Aigbofa: I usually don't engage re.tards.

It will be a major miracle to find something more ret.arded than you.

hypeman: What has Achebe done for Igbo people??

Please, I need a list..

Cheers..

Pasting Igbo history on the world map and choking the story down your throat!
Giving Igbos a sense of belief in their past
Winning prices for literature, paving way for Chimamanda
Rejecting the bribe from obj, shaming the shameless fuul

hypeman: Which of his "so many books" is he known for??

Achebe reached his prime with "Things Fall Apart."

Have you read "Arrow of God"?
Richer than things fall apart if I am to say.

hypeman: I'm not a writer - I'm a social critic...

I doubt he'll continue to rise...He has been stagnant since "Things Fall Apart" and he hasn't been able to replicate the same book...

Anyway, I applaud him regardless...

First, as a social critic, you are terribly incompetent.

Secondly, a bamboo tree can be stagnant for years and still grow very tall in a short while, Achebe has so many books, and will continue to churn out more.

Prof Corruption: To cut a long story short, Achebe's nomination is nothing more than being nominated by a local newspaper like Tribune or Sunday vanguard . Kudos to him for achieving that. The nomination has nothing to do with validity or otherwise of assertions of Mr. Achebe in his controversial and much criticized book.

I am out.

Have you ever been nominated by even an association of MAD people? Na jealousy go kill you?

You are out? Go ahead, jump into the lagoon!

hypeman: I read the topic - and my line of argument has been consistent...

I'm arguing against IKengawo's assertion that Achebe is a Nigerian/African icon...

Go back and read my argument again...

If you have read his book, and he has not read yours, then he is a hero to you.
You can continue to hide behind your finger all you like, but the man will continue to rise in his reputation everyday.

hypeman: Did I claim I was superior to Achebe?? And how I'm being arrogant and disrespectful??

My only crime here is critiquing Achebe and telling it how it is... Tired of Africans celebrating overrated people who didn't contribute anything to the progress and upliftment of the continent and race... Like I said earlier, Achebe has done well for himself - however, he isn't a Nigerian/African hero, period..

You boasted you were better than Achebe when he was your age?

hypeman: Where's the bigotry in telling it how it is?? I'm a realist and I don't sugarcoat crap!! I already applauded Achebe for making himself and those who share his biafracentric views proud - however, it should end there... The standard for African/black/Nigerian hero(es) is too high for Achebe - he needs to retrace his steps and apologise for dividing a divided country further before he can be considered a Nigerian hero...

If W.E.B Dubois(before his demise) could apologise to Marcus Gavey, then Achebe shouldn't have a problem apologising to Nigerians, period...

PS: This isn't about me...

Sorry, but maybe you failed to read the topic?
Its about Achebe being recognized by another international body for his efforts at writing and not about his heroism. Maybe you need to sleep and wake up to join us here?

hypeman: However, I've achieved more right now than Achebe did when he was at my age.. So, you can't judge now, can you??

Wait till I get to his age to judge that...

Who are you? How many bookers, IoS have you won?
At your young age you are displaying this type of arrogant, disrespectful stupidity and you hope to become anything better than a giggolo in this your life?

hypeman: That's basically because most of you are borderline ret.arded...

The book probably contributed to the low IQ among Nigerians...

Most especially you.

hypeman: This isn't about me, don't derail the thread, brah..

Thats where you are getting it wrong, its about you now, and your thick brain which cannot think through your bigotry to praise a man for achieving what you will never ever achieve in three lifetimes.

hypeman: I've read his best book, "Things Falls Apart" - and the only thing I took out of it was that a superior culture(European culture) swallowed up an African culture...

That definitely isn't my type of book because it shattered the pride I had in African culture(s) and how the culture(s) could stand side by side with other cultures around the world...

So, Achebe is guilty of peddling low self-esteem among Africans...

Yes, and the same low esteem has been following you around. Most of us that read the book found explanations to the riddles about our past, and went out and conquered our fear of the white man, and you know what, WE WON!

hypeman: Is Achebe the greatest writer out of Africa?? - Hell NO!!

The man is overrated!!

You can never hope to eat in the same place Achebe defeacates!

hypeman: Is Achebe the greatest writer out of Africa?? - Hell NO!!

The man is overrated!!

