Now apparently you know me. Unlike you, I don't partake in tribalism, this was honestly the first time I've heard of this book, which I refuse to Google to even read, life's too such to spend it hating tribes. You're not making your Yoruba brothers look good, but unlike you, I won't hold it against them, I'll hold it against you & those who chose hatred as a path.

This your Doctor, who you didn't waste time to applaud when you believed the words were his, if he really wanted to be serious, he could press charges on defamation of character and theft identity, why hasn't he? You do know there are cyber forensic specialists that can easily check his claims? The right papers could be given for facebook to see his log-ins & activity, he can use this to also defend himself. His statement reeks of delayed damage control. He appears to have shot himself in the foot. If this is honestly an attempt at the defamation of his character, the thruth will be revealed. But, I honestly doubt that.

If you choose to be sheep, that's your prerogative. I refuse to be sheep, I'll never condone vile acts or applaud misplaced patriotism, tribalism needs to die, we're Nigerians.

Darling, if unchecked, yibhoe expansionism into the heart of Yoruba Kingdom with vengeance, is a threat to Yoruba culture and existence. That is basically what Dr. Abraham was talking about and I understand. It is not about today, it is about future generations. We all can co-exist peacefully with yibhoes keeping their part of the country, while Yoruba do the same.

You said you are not a sheep, but rather than read his comments with a clear head, to understand where he is coming from. You joined the bandwagon with herd mentality to label his opinions genocidal. He never called for anyone to be killed, he just questioned why yibhoes keep fighting Yoruba for Yoruba land, when they have got theirs. I support what he said and will always do. It was blown out of proportion.

I'm not a sheep. I'm a lion and I eat herbivores. Do you want to remain a sheep, or become a lioness? The choice is yours.

You're d eeediot here. Jealousy wont cause you arrythmia and cardiac arrest in Jesus name. You can never achieve half of what the guy has so accept it as a reality and stop hating.

meccuno:
chaiii!!! Did u actually read the book?? So he paraphrased the xenophobia prejudice? So achebe hates the yolobas on technical grounds?? Education oh!!

Achebe hated Yoruba and he never hid it.

The number of petitioners increases by the second just like nairaland topics

LordExecutioner:


Achebe hated Yoruba and he never hid it.

Chinua Achebe never hated Yorubas, rather it was the other way round.

There's no easy way out for the good doctor. Loosing sleep should be the least of his worries because the walls will surely crumble down on him. A couple of hours ago I signed as the 4082~ petitioner. Am elated 500 more people have signed after me. He should just kiss his career goodbye because he has been burnt!

OBA IS RIGHT. IGBOS ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THE EAST.

tsdarkside:


i condemn it.....are you igbos happy now??........HEAVENS....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dude...I read the book.....and the so called hate speech about awolowo only referred to the 3 million ibos that where killed as a result of awolowos advice on starvation as a weapon of war which awolowo did not deny......if you aren't convinced,read the book and stop this herd mentality.....u are not a cattle rearer

BlackGirlsCode:
I don talk am before that you guys can't touch that doctor. You think America is bush like Nigeria? By the time he turns the law suit around to the people spreading it, una eyes go clear. Yorubas are cunning and smart, never forget that. Forget all your noisemaking.

You don't know the power of an expensive lawyer in America. The man has great connections and has a white wife who may have great connections too.

Before you know it, Igbos will also be known as noisemakers in America. I promise you, this won't be the last time someone dribbles the Igbo tribe on social media. You do the same with a Yoruba, we'll silently decimate you as a collective nation.

Lol.. Did you say great connections and expensive lawyers? You and I know America too well, a country where nothing is FREE. As long as he has money to engage in the legal battle, no wahala. The top law firms in the country won't take his case even IF his wife if blue, white and red. As long as the money is there and you can pay the retainer, no wahala. Not ALL top law firms and their attorney have won cases. Like I said before, this isn't a serious case and thus, I expected an apology and him seek way to amend this, and this dies down. But if he doesn't go about it the peaceful way to calm down nerves and this spills beyond control, he should prepare well for his lawsuit. Shey, isn't it in America we are in? America where a U.S. Judge will subpoena FB for records? America where the media will blow it beyond ridicule... Haha, na America we dey so..

lol..............I hear ya.

