babyosisi: More Achebe news





so the more than 10and 12 million we read is about the English copies alone

Is this book written in Chinese?
We could be talking of 30 more millions o

In my will, I will leave a lot of earthly belongings to each of my descendants, plus a copy of "There was a country"

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]There was a hulla balloo list of dignitaries from around the world expected at the funeral. The UN's Ban Ki Moon was even on the list. It turned out that President of Ghana was the only foreign leader present. Why did not Obama send a delegate? What weight does the speech have when it failed representation at the man's burial?[/quote]Google is your friend.

babyosisi: Biko any one wey get more Chinua news abeg post am quick quick
The effect on the scar faced is beauriful


Who knows how many copies of his memoirs sold?

The book is selling more than pure water on a hot tropically sunny day. Even barrow pusers are buying one copy for themselves and another copy for their unborn children.

Crayola1: He's mad that most folk use Soyinka's books to prop up a shaky table. Don't mind him.

Upper cut! classic!

I never read his works, they are very unpopular.

Ola Johnson: There is nothing unique about Achebe's style. If you know, I plead, mention. This is unlike Ayi Kwei Armah whom I respect so much for his descriptive skills.

The only thing unique about Achebe is that he inspired the president of the world to develop confidence in himself. Ayi could not do that. But I am not surprised, your hate for the Igbo has made me made some cool cash off some yoruba man today, keep inspiring me bruva!

What we need now is a foreign technical adviser!

The president of the world has spoken. The only other authoritative voice to speak is God the father, but I know he will speak good of Achebe, God gave him skills and made him use it to change the world. He did the work of God.

django1: So easterners are not happy? Who could have thought of that?

I'm guessing the next few years will give you lot a lot of head ache as SW will not stop moving forward.

We are happy, I am already making moves to import the spare parts of the ipom kalakuta to that laughable state where the governor has a beard like a he goat

Afam4eva: Like i said in another thread a few months back, this initiative is very expensive especially for a state like Osun that is not oil driven. It's sustenance is what worries me. There are better ways to give students access to whatever learning curve that's not so expensive. Let's take it one step at a time.

But one thing i like most about Aregbesola is his nack for making his governance an Africanist one. These are the kind of people we need as leaders in Africa as their leadership has that African feel to it.

Very expensive, very soon parents will be selling their children to buy the ipon rubbish......

Soso990240: bcaus their clubs na europe bests abi?what do u knw about coaching?@ topic..d guy go see real challange dis time around..quote me,chelsea canneva win any match against Man.city next season..Man.city will be at d top in england.N/B:am nt a man.city fan..F.C.B 4 life. .

Chelsea deal with FCB last year,

1. Kicked them out of the UCL
2. the expensive chip over the head of the keeper by Ramires
3. Messi was inside Mikel Obi pocket through out the match
4. Messi misses a penalty against Cech
5. the dribbling of the goalie by Torres
6. Sacking of Guardiola

Gbawe: Hahaha. Proof we are dealing with street hawkers and hustlers claiming to be "business gurus". When your comprehension skills are this awful, how can you earn money let alone teach others to do so. Perhaps you need to read what I wrote again, slowly and for the next 3 hours, to understand I never claimed to be Richard Branson. Rather, I was showing that your inane and abnormal response is not at all similar to that which can be expected from the sort of business man you alaba hustlers all pretend to be.

And your point again?

Odenigbo Aroli: I have been watching you with side eye for a while and almost concluded you aren't biased but now its clear you are just like your Enugu brothers like afam,zuby,van bonnatel and nightshift. When a link to the website where most of Obi's first term achievements were listed you came in and acted like you didn't see anything....That hate for Anambra will never let most of you Enugites and Imolites think straighrt...smh

I am not from Enugu, I am even more Anambra than Enugu but my state is a secret for now. What every right thinking Igbo man is saying is that Peter Obi has persistently under performed, contaray to all known expectations. That state has much more potentials than any state from the SE but they are ranking second to last, just beating Abia because of the disaster that is the two orjis.

All of us thought that Anambra will break out and lead the whole SE like their children are leading in intellect and business, but the reverse is the case, the whole place seems stagnant right now and we dont hear anything about any new works by the governor. The man is clueless, lets face the fact. I wish the state better leaders, revolutionary thinkers who will calm down and understand the peculiar nature of the state and will not be afraid to ruffle some feathers, somebody whom can plan his tenure and be seen by the great majority of Anambra people to have performed. Not to save money for the state, the money that will all vanish immediately he leaves office.

I think Obi is less than honest.

eggheaders: oda na am gonna pm you my real name and use Google to know you ain't dealing with your fellow low lives.

