belovedaja: may kamalu/amadioha strike you dead idiot

NA Sango go strike you dead - ewu

starve the idiots to death even 10 million of them - its warfare not funfare

mekuslogan: The cry that Awo was a monster would have been more strident were ''no victor no vanquished'' not declared. You wait until Ojukwu's book is out. Awo will be in the real hell that he deserves.
Did Awo starve Igbos? Is it okay to disallow a starved child from complaining about the starvation?

you look more to me like someone starved of right reasoning - what more will Ojukwu's book say? And why did the coward wait till after his death before a book on a selfish warfare that caused the lives of about 2 million igbos - even igbos surrender when he was in exile - a coward alive and dead

You are thinking with your feet - toad

amacastel: May amadioha strik dt ur useles mouth dt u use 2 cal igbos,arm robbery is every wia is nt a tribe ting so s dnt tlk abt igbos n lagos cos we ar nation developers any twn an igbo man no dy dt twn is dead ewu no be igbo man be ur landlord in ur so cal twn u no dy shame fool we mad lagos wot itis check well onuku odeku aturu ofe mmanu

you are calling Amadioha's name in vain -ewu. The Amadioha dat did not strike when over 2 million was killed in his vineyard is now being called to strike ur father cos I spoke the truth. You are busy developing other people's land like a serial bastard that u are while erosion is ferrying ur villages to oblivion - which person landlord ur papa be? Me? That's a scary joke. Una made Lagos what it is - yes nau because it was wen ur scum-brains came to Lagos that the word "the old days" became an adjective for the develpment of Lagos - poverty is molesting ur pple you are here forming "na my paddy" with Lagos

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]^^^Fool! How it works is that you write your own rebuttal to Achebes' novel.....and as a website, you don't favour one side over the other. kapish?

I can see that book got under your skin....telling you things you're hiding your head in the sand, trying to ignore.

Shi/t-eating slimy maggot![/quote]How will I write rebuttal when history already wrote the truth - its only hard for the old man to come to terms with the truth. Yes you are right I have dis detest for falsehood and half-truth peddling or trafficking in rumours - so I have to hid my head in the sand cos its coming from Chinua Achebe of all idiots...

Yours sincerely
Sh*t eating - Slimmy maggot

redsun: The title will be "a becloude Nigerian views about survival instinct"

You slowpoke,you dont know that it is more worthy to die for a genuine cause than live without a reason and in fear.That is why your type will always remain subjected to their own meseries.

so you are alive today because you have to genuine cause to die for abi? Wat the OP said is the truth look inward no man is infalliable - ask question, think, don't just dub skewed history, think - questions. If you can't ask questions can you at least answer the one he raised.

Ehisod: SEUN! SEUN!! SEUN!!! How many times I call your name? i totally agree with the poster above. I have received a ban before on this forum for inviting people to discuss forex. However no matter the amount of tribal mud slinging that is done on various threads on the forum no action is taken by you and your moderators to curb this ugly habit. You should make it very clear that this is not a forum to show our tribal sentiments by banning/suspending any member who post tribal insults here to discourage it because it is becoming a bloody rave. And don't worry that it will lead to less visits and clicks cos it will not. Also with this going on here I think this site should have some parental guidance info for kids surfing the web.

Then someone will have to stop Amazon from selling the $19 tribal book "there was a country" by Chinua Achebe - stop shouting Seun, the elders (achebe) already endorsed the mud slinging fest...who is slinging next?

chucky234: Wetin concern Biafran with this topic now,na only you be Lagosian wey dey here abi you sabi talk pass me. Mumu go kill cos una no want make this country move forward,e-tribal lord wey no go fit yarn dust in front of those omo nna.

Everything about the topic Concerns Biafra because is a function of an Igbo DNA and so also is stealing from their poor - u remember how fat Ojukwu was in that female regalia on his way to exile and how pitiful the masses were. And tagging me an e-tribal lord is an unfair accessment of a man who stood against half-truths from a delusioned tribe called Igbos - and to the dust; why will I yarn dust when I can yarn sand, gravel and mud.lool

Ngodigha1: If Biafra wanted to Attack the Yorubas, Banjo would not have been appointed the commander of that batallion. The east meant well for the west but you guys don't see it that way. If I had been in charge of that command, I would have turned those mud houses and rotten brown roofs upside down. Dahomey would have been filled up with refugees.

you are kidding right? Why will you mean well for us are we your subordinate? Do you still engage the service of ur brain b4 you write? The war last d span till Yorubas join the fray - of course you knw the rest of the story