Apologize for wetin, the hacker?

udokpuenyi:

Lol The man was full of hate. He died hating

Anaskie:
The man himself is denying it.

Yet to think that some tribal bigots were praising him for his comments.

I wonder why Nairaland is filled with so much hate

Hate against who ?
nobody has a monopoly over negative behaviour.
Have you tuned in to radio Biafra lately ?
You haven't read rants against other non-igbo tribes on Facebook ?

Your question should be why is naira land filled with so much HYPOCRISY.

babyosisi:

Look at this hateful hag calling others eddiot. You say worst things daily here, you are even worst than those animals in SA. Hypocrites like you always play the victim card when paid back with your own coin. I pity your husband and children, they have got a wicked soul as a mother. Pathetic.

udokpuenyi:

Chinua Achebe even gave his second daughter to yoruba man in marriage.

Let that derailer keep deceiving himself

Bro, Its surprising that they are playing the victim card. Log on to radio biafra and you will hear different hate words directed to Yorubas/Hausas while some Ibos call in from the East and everywhere to hail the man Nnamdi Kanu of doing a good job. See them writing petition when served back with the same insult, I hate hypocrites.

BlackGirlsCode:


I doubt sane Igbos even listen to radio Biafra rants.

I also doubt sane Odua people took Ariyo seriously.

You and I know this is NOT a hacker... If it was, he would have filed a civil complaint and reported fraud to FB. Such a serious allegation is nothing to play with.

Obviously it's not a lie, he made those statement. I am not hacker but even basic IT knowledge will trace back his IP to his ISP who will provide his activity log... Abegi jare, let us leave the unseen hackers alone. This is no hack job.

If unchecked? It's thinking like this that leads to greater chaos. The Yorubas are not the sole tribe that made Lagos into a great city, it was all tribes involved. You sound like the oyinbos in the past who applauded segregation with the usual excuse that God separated the continents, so they should be no mixing. Of course, they forgot that they went into our continent in the first place and then stole people to work on their cotton farms for free, but that's another story.

It's your kind of thinking of tribalistic interests and securities that become leaps into grandiose displays of hatred. Little movements eventually become irreversible canyons...You're merely a lion, who's misguided hatred has turned him into sheep, and you're now oblivious to your own folly. Your words time & time again have shown how you feel about Igbos. It truly is a shame that they're Nigerians, who would allow the irrational fear & hatred for other tribes to consume them wholly.

I love this "we" statement that toothless bulldogz like using behind a faceless forumz......."We" will deal with SouthAfrican coyies, "We" will boycott SouthAfrican bizes, "We" will deal with Igbos, "We" will do this & do that All na wash bro........

LordExecutioner:


Did you support Achebe when he wrote his xenophobic book 'there was a country'; yes or no?

Pally, these kind of arguments will take us no where. Achebe's book never called for the killing of anybody. I read that book and even have a copy just like other books.

This man's utterances is wrong and should be condemned. I however don't see what losing his job will achieve other than making his hatred for my tribe more intense. Apart from that, his American wife and daughter will forever hate Ibos and the cycle will never end. I believe he just learnt his lessons. This will go a serve as a deterrant to anybody - Ibo, Hausa, Yoruba - to watch his/her utterances on social media and elsewhere.

Thank you.

As far as I'm concerned it's a hacker. You want to drag him to court for what a hacker did, bring it on

I'm in IT dear. Don't tell me stories. You wonder why Anonymous is still anonymous?

Enough has been said against IGBO, its high time you find your level to Onitsha and develop it to a little shiny city a beg. Your crime is that you dominate areas you find yourself. Igbo you no longer need a soothsayer to tell you how you are hated in your own home, bikonu Onye owula laa OSHA, Enugu, Aba Na Owerri ka anyi dozie ya.