Dont bother, my computer no dey connect to google

Gbawe: Bruv I think my sarcasm confuses you. Believe me, there is nothing at all you can teach me. I am merely asking you to share you wealth creation principles with the forum. After all, business men do this freely do they not? Why are you suddenly talking like a paranoid-delusional person? How , for example, would Richard Branson, especially when he can retain anonymity, ever respond to a business knowledge enquiry by saying: "You want me to teach you, a total stranger with sinister intentions business tricks in an online forum" ?

The more you clowns talk the more you deride yourselves as losers, petty hustlers and empty barrels pretending to be what they are not because your reactions make no sense and betray you as fraudsters. Most genuine businessmen and business leaders would even be more talkative and forthcoming on the net because they only need surrender their ideas and not their identity. Mumu. To share ideas and "teach" others as you claim is your ethnic endowment is now difficult for you. Joker.

A poor fellow begging me to teach him business ideas so his family will not perish from hunger is now claiming to be Richard Branson all of a sudden, guy, better beg very well because as I dey see you so, hunger dey your body.

eggheaders: all mouth ain't interested in any contest with anybody just don't wanna reveal my worth or my businesses in a public forum isn't that making you lots appear like dolts.

I still insist, you are worth nothing! sisi no gum you!

eggheaders: hey sicktard. well travelled my a55 if it about blowing your worth here you messing with the wrong man. you wanna come up with the most travelled man contest. Mr man I don't work for no one but myself don't need blowing my trumpet.

But you have a "free education" certificate?

Cavalli: See, my brother, may God bless u. Exactly my point. Phd holders are not meant to be desperate job hunters.

Have you considers if the Fashola lady is lying? Some surnames are more prone to lies than others.

Gbawe: Lame. When are you going to tell us about your unique and detailed ideas related to business efficacy and wealth creation? *Yawn*. Someone needs to create a sport related to bragging emptily. I am sure you guys will clear all categories with gold medals.

I will tell you when you climb down from your high horse. You want me to teach you, a total stranger with sinister intentions business tricks in an online forum, how mentally lazy can one get?

eggheaders: Alaba boy why not take your trade to main market and get cut down in your prime like they have done to numerous others. bring on your finding boy.

I have two shops at main market with about 5 boys. It comes by nature, we dont graduate with MBA to do this.

Gbawe: What an illiterate. You are all innately great business men. Not so? Why don't you share some of your ideas about wealth creation with us? Why is that so difficult for you and others to do?

Or is that all you losers are indoctrinated to only brag emptily with the achivement of others? I.e many worthless bums taught to point at "Chisco" et al in a conspiracy of deceiving yourselves and others about "business superiority".

Mumu, it is not about list of achievers. Every ethnic group has them. Prove you are individually great. Not difficult to do really if you genuinely possess the mind. Yet we know you are an empty braggart and a big loser hanging on to the tailcoat of those who are successful from your ethnic group. Pathetic. This clannishness and 'herded' tribal outlook is what is killing cretins like you.

If not for tribal and ethnic sentiments, If not for the fear of the Igboman then Chisco, Ekene, Young and Ifesinachi should have teamed up to buy and operate our railways, and I tell you they will make a monumental success out of it with their combined experience of freighting and haulage business over 30 years. But what is happening today?

eggheaders: even after tipping the uzo boys in onitsha they still wanna rob my belongings. the same way the owner of classic motors was gunned down at ABS junction last week. the omoluabi hungry guys aint killing no one. and not wielding guns like the pi a azu guys and the numerous jobless vigilante and hungry massob guys.

Are you trying to regionalize crime? Because I will surprise you now with what I will unearth today alone. Anyway, stick to the topic and dont run.

Gbawe: Are you another Alaba hustler fancying himself a Richard Branson or do you have anything to teach us? Remember that you and yours made the boast not me. Now, we only ask you to validate your braggadocio. Simple !!! Teacher, teach us something please. We are waiting.

OK, I will teach you. Dress humble and meet me at Alaba so I can fit you up in one of my shops to learn business with the rest of my little boys, some of them without school cert? Deal?

Ola Johnson: You are anuofia. When did you come to town? Ibadan is great centre of learning. It houses the premier university; the first olympic sized stadium in Africa; the first TV station in Africa; the first skyscrapper in Nigeria: cocoa house.

I get am before no bi property o

Ola Johnson: The "Jews" here are bereft of what will befall them should Nigeria breaks up. All their business enterprises outside the SE will quickly be nationalized. Unu a magi inhe unu ne ku. Ndo unu.

Sure, it happened before, with over 3 million dead, remind me who is buying more outside his home now. That is growth!

Let me reassure you, if it happens again, be sure that we will still be back to buy up more after more are seized, ask camerounians, Ghana and Ivory coast. We dont talk too much, we spread like oil.
