Achebe connects with you. You hardly forget what you read.

Don't you think the fault is your intellectual capacity

All this is not necessary, Prof. Soyinka has paid his dues for the country and like every other citizen is entitled to his opinion.
His latest opinion is not a criteria to discredit him of his past achievements.
Both Authors has contributed their quota let's focus now on the court case, all this side distraction is not necessary.
my opinion though.

Nah. If the message is not passed the whole essence is dead.

That is why you can recommend chimmanda books to a prof and a olevel student.

It's just writing. You must connect.

No be philosophical writing nah.

Fools everywhere Professor Soyinka collect award Achebe did not, so why kill yourself,

Some of you were not every born , let us go back to regional government and develop our region

Easterner should go back and stop claiming they help develop Lagos, Lagos can not be the state of origin of any Chukwudi or Emeka

This post isn't necessary

Lmao.

Over 204 threads created so far.

Why?

All to prove that a man of Prof Wole Soyinka status is not entitled to his opinion.

If una like, insult everybody from now till the next 8 years, Nigerians will still decide based on who they prefer, not the candidate with the highest number of nattering nitwits.

Some people write for highly intelligent people and some write for people with lower intelligence. The thing as a reader is to look for your 'shoe size'.

This make me laugh like craze.

Are you saying OP is not intelligent enough to comprehend Wole Soyinka writings?

Yugoslavia247 Is this true that you can’t comprehend Wole Soyinka books because of the kind of vocabulary baba dey always write? Is that why you don’t like reading it?

Bro you are laffing at your mumulity.

Is there a book for certain people.

Except the book is a philosophical book.

It is for everyone.

You wrote a book and do not communicate.

Everyone knows things fall apart

That book was analyzed thousands of times.

A primary school child can read and a prof too

A man of the people.

The OP asked a question and he gave examples of Achebe's books, why not stick to the thread and reply him with Soyinka's books, and for you talk about regional government, didn't the Igbos leave Lagos and the entire south west for you people to have their own country, you people fought and killed them to come back, so just keep quiet on that matter and focus on what the OP is discussing or simply leave the thread....

The fact that more people can connect with the various books of James Hadley Chase doesn't mean he's at par with the legendary Williams Shakespeare.

Achebe is like James Hadley Chase while Soyinka is like Shakespeare. I know that you don't know the difference. All Achebe's book is one way which is storytelling while Soyinka is more diverse in different fields of writing which includes but not limited to playwright, novelist, poet, and essay writing. I won't indulge you by naming his various works because I know that it's beyond your mental capacity, but do me a favour and read up on why he won a Nobel prize with the same works that your ignoramus self failed to understand

Hmm. For me, Soyinka does the two. He's a wizard with words and his story connects with me.

Yes there is a book for certain people. There are some book that a primary school child can’t read because of the type of complex English which is why we have different books for primary, secondary, and tertiary.

Even if a primary school child is brilliant, there are books he can read and he will never comprehend.

If you don’t know there are book for certain people, then your own case is worse than that illiterate man child called Sharley Boy.

Because some old men still have issues with comprehension.

The question is did he win highest world honour like Soyinka? So far he failed to win world cup in literature, forget it; humble yourself to accept Soyinka as the boss. The world weighed the two of them and gave world cup price to Soyinka because he is better. No need to brag, is not about how many books that are not recognized to win highest price in litrature, it is not about quantity of books written, it is about quality that attracts highest price which the world of literature had spoken loud about Soyinka being the boss. Stop wasting your energy, go and remain best in your own area
