I respect and adore you so much ma'am....it disgusts so much to see all these tribalistic personalities in here, and that's the way they are real life. is a pity for Nigeria. 4 Likes 1 Share |

kolaxed98:u need to talk with sense ...I am sure u haven't read any of their books . Achebe and Soyinka are great talented writers in African literature. Achebe was a good story teller in prose while Soyinka is very good at play and poem (Drama & Poetry). Achebe was a good novelist, (prose). Soyinka is a good playwright (drama). Both of them are good writers in different genres of literature but in term of novel, Chinua Achebe was better than Wole Soyinka. And in term of play and poem, Soyinka is better than Achebe. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

GBOKASINCHA: Soyinka supported Biafra and was jailed. As at when Soyinka was supporting Biafra, your fathers in the village were hiding in cassava farms to avoid joining the Biafran army. 6 Likes |

Chimamanda was speaking at an Igbo cultural event, and talking about Igbo writers that influenced her. How would you people expect she would mention Soyinka there when Wole Soyinka isn’t an Igbo man ? Do you know how many other foreign writers influenced her? Those also went unmentioned because the context was about Igbo writers. Way too many dull people on Nairaland. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

texazzpete:Let's be honest here, there is no influenced of Soyinka in her writings. Their plots and writing patterns are not even remotely related. If you have read any of her works you will notice the style of Flora. 6 Likes 1 Share |

PearlStreet: Have you read her book purple hibiscus? Does it in anyway mirror Wole Soyinka's kind of writing? She only mentioned the people whose style of writing she copied. And she still respects Wole. |

PearlStreet:You have a very big issue but you don't seem to know it yet. Chimamanda simply mentioned the people she considered her motivators and you're here displaying your inherent envy all over the forum. You're a very toxic being who shouldn't be allowed near successful people. 7 Likes 1 Share |

PearlStreet:imagine waking up in the morning and hearing that innocent people are been killed nationwide just because of their tribe , your friends and family, then people come to you telling you to leave your house and run back to your hometown to avoid been killed, you plan to leave for the next day with your kinsman on that day but on reaching his home you see him dead and you and your family barely escaped to your hometown all just because of your tribe, this is just a bit of what he passed through, believe many of us would be bitter if we had such a horrific experience, please don't always judge people based on such actions because you have no idea what they have been through. Remember he rejected the national award that was bestowed on him and I am sure his spirit would not have rested peacefully if he was given a national burial by a country that betrayed him. Even Prof. Wole might reject a state burial because he did not believe the country he fought would end up been this corrupt. It is not pride but rather satisfying your conscience. 10 Likes |
