One reason for his not winning a Nobel Prize was he had no recent writing to gauge him on for sometime. That might have been an after effect of the war which might have left him feeling depressed and traumatised! Poor fellow He wasn't against the country but despised the corruption riddled political class and the rot they left behind One of his poems sums it all: "The sinister grin of Africa's idiot kings Who oversee in obscene palaces of gold the butchery of their own people" 3 Likes |

How many of you connects everything to tribe beats me. If you wish to be educated go all the way till you reach enlightenment. Dont block you view with all this. I know a friend whenever he is watching Chelsea matches he stops watching football. Every ref decision is bias,everyone is stupid and only Chelsea is right. Setiments will stop you from seeing the big picture of our collective archievements. 3 Likes |

GBOKASINCHA:You can't even spell professor! I would be disappointed if Sole Soyinka was mentioned alongside those less educated fake writers! Sole Soyinka belongs to another class entirely; he is a Nobel Laurette. Till eternity, no Igbo will ever bag that title. |

germaphobe: Opposition of the 'whites'? You actually know nothing. If you're referring to Americans and Europeans, Achebe never ever opposed them. In fact, he wrote his stories to buttress their jaundiced views of those you call "whites". 3 Likes |

She is a bigoted Tribalist desperately seeking to divide through sentiments, She loves all four but was seen beggarly seeking a Pose with Wole Soyinka Last week. I have read all four and none of them write as excellent as Wole Soyinka. "Go read Ake", "The man died" The Trial of brother Jero", "You must break forth at dawn" Idanre and the other Poems, "A shuttle in the crypt" "Climate of Fear" "King Baabu" "Opera Wonyosi" Season of anatomy" and others and be amazed or thrown into the realms of his mystical minds and erudition, she always seeks to promote her tribe by these drifts, everyone knows that the Soyinka race ranks high in intellectual dexterity in literature, law and medicine and general science, despite her passive acquiescence. These four of her choice are the only hero of her race, Chimammanda must grow up and stop these selfish selection and her constant rhetorical diatribe against the huge intelligence resident in Nigeria, I have always picked certain of her conjectures and you can see Tribalism emitting from her constitution. If you have read Ayi Kwei Armah, Nadine Gordimer,Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Dennis Brutus, Mongo Beti, Jomo Kenyatta,Thomas Mafolo and many others, to limit excellence to her tribe is shameful and an obvious bias 1 Like |

chiboy1116: How can you say Achebe was a better novelist than Soyinka? Just say he was a better storyteller. Novel writing goes beyond telling a story. It involves other devices. For instance, Achebe was a great storyteller but when it comes to novel writing, he was not as rich in depth as novelists like Coatzee and Mahfouz or even Gordimer. |

germaphobe: Between Soyinka and Achebe, Achebe was the asslicker of the British. Soyinka mocks the white in most of his works while Achebe portrayed the whites as superior to the blacks. Even in his personal life, Soyinka refused to tolerate the white man's religion. None of his children bears foreign names. He is a traditional man to the core. He won the Nobel prize purely on merit. |

BluntBoy:I guess u don't even know the meaning of a novel , a novel is also a prose and that's Achebe's specialty . Poetry and drama goes to Soyinka . |

PearlStreet:One thing I have noticed about Igbo is that they argue base on motion not with knowledge and intelligence.They are very emotional! 99% of Igbo don't know soyinka was jailed because of biafra yet they hate him because of GEJ and chinua ACHEBE. There love for biafra is erratically emotional,of not one hausa fulani muslim Atiku will not buy them and their biafra as slaves from nnamdi Kanu with dollars! |

PearlStreet:Chinua Achebe was buried like a dog? Please keep quiet if you have nothing to say. Your grandfather wasn't famous, but was he buried like a dog? I don't think so. I think your family probably pooled resources together and buried him respectfully in your own gentle way. Do you know what it means to be 'buried like a dog'? Chinua Achebe wasn't given a State Burial. He was not buried with ablomp like someone of his celebrity status should have, but he definitely was not buried like a dog. Some of you throw words around carelessly! 4 Likes 1 Share |
