The photography is very poor in quality. It has brownish colour riot! Wole Soyinka native Agbada is one in town. Although good dress by african culture. I was thinking Wole Soyinka will put on corporate suit wear. Nice award to a proud african son and learned professor. |

chuksanambra:Failed or denied the prize because of his sympathy for the Biafra cause? What other books of Soyinka can you use to compare Things fall apart, arrow of God and No longer at ease? Are you into literature yourself or you are just prattling? Do you even know the criterium for winning the Nobel prize? My friend lots of strings were pulled for Oga Wole to bag that prize. |

Too bad, insecure, pessimistic element bringing tribalism to this image. Incredible ! Are these the Nigerians that walks the it surface and have interacted with? We must change our mentality, let’s embrace love and truth all else, it's clear. We all will suffer the consequences and our generations unborn might never forgive us but curse. 1 Like |

Deo1986: What rubbish are you saying? Didn't Wole Soyinka also support Biafra such that the was even imprisoned? Imagine the ridiculous statement that Achebe was denied a Nobel because he supported Biafra. Wole pulled strings to bag which prize? Keep manufacturing ridiculous excuses. 5 Likes |

Legend, but Chinua Achebe is Better. So much Respect for Soyinka because he is Pan Africanist. Some follow-follow folks would have barbed that Afro Hair and put on coat. |

It aims to use creative writing to fight discrimination and dispel stereotypes by showing how writers in different places and with different lives can contribute and tell one big story without having to destroy the little stories of others. Fifty (50) or more writers will contribute to a fictional story by writing a one page continuation of the story ‘Without Borders’. Writers are free to twist the story in any form by addressing any social issue or topic of their choice but must connect the story in the page before their own. How to participate Indicate your willingness to participate or be contacted by the creators of the project and register here; https:///forms/bdFSee2wbbAXZPWu2 Upon acceptance into the project, a one page story would be sent for you to continue using the following guidelines; Font size: 12 Font type: Times New Roman Line spacing: 1.5 Text alignment: Justify Not more than one page If non-English words are contained please send an extra page listing and explaining them Submit your continuation within five (5) days after receiving the one page story from the creators Disclaimer By submitting your own story you hereby agree that you have no control of any story before or after yours and your story becomes property of the social experiment/project Acceptance of your work after review into the project is at the sole discretion of the creators E-mail: withoutbordersng@gmail.com Phone: +234 (0) 8052676700 OyinO: |

See them Ipob. The success of a Yoruba man is not an indication of the failure of his igbo counterpart. Celebrate the prof or saying nothing. No need for omo yiibo to litter the thread with petty comments that stem from intense jealousy and hatred for the Yoruba nation. Our success does not portend doom for you igbos as you believe. 2 Likes |

bizme: Gbam! You said it all. Achebe was a good story teller, Soyinka is all round artist... Story teller, playwright, poet,etc. People need to understand the criteria involved in getting this award. If it was just about storytelling, Sydney Sheldon, and Danielle Steel will also have the award. 1 Like |
