So Dele Olojede "accidentally" won the Pulitzer again. When would your own people start winning accidentally

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

Lol, is this supposedly a real question? Even Igbo in governance in Nigeria has achieved a whole lot, so your answers will depend on specifics of your question.

@dayokanu and co, pulitzer, orange, german book trade, booker, nobel, fischer,etc are numerous awards that has categories in literature. Check this awards and see if it's only yoruba names that are mentioned there. You are an ethnic worm eating up nairaland. Achebe's legacy transcends awards, even award winners e.g mandela, gordimer, soyinka, adichie, ngugi, etc pay homage to achebe. You know why? Because he gave africa a strong literary voice when there was none. Go and hug a suicide bomber.

una see why this man irks me so much, if i ever meet him, I'll probably shoot him after I've stomped his head in and take whatever jail time they give me. honestly there is some people that are a waste and this nigg@ is one of them

1.) Achebe was given that name by not igbos, not Nigerians but in fact outside of the shore he came from and till date been recited by other Africans. A mhuge Fact. now go shove your head in a crate of snakes

2.) and who are this nigerians that's criticize him? hmm lets see bigots like are YOU and other yorubas. unknown trying to make a name for themselves like omatseye that's very yorubanized and who else oh year that one bello we've never heard about till today. now compare that to soyinka, okri, heck even most politicians we no like don praise the man. I don't even know why this people, anything they.don't like something they start shouting "majority of Nigeria" like as if their opinion immediately translates as every ones opinion. my guy sit your chamelon @ss down. don't even try on the comparison on how much he's condemned compared to how much he's praised before or even after his death. me and you know who will lose if we all start trolling this forum with praise against critcism.

3.) so is this man trying to tell us the entire world are uneducated including most nation journalist, writers and especially African writers including the one you are comparing Achebe to really? even went as far to call them ungod fearing?even mendela? see your stupd1ty you no dey shame.

4 and 5.) monkey telling people how someone benefitted them or not. na u be master to preach, taking aspirin for everyone abi? even going to the point of talkig about sh1t he's clueless on.better go and read about his african series work. abeg sit your chamelon, monkey looking, bigotted @ss down. its not a must you have to jump on every thread jumping around like an illiterate on crack. when people are conversing and you have nothing tangible to add, be like the rest of us and STFU. don't make yourself look like a damn fool.

If Obama could win the peace prize less than 6months of coming into power, then I dare say the gods must be crazy.

Did you read my post, I said answers will depend on the type of questions. Starting from this current administration in governance, pick a field with Igbos, and I will break it down for you.

The granting of the Nobel “peace prize” to president Barack Obama has become an integral part of the Pentagon’s propaganda machine It provides a human face to the invaders, it upholds the demonization of those who oppose US military intervention.

The decision to grant Obama the Nobel Peace Prize was no doubt carefully negotiated with the Norwegian Committee at the highest levels of the US government It has far reaching implications.

It unequivocally upholds the US led war as a “Just Cause”. It erases the war crimes committed both by the Bush and Obama administrations.

Mr. Globe:
I dare say ndi ofe media did a nice job of hoodwinking Nigerians into thinking the Nobel prize the ultimate and only prize for literature. An award that has no financial or credibility value.

Two laureates voluntarily declined the Nobel Prize. Jean Paul Sartre declined the 1964 prize for Literature, stating, "A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution, even if it takes place in the most honourable form."[180][181] The second person who refused the prize is Lê Đức Thọ, who was awarded the 1973 Peace Prize for his role in the Paris Peace Accords. He declined, claiming there was no actual peace in Vietnam.[180]

@caustical, we don't need to mention names. Your brain must have been phased out if you don't know any. But to help your fagged out brain a bit, start with equiano and jaja of opobo, study their legacies and submit your assignment on NL.

The problem is that people who really worked for peace like Mahatma Ghandi the apostle of peace were not given the prize leaving people wondering the Gross Criteria used in selecting whom to give and not give and the Glaring discrepancy of leaving off the most qualified candidates
