RTSC: That is a nice way to console one self. JK Rowling author of Harry Potter is even more widely read and she will never win a Nobel Prize because she is not good enough. There is no comparison between Soyinka and Achebe. He wrote Plays mainly , just like Shakespeare, though he wrote other works too Playwrights inhabit a world inaccessible to those whose diet is James Hadley Chase and Jackie Collins Yes people drink more Coca Cola than Orange juice but that does not make it good or healthy Shakespeare wrote works like Macbeth Merchant of Venice Julius Caesar etc They are HARD WORK to read and study . They are not intellectual popcorn and so we do not expect millions of people to buy them Wole Soyinka wrote Plays which we also studied at school e.g Trials of Brother Jero.# #It is not the sort of work ordinary people read on a plane journey. He wrote serious philosophical essays whic again, were serious academic works and poetry. That is why his peers honoured him 18 Likes |

SLAP44:Wole Soyinka gave an epic reply if you only bothered to analyze it. 1. He just told Omokri that "he isn't worth a reply" 2. He acknowledged his respect to the great Chinua Achebe 3. He gave no room for Reno to reply: cause any reply would be stupidity If a mad man tore your shirt, would you roll up your sleeves to fight him? |

Bridget95:Guy please learn to speak English and stop talking nonsense,. What is "resonate well.... far above" The fact is you have no clue. It is clear you do not read because you cannot string a simple sentence together. You think this is a matter of getting "likes" on social media? Achebe was not good Enough even to be nominated . Yes Soyinka was the first African but not the last so why was Achebe not subsequently nominated? His works were average ,nothing distinctive. His only claim to fame was that he ,because of his age, was one of the first Africans to be published and was a pioneer with the African Writer series. He was mainly a novelist. Wole Soyinka wrote plays that were performed in the National Theatre in London. Wole Soyinka not only wrote plays, he acted on stage. He directed plays and ran theatre companies. Theatre was his forte though he wrote serious novels like The Man died , I am sure you have not read it because it is hard work and not for simple minded folk 6 Likes |

SLAP44: Comparisons like that can hurt. We shouldn't make unguarded statements. Words are like toothpaste. When out, you can not put it back in. Achebe is a master storyteller. Wole Shoyinks is a wordsmith. 1 Like 1 Share |
