Uzomedia bring you a compilation of top 8 greatest Heroes and Heroines writers names of those we think have in one way or the other done the Nation proud or had been involved in nation building. In no particular order, these persons are worthy of mention, they are: 1. Prof Wole Soyinka = Being the first Nigerian and indeed first black man to win the Nobel Prize. 2. Prof Chinua Achebe = Nigerian novelist and poet, widely recognized as the father of the African novel. His first and most influential novel, Things Fall Apart (1958). 3. Ben Okri = Poet and novelist; winner 1995 Booker Prize. 4. Augustus Taiwo "Tai' Solarin = Fought running battles with various governments in order to improve the lot of Nigerians. 5. Flora Nwapa = For being the first African woman to publish a book in English. 6. Lady Kofo Ademola = For being the first Nigerian woman to receive a University degree (Oxford). 7. Grace Alele Williams = First Nigerian woman to obtain a PhD; first female Vice Chancellor. 8. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie = For winning the 2007 Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction.

I agree with numbers 1 and 2 an probably 3 too. Your citation of Achebe should not include father of African literature nonsense. Stop emabbarassing the medico turned writer who wrote one of the world's most translated books after the Holy Bible. Since the man died, things have not only fallen apart but no longer at ease. Grace Alele-Williams was not a writer but a mathematician who became the first female VC in Nigeria. Tai Solarin is better remembered as activist, social crusader and educationist than a writer. Tribute to Ola Rotimi of the famous gods are not to blame. 34 Likes 1 Share |
