alj harem: Look here are facts and I am waiting for any bigot to dispose of it.

1. How did Achebe frictional/personal encounter translate to African writer's best

2. Achebe can never be respect in Nigeria because of his last book that has destoryed the progress we have tried to foster among Igbos with other ethnic group

3. The world elite and educated, God fearing ones can never respect Achebe because he was a known bigot

4. Achebe has achieved nothing for Igbo people other than create hate in the hearts of younger generations fact

5. Not only did he not achieve anything for Igbo people but also he has no contribution/charity/foundations etc for any african society upon his statue so of what purpose is his "respect"

This is lame even for a bigot of your calibre

Chai! Omo yoba sha!
Now you want to argue an English word with an English dictionary? I am embarrassed for you! You think we're speaking your mother tongue here?

Who taught you what "Semitism means"? The dictionary
Who taught you what "anti" means? The dictionary
The same dictionary tells you what antisemitism means and you want to use your head? The same head you failed through school with?

Your case is irredeemably pathetic!

Mr. Globe:
what do you expect from someone who works for Tinubu and one who is the editor for the most rretarded and disorganized newspaper in Nigeria. This was the same person that wrote against mama HIV awolowo for calling Tinubu a fraudster he is.
For the fact that this fool called the Nobel prize the preeminent prize in literature shows that he lacks any basic knowledge and information in the field and may well be another certificate forger like his master Tinubu.
Well Mr. Sam your grandmother may be a good storyteller but while she died in obscurity and irrelevancy like you will, Achebe sold multi million copies of his stories, more than any African. Dined with world leaders with his stories, had his stories told in major languages in the world, had his stories become part of school curricula world over. Stay here and be feeding crumbs from Tinubu your pay master.

seanet01: Because the Dictionary said so does not mean it is correct. Semite is not an English Word so the dictionary is just as dumb as you are.
you have probably forgotten that Anti-semitism and antisemitism are two different things though related. They are German coined words first used by Moritz a German-Jew not English people.

Cusubaba: Mumu... Don't worry you are already living a miserable and bitter life. Very soon you will drink rat poison and die young like AwoThief.

Mr. Globe:

and you still remain onye ofe that have failed to read or learn. Ever heard of Pulitzer prize? And did #1 onye ofe awo win any award in his lifetime? These ndi ofe sha.

Awolowo died at 78yrs If dying at 78 is dying young then so be it. Its better than living to Achebes age and be bitter, crippled

The Prize in Literature has a history of controversial awards and notorious snubs. Arguably, more indisputably major authors have been ignored by the Nobel Committee than have been honored by it Examples include Marcel Proust, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Jorge Luis Borges, Gertrude Stein, August Strindberg, John Updike, Arthur Miller, Bertolt Brecht, Yannis Ritsos, often for political or extra-literary reasons. Conversely, many writers whom subsequent criticism regarded as minor, inconsequential or transitional won the prize
From 1901 to 1912, the committee's work reflected an interpretation of the "ideal direction" stated in Nobel's will as "a lofty and sound idealism", which caused Leo Tolstoy, Henrik Ibsen, Émile Zola and Mark Twain to be rejected[b] Sweden's historic antipathy towards Russia was cited as the reason neither Tolstoy nor Anton Chekhov took the prize[/b] During World War I and its immediate aftermath, the committee adopted a policy of neutrality, favoring writers from non-combatant countries.[38]
The heavy focus on European authors, and Swedes in particular, is the subject of mounting criticism, including from major Swedish newspapers The majority of the laureates have been European. Swedes received more prizes than all of Asia. In 2008, Horace Engdahl, then the permanent secretary of the Academy, declared that "Europe still is the center of the literary world" and that "the US is too isolated, too insular. They don't translate enough and don't really participate in the big dialogue of literature."[40] In 2009, Engdahl's replacement, Peter Englund, rejected this sentiment ("In most language areas ... there are authors that really deserve and could get the Nobel Prize and that goes for the United States and the Americas, as well," and acknowledged the Eurocentric bias of the selections, saying that, "I think that is a problem. We tend to relate more easily to literature written in Europe and in the European tradition."[41

The Higgs boson discovery didn't win the Nobel Prize in Physics this year despite being the sexiest and perhaps the most significant physics discovery in the last 50 years. You might even be asking yourself why and pondering the meaning of life now that the Nobel jury didn't recognize the God Particle.

The announcement that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize has inspired a new wave of history-seekers to look into the prize. Who's won and who hasn't? Conservatives have long criticized the award for not recognizing Ronald Reagan, seen by some as instrumental in bringing down communism in Russia.

In this slideshow, we're looking at those who made a great impact on the world, but were never honored with a Nobel Peace Prize. Which of these inspirational leaders should have won? (Special thanks to Foreign Policy magazine for some on this list.)

please read this from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize_controversies



Any body after reading this brief and still uses the Nobel prize as a yard stick for measuring literary success will need to be examined by a psychiatrist Doctor

Just as the Nobel Prize people preemptively gave President Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for what he could or would do in office, they should give a Nobel Prize in Literature to me (and then maybe the year after that to you) for what we will accomplish in our Literary Careers with the million bucks, the free donuts and champagne and the NPR drive-time interviews we’ll receive as a Nobel Prize Winner.
