He was only nominated! He hasn't won the prize yet and i know he won't win it.

Soyinka can never get a grammy nomination in his life like Chimamanda.

Half of a Yellow sun is leading at amazon and none of Soyinka's book can beat it.

Meanwhile, this is little Adichie not to talk about Achebe the father of Modern African literature. grin

Beyonce extracted Adichie's article on, "how to be a feminist" and used it on her song flawless; they both got nominated for grammy.

If it is by that then Fela has won 50 grammy and Oscar awards

Do you know how many musicians and artists that had used Fela songs extracts for the musical videos and movies?

My brother, Beyonce was nominated and she gave deserved recognition to Chimamanda

Like the way you came to say you are Delta igbo

Talking about inferiority complex, the tribe that have the least in Nigeria is the Yoruba. We have everything working for us to be bragging about our superiority , but due to our nature of not being proud people we always keep quiet.
