You all should not waste your energy on this publication. The so called Ozodi's mother is from Osun state in the family of late Pa Oluwole Oladimeji. His mother Titi was an illagitimate wife of De Osuji. The marriage ended in 1965 as De Osuji was not sure if Ozodi was realy his child because he was back in Owerri when Titi gave birth to Ozodi in Lagos. It is the truth for those who don't know. Pa OsUji is from my village. Ozodi's paternity is yet to be established 8 Likes |

berem: nna ike gwuru! All these noise making and polluting my bandwidth with unnecessary attacks on Chinua Achebe is uncalled for. The man had written his book.no matter what anyone says here,that book is a must read.I don't know why some people are killing themselves over Biafra! At the mention of Biafra,some people become restless and begin to wag tongues.I think the best thing is for those that haven't read the book to read it first before condemning it. I've read the book and its a veiled attack on the Yorubas, Achebe's hatred and envy of the tribe was very evident in the book. My questions for you are; 1. Have u read it? 2. If yes: what did you deduce from it? 3. If no: what the phock is your business on this thread? |

Why are the igbos on this thread on the defensive? Why are they attacking the messenger rather than proving him wrong? Apart from Andrew Uweh none of them have been able to put up an intellectual effort to defend Achebe's work, I'm very dissapointed. 2 Likes |

I can't help but laugh at the kind of tactics employed to tarnish the image of this Osuji guy I have learnt from all the comments above that Osuji understand the psychology of his fellow ibo brother and this has been demonstrated here already with the way and manner they write. |

afam4eva: It's the truth my brother we are from the same village. Just verify this. De Osuji has an Igbo wife. Titi has another child a girl both Ozodi and Chika are living in the US. Madan Titi is late, she was buried in Osun state. Igbo people said that when a diety becomes so stubbon and proud, you show him the tree he was calved out from. |

No wonder why the guy reasons though his rear orifice. I've always known that anytime anyone only sees the problems of his so called tribesmen alone, while turning blind eye to problems of others, it usually stems from issues of corrupted, questionable, or malcontent roots.

First of all, I don't think anyone who hasn't read this book has the moral justification to comment on it. Read the book and make up ur own mind on where an where not to take serious. However, let no one berate Achebe based on what others have ascribed to him, especially when he hasn't ascribed same to himself. I'm referring to comments that put him down as a historian. He never claimed to be a historian. I don't think he expects history lessons to be taught based on "There was a country". He clearly stated that they were his memoirs. A purely personal thing based on perceived private experience and opinion of his. What saddens me is that a lot of us, in a frantic bid to "score points for our respective tribes" have overlooked one serious issue Osuji raised: the inherent victimist disposition a lot of Africans and black people in general have. Until we outgrow it, we will not know progress. 2 Likes |
