No be fight bro
Calm down. This is a faceless forum abeg

Mouth mouth mouth....facts that your deluded eyes fail to acknowledge. Yorubas are not in ANY way better, smarter, or more intelligent than igbos - FACT.

You are only suffering from inferiority complex.

Bro, provide you facts nah. Let's see nah

SonOfEl:
I think you should be the one to feed your head because there is nothing new in the link you posted. Before there ever was a crowther, there was an equiano... So your points are stale dude. Do more studies.

SonOfEl:
Your parents and those before them, you, and those after are no longer slaves, thanks olaudah equiano, an Igbo man proud of his Igbo heritage. So ajayi crowther owe his non negotiable freedom mainly to equiano, an Igbo man and first African abolitionist.

Achebe is revered even by Nobel laureates as the father of modern African literature, na only one Yoruba tribe dey cry blue murder because it wasn't Soyinka that was honored as such.

NCNC or AC, merit was the order of the day during the colonial and pre civil war era. Dike (UI), Njoku (unilag), igbos in all spheres of the civil service deserved their posts because it was on merit.

The firsts in the academia were igbos, sciences, arts, etc name them, or were they political too?

Over and over again, threads like these have been championed by yorubas but once an Igbo man comes to debunk their ewedu induced lies, they begin to shout tribalists, ingrates, blah blah blah....

OP your lesson too will come.

You my friend should read this :

Calls for the late Chinua Achebe to be awarded a posthumous Nobel prize for literature have "gone beyond 'sickening'" and become "obscene and irreverent", Achebe's fellow Nigerian author – and 1986 Nobel laureate – Wole Soyinka has said.

In a wide-ranging and passionate interview with SaharaReporters, ahead of Achebe's funeral this week, Soyinka urged Achebe's "cohorts" to cease in their attempts "to confine Chinua's achievement space into a bunker over which hangs an unlit lamp labelled 'Nobel'". As a winner of the prize, Soyinka can nominate future laureates to the Swedish Academy, and said he had been receiving a series of letters begging him to put Achebe forward.

"Let us quit this indecent exercise of fatuous plaints, including raising hopes, even now, with talk of 'posthumous' conferment, when you know damned well that the Nobel committee does not indulge in such tradition. It has gone beyond 'sickening'. It is obscene and irreverent. It desecrates memory," Soyinka told Sahara Reporters. "This conduct is gross disservice to Chinua Achebe and disrespectful of the life-engrossing occupation known as literature. How did creative valuation descend to such banality? Do these people know what they're doing – they are inscribing Chinua's epitaph in the negative mode of thwarted expectations. I find that disgusting."

Soyinka, whose own Nobel citation praises him as an author "who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence", asked if the award was really "what the literary enterprise is about? Was it the Nobel that spurred a young writer, stung by Eurocentric portrayal of African reality, to put pen to paper and produce Things Fall Apart?"

He added: "Chinua is entitled to better than being escorted to his grave with that monotonous, hypocritical aria of deprivation's lament, orchestrated by those who, as we say in my part of the world, 'dye their mourning weeds a deeper indigo than those of the bereaved'. He deserves his peace. Me too! And right now, not posthumously."

Soyinka also rejected Achebe's often-repeated description as the father of African literature – a label Achebe himself had vehemently resisted. Soyinka said that "those who seriously believe or promote this must be asked: have you the sheerest acquaintance with the literatures of other African nations, in both indigenous and adopted colonial languages? What must the francophone, lusophone, Zulu, Xhosa, Ewe etc etc literary scholars and consumers think of those who persist in such a historic absurdity? It's as ridiculous as calling WS [Wole Soyinka] father of contemporary African drama! Or Mazisi Kunene father of African epic poetry. Or Kofi Awoonor father of African poetry. Education is lacking in most of those who pontificate."
Soyinka said he regretted that he had never had the chance to challenge Achebe over his final book, There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra, which had been criticised in some quarters as "unduly divisive". "It is … a book I wish he had never written – that is, not in the way it was. There are statements in that work that I wish he had never made," he said.

His parting tribute to the Things Fall Apart author, said Soyinka, would be the poem he wrote to Achebe when he turned 70. "I plan for it to be published on the day of his funeral – my way of taunting death, by pursuing that cultural, creative, even political communion that unites all writers with a decided vision of the possible – and even beyond the grave," he told Sahara Reporters.

