Pretty Prisca: Congrats....still hoping for Chimamanda Adichie to win the prize some day!*smiles*

Not with what she is writing, like Americanah, Half Yellow sun,etc. With little African background to distinguish her works from others as to uniqueness in them she might probably wait for a life time to win the prize.

you cant be ambitious to win the NOBEL PRIZE. Let your educational works speak for you. Nobel Prize is not by ambition, its by the grace of your works.
Yes. Come to think of a writer of short stories winning the prize..its rare

Italiano1: Congratulations to Alice Munro!

She joins a group of talented and well deserving writers who have distinguished themselves in the Literary world.

Most Nigerians will be proud that we have an eminent and notable son- Professor Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka who is included in that select list

The First In Africa and Nigeria to win Nobel Price for Literature....

I wonder why they had to wait for her to be so near the grave before giving her the award. *Just Wondering*

It's never too late to reach the peak of one's dreams so far there is still breath in us- lesson learnt from this.

You made much sense my brother
