THERE WAS A COUNTRY part 1

There is a silent tribal crisis acatalectic ethnocentric animosity going on Nigeria ever sincethe end of civil war in 1970.And so much lies have been told that seems to dismember the pretended unity in the country.The blogger believes history should healus and he decided to pen this short story to heal the country.The piece was written 3 days ago)to correct there was a country written by Chinua ACHEBE posthumously on the starvation policy during the war. "Have you read'There was a country'by Chinua Achebe and the lies he told against the great Awo?" "I ve always be been telling you times without number, every man is entitled to his own opinion." "What are you driving at?I don't get you?" "When you don't have informed opinion, it's better for you to keep quiet than to be telling lies everywhere misleading the people?" "How are you sure Achebe the greatest literary genius was telling lies with that book or the starvation policy entirely?Didn't he starved them to death? About three million died unmourned." "There were all blatant liars and had no element of Truth in.Although he wrote the book more than thirty years after Awolowo's death in 1986,destiny has it that in 1983 at the age of 74,the late sage prior to Presidential election of the period,granted an interview to settle the matter once and for all." "Are you sure you Yorubas are not cooking up something again?You know they don't speak I'll of the dead.Why did you get interview from?" "Here is the interview reproduced online by Premium Times.Am very sure and Happy,ignoramus like Achebe never lived to see the truth of this matter." "Let me see"wooed his phone screen closer and readjusted his binoculars. "You can see is a long interview.He granted the during the campaign trail of 1983 election.Let me go to the part of civil war where he answered the moderator,one Mr Oparadike and recounted his experience during the war, including starvation policy,the twenty pounds,post war empowerment​ finance.99percent of the ibos perhaps haven't read that interview.And so,I think they should stop lying and face the fact.They asked him about his stand on civil war,his unpopularity among the Biafrans and his response to how he was viewed as the enemy of the ibo people." "What was his reply? Liars". "He said he had a good rapport with the igbos either in Anambra or Imo.People welcomed him warmly and 'affectionately',but the bigwigs in iboland were not too comfortable with his popularity.So,by telling lies and fabricating lies about him and denigrating him,they persisted to keep their popularity.He did not mince and nevermind he mentioned one of them". "And who was that?" "Ojukwu of course.A very blunt man.He did not mention others." "My father told lies about him, misleading my brothers.My mother refused to allow him deceived my brothers because she said they both enjoyed free education in late 50s, before they were married." "Now you re becoming objective and many ibos did not even know so many millions of ibos enjoyed free.Somebody who had been preaching free education since 1942 before becoming premier shortly after the general election of 1951.Now he said these bigwigs were pathological liars kept on telling lies about him and since they refused to be censured,'to persist in telling lies about him'what's the point of quandary defense?" "Let me quote him.... 'I know that someday the ibos,the masses of the ibo will realize who their friends are
