: Heheheh stale line from u.. U have used that line atleast over 200 times ever since i kno u here... But u ar not wise enuff to hide ur AFONJAITIS in ur Comments .
Typical coward thats why they call u people coward becoz u know very well that if u comment as a yoruba u will trashed here with fact. But u can deceive others but not me bcoz im wiser than u are... and im 100% sure u are afonja... Lol
Lets drop our facebook ID's here and if u are not really coward afonja i will open a thread here and call my self names...
Ur AFONJITIES HAS BEEN BURSTED!
You are the real coward here. Because so far, you have been unable to substantiate your allegations, with any proof. You think name-calling and insults, will make people think you are right? Thanks for showing your true colours. You want me to drop my facebook ID here? Why?? To achieve what? Can't you see what a hopeless clown you are? How many times have I asked you and your people to provide solid, incontrovertible proof to show that Laudate is Yoruba? Include the name of his town, village, local govt area and traditional ruler, while you are at it. Every correct answer gets 20 marks! Until you are able to do that, may it never be well with you, you lying ekwensu!
Igboblog: Popular Writer, Chimamanda Adichie has finally debunked a rumour which says that she is a Biafran. Chimamanda Adichie who debunked the rumour through her Facebook page has this to say... Read below This headline below, and other similar headlines, which appeared on some websites: are false. They are completely invented; along with some accompanying quotes which have been attributed to me. I did not say or write those words. -CNA.
The sit-on-the-fence Chimamanda Adichies of Igboland must understand: if Igbo back out of agitation for restoration of Biafra without anything won from Nigeria, not even restructured political process of Nigeria won, in future, the Fulani can even gouge out the eyes of the Igbo in Nigeria, no questions answered.
Yours truly dislike people who pretend repository of intellect, but are tactically hollow.
igbodefender: We know, our Sister! The lie was spotted by some intelligent people as son as it was posted.
Nya gaziere GI nke OMA!
Don't mind those fake people trying to put fake words into her mouth. Adiche is very outspoken. if she supported Biafra, she would clearly assert it, without being ambivalent. She is not a pretender, of any sort. Didn't she take a categorical stand on feminism, when she wrote 'We should all be feminists?'
NOETHNICITY: u obviously need to be educated on the meaning of the term 'mentorship'.
People don't mentor people Frm afar.
u pple should stop embarrassing ursefs.
Tell dem, o!! Ask them if they were present during those mentoring sessions, that Achebe held with Adiche. Obviously, they do not know the difference between 'mentorship' and 'inspiration!'
The best thing for any 'missroad' Igbo who does not understand why people agitate for restoration of Biafra, can do is, steer off from public statements denigrating agitation for restoration of Biafra. This agitation must lead to getting a restructured Nigeria for equity now, or restoration of Biafra ultimately.
captleonerd: keep lamenting. even in the us laws differ from state to state. I'm from the SW why should I care about the kind of laws they adopt in the north as long as it doesn't affect me?
at the end of the day our tolerance and tact has made my region the safest to do business. the sw gets 75% of the FDI coming into the country.

Adichie thrives as an artist on having big-for-nothing name, Nigeria, attached to her credentials.
Like many successful Igbos of her profession, the money they make by attaching Nigeria to their CV is considered before they can publicly associate with a yet to be recognized country, Biafra. It's simple logic.
But such Igbos need to stick to their money-making business from the name, Nigeria, not publicly insult the psyches of millions of Igbos.

Nah, bros' permit me to respectfully disagree with you on this score. Adichie is not one of those Igbo writers trying to use the name 'Nigeria', as a way to make money from their art. Adichie is a truly gifted and talented writer, who has earned fame and credibility through her inspirational works of fiction, and her talent. The fact that she hails from Nigeria, does not add anything substantial to her status or her fame. She earned both status and fame, solely through her writing.
ebukahandsome: If wishes can turn to reality , give me an opportunity to date Tboss, and after dating, get married to chimamanda adichie. i will be the happiest man

Nigga, you need to educate yourself. So growing up in a house where someone used to live, now makes the person your mentor?
Her second novel was NOT proof-read by Achebe. Get your facts right! The novel had already been published, and her publisher/agent/editor sent a copy to Achebe. He responded by giving his own views, of her book, after it was published. Is that what you call mentoring? Oga, please look for a dictionary, and find out the true meaning of mentoring or mentorship. It is quite different from 'inspiration.' Again, I repeat - Achebe inspired Adichie.

She never lived with Achebe or his family, within the same residence or inside Achebe's house. She only grew up in a house, where Achebe used to live. After Achebe moved out of that house, her family moved into it. So does that mean Achebe mentored her? Are you so clueless?