Boy of anger.
Warisdis
Get over you emotion mr
I need a mature mind.

Waridis

I don't deal with people who can't control their emotions, I prefer facts

Wizprodigy:
Have you forgotten that you said yorubas are better than the igbos in all ramification. Please which areas are they. For your information even with soyinka's award he was not called the father of african literature but an awardless achebe was? Please what does that say.

Oral Honour, that's all I see.


Read up :

http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/may/20/chinua-achebe-nobel-prize-wole-soyinka

Perhaps you quote the wrong person my friend. I was referring to most "firsts " achievement hence I used ajayi crowther as a points to drive home my points. Wasn't even disputing whatever claim you put up there.

I.e
First TV station.
Radio station.
First Two story building among others..



Ha han nah

Wizprodigy:
ok you only made mention of wole soyinka.
CHINUA ACHEBE
Known to be the father of african literature. His books sheds light on how the british invasion to igboland was met by stiff opposition. Noteable books he wrote are "Things fall apart", "There was a country". Most of his books were written in more than 15 language outside african.
CHIKE OBI
Known to be the first african with a phd in mathematics.

Is that all?

Where is the award?
There are countless of great men who left the world without honour nor even known for their works. But what conspicuous the few that are remembered today or known is " HONOUR "

Wizprodigy:
It seems your parent wasted their money trying to educate you. When has "honour" and "respect" begin to mean the same thing. Tell me which(if there is)Wole soyinka's book was written in more than ten languages and i will give you one of Achebe's book that was written in more that 15 languages. Yes it does not change the fact that crowther thought us English but come to think of it, you were first exposed to education but i became your V.C in two of your universities. What were your people doing? Owambe ofcourse. You claim to be better than the igbos in all ramification. Please in which area. Is it mathematics? Technology? Science? Business? Talk like you went to school.

What's essence of these without honour?

Get over you emotions and face reality rather than providing with Oral glory and what many Yoruba scholar has achieved as a tribe or individuals.

What's the essence of these without honour?


Wole Soyinka
Prize share: 1/1

The Nobel Prize in Literature 1986 was awarded to Wole Soyinka "who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence".


Yes Owambe is part of Yoruba culture, are you now attack yoruba race or the message?


You kept hammering about VC, how many "firsts" didn't Yorubas achieved even before common VC of a thing?

At the bolded
Bros, quit spamming around joor

Wizprodigy:
Illiteracy is indeed a disease. Which figures there are aba made? Is it the fact that the Whites give more respect to Achebes' books to soyinka's because he(Achebe)made more use of african culture and their way of life whereas soyinka was busy blowing big grammers? Is it the fact that the white folks knows that emegwali made internet what it is today whereas sarahareporters are busy saying trash about him? Is it the fact that you guys claim to teach igbos how to write in english but still became the V.C in the first university in Nigeria(U.I) and unilag. Is it the fact that igbos produced the best mathematicians in the person of Chike obi and Ezeilo while you guys with all those infrastructures couldn't even produce just one. With these few facts i think the stuffs i am pulling out of my anus is way better than the ones you pull out of your brain. Thank you.

Oh please relax.
Quit this spamming already.

Now, can you back you claim, what honour exactly? oh you mean Oral honour?
Cheii ibo pple sha


Dude, go on read history.
Whatever you wrote up there does not change the fact that a Yoruba man taught Igbo how to read and write.

And yes, an igbo man could be the first VC or whatever but that doesn't still change the fact that Yoruba beat Ibos in terms of "firsts" in all ramifications.


http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00fwp/igbo/igbohistory.html

