The name sounds Nigerian. Thought it was one of our brother from the land of the rising sun. We for no hear word today.

Nnamdi Kanu would have won a Nobel Peace prize but he chose the other option

He could have but like I've always said he's not that intelligent.

Look at the kind of people on this thread! Kazuo's Never Let Me Go is a really good book. I can't believe there are people who haven't heard of Kazuo and his books!

Bob Dylan winning the Nobel prize for literature doesn't make it a prize for musicians, Passenger writes good music no doubt, but does he write better literature than other writers out there.

And the Nobel is an award for lifetime achievement, so even if he writes better literature he's still got a long way to go.

there is nowhere i said the prize should be for musicians. who are the others out there. I just asked a question, but you have decided to tell me why I should not ask that question instead of telling me why passenger cannot win it for now though u did that in ur second paragraph. the first was unnecessary.

It's the way you see it actually, the prize not being for musicians is one of the reasons why it would be very difficult for passenger to win. Guess you misunderstood me.

P.S. - I really really love Passenger, and would be glad to see him win, even though I don't see it happening.

Peace bro.
