SO THEN WHY ARE YOU GUYS ANGRY WITH ACHEBE SINCE HE TOO TALKS IN RIDDLES IN HIS BOOK "THERE WAS A COUNTRY"

hahaha hehehe a snake can only begot a snake ,
but a lion always begots his likes.

Who is talking about riddles here? Do you think we are doing a "kpa kpan golo thing here"?

Interesting read.

Man of Honour!

It is VERY clear the people he is talking to and about! Some of them loonies already showed up and posted on this same thread but you can guess they did not even understand what they read! If anyone is still in doubt, who are the MOST hateful humans in Nigeria who hate every other part for any and every reason? There is the ANSWER!

amakenny: But has WS any excuse for not attending CA's funeral?

"I do not pander to the expectations of the sanctimonious. I can absent myself from any event, for reasons that are personal to me. I can absent myself as the result of a mundane domestic situation, as legitimately as from a visceral rejection of occupancy of the same space, at the same time, in the same cause, with certain other participants. I may absent myself for the very reason of my disdain for that breed which is certain to cavil at the very fact of my absence. Such specimens pollute the very space they claim to honour. Sputter and rage they may, but even the most illustrious of that ilk cannot control that choice, neither will they be permitted free passage to encroach upon, and abuse the private spaces of human responsiveness."

I have massive respect for Soyinka. He's the greatest Nigerian alive today and has brought great honour to this country and fought for the people. I don't understand what anyone would have against him really.

WS should just move on. Nigeria defies logic.

No that's not what he said, that's what you feel.

Soyinka is too big for his words to be spun for sectionalist fodder.

Like emotional parasites, YOU feed off others, but YOU have never learnt to value what others give, or be thereby nourished. I recognize YOU, atavistic minds. Don't inseminate hate against those whom YOUR pedestrian vision cannot see. (Wole Soyinka, this intelligence of urs is spiritual! I love you)

The advancement of this man in deploying grammatical constructs makes me doubt if anybody can equal him. May you live long.

The choice to
participate or not, however, belongs to
each individual, including even those
who arrogate to themselves the mission
of imposing on others their own
preferred mode of bidding farewell.

Wole Soyinka tells a man to go to hell in a way that he looks forward to the trip. oohh dayam it!!

''AS A TEACHER'', I lament YOUR
failure to use the opportunity of the
passing of a revered writer to turn YOUR
younger generation in enlightened
directions. YOU have chosen instead to
coarsen their sensibilities and breed in
their minds misunderstanding, suspicion
and above all – hate!
YOU will have understood by now how I
have come to view YOU as no different
from the homicidal clerics who arm
youths with kerosene and match, cudgel
and knife, a few Naira in their beggars’
bowls, and dispatch them to set fire to
structures of comradely cohabitation, of
reflection, of mind enlargement, and
destroy communities of learning.

We have a saying, “If
you’re digging yourself into a hole, the first thing you need to do is stop digging."

YOUR gospel of separatism goes beyond the geographical – in which I have not the slightest interest! – but the humanistic.
The means:– Internet, and its wide open,undiscriminating generosity. That is where YOU lay spores of poison, and
doom future generations to a
confinement of human relationships
within the darkest corners of the mind.
YOU are beyond pity.

All these posters above pretend they understand a thing about what WS said. They are just loafing, pretending to understand and nodding their heads recurrently like agama (remember Dbanj's laughable interview with Jona? ). My best bet is, they don't understand a fraction of what it is in that write-up they keep quoting repeatedly.

Infinity likes!

From all indication, Wole Soyinka is talking to one man. Read this_________________________________Dove-Edwin
had received communication that some
of “Chinua’s people” – A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR among them, WHO WAS NAMED
– had pronounced publicly that “Chinua
should have known better than to accept a spotless ram from his enemy” – yes, that was the word used – “enemy”. I verified this report from various other
sources.

From the day the young people go to the
induction center (Nairaland), their life changes.

Yes! And he actually said the man's name in his last interview (which was also posted on nairaland).

my friend, education is lackin in some of those who pontificate. You've assumed a condescendin posture to midwife an infant entity. You are beyond pity.

oh really? Who is the man pls? Av nt seen d interview.

No wonder Soyinka kept referring to the internet. He's got his own blog!

Although I think Soyinka is also speaking generally, but I think this is his primary target.

u tink everyone is as dull as u?

You may have been ill advised that you imbibe wrong perception of presumed enemy.

But history will condemn those who do not see the opportunity to finding a peaceful solution to ending the unhealthy tribal competition before it is too late.

Its a pity that some ppl are lost to the poison. Mind you many were indoctrinated into the cult of hatred by their parents. Nairaland is just a mere outlet for them

My brother, when did I tell u I was angry @Chinua Achebe's work? Maybe in ur dream! Lol!

See how WS was able to place these people where they rightfully belong without them being able to decipher. If they had, they would have infested this thread long time ago.

wellmax: Its worth the time to read

Truly worth the time to read.
