Prof Corruption: It's hitting you real hard. See this one:

IBB also described Chief Awolowo as "the main issue in Nigeria politics, you are either for or against him."
Who gives the fck about Ojukwu, Zik and your clueless racist bitter senile old English professor?

tyson55: @All,
Can someone help me out on this,>>>>>>>

Did Awolowo really died by commiting suicide? If yes, why did he choose to die this way? Any particular reason for this?
1)Guilty concience
2)His hausa allies refused him presidency
3)nemesis

Prof Corruption: The only Nigerian with GCFR without being a president. The man whose picture is on the currency you spend.
The man who won civil war for Nigeria without borrowing a kobo. The man who formulated the policies that brought Biafra to her knees.
The man who built the first TV station in Africa, the first social security system in Africa.
The man who conceptualize the institution known as OAU today.
A man who built industrial estates in Western Nigeria. A man who introduced the very first free education policy in Nigeria.


A man who was a family man to the call. He had just one wife! a faithful husband, an astute organiser, a political wizard, a fearless sage,
intelligence personified, the real fear of Igbo. A man who even in death remains the Nigerian issue. A man who came, saw and conquered.

Awolowo rest in peace.

Zik = University of Nigeria in Nsukka.

Prof Corruption: Let the thread continues! The old racist bitter English professor who should be working to unite the nation but has found it a worthwhile effort to pull it apart is responsible for whatever happens to Igbo lot.
what is there to unite in a mistake?
1)the flight took off without fuel
2)a cockpit cleaner started the engine and flew off from the airport
3)and now we have lost direction
4)there is nobody in the plane who knows how to fly a plane
5)we are nosediving into the atlantic ocean
6)the country will definitely crash

Achebe should hasten to do anything possible to tear apart this mistake called Nigeria. Only thieves who are in government and are benefitting from this problem will support a united Nigeria at these terms. Please help us Achebe!

Nebeuwa: Ummm the mere fact that Chief Obafemi Awolowo said such words is an indictment on his actions during the war.

People can defend him all they want, but his words have been etched in stone.
I am only happy the fool lost it all and comitted suicide in the end. He ended up in the dustbin of history.
Politics › Re: Awolowo: Babatope Tackles Achebe by vanbonattel: 8:31pm On Oct 06, 2012
Dede1: I shall not make you wiser even if obliged to do so. The crappy Egbé Ọmọ Odùduwà was formed in 1945 in London. Awolowo could not open one-room office in Ibadan after two years he returned to Southern Protectorate in 1947 talk less establishing a college, agbaya.
I really wonder what awolowo did to worth the hype on his hopeless image, apart from starving innocent children to death, i dont know of any serious achievement which awolowo did in his life.

Prof Corruption: You don't get it. Everyone can not be a writer. Why is Achebe not a surgeon?
You choose a profession for whatever reasons. But we judge you based on your output. Achebe output is disppointing, shameful and nothing to write home about.

Achebe is nothing more than David Beckham in football. He was over hyped by the British but ended up not winning a single worthwhile award.
Why? Because the world saw through the propaganda. Achebe is thoroughly and completely over hyped.
David Beckham is still the golden boy of world football, the guy only need to turn up and sit on the bench to pull a full stadium. Achebe is the golden man of ancient african historical writings, that is how its going to be till the end of the world.

If it were in saner climes, Awolowo should be dug up, flogged, burnt again his dirty bones used to beat obj to death

This child was born 13 years ago. Go and do your research well , before coming to join conversation with adults here. Did Awolowo ever write anything ? Laugh of the day grin grin grin
Which stewpid poem did the fool write?

Prof Corruption: where do you think this statement is taken from " Nigeria is just a mere geographical expression" ?
Google is your friend

Awolowo was a lawyer and got to the pinnacle (SAN) of his profession before he passed away.
And the fool cheated and betrayed people to protect a mere geographical expression?
Politics › Re: Achebe’s Biafra Memoir Stirs Controversy by vanbonattel: 8:05pm On Oct 06, 2012
Prof Corruption: I know it's really painful to realise afterall that someone sees the hype as nothing more than what it is, a trash. If "clowning" fetches more fame, more money than your so called copy and paste literary works, what else is there again? It's only an Efulefu that calls singing clowning.

Nwachukwu name was also apt to explain that the war wasn't a joke on the Nigerian side as well.
Has your father ever written a trash book? illiterate dundy

Prof Corruption: Nonsense. So because someone is known in US, the fellow is now important? Stop deceiving yourselves

All I need to translate a book to several languages is to assemble language experts and provide the money.
simple. It's all about money, nothing more.

As for the book selling 10m copies? Who gives a fck? Jennifer Lopez On the Dance Floor, a track of less than 6 minutes sold more than that trash based on superstitious Okonkwo. Where is he today? He is in Brown university-a pseudo Ivy league. He is not teaching at the so called best university in the world-Harvard. As I type illustrious Yoruba sons are teaching in Harvard in same field of literature. To cap it all, why has he not won a Nobel to really convince the world that he's not over hyped? Somebody here in Nigeria won it in 1986, a lot more than twenty years ago!

