Chinua Achebe Rejects National Honour Award From Goodluck Jonathan (Page 4)

Those dinning with the people who are crippling this country are also crippling her. We must satnd up and tell them that we are angry with them just Achebe has just done.

Chinua Achebe has shown how worthless our Goverment is....And he is right about it.

Bravo,                                                                                                                                                                                                 Nigeria need people like Chinua Achebe to stand against hooligans, thieves and those who turned politics to business and avenue of money making without thinking for the betterment of masses. Is it true that a senate in Nigeria is getting 10 million naira per month?  Are those so call politicians worth what they are taking from Nigeria  treasury? Can the so call politician point to any achievement or progress that they brought to the nation that let them deserve their salaries? How many of those looters and destroyers so call politicians can lay their life for Nigeria?  How many of them will stay in the country if things turns bad (God forbid)?                           The time has come for Nigerians to come together and unite to stand against those, through their own personal interest,want to destroy the dream of oneness,love, tolerant and lovely big family.                                                                                                                  Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Dele Giwa, Sanrowiwa, Gani Fawehinmi, Muritala Mohamed,and host of the past heroes has done what they can. Until we have someone like Jerry Rawliing and do what he did to those who messed up Ghana, things won`t be straight in that blessed Country (Nigeria).

Please don't ever try to curse a man already bless by God. For nigerIAn to give any award as honour to a true Biafran son is a CURSE.
The name niGERia is a CURSE. The name niGERIa is POGROM. The name niGERia is BOKO HARAM.

Injustice any where is a threat to JUSTICE.

The man is a contented man. he knows his name has got sufficient honor, he does not want too much of honor. Did they not say that too much of every thing is bad? He is not a greedy man he wants the honor be given to those who have not got enough honor.

Why should a man of his honour accept an award from a country he knows his grand children may not be living in safety.