[quote author=9ja_I_hail]The question you should ask is, did Awolowo commit the crime achebe accused him of? How do you justify the act of blocking the means the Biafrans are getting aids from other countries? out of desperation they were quick to reach agreement with Cameroon to hand over oil rich bakassi peninsular to them if they can block Biafra from getting aids from France and other countries who was against the injustice the UK and Nigeria Govt melted to Biafrans.Finally they won the war but as everyone can see Bakassi people are about to take up arms against Nigerian Govt for ceding them to Cameroon without their consent or referendum.[/quote]I pity the morons liking dis ur lies and deceits...check the 1914 map of Nigeria which constitute part of the evidence tendered by Cameroon you will see that Bakassi is never part of Nigeria. Cameroun was hold in trust by Nigeria and when they decided to leave the souther cameroon left but the Northern Cameroon melted into present day Nigeria. Get ur facts right - start from who is to blame for the genocide during the civil war - Ojukwu or his soldiers?

Same way biafran soldiers stole from the masses during the civil war - typical vice of an average igbo man. In d stead of guarding against acts like dis in their hometown they are preoccupied with falled attempts to smear the name of Tinubu or fight for the ownership of Lagos - and now blaming Awo for the sins of their leaders...its no news igbos always steal from their poor

Your forefathers hid the truth of an alternative food route from you for years and now that almost rid it off history but not anymore. Now you can go and ask why your general prefer to use you folks to bait sympathy from foreign lands -

Onlytruth: The response coming from some of Yoruba elite on this issue is quite frankly ludicrous.
Achebe's memoir and the exact words he chose to describe Awo are very specific and succinct. Achebe never speaks half truths, or encase words in riddles. He always speaks plainly and to the point. He did that on two occassions when he turned down national honors. He has an antecedent of being a FIERCE LOVER OF TRUTH. No amount of fake indignation from any quarters would change Achebe or tarnish his reputation. The international community know him already.

The situation some of these defenders of Awo find themselves is analogous to an animal caught in a snare made of amazing ropes and twines. Once entangled, the more the "victim" tries to disentangle, the tighter the noose on the victim.

Okay, let me ask Mr Fani Kayode one question: WHAT ABOUT THE 20 POUND POLICY? How did he forget that one?

What even baffles me is that Achebe never attacked Yoruba people; HE "ATTACKED" AWOLOWO, and unless Awolowo has become Oduduwa himself, it should be an insult to the Yoruba tribe for anyone to pretend that Awo even rises to touch the shoes of such noble Yoruba sons, as Prof Wole Soyinka, Fela Anikulapo Kutui (and his entire Ransome Kuti family), and even my spiritual mentor Dr D. K Olukoya.

So, I get personally indignant on behalf of Yoruba folks, when people raise Awo above the entire tribe.

Methinks that the more those Awo defenders try to scrub Awo's tarnished legacy, the tighter the noose on their throats!

I have one advice for them : SURRENDER TO THE SNARE OF TRUTH ELSE IT WILL LYNCH YOU!

Signed,

Onlytruth, Ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland.

Is Achebe the first Nigerian to turn down a national honour? This man is so prone to fictious writing to the extent that this memoir akin a fiction. So far the excerpt from the book shows a man that misplaced his oratory, an old man whose brain is gradually on an intellectual decline, an old soldier tormented by the loss of a war, a bigot with a pen and a paper, a man with a lofty libido for jargons. Achebe narrow-mindedness has reduced his memoir to a crafted piece of fiction with tainted paragraphs of skewed history. Awo remain the symbol of Yorubas just like d political "Oduduwa" any attempt by a bigot to smear the good name of Awo is a direct affront on the Yoruba and we will not take it slightly...remember the spirit of the "Black scorpion" - it only fight when the need arise. You can't re-write history Ojukwu is a selfish man - the war was all about him, him, and him; so sorry your fore fathers was caught in web of his self-gratification and so sorry you are still clad in the same web many years after.

With all these inciting topics over the book by "quarter to grave" author, Achebe - what exactly do u Igbos expect of us? Do u want us to go wake Awo from his grave to apologise to you all for facilitating the end to a manner-less war? Or do you want us to apologise to you for taking arms against your own nation - just like Boko Haram? What exactly fuel your knack for blame passing? Awo is dead - Ojukwu is dead - the only living being is us; so what will all these inflammatory remarks result into if not another war - another "genocide" - another blame passing - another war and so on. You Igbos will never learn. so belligerent but bereaved of intel to win a war - if not for guns and bombs Ojukwu will neva be a leader in igboland what u guys love is trouble but when faced with counter trouble u blame who ever countered you like its your sole right to cause trouble - its a war you win any way.

