Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Femi Fani-Kayode on Achebe's thoughts...

Can we please be told what is immature in the discussion on this subject so far?

Why all this speaking in codes?

If you think anyone's approach is inadequate, explain why you think so.

There has been  so little discussion of this subject on this group of scholars while the general Nigerian groups are  chewing the issue to pieces.

Anybody who has anything to say should  please say it and fearlessly.

Ibrahim my brother, I join Funmi in thanking you. We need a lot of light in this steamy moment where it is all heat and no light!

This is Chinua Achebe's interpretation of a particularly important historical moment in Nigeria's history. It is his accountancy history and his contribution and intervention and I am glad it is generating so much debate and questioning but academics and intellectuals need to grow up and face this as an important intervention.

You guys are really and truly shameless, I mean really shameless. Chinua 
wrote a book-- I doubt if there is anything new in that book--on the war 
and the crisis of the Nigerian state 1966-1970 and all you guys could do is 
defend your ethnic godfather/turf. 

Why should Chinua's take on the crisis split the exchange between so-called 
yorubas ans socalled igbos? 

This is graceful......quo vadis nigeria????? 

Mr. Abdullah,  all heat!

Thank you for your perspective on the matter.