Wizprodigy:
Common sense. First the person that started this useless comparison is a yoruba. As for you, i think you need to start school from primary two. What has infrastructures got to do with personal achievement? If i go to school in a place that have the structures but i came an become the best what does that say about the people? Take this points below.
1. Wole soyinka won a noble price in literature, Chinua Achebe is called the father of african literature.
2. Both Chinua and Ngozi chimamanda Achebe's books has being acted as films by foreigner but wole soyinka books wasn't even the gods are not to be blamed is not that globally recognized.
3. Chinua's book "Things fall apart" is the only african book to have being written in more languages and is still being read in spain and portugal.
4. The best mathematician in the entire Africa continent is Chike obi an Igbo man and don't forget ezeilo no yoruba has ever made that feat.
5. Phillip Emegwali will still remain father of internet which everybody in the world is enjoying an Igbo man again where were the yorubas.
6. Igbos have been given appointments in the world bank, IMF etc where were the yorubas.
7. Igbos are the only tribe in africa to make an outstanding comeback after war. The remaining are the jews, japanese and the germans

Hehe

Are you educated?
Then quite pulling out stuffs from your anus I hate aba made figures -i need facts.


Bro, what I put there are facts. ,ok
You don't need to spam around.

OperationIgrigi:
**grins** Lol. When Olaudah Ikwuano was writing the first ever Black man's Biography in 1700s, the yorubas were still killing and eating themselves in kiriji. Even crowther the creole wasn't born then. **grins**

It's early mormor as I am quite busy but for posterity sake.
Please read up -this is fact, true and indisputable history.

Dokubo-Asari describes Buhari’s victory a 'gang up'
Port Harcourt - A former Niger-Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has described the election of Muhammadu Buhari as a conspiracy between the North and South West against the South-South and South-East geo-political zones, reports The Nation.

Dokubo, who is also the leader of Niger Delta People Volunteer Force, (NDPVF, said the voting pattern showed a gang up against the east and the minorities.

Dokubo in a statement by his spokesperson, Rex Anighoro, said the election clearly reinforces the fact of self determination and the truth that Nigeria remains a very divided and separated entity.

Also read: Asari Dokubo issues fresh threat to attack Buhari

He noted that the victory Buhari is a historical reminder that the minorities are a conquered people who are mere appendages existing at the pleasure of the supremacist and the regional overlords.

I am coming with more facts, ready my friend

Op where are yaa



I love comedy half our such as this especially while I am less busy, you know?


The Chairman of state Presidents of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a socio-cultural organization, in seven Igbo speaking state, Dr. Chris Eluemunoh, on Tuesday warned against any attempt to “further marginalise” the Igbo in Nigeria.


Eluemunoh, who spoke with newsmen in Awka, the Anambra State capital, said such attempt would be greeted with a strong move for self-determination by the Igbo.


For him, Ndigbo had such concluded on such option, waiting for the “opportune time” to use the joker.


He said already, the United Nations had invited some Igbo elders, to hear them out about their demand for a sovereign state for the Igbo in June.


He said former National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, would be leading the Igbo delegation to the United Nations in June.


Eluomunoh, who was speaking against the backdrop of speculation that the incoming government of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, might marginalise the Igbo because the people of the South-East voted against him in the just concluded general elections.


He said some time last year, the African Union had also granted an Igbo delegation a similar audience in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.


The Ohanaeze boss said the best path the Buhari administration would toe would be to discuss with Igbo leaders on how to chart a viable course for the country.


Eluomunoh added, “Buhari must give us one additional state to put us at par with our other brothers. He must also implement the report of the National Conference. If he turns his back to that report, he is turning his back to the unity of Nigeria. If he kills the report, he is killing the unity of Nigeria.”


He admitted that the change that came to the country after the last general elections was a welcome development, given the fact that the Peolpes Democratic Party had stayed on the stage for a long time.


The Ohanaeze chief opined that there would be no real change in Nigeria if there “is no structural change” in the country.


Eluemuno disowned the Chief Ralph Obioha-led Ohanaeze Caretaker Committee, which visited Buhari and canvassed for appointments for the Igbos, dismissing report of any conflict in the organisation

Not too lame as you think?

It is only lame for the Yoruba's that always find themselves at opposition to any known ruling party at the center.
The big question is are the Yoruba's actually irrelevant?

Read what you wrote up there again, patiently this time please

Looolz

This is too "lame"

I see no sense in this. What's the essence of politics without opposition?


Mind you, unlike the people from the land of the falling sun yoruba don't do politics to be rewarded with political post nor cry over post.

Where are gej till 2019?
Remember the opposition unseated gej till...

StOla:
But why did a Yoruba man teach these dudes how to read and write their own language?

History can really be wicked to the tribally arrogant.
