ezeagu: Chinua Achebe is a living national treasure (for Africa, for Nigeria, and for the Igbo people). What has he done for Nigeria or Africa other than create more divisions by parroting his biafracentric views?? 3 Likes |

Aigbofa: .................except his (achebe's) gullible and herd-like people who can't discern when they are being 419ed again like ojukwu did which culminated in the death of millions of kith and kin before he ran off in the middle of the night to abidjan, "in search of peace". Here now, we have achebe printing lies about the yorubas 'cause he knew this will resonate well with his people, from the safety of his abode in faraway US, knowing fully well that when the backlash commences, he will be safe seeing as he's a cripple and therefore can't move fast enough away from the impending doom which he helped to create just so he can add a few more bucks to his nest-egg. 1 Like |

ezeagu: Folks like you don't get it. Let me break it down: what's the meaning of being the best dribbler without winning the African Footballer of the Year? It means you are not the best, not good enough in a particular year under consideration. Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is well read not as a literary masterpiece but for its contents which brought to the fore African perspective on colonialism, no more no less. Contrary to what's being circulated widely, Things Fall Apart is not a fiction. Same is applicable to other books written by Achebe. Achebe is a lazy writer who's being over hyped for what's not even clear. Talk poetry, Achebe is zero; talk drama, he's zero; prose, he can only write auto and semi autobiographical books. can you compare that with other men of letters who are well grounded in all genres of literature? Anyone can write prose, including your good self. Stop promoting mediocrity, a term that embodies the works of Achebe. 2 Likes |

That's nice. So when did Mark Twain get a Nobel Prize? Since when is literature (an arts) comparable to a sport? Anyway, all I know is "first class, or no first class", the people have spoken "11 million copies sold worldwide", "most read African novel in history". 11 Likes |

The most read African novel in history is about an ordinary Okoro in a village set in pre-colonial Anambra State. 2 Likes |

hypeman: Benjamin Zephaniah is more of a black/African hero than Achebe - he's down for the cause and he's definitely a better writer... Are you for real?? Benjamin Zephanaiah is a better writer than Chinua Achebe? Dude are you like a rastafarian or something 1 Like |

ezeagu: Herd-like people [who produce best-selling authors, one of which wrote the best selling African novel in history, and whose recent book is on the world stage]. Herd-like as in, even achebe got 419ed by ojukwu and became biafra's roving ambassador churning out lies and more lies which at the time is considered to be propaganda. Now the senile old fool is going to make tons of bucks from his pile of junk which you all are hailing as the gospel. Its instructive to note that the i.diot never wrote such disparaging "truth" about the sardunna whom we all know hates the ibos and never made any secret of it, as he did, Awo. I guess he knew (from his past experience) that, doing so will be all the impetus the hausa/fulanis require, to take off so much obdurate ibo heads that will leave even Boko haram, envious. |