Which of your townsman has won even biscuit in the primary school by writing? You are permanently underrated.

hypeman: No name calling - I just want to know why Achebe should be celebrated by Nigerians and Africans in general...

Andre_Uweh, can you take Ezeagu's place??...

Because he thinkered some little sense into your head, via his wise sayings in his books.

Posman: IM INDIFFERENT BOUT WHO TB JOSHUA REPRESENTS OR WHO HE DOESNT BUT PPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE WARNS PPLE AHEAD OF DISASTERS TO PRAY BUT PPLE DONT THAT WHY THESE THINGS HAPPEN, I SEE NO REASON WHY HE SHLD TELL/WARN ANYBODY BOUT GOOD THINGS HAPPENING COS THR WONT BE POINT INFORMIN US BEFORE TIME COS ITS A GOOD THING, GOOD THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT AS SURPRISES. IMO I'LD LOVE TO BE ARNED BOUT UPCOMIN BAD THINGS THAN GOOD THING SO THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO PRAY BOUT IT. ALL THE SAME, WE NEED PRAYERS, EVERYBODY DOES!

You dont need to know about good things happening? Then only bad things will be happening to you.

I am here with Sullivan at a pepper soup joint at Nkwo Nike area of Enugu. The man has levelled like six bottles of star and still smiling like a newly wedded man. Anyone who says this man is sick is sick.

seedord247: do you want his number?

Post it!

Doomsday prophet, playing a game of averages on poor illiterate souls. When will you prophesy that Nigeria will get better, or that the world will finally find peace, abi your god dey forbid peace?

Coldfeet: If you are a woman get married first! Put babies on hold! Then go for your studies.


If a man GO for your studies! Get a good job! Then get married with surplus women available to pick from.


If you are a woman approaching 30! And you listen to those telling you to go for your studies be ready to listen to this same people as they castigate you that you were busy chasing money when your mates were getting married!

Anyway which ever is in line with your goal and purpose for your life! Best of luck.

Marry and put babies on hold? You dey maddd? Better not marry at all that keep a poor man waiting for the joys of fatherhood because of your useless career.

Tenants, this will hit us straight between the eyes, expect all manner of rent increase/adjustment/upgrade and tricky manipulation by landlords who will never lose from this policy, ask Fashola what became of his attempt to restrics 2 years advance rents in lagos.

The way I see it.

This man has been fhucking this woman tey tey, his wife found out and raised hell, disgraced the woman by stripping her of her clothes publicly. The woman wants to clear her name and face so she set up another fhucking date and trapped the man, who must think he can continue bleeping her as he used to.

This is just a publicity stunt to clear her image.

Imagine how well fed these blokes are, see their huge chests and hefty biceps.
These kind of guys will give the enemy army nightmares, I need to print this picture and hang in my room.

Super1759: boxing shouldn't be called a game, it is a fight.. I hate boxing

And you are here looking at the fights, now run away!

joeyfire: We give these creeps something to live for.this thread was started by a yoruba claiming to be an igbo man just to get our attention

They got what they deserved, where are they at! Yoruba cowards

Abagworo: At the end of the day what matters is our state today. We are the most traveled. Our men(including or Akwa-Cross brothers) are by far the most handsome. Our women(including our Akwa-Cross sisters) are by far most beautiful and elegant. They cook the most universal dishes in Nigeria free from raw red oil. We live in the best houses, drive the best cars, bang the best gals and are far more Westernized and modern. Keep dwelling in the past and bowing down to your fellow humans.

They see this and cry at night, this pains them the most.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]my friend go and plant some yam..... you always had an enemy. you know what, ibos have a thousand enemies and never fought but one war and in which they went to the front carrying wood sculpted mark IV that gave victory to their opponent.

Yoruba has fought many wars and have not one single enemy. whatt!!![/quote]They have no enemies because they succumb to slaughtering like the fulanis did to them in Kwara. And they are so scared to talk.

Where is bitterend? Running like his coward ancestors, its in the genes.

bittyend: Thank you, sir.

Proud to be from the great Yoruba tribe.

The most shameful coward tribe ever.

bittyend: Ibos are the weakest link in Nigeria, the Judas Ischariot who destroyed the country and sold Southern out to the North.

What do you expect from a tribe that never had an organized structure, anyway?

They are a better fit for planet apes.

Yoruba keeps envying igbos, wishing they were as good as igbos, you go quench for ya hate!
