Q: Why are the yoruba's denying fighting the war and same time saying they fight the war? A: it is genetic in them not to be realistic. how can you fight a war and win and deny fighting when the war crimes you commit came to light. how else do you win. Q: IS the reason Zik refuse working with Awo? A: Awo/yorubas has made it difficult for people to trust them. what if zik worked with Awo and they fail, don't you see Awo distancing himself from Zik and swear never worked with Zik. |

anyway i like the way igbo elites keep mute of the whole situation. it show maturity and focus. when you said a person is mad, and he go on taking off his cloths and screaming breaking things in the name of fighting you, then the initial assertion is right that guy is mad. the north are not denying fighting the war nor commiting war crimes. they accepts it and tell you the reason is to keep the nation intact. 1 Like |

It's a pity that with all the facts put forward here? Igbo folk still retort to throwing mud and insult. It had been revealed the efforts of Awo to threat even his enemies fairly as best he could where he should have avenged their crimes against him. It seems as thou Zik,Achebe et all where afraid and very careful to align with Awolowo a man more intelligent than them for fear of an outright Yoruba domination. The improvements Awo influenced in the west are phenomenal and show a man dedicated to the advancement of Yoruba tribe in his care, if given the chance he might have done same for Nigeria. This piece together with achebe's further confirm the genius and legend of the great AWO of Africa, and reveals achebe to be a petite shameless poet trying to taint the image of a great man. I really paid attention when I saw my grandfathers name in the first phrase was gearing for war if someone slings mud at he family name. |

Asari Dokubo called him a Devil ! And now Achebe calls him a war criminal. Address the issue on ground and stop beating around the bush. |

bushwailo: what issue. Igbo people have benefitted from the Yoruba indifference and you all still spit in our faces. Ungrateful cowardly bunch. |

I don't think anyone has issues with Yorubas , they have issues with Awolowo That can't be too hard |

bushwailo: When was Asari Dokubo born? So that criminal element is now your own opinion leader? I can now understand how your brain is compactmentalized. No need to argue with you. 1 Like |

bushwailo: I don't think anyone has issues with Yorubas , they have issues with Awolowo And the issues against Awolowo were unfounded. The author of this piece showed that clearly with facts well researched. Ojukwu and Zik didn't lose a dime of their investments under the jurisdiction of Awolowo. Those are facts. Awolowo had his chance to decimate Zik and ruin him for good but he chose to play fair. These are also facts. All you igbos do is to rain insults on anyone who comes with superior arguments and facts. Even when it was Osuji, an igbo historian who first disproved Achebe's sentiments years ago, his hardened kinsmen disowned him. Even when it has been proven that the Igbos were beaten in their game to usurp authority over everyone in Nigeria in the years following independence, you would still not be ready to rid yourselves on anger and heart attacks. Na wa for this people o!!!!!!! |
Re: Re: We Remember Differently By S. Kadiri by bushwailo: 11:20am On Dec 13, 2012 |
^^^^ You're just like Kadiri. What caused all this noise is that Achebe claimed that Awo advocated the use of starvation as war strategy. Which lead to the death of millions of non-combatant women and children. Something which Adichie cited. This was never about the 20 pounds policy or impoverishment after the war. As far as i am concerned Igbos have recovered from that long ago. But those innocent lost lives will never be recovered. |
