Mirasteel:
IBB was so evil that he didn't change his mind.

It is military law. He was not the only one involved.
Ojukwu also ececuted his best friends

Morizo:
Vats

Vatsa was set up by some powerful people around IBB
He was IBB's best Man during his Wedding to Mariam.

His protection for the Christians on the North cost his life

Set up for what? Was he the only one around?

loganx:
Today Babangida is old, weak and sick. Wheel-chair bound with the angel of death constantly at his stride, not sure when he'll get the final call.
If you'd ask IBB, what has been his greatest regreat, one would surely stand out; the k#l@ing of Vatsa.
Men are mere mortals, Legacy is Immortal...how do you want to be remembered?

When he passed death sentence on his best friend, he thought his would never come.

IBB had never indicated he regretted killing Vatsa. He was only sorry Vatsa did what he did

Eriokanmi:
The only valid post here. From your moniker, you really knew what happened in that era. IBB set vasta up. He was his childhood friend and very intelligent. He was much more brave as well so IBB saw him as a threat. There was an unconfirmed information that IBB was also eyeing Vasta's pretty wife. He was a flirt military officer wey no dey take eye commot for women. He was alleged to have also slept with Buhari's wife while the latter was in prison. Buhari had to divorce her after his release. Same IBB snatched maryam from Bongo Sikwe.

Yes, and IBB also told Dimka to strongly implicate him and magically invented the N10K check that nailed his coffin. Wehdone

Airlord2030:
rubbish

Who else went to jail for supporting Igbos and telling international community Nigeria was committing genocide against them? Makes you wonder. Hmmm

Airlord2030:
as far as no Ibo person will win it, I am satisfied
Abi LZAA nor be truth?

You forget Soyinka spent 2 years in jail for suporting Igbos and saying Nigeria was committing genocide. Why na him carry everything for head? He was also campaigning to honor Igbos. How are you sure he's not secretly Igbo? Hmmmm🤔

Airlord2030:
rest, no Ibo person will win Nobel prize till eternity

How is that my problem?
How about Fulani? Will Fulani win?
Hausa nko?
Maybe Bwala will win😅

ppogba:
We are used to your changing narratives in Nigeria. You cannot succeed with this narrative concerning Nobel.

Allow Achebe to rest this afternoon.

StoryHaven:
I never mentioned anyone's name o.
But as you don mention name make I answer you.

Yes He is not in the same league with him.

That's why he got the the Prize

Kog45:
Oga you go explain tired and I know you are still feeling the pain of Soyinka Nobel laureate award.It is a pity you can not rewrite history and non of your explanations can change it...Respect to Soyinka and Achebe

See below..
Please try not to mention Achebe and Soyinka in same sentence when it comes to purely writing

Kog45:
Una don start with una rubbish,outside world know who is who between Achebe and Soyinka,so leave emotion out of it,imagine Soyinka won Nobel laureate cuz of activism not cuz he was a good writer.

Exactly. If MNK were a writer he'd win one b4 Adichie. Blame Alfred Nobel who set up criteria for the Prize

Zooposki:
Men dont even raise their kids today, let's be honest. Women naturally dont need men, hence why they have to be brainwashed from childhood to think they need men eg beauty and the beast, Cinderella etc

Because men have DAUGHTERS and they want their daughters under a man's protection.
WHY does a man want to be around a cranky pregnant woman when there are free women around? A woman NEEDS a man to be a father figure for her children. A man doesn't need a woman who already has his kids in any way whatsoever, except sex which he can get elsewhere.
It is very important that a girl be able to "trap" a man through marriage - that's why so much effort socializing them to be wives.
Blame BIOLOGY for all this

nairalanda1:
No, tribalism

The events of 1966-70 were the result of long term tribalism festered by our national cake economy

Infact,.Okoi Arikpo's article ' the two nigerias' is a description of the north south divide and it was published in 1956!

The problem is an economy based on sharing money , not on productivity

North/South divided, not East/West divided. Based on religion

ppogba:
MNK will soon win Nobel soon going by your infantile logic. But before him, Sowore would have won double.

If he were a writer, he definitely would be considered before Adichie - it is part of the criterea set by the founder of the prize

lordwoz:
Activism for Nobel prize in Literature right?

That's part of the criteria set by Alfred Nobel. Read up on it

datola:
Wole Soyinka remains the greatest writer from Africa!

Chinua Achebe is the greatest novelist.

ppogba:
Which league?

And the UEFA and the FIFA that awards Nobel did not see this when he was alive?

If the debate continues now, you will start blabbing left , right and center as it is common with your ilk.

