LionDeLeo:
What is wrong with this chinua achebe sef?

So you mean igbo love others and they are hated in return?

Love is the only currency for love.

Even nairaland alone is a clear example. Check every ethnic related thread and see the "love" igbos are dishing out.

PearlStreet:
Igbos are their own worst enemies. Forget the crap the bitter old toad is saying.

Igbos that hire Hausa and Yoruba mopol to guard them when they're going to visit their fathers compounds in the East. You'll hear stuff like "I don't want an Mbaise man holding a gun near me."

ApexPredator:
We don't give a fck how you feel about Chinua Achebe, the father of modern African literature. The man was an icon, who is looked up to by hundreds of million across the globe and brought great pride to Africa and his people. What he said is no different from what former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger said about Igbos and Nigeria.
“the wandering Jews of West Africa-gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the federation”
I guess Henry Kissinger is chest-beating on our behalf.

If you dont give a fck why is Achebe whinning?

ApexPredator:

When the truth is too much, deny and deflect. I got more from where that came from.


Chinua Achebe is by the right hand of the Most High and he has been for the past 4yrs. He wrote this piece 5yrs ago . But you know how you Igbo obsessed cretins are on the internet.

That loser was just another bigoted, tribalistic, empty, shallow, ignorant and chest beating clown and went to his grave still bitter, angry and crying for nothing.

Says who? you? That's very presumptuous, my dear.

Considering the lies and propaganda that he perpetuated during the war, my conjecture is that he 's weeping and gnashing his lying back-teeth

in the hottest part of hell with that orangutan-lookalike, hollow chest-beating, ruthless, ex-biafran warlord for company.

ApexPredator:

ChimaAgbalajob:
I know a lot of Nigerians will try to lie that they have no resentment against the Igbo just as part of the self denial problem of Nigeria.

Achebe was a great man of words and i thank God men like him put in writing the problems with Nigeria.

It is left for us to solve them or allow Nigeria to continue drifting while we play ostrich that the problem does not exist.

From the time Achebe wrote those words to today, thousands of Nigerians have perished in Libya and inside Nigeria simply because we chose to deny than tackle the problems. Thousands more will still die as Nigeria continues to be an uninhabitable space for its people.

ImperialYoruba:
You would think from Achebe's whining that the Igbo of Aguleri love the Igbo of Abriba or that the Igbo of Ngwa love the Igbo of Isuoma.

The Archdiocese of Mbaise has refused to be led by an Archbishop whose origin is Awka and said they will decamp from Catholicism into other denomination of Christianity if their wish for an Mbaise son is not met.

So much for Achebe's Catholic Igbos and love of kin!

Crap!

guterMann:
Great words from a great man.

Achebe was fearless and truthful no matter whose ox is gored .

Go and read his timeless book,The trouble with Nigeria, it is a prophetic book.

Igbos are industrious and enterprising,they do these at a frenetic pace that other ethnic nationalities find difficult to keep up with.

Because, they can not compete, he is then hated for being 'arrogant','mundane','noisy and proud.

ENVY IS THE PRICE EXCELLENCE HAS TO PAY.

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN

Talking what you do not know. The issue in Mbaise is that the procedure was not followed.

ImperialYoruba:


Why did he write such junk on the eve of his departure? It looks like a confession. He couldnt carry the burden in his heart to the grave and had to offload. Nobody hated him, he hated himself.

knowledgeable:


Do Yorubas understand the magnitude of their hateful incline toward the Igbos, and what that hate can do to them as well?. As they are in the for front of every conspiracy to destroy the Igbos, Igbos have not being involved in such numerous conspiracies like the Yorubas in other to harm/destroy them, not even once. They think the table may never turn against them in this wicked world?.

ApexPredator:


If Chinua Achebe one of Africa's most accomplished and proudest son is a loser, I wonder what are you? Years after his death he is still being honoured by google and world-class publications who could careless about your inconsequential feelings about him. Say it with me, THE FATHER OF MODERN AFRICAN LITERATURE.
