Oga i dont understand you. You asked for evidence where Israel parroted and boasted of their achievements,i gave a RECORDED youtube link of Isareali Prime Minister himself singing his country's praises .I also mentioned i will give you 15 more if you are willing to see them.
Now instead of you responding in kind,you lifted a blanket statement from Achebe as your evidence of Igbo crude showing? How much more pathetic can one be? What da heck are u up and about?

Israel is a sovereign country with strong US backing. You don't make empty noise when you are very vulnerable

I was about sending you MORE quoted materials from SEASONED IGBO MEN about our own shortcomings as a people, but then your uneasiness brought your weakness out.

Achebe's authoritativeness should even silence all your attempts in disproving me. But you have no regard for seasoned minds.

I am NOT in for banters and childish arguments. Mature Igbo will understand what am saying.

That all you are about have been how to magnify "Igbo weaknesses" already revealed who you are! Youve been busted sir. I challenged you to send the quoted materials. I have mine ready.It is a challenge. In the absence of that,scurry back to your skull mining enclave.You foolishly revealed your identity by yourself. Again,you are the reason Nigeria needs to be disbanded or sold off at OLX. Scurry to your hole and leave Igbos alone.

Guy, you're a suspect too. Forget your long grammar and useless long diatribes, you have no single positive input since I started reading. You could be abagworo too.

BankeSmalls:


Abagworo, go and rest.

First they called me redflame, now its abagworo.... Wow, this is cute and interesting...lol

On quoting Achebe. I'd advise you stop quoting him out of context.

Superlightening/Obi1kenobi. I remember we have had this Achebe argument before. Remember?

Their intent is to spread negativity here. Pulling out all reasons why igbos are weak and disunited. They attack states and yesterday, they attacked zik, Okpara, ojukwu and Ekweremadu.
These people are bitter afonjas.

Obi1kenobi/Superlightening. that your Achebe argument was what gave you away.
We have had that argument before.

I had also noticed your Obi1kenobi moniker had been rather missing from this thread, considering how deeply attracted you are to Igbo issues, with arguments that hype on Igbo so called boastful nature, while you go ahead and try to water down the even more boastful nature of other Nigerian groups. I had waited for your arrival on this thread for so long. I'm pissed off it took me long to fish you out.

So with this moniker, you are now claiming to be from Abia, no longer Anambra that you use to claim with your other moniker?

You were not here yesterday when we discussed about okpara who developed eastern region as the WORLDS fastest growing economy, not just africa. So I forgive you for that.

No that is not Obikenobi. Obikenobi is from Anambra while Superlightning(redflame) is from Abia.

What's your assessment of Nnamdi Kanu and his tactics to separate igbos from a dying Nigeria?

Those who called me afonja are babies on nairaland

Nigeria’s foremost novelist Chinua Achebe has claimed that Nigerians, especially of the Hausa/Fulani and the Yoruba stocks, do not like his Igbo ethnic group because of the southeast’s cultural advantage.

He made this claim in his new book, There was a Country, which has generated controversy for his onslaught on the role of Obafemi Awolowo as the federal commissioner of finance during the Nigeria civil war. He accused Awolowo of genocide and imposition of food blockade on Biafra, a claim that has drawn rebuttals and contradictions of emotional intensity from some southwest leaders and commentators.

“I have written in my small book entitled The Trouble with Nigeria that Nigerians will probably achieve consensus on no other matter than their common resentment of the Igbo,” he wrote under the heading, A History of Ethnic Tension and Resentment. He traced the origin of “the national resentment of the Igbo” to its culture that “gave the Igbo man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society.”

He observed that the Igbo culture’s emphasis on change, individualism and competitiveness gave his ethnic group an edge over the Hausa/Fulani man who was hindered by a “wary religion” and the Yoruba man who was hampered by” traditional hierarchies.”


He therefore described the Igbo, who are predominantly Catholic, as “fearing no god or man, was “custom-made to grasp the opportunities, such as they were, of the white man’s dispensations. And the Igbo did so with both hands.”

He delved into history with his claim, asserting that the Igbo overcame the earlier Yoruba advantage within two decades earlier in the twentieth century.

“Although the Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head start, the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950.”

He narrated the earlier advantage of Yoruba as contingent on their location on the coastline, but once the missionaries crossed the Niger, the Igbo took advantage of the opportunity and overtook the Yoruba.

‘The increase was so exponential in such a short time that within three short decades the Igbos had closed the gap and quickly moved ahead as the group with the highest literacy rate, the highest standard of living, and the greatest of citizens with postsecondary education in Nigeria,” he contended.

He said Nigerian leadership should have taken advantage of the gbo talent and this failure was partly responsible for the failure of the Nigerian state, explaining further that competitive individualism and the adventurous spirit of the Igbo was a boon Nigerian leaders failed to recognize and harness for modernization.


“Nigeria’s pathetic attempt to crush these idiosyncrasies rather than celebrate them is one of the fundamental reasons the country has not developed as it should and has emerged as a laughingstock,” he claimed.

He noted that the ousting of prominent Igbos from top offices was a ploy to achieve a simple and crude goal. He said what the Nigerians wanted was to “get the achievers out and replace them with less qualified individuals from the desired ethnic background so as to gain access to the resources of the state.”

Achebe, however, saved some criticisms for his kinsmen. He criticised them for what he described as “hubris, overweening pride and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or even worse that can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness.”

He added that “contemporary Igbo behavior(that) cab offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.

Have you been to their father's houses? They could be from Akoko ekiti too.

So, what is your views about Nnamdi Kanu?

Nne,

Nnamdi KANU to me, is a symbol of the anger and frustration of the younger Igbo generation with Nigeria as they have been ridiculed and pushed to the wall.

He is daring, bold and passionate about what he believes in.

Deedem ka-obu, maka na anyi bu ndi umuahia.

I like the fact that he shook Nigeria into bringing restructuring to the front-burner of national discourse.

He is my alternative to restructuring.

I suggest we discuss contemporary issues. There is nothing to celebrate in those ugly history. Let's talk about now and the future
