Imagine a Nigerian insulting Chinua Achebe of all people. If we do not respect our true heroes, how then do we expect other countries to respect us. Everyone has a right to ignorance and dumbness but you have no right to spread it across a forum like this. I will advise the admin of this forum to delete such offensive comments for this forum not to lose its credibility and appeal. How do you expect intelligent minds to remain in this forum after reading some of the comments here. If it were in some other forums like NairaLand, such comments would have been deleted and that is why it has remained the number one forum for Nigerians. The fact that we have freedom of speech does not mean that we should come here to portray Nigerians as unintelligent people. Remember that this site is also viewed by other nationals from other countries.

Some of the comments here just goes to highlight how bad the standard of education has fallen in this country. In the past, the youths and students would have been in the fore-front of the struggle for a better Nigeria. They would have come out with demonstrations and positions articulating their ponts brilliantly. We used to have high-profile student leaders like Femi Falana, Olusegun Maiyegun, Mike Igini, etc. Now, is it not a shame that it is the elderly like Soyinka, Bakare, Falana, etc that are leading the struggle while the youths just stand to watch, maybe because they are not intelligent enough to articulate their points. These days, no one knows who the NANS president is but before everyone knew who the Student Union leader of UNILAG or UNIBEN or UI was. You should rather be ashamed of yourself and fearful for your future rather than come here to insult someone who, even if he dies today, will die as well-accomplished and by all standards successful.