I as a person see nothing in the Things Fall Apart trash. It was a badly written book. He merely exposed the cliches and proverbs of Igbo and not a superb works of genius in the class of Animal Farm et al. No wonder, nothing to write home about him after that. You can't sustain intelligence on copy and paste.


I personally see him as somebody because of his criticism of Conrad. Read Conrad: Image of Africa. That's the only thing worth while from Achebe. The rest are over hyped trash recycled to deceive the world. Una neva jam.
DID AWOLOWO EVER WRITE ANYTHING, EVEN IF ITS A POEM?

ballabriggs: Rate this brain

He sounds absolutely f00lish.

Firstly, it is not the duty of a low life like you to tell me in what way I should contribute to the country. There are numerous problems and there are many ways I can contribute and in my own way I contribute in the areas and in the manner I deem fit. I don't need a chav to tell me where to contribute.

Secondly, I am not under any obligation to tell a scum like you how I contribute to Nigeria. So quit probing me on what I do to help out.

Lastly, it is simply f00lish to think one has to be in the country before he helps in developing the country. I do not expect your tiny brain to understand this.
Thank you, I just spooked you to see how you rate on the bitter-o-meter, you scored an upper credit. congrats wink

Aigbofa: Let us assume you are right. Is it tribalism that makes politics the most lucrative business in Nigeria? The people who are robbing you blind does not care about tribe, ask Farouk Lawan.
Yes, it also keeps us tied up in bondage of bitterness, hatred, mutual mistrust and perpetual poverty.

Yes, too fast. Do you know how short it is for a young igbo boy to hit his first millions?
industrious, they can invent and manufacture anything. I know an igbo boy that built up to 4 houses of 8 flats with trade in used empty cartons only, talk of creating your own industrial ideas, oh! if only NEPA will give us stable electricity, watch how we can enjoy this country.

omosexy1: @Coogar, I would love you to answer these questions

Where exactly in Nigeria do you feel there is insecurity that is keeping you away from developing the country?

Where do you currently reside?
Dont mind them with their lame excuses, instead of admitting he has no money to visit or that his papers are incomplete

coogar: how do i develop it when there's no safety? do i look like osama bin kunle to you? asking any nigerian to come home and develop the country is a suicide mission! the country must first purge itself from the street urchins and the career criminals running amok in the country! my life has no duplicate so nigeria can fück herself for all i care!
You are a big fat fuul!
so because of insecurity you will stay away from you home and throw stones from the outside. Why not tune off completely and pretend you are no longer a Nigerian?

ballabriggs: Okay I finish work in the evening, after a drink with my mates at the pub, I return home to relax and read news about my country.

What do I see online?

Four young boys butchered and burnt to death by their fellow citizens on the allegation of robbery. What kind of barbaric way of life is that for goodness sake? And you tell me not to be bitter about the way things are?

A country where the Justice system seems non-existent and people take it upon themselves to murder their fellow citizens on the allegation of robbery.

What do you call such nonsense which is a daily occurrence in most parts of the country?
You were obviously very drunk.
If not you would nave bundled you dirty azz down here on seeing such news and conducted a teaching in some schools in your local government on the need to avoid violence, instead you stay online and bark like a mad dog and behave holier than thou. Do we even know if you kill others over there before going to drink in your frigging pub?
Politics › Re: Biafra......a War Of Ideology Or Of Territorial Control? by vanbonattel: 11:26pm On Oct 05, 2012
[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Thanks. I agree that there existed a wide and deep web of interconnect between top ranking Igbos, military and civilians, and thise who carried out the coup.

I dont know what time span and production hours it takes from ideation to design to prototyping, proofing and then going into production...in order to mint the Biafran currency, weave the Biafran insignia on the uniform and hats of the soldiers as well the flags, and there were two flag designs - 1 for Biafraland, 2 for posessions of Biafra Nation. So taking all these minute details into account and laying it over the timeline between when Ojukwu declared Biafra and when the currency were already in circulation and uniforms and flags on the ground it would seem there was too short a time to have had all these materials ready if the two chronologies were in synch.

Again, I dont know how long ut takes to produce these thkngs.....but my suspicion is that Biafra had been declared way back when Balewa was PM. The coup and elimination of those people were systemic with the plot for a Biafraland.

Another minute note is what happened when Ojukwu was commanding officer in Kano. Soon as he got message that the Kaduna leg of the coup was complete Ojukwu made attempt without federal authority and approval to truck money out of the central bank there.

A coup is in session, what does a commanding officer need to get in the central bank for?[/quote]Of course I will not blame you, you are like the rest of them Nigerians.
You fail to realize how fast and intelligently the average igbo mind works, all those things you mentioned were possible because we were free to think and do things without the bitterness and wickedness of the yoruba and hausa. I challenge you guys to leave this nation in the hands of 20 intelligent igbo guys and ladies for 20 years, this land will be better than the USA!!!