Go Siddon abeg.

No let the man cry again this afternoon abeg.

Please don't mention Achebe and Soyinka in same sentence when it comes to writing. Nobel made it clear they rewarded activism - Soyinka spent years in jail

ppogba:
You people. are always looking for an opportunity to allow Achebe continue his weeping in the grave. Not this afternoon.

Simply stating an unbiased fact - Achebe and Soyinka are not in same league when it comes to writing

StoryHaven:
"Wole Soyinka became the first African to win the Nobel Prize for Literature that same year"

The truth is if he had won it earlier, the three couldn't have gone together.
Jealousy wouldn't have let the other two agree with him. We know the one who would have opted out, between the other two.
Jealousy against the Yorubas run in their blood.

It is NOT jealousy against anybody, it is a just that Soyinka is not in the same league as Achebe when it came to writing

nairalanda1:
But was allegedly denied because tribalism.

Nope, brcause of one man - Awo, not Yorubas in general

1972xy:
Mamman Vatsa was a victim of hatred for rhe Middle belt . They saw his as a threat.

Dimpka strongly IMPLICATED him.
What has that to do with Middle Belt??

nairalanda1:
Actually the same issues with tribalism and bigotry were present back then

Even then many Nigerians arose across bigotry as at now, to be friendly with one another. It's folks like you guys who spend too much time on the internet that think otherwise

Vasta was a poet and author so the three men were there because of their fellow author

Nope, it wasn't always like this. Remember Zik almost became the first premier of Western Region

Never knew Vatsa was a writer.
See Achebe, the greatest WRITER of them all
But Soyinka won Nobel basically for activism

Zooposki:
Marriage for the woman is just a life of servitude, so she is not missing out either way you look at it. Women are wising up. The institution of marriage will be outdated sooner or later.

Marriage is a mechanism that forces men to hang around and help with pregnancy and help raise the children they produce. Marriage is totally for women and totally favors women - that's why it is rightfully a big deal for them. BIOLOGY made it so! But for marriage, tell me WHY a man shouldn't spend his resources and time impregnating other women and therefore ensuring survival of his genes, instead of hanging around to raise ones already produced with one woman? Women can't do same because they can only produce a very limited number of children - and they NEED a man to hang around and be their father!

TheGift:
"Every bridesmaid" where do you come from ? Where did you get this kind of reasoning from, abeg?

May God help us.

"Every" as in "Everybody knows Atku is corrupt"
Obviously "everybody" is not meant literarily

piagetskinner:
So your wife wants to have sex with you but you’re not in the mood for it and she does it anyway.. that’s rape? And that isn’t a dumb question jackass.

HOW can your wife FORCE you to produce an erectiom??

Proserpina:
It's pathetic to say the least! Very disgusting how most men glorify sex yet they are the first to scream "sex is overrated ".

I read some comments on these thread and realised how far behind we really are as a nation.

Which nation? This is about himan nature! Sex IS overated until you don't have outlet for it. A 16 year old with raging hormones is being molested!😅

Proserpina:
No it isn't absurd! They are the same! Abuse is abuse! If there were to be a confrontation the woman is stronger, it seem otherwise because she was in a lustful submissive state. It's like when a lady pushes a man to the bed with a finger are you saying she's stronger than the man?

That woman abused the boy, he's a minor! There are teenage girls who are sexually experienced and active before they were abused should we doubt or erase their truths because "they were experienced " ?

That woman should be punished!

Some of the commenters were regretting that no teacher abused them while in school. Just thinking of all the olosho money and wahala they could have saved

FaAbData:
All the people that slept with him underage did wrong weda olosho or class teacher.

Stop going around the story, sleeping with a minor is a crime under rape,

People do (and enjoy) all sorts of things that are crimes.

Goldensword:
Trump obsession with peace prize award is something else, the noble peace prize he missed, still hurt him deeply, he has to make FIFA manufacture a new kind of peace prize for him, just to massage his ego.

The woman who actually won the Peace Price dedicated it to him and offered to give it to him

FaAbData:
Do you know there's something called statutory rape? Age of consent?.

As a 33 years old man if I sleep with a 17 girl who loves me and was even the one to seduce me and was even the one untop of me taking the lead, it's rape. It's same with a 33 years old woman and a 16 years old girl
Rape doesn't always have to do with force

How about if it can be proved the boy had been patronizing olosho steady?

He said they did same thing with Annie.
When??

franchasofficia:
oh good, I am extrasex too

There is nothing like "extrasex"
I am serious and and you're beong flippant.
See intersex below

franchasofficia:

Intersex. I am intersex
