abu12: @ One_Naira, thank God you didn't finish reading it, how did you come to conclusion that WS see CA as his enemy. Stop spewing rubbish if you can't comprehend

TouchDown: This thread must not make front page. The likes of Ola Johnson, One_Naira, Raphead are exactly the type WS has taken to the cleaners with this fantastic piece and under 3 pages, they've come true to form. Everyday I see that father of literature thread expand, I'm disgusted and amazed at the sheer negative energy.

This shyte is old. Refrain from bigotry. Its a poison!

Oh no! I've been talking to eggheaders all this while. Smallie first of all the rapper is known as Common not "commons". I will school you on hip hop later not now

You are a mixed bag of puppy like enthusiasm, sheepish followership and lack of polish. If you were not talking about NL then why did u bring up Soyinka's words in the context of a NL thread on father of literature I ask you again, did you see ME in "Father of African Literature" thread? Abi u pick skunk for ground this morning on the way your farm?

If you want know people who are victims of indoctrination via the internet, you should start with a look in the mirror. Soyinka is talking about ppl like u and if you think otherwise because he's your tribesman then I'm genuinely sorry for you. Like the weasel you are you must be happy you can spin Soyinka's words.

If you think he's pointing fingers at an entire ethnic group then grow a pair and stand on it. Hiding behind crap rap lyrics can't save you.

slowpoke that cannot read trying to teach. see oxymoron. let me say it as slowly since your ignorant can't comprehend what i said. WS accused CA of hating on his noble prize award. a statement that cannot be verified other than WS saying. now once more WS accused CA of another hate filled statement;he, CA, denyed him, WS, access to visit him, CA after the accident because he, CA, saw him, WS, as an enemy that caused him, CA, his accident. once more another wild accusation that nothing can verify. only a hate filled pretender would come out and accuse an innocent man of things that cannot be verified. If your @ss can't read between the lines, i sure can. Go thank your literature teacher for wasting your time.

Ola Johnson:
Them mark register for CA burial? WS never said CA was jealous of his winning the Nobel Laurete; rather it was CA that said WS shouldn't see himself as the "Asiwaju" of African literature, and WS replied that he had no intention of being the "Ogbuefi" of African literature. Why on earth should any reasonable person, a professor for that matter, say WS' gift of ram to CA caused his accident?

These self-righteous clerics are dangerous beings, especially where they flaunt the credentials of secular learning and gather in caucuses of presumed Humanities. From the herd, the mindless Internet fiddlers for whom the landing of a planetary probe, or a medical breakthrough is simply distraction from fraudulent internet mailing, nothing less is expected. What menaces the collective health of society is when the deserving highs of intellectual application of the former, become indistinguishable from the loutish low of the latter.

Gbawe: I think it needs to be stated that Woles Soyinka is not targeting Igbos, or any ethnic group for that matter, with his utterance. Wole Soyinka's message should be very clear to those who can read what is written and assimilate it dispassionately without sectional or ethnocentric preponderance.

Especially discernible is Soyinka's frustration and disappointment that even the highest level of education attainable has not cured some people of unobjective, unneeded and ugly prejudice.

Overall, Soyinka is getting across the precise message that it is difficult, whatever a man does, to please those who are determined to be prejudiced, clannish , unwilling to be charitable towards others and obsessed with the notion of maintaining senseless enmity and rancour against them.

bokohalal: No one in Nigeria spoke up more for Biafra during the Civil war than WS. Yet, the internet and opinions in newspapers by bitter minds would make you sometimes think twice about being altruistic.
I personally think tribalism is our biggest problem and not corruption.

Must you post 10 times smallie. Walahi you can't rap and you don't know diddly about hip hop. Don't make me take u to the music section and murder you this morning.

Whatever you saw when you took a canoe down river niger in 1908 is your bowl of porridge. You are a bigot. I schooled in a federal govt college in the east and there many yoruba boys there who can risk my life for and vice versa till today. You must have been rolling with low-lives when u were in the east.

Now you spend MB's and hours generally insulting people of an ethnicity and you really think you are well in the mind?

wellmax:

My favorite paragraph, but who's WS referring too na?

the double post thing is due to bad network. on your challenge am taking it up let meet at the music section. who cares where you school and who choose to roll with. loads of good igbos no doubt about that. but this internet warriors and their counterparts in real life needs to be cast to the w.c where they all belong.

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.

lawbabs: Waoh! I can't help but trip for this man. He is too deep and advance for this society called Naija. Really!

wellmax: Soyinka made his point known clear and loud, without resorting to verbal direct abuse. I think we should take a cue from that. BTW, CA is gone, WS is aging, are there any replacement for these intellectuals.
