django1: lol @ he didn't involved himself directly. That bigoted and mean spirited old man involved himself in the most profound and pronounced way than any nigerian with his hateful book. He single handedly erased the gains we've made, he even poisoned the minds of many generations unborn who are destined to read that hate and bigotry book. The man did too much damage because of hate and personal bitterness. 1 Like |

django1:why are here? is it not because of Achebe's memoir where he called out awo for the murderer he is. We can't compare Soyinka and Achebe. Igbos love soyinka to death. its about the rogue awo. that's why your people don't want us to pay our last respects to a world hero. 4 Likes |

bolaino: I want to make something clear to everyone, this topic has nothing to do with tribalism, I love my igbo folks, I have so much love and respect for the igbo culture and tradition, and I didn't intend creating this topic to insult the igbo people, IGBO KWENU!!!, but the truth is always the truth, achebe was a tribalist and a bigot, and like Garri republic nairalanders will ask, how has the life and death of achebe affected the price of garri in the market? and the only people in the entire world that thinks he's a bigot are YORUBA. says alot about you lot. now use your cerebral and explain how a man whose tribalistic to your people as una claim gave his daughter to one of your people. also explain why the same man is bestfriend to soyinka till the point they both see eachother as brother if he hates una that much. we know your intention of this thread, it's the same intention most of your people have been doing for awhile now. lmfao @ the amount of strength some people are using to try and destroy a mans reputation while at the same time, no matter how loud they get, the man's reputation still stays intact. like many are mentioning the entire WORLD are in tears about his death. the entire AFRICA are in tears about his death. the entire NIGERIAN, excluding Yoruba and that one fulani monkey that rear his head once in a while making no sense, are in tears about his death. now tell us why anyone should care if some irrelevant populace see nothing good from the man. he's work speak for itself, noone in your entire region are commending the kind of respect chinua achebe is commending from the world right now and if not for una tribalism and desperate need to cry foul because the man spoke the truth about what una tribalistic demigod did then una wont be the childish adult trying desperately to ruin his reputation and failing woefully might i add. Try another route cause noone is buying what you people are selling. 16 Likes |

One_Naira: What could he do about whom his daughter wanted to marry? WHat could Chief CC Onoh do to stop his friend Ojuku from molesting Biancar? He was friends with Soyinka but tried his best to denigrate the Nobel that Soyinka got Ashebe was a bitter man his bitterness ended his life. Maybe the senile cripple would have lived a more peaceful life if he rid himself of tribalism 7 Likes |

dayokanu:Can we now start comparing George Orwell or William Shakespear with Winston Churchill? Achebe is renowned as a prolific writer and a teacher, while Mandela is a professional politician. If you can't tell the difference in the life parts of Achebe and Mandela, then your issues is not about the topic in discussion, its something you had to sort out yourself in a different platform and not here. You cannot compare a salt to our red palm oil, even though they both compliment each other and together they make a delicious meal. Achebe and Mandela are both African finest icons, though in different spheres of life, no wonder they both share personal friendship. Something you bereft of. 11 Likes |

Mr. Globe:It seems you don't know what I mean by compare, its not an abusing contest between chinua and wole, but wrt what the @op said I.e the benefit/impart any of the two men had on the people. Let's face it, awolowo's face will always be on the 100 naira note, and its there for a reason. The memoir did indeed reveal a lot about achebe as an unforgiving man, he tells the truth or not. Arguing with you about the correctness of achebes "impression" of awolowo is pointless, but what we know is that the man does not really like awolowo and "his yoruba" people. Sefini. 5 Likes |

[size=20pt]How Awolowo invented Tribalism and introduced Nepotism into Nigerian Politics[/size] http://www.dawodu.net/igho.htm That the NCNC later became to be perceived as an ‘Igbo’ party was not entirely the design of Igbo political elites, but rather the machinations of some powerful Yoruba nationalists who did not cherish the notion of an Igbo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, becoming the premier of Western Nigeria. 7 Likes |

dayokanu: see this 1diot. in Igbo culture, you need your father's permission before you marry someone. Achebe family is even more tight-knit on all igbo culture to the core. you didn't have to show your bloody famous stupid1ty once again. Even nollywood teaches you this sh1t. ironically other than you and probably other bigots like yourself trying desperately to make unaself relevant, noone has ever accused the man of degrading, insulting or demeaning soyinka or his nobel prize. even soyinka we speak of never accused him of such and even the same man came out and told the world that was his brother that died like i said, try another route, ain't noone buying what u people are selling. try again btw: why don't you take your own advice. someone mentioned you are in your late 40s yet you still remain a brainless tribalistic buffoon that act childish in every of his post at this your damn age. by the time, you reach his age that is if God even grant you that wish,only he knows want you'll become. one thing for sure, your life won't amount to half of what achebe did in his early 20's talkless his entire life. and we all know who the world would deem everythinh you accuse him of, if the competition is between you and him. lastly stop wasting my time and focus in trying to change the entire perspective every f2king body excluding his people have about awolowo and his well known tribalism. I have better things to with my time than arguing/talking to a 40 something year old man that refuse to grow the f2k up. 6 Likes |

I am not going to trade words with the bigots in this thread but Igbos have said it like always free from bigotry, deceit, politics or propaganda. We love Soyinka and we can not pull him down. Its common knowledge he formed the first ever cult in the country but we wont use that to judge him, he has shown time without number that he is a nationalist. Yorubas should not insult the achievement of a man that wrote about a traitor that caused a whole race to develope phobia for heroism, develope slave mentality and specialise in deceit and bigotry. Its not a good trait. It can carry u to an extent for a while but others will definitely discover how u are. The man told the story of a man that could be likened to Rev. King and other doomsday pastors that had the ability to control a large number of people and can make these peoplecommit murder, sexual abominations or even suicides while believing they were promoting humanity. Achebe only tried to expose him to the outside world for what he was, not that we never knew he was like that in Nigeria. I think the Yorubas actually owe the man a favour for liberating them from this hypnotic spell cast on them by Awo that makes him their god. They may not know it, but history has a way of exposing people. With time more evidence will come out to further douse the spell and make them more receptive to reasoning with other tribes that mean well for them. I dont blame anybody for defending this trickster called Awo, he did his homework and his spell is still potent. But, with time, the spell will loose its power. I am sure of that. 5 Likes |
