This is the oldest thug-of-war in nigerian literature 4 two writers with distinctly different styles but share some similarity in substance.
Achebe writes better prose and he's voice is more authentic and true to the soil.
On the other hand soyinka is a better poet and playwright with an eccentric tone and obscure outlook.
They appeal to different audiences but like everything nigerian their fans have demarcated the debate into igbo vs yoruba.

We have been here before. Please let us not go down this road again. The tribal lines and affiliations would once again come to the fore if we do.  |

This topic has been rehashed on this same board previously. Why dredge it over again?

i think the question should have been written as:SOYINKA AND ACHEBE;WHO IS GREATER?.anyway,ndipe's opinion is also mine and i think that does it for this overthrashed issue.
