I often hear stories up here in UK of what happened during Awolowos regime and his scorch earth policy...I used to think it was all exaggerations and stuff until I read the book There was a country....that book changed my perspective to the point of Boiling with hate....

I wish I'd never touched the book. I have good Yoruba fends. one is a bosom friend. But each time I see him, I must confess...narratives of the book swell up in me.

Some say Achebe shouldn't have but why sweep thangz under the carpet.....A million children...

This is the prime base of this whole trashy bigotry. You sit down under the comfort of the white man's progressive reasoning, and read a book that turn you into a bag of hater. Smh. certainly, Achebe aim is accomplished on you, because from your post it shows you are lacking historically. Maybe you should ask prof. Odia Ofeimu about the fallacies Achebe pened down, and hear his own view, he's igbo after all and a first hand witness of that war. This is why your sister, chimamanda tries her best to liberate your mindset from the shackles of delusion and wrong-induced historical trash, with her message on "single story".
I'm sure a lot barbaric, inhumane events were carried out even among the biafran army, it is war after all, how many of such was pen down for us today, they were shielded for life.

You actually need to go through the internet and read peoples' comments and opinions both local and international, about that book, then you would know how much the respected Achebe, though a man I hold in high esteem and still holds, is very wrong.

tpiar:
true @ bolded.

Why is it that some of you are so daft to always make absolute assertion with no empirical evidence and lacking sound and correct reasoning.

@bolded there, is latest fallacy on here.

scaredy:

Don't mind the clown. I've warned him that he risks condemning his entire lineage to poverty and failure if he doesn't change his lazy mentality and go work hard so he can earn money to afford a wife

Not bad... everyone must speak the language of the land...
BUT what about the CHRISTIAN, HINDUS, JEWISH (etc.) women who cannot speak English? There are plenty of them too. Will they be exempted?
Make the requirement general for everyone... It's beneficial to everybody.

But the muslim women are more prone and susceptible to isis manipulation due to language advantage.....tho I may not agree with some of his comments, I bet you can understand better, language increases a better sense of integration, which by far create a better knowledge and acquaintances of the people you have around you.

I think the problem you have was that he was specific, isn't that the right thing to do? The truth!

safarigirl:
you must be a trash collector for opening a trash thread. Dem beg you make you open?

Frustrated souls everywhere

Actually, there's no point replying an irrational mofo and dunce like you......continue tolling around things that less affect you.


That's how far your brain can go. Dummie!

seriously! I don't know why trash like this should grace the fp.....why shud such a thread be at fp even at page "0".


This, just tell a lot on what and how an average Nigerian thinks and consequently his relationship with his society at this critical time of our country. Yet the subject is prince eke twins. How on earth does that make us any reasonable.

Where are we going

@mylordship I jst hope there are evidence to prove all what you saying.
All these sound too weird.

missKiffy:

johnydon22:

Lol.. Yes actually there is a reason why you exist because i am sure there is a reason your parents got married...

Now that i am sure you cleared on my post ... hope am done now

Lol...funny you.

johnydon22:
I think there is need for me to break it in a simpler way.

"Someone who has a mansion in Lekki doesn't get scared when threatened with Quit notice in a one bedroom apartment he stays in Ajengunle.."

Let me hope you understand it now and not say i mean theists should go and die..

the question is what is a man with mansion in lekki doing in a room apartment in ajegunle??

You see there is reason for our existing here on earth irrespective of belief, ideology or whatever.

johnydon22:

I am responsible for what i write, you are responsible for what you understand..

I am not obligated to understand it for you.... If the bolded is what you understood from my post then am sorry, i have nothing to say over it

Well u r entitle to ur opinion. Smh.

johnydon22:
Isn't remarkable how these guys expecting a golden mansion and a place 100000x better than earth after they die still do not want to die..

It should be expected someone expecting better should be happy at the slightest opportunity to get it..

But them no wan still die leave bad earth go perfect heaven go enjoy

I'm sorry @Jognnydon22 but ur integrity is questionable here, so because some people believe in God and heaven mean they should die at anytime since they have better place to go?

This is more like blasphemy against humanity than your constructive religious augment. I'm sorry if I sound harsh or accusing, to me it more theists should die because of their belief.

cococandy:
So if these people hate the igbos this much as I can see from the comments on this thread, why are you hurt when they bring up the topic of segregation?
What kind of confusion is this?

Sista, it is only ur pre-meditated mindset that has becloud ur sense of sight purporting it toward hate against ur people. Haba, reason well, basically if most comment are to be scrutinize very well, they are constructive enough pointing the error made by igbo group. So the confusion is not here but with you.

That is the Biafran double-standard at play. When their governor demolished some markets, they claimed he was following the town master plan and in the overall interest of Ndigbo, fast forward to the demolition of some shanties call market by in the loop of a major round-about that ordinarily should be a green-area, the Biafrans are as usual crying Igbo victimization.
These people annoys and irritates sane minds.

Personally I wish these folks give certain event a critical thought before throwing unnecessary stones. Its just unfortunate.

I see no reason for this group to make any threat whatsoever, imaging considering the governor an arch-enemy.....pls they should go ahead and do it. So many igbo youth do not even believe in the compromised association.

Playing the victim card is the highest point of coward display, the government gave quit notice, it is expected of the people to oblige, did they?? And even the demolished building does it also belong to the igbos? Thirdly, are the igbos the only marketers at the oshodi market?

Be sincere with yourself, and think properly before you spew trash....this is nothing but being sentimental and insecured. If this had happened in the east will you people be ranting now, beside there are evidence of similar occurrence during peter obi's tenure in anambra state, we never heard of anything threat rending the walls, now that it is a yoruba man in sw, your clear interpretation is clear hatred against the igbos. That's highly pathetic of you. Smh.

I mean imaging what is making front page every one and then.
What is becoming of nairalandland na
