This is just foolishness from these igbo kids. For you to be comparing her with wole soyinka. So your brain doesn't tell you this is foolishness and hatred. All what u are all saying can't even come out from her mouth to prof wole soyinka. There is respect in academy. U are only creating more enemy for her d same way u created enemy for Peter Obi and Gbadebo. Prof wole soyinka is someone she respects sef. But u idiot don't know what u are talking about.

Take it or leave it. When it comes to literature, Chimamanda no be wole soyinka mate at all.

Ogbeni calm down, this shows how low your thinking is concerning matters like this.

It's very sickening to compare both of them. Chimamanda is good no doubt, she doesn't and may never attempt the strides Soyinka made outside literature.

By the way I don't think they do the same genres. So there's no basis comparisons.

She's is a woman who knows her onions, and have made name for herself and family, I respect her a lot. However, it doesn't make her politically correct.

Everybody get their area of specialisation, but as citizens they have the right to use their fame to stir the hornet's nest, air the sentiments, that doesn't mean it will change a thing. Just like Prof Wole Soyinka sided with the Biafrans and earned a 22 months jail term without achieving a thing.

No doubt she is an icon, but too small compared to Soyinka. Maybe it will take her the next 25 years to reach Soyinka's level. So no need for all these comparison. She has also achieved much more than kids of her age. I respect her as well.
Actually her books are more read than his. That should tell you a lot. She is by a wide gap the most read living Nigerian on Amazon.

How low can Nigerians be. Common Honorary degree not even real Phd. Even those with multiple real PHD are not making noise. Even MC Oluomo has & can even purchase honorary degrees. So rest. No big deal.

Even Soyinka can swear in private that Tinubu never won the last presidential election in Nigeria, as Tinubu's APC within 8 years reduced Nigeria to become a country harboring the highest number of poor people on earth, one of the most terrorised countries in the world, and the highest indebted country in Africa.
What transpired on 25th February election day was as early voters started to reject APC presidential candidate in the polls, Mahmood Yakubu got wind of that early, and quickly ordered for disactivation of INEC’S iREV portal involved in uptake of presidential election results, but forgot to also shut out the upload of the National Assembly election results that were being electronically transmitted at the same time as the presidential election results.
Alas, Yakubu resorted to illegal manual collation of votes and doctored vote results to make Tinubu get highest number of votes followed by Atiku.
Normally, a presidential election contested by 3 foremost Muslim presidential candidates against one foremost Christian presidential candidate, the 3 Muslims would share the votes of the hard core Muslims who would not vote for the Christian presidential candidate. In the process, the Christian presidential candidate should win by a wide margin of votes.

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

PhD abroad is legit
You can be sure all plagiarism will be detected.
You have resources available too.
Because you suffer more, does not make your research superior cheesy
However, in this particular case it doesn't apply, as they are non academic degrees
They are all honorary degrees, a recognition of her contribution to the art of literature

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

Soyinka has over 40 and stopped receiving since 2018. The highest award for any profession in the world is Noble prize. There is no basis for comparison between the two. The other is too small here her senior is. But , again she is a genius. I must admit this.

You dey mind them? You think they know all this? Lol They're so clueless bro! grin

Creating what?? You that started your hatred for the Igbos from the womb. Just see how fast you doubled your hatred for Gbadebo just because you saw Chinedu in his name. Idiot claiming Imam. Give some respect to that title or remove it entirely.

Many Ivy league universities are falling over themselves to give her an award.
