This kind of nonsense is all over Nairaland.. without qualms

Those of you that are comparing Shimamanda to Soyinka are guilty of blasphemy.

Y'all should be banned for life!

All this are bitterness against Asiwaju, nothing can change it! Instead for all these Igbo intellectuals sons and daughters to start negotiating and making friends across region and zones they are fanning embers of war, hatred and unreliability.

IPOB be informed that if chimamanda add another extra 18 degree she is still a student to Wole Soyinka as long as WS is holding the Nobel Laureate he is the number 1 in Nigeria according to the international community for literature.

I am sure chimamanda will still not achieve that prize because Igbo has some ego that will definitely affect them. She will definitely not be submissive to her superiors. I don't mean begging, I mean humility.

I know she will not get that price, academics is beyond I sabi book, if you are not humble you may be there in the circle for 20 years

Oduduwa Republic agitator who waved Oduduwa Republic flags on the ground of London's Chatham House in support of Tinubu as Tinubu spoke inside Chatham House;
talk is about the most backward, deceptive and fraudulent presidential election ever conducted in Nigeria, not about Chimamanda versus Soyinka.
Chimamanda never mentioned Soyinka of recent.

Bookworms study STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), not fiction writing. STEM is what makes some countries being classified as developed and some as underdeveloped, not story writing.

Do you know who they call Joseph Spliglitz, Ben Benanki, Alan Greenspan, Ngozi okonjo just a few.
Find out what they studied and the impact they made .
Do you know why Nigerias debt was written off by Paris club during Obasanjo's regime.
Find out you go know why.
Do you know why Nigerias present debt can't be written off by thier creditors ??
That's the reason you need some sound people in your cabinet. This no be dey make tribal noise. A lot you don't know.

While I consider this unnecessary, I think if a northerner achieved a fraction of this, the govt of Buhari would have at least congratulated such person.

So you think you can pliagiarise dissertation/PhD thesis in Nigeria....you must have never tasted or get close to someone running a PhD in Nigeria. Even a masters work, you have to pass it through a pliagirarism software like Turnitin
That's good to know.
I'm an ancestor, so not up to date with the happenings in academic spaces in Nigeria

You have a strong point but I doubt you would have said this if the achiever was one Adamu or Salisu Abubakar.

Igbos only respect noble elders who have regard for equity and fairness and not those traitors, selfish bastard cultists and beneficiaries of drug proceeds.

Only a brainless, terrible, wicked agbado starving. Impoverished, stomach infrastructure driven animals worship and respect criminals, cultists and their supporters.

Hahahaha....what has she donr with all these paper certificates? Sit in a foreign land and be regarded as a Second Class citizen? You think she is happy living in the abroad while people with less paper qualifications are being giving diplomatic recognitions whenever they travel abroad and they take decisions that affects your Businesses for countless generations. People from Southern Nigeria need to take a cue from the Hausa/Fulani people who do not come on social media to beat about their certificates or awards but are control king vital positions in government and making easterners go crazy every election cycle.