Chuksgeo: The yo-rubbers are the most cowarded tribe in this entity called nigeria, well that is a topic for another day. obafemi awo or awolowo is a nazist following his infamous 'STARVATION POLICY', and how can a tribe that have never fought a war tell war stories more than others who have? This is to show that the yo-rubbers are cowardly parrots just like the saying 'after the mens wrestling women discuss the match' this is just what the yorubas are doing, ' it is also said that if you are not when the dead is buried and you are asked to dig the corpse you will definitely start from the leg' this is typical of this ofe mmanued yo-rubbers, COWARDS! IGBO KWENU!

if thru an "infamous" "starvation policy" a coward defeat a brave tribe of urs then cowardice must have another meaning alien to the dic. You dnt fight war with bravery u fight war with tactics and intelligence which is wanting in d biafra war. Did u call biafra a war? Far from it, ur fore-father just offered ur pple to the guns and wen they can't stomach it anymore they flee. It is better not to fight a war when its obvious u will not win-Ojukwu exemplify igbo, a tribe who offered his future to the bullets becos of a selfish leader that absconded when is quest for self-adulation was stopped by a coward called awo...deal with it - blame ur leaders for ur woes.

I want to pardon the author - how will his book sell if its void of sensational half-truths like dis. Its obvious from the excerpt that Achebe is a bigot a manifestation of his fictious Okonkwo of his "things fall apart" fame. If this were to be another fiction am sure the world will take it serious but as it is and coming from a man who is in dare need of who to blame for a senseless war he was part of the world will ignore his notes as another work of fiction and ensemble of misplaced history. Am sure Achebe will see nothing wrong in Ojukwu absconding when his pple nids him most, am sure the notes of the prof will not accomodate truths like the war is ill-timed, ill-advised, ill-conceived, ill-planned, ill-executed and ill-led. Ojukwu is the one intoxicated with want for power he only used his unsuspecting igbos to achieve his aim - if the war succeeded ojukwu for sure will be d president - in d rank of mugabe,Gaddafi and co they all masquerade as freedom fighters. Swallow the blame prof, u and ur likes are responsible for a war u knw is deem to fail, u killed those innocent igbos for ur senseless quest for power, u can't rewrite history - why lie on a dead man cos he can't defend himself, its lofty cowardice prof.

I pardon everytin in dat release but sincerely wat is "notorious fact"? It will pass for wordplay sha but anytin afta dat is total nonsense

Some people are just so insensitive to reality - We lost over 40 students and you think dressing it with ethnic babariga and religious colouration is wat is right? Do we still have human who have brain and can be referred to as higher mammals? Can u guys drop d history tirade and face reality? We are being misled by faith, misdirected by history and misconstrued by bigotry. We lost people just like u and me - and all u do is to display high profile insensitivity...let's be remorseful for once at least we have reasons to - death of over 40 students, death of morals, death of good governance, death of great leaders, death of people oriented policies and so on

May the souls of the dead Rest in God's Peace - this is utterly anti-islam, anti-any religion and anti-human; I applaud the succes recorded by the security operatives so far bt with news as gory as this it shows a whole lot nid to be done and with God the sane people of Nigeria will prevail...#where is sango when u nid him

afam4eva: He should put in more efforts to hijack the south-west from ACN before he starts talking about marginalization. I don't even think the south-west is more marginalized than other major regions.

Your failed warlord, Ojukwu founded APGA - a wise man like u shld be preoccupied with wrestling d East from PDP in d favour of ur belligerent leader but ur obtuse brain is concerned about ACN...And for u to use d word hijack shows u re dull-witted. Dnt be SW saviour, your pple need u in d east...

iykak47: questions begging for answers, but people prefare to blame GEJ instead of answering these important questions.

your prejudiced mind will not make d answer obvious - if you must knw Yorubas are not bigots we supported Tambuwa and so far he is doing great. Kip rambling in ur parochial cesspool; we ve exceeded bigotry to flaming progressiveness. Idiots like u can kip looking for answers to dis question - is Jonah different frm a Titus?

mekuslogan: See how ordinary local Ijaw fisherman put Yoruba and nama people kingdom into obscurity?

Tinubu is busy filling his pocket and deceiving them into believing they are being rescued from obscurity

The Akinjide Man said SW and NW have same COW mentality. Na waoh!

it was actually dat cow mentality dat devour ur grass mentality during the civil war - you guys are only making a d minority south-south ghostly per second, with ur 3 million votes Jonah can neva be more than a governor of Bayelsa; soon wil reaped the fruit of dis una discord.

omoredia: The corrupt senators and house of rep members are the problem they will always resist any effort to reduce allowances and salary. I'm sure buhari can do such but will donate to fund terrorism instead of a good cause!

another social alchemist trying to transform a lie to a fact - a lie is a lie no matter how many times you quote it. Its mere social alchemy, an unsocial form of stupidity that sought to transform a lie to a fact...early alchemist failed and u will fail, infact u don fail
