kettykin: [size=20pt] Nigerians overate the Nobel prize just because Soyinka Accidentally won it in 1986[/size]
http://www.theawl.com/2012/10/how-to-win-the-nobel-prize-in-literature

Obama with practically no administrative experience won a Nobel price after he assumed the US presidency in his first Tenure

Soyinka "Accidentally" won as a 50yr old man, But Ashebe couldnt accidentally in over 8 decades he lived

What a waste

They may not bother to read it, but would rather prefer to argue blindly. Most of them got their minds running in one track.

Those folks are the most Gullible folks ever if the Nobel Price was so real and fantastic how come their Demigod Awolowo did not win a Nobel price for peace for his self acclaimed administrative prowess and free education

if Soyinka did not accidentally win the Nobel prize how come his books are not among the first 1000 most widely read book in the world where as Achebe's book is among the first 50 most widely read books in the world

Achebe's death was widely mourned all over the word while Awolowo was only mourned in the Soth west , in fact his son who died last month was only mourned by yorubas and a few sympathizing 2015 political aspirants looking for yourba votes

[size=20pt]Jail Bird wins Nobel Prize[/size]


Jailed China Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo's relative held
The brother-in-law of jailed Chinese Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo is being held on fraud charges, his lawyer says.

Liu Hui was detained in January over a property dispute, his lawyer Mo Shaoping said, adding that the evidence against him was "insufficient".

Liu Xiaobo was sentenced in 2009 for helping to draft a manifesto - Charter 08 - calling for political change.

His wife, Liu Xia, has been under house arrest ever since he was awarded the Nobel prize two-and-half years ago.

Confined to her Beijing apartment with no internet or phone access, and limited to weekly visits to family members, she has described her house arrest as a painful experience.

Liu Xiaobo is currently serving 11 years in jail for inciting the subversion of state power. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 despite the Chinese government's fierce opposition.

"[Liu Hui] should face trial soon, within a month," Mo Shaoping told the AFP news agency.

He could not confirm whether the charges were connected with the activities of his brother-in-law, but said he had been under constant "surveillance by public security units" in recent months, AFP reports.

Some 134 Nobel laureates and Chinese activists wrote to Xi Jinping, the new head of the Communist Party, in December asking for Liu Xiaobo's release.

Someone needs to slap ndi ofe back to 1916 where they rightfully belong for the good of the world. If the Nobel prize was that relevant, the international media would have debated why Achebe did not win it when he died as that is the order. But not one mention. Only ndi ofe obsessed themselves with it.

Or capitalize on something even if its Biafra genocide, erosion in Biafra, Kidnapping in Biafra, Drug Pushing by Biafrans anything to win those prizes?
