She was asked, why she was not shortlisted. She went into a diatribe by belittling the organizers, the writers that were shorlisted and those that look-up to her. She didn't even have the grace to answer the question. So the Prize that she won are the only1 that matters. Mtcheew. 1 Like |

Well she may not be that bad! We all don't understand this 'why not me'syndrome! Been in touch with her, she sounds nice anyway. |

Personally, imo winning prizes shouldnt be the primary motivation of a writer, however i do understand people dont want to not have financial gain either. |

braveheart2012: This thread is yet another prime example of colonized Nigerian minds at work tearing each other apart. That country can't see progress, I swear it. And she did submit her work to be considered for the Caine Prize a while back, do you remember that? |

homesteady:Yes of course she does. The tone of arrogance in her speech is too evident. I don't know what usually come upon all these overnight celebrity of hours today. Why should you shatter a fellow writer like yourself. |

JIGHU:Abegggi, where are you guys getting these your informations from. And by the way if I may ask you, how many African fiction have you read? For you to come at such unrealistic conclusion. Have you sampled other writers in Nigeria and Africa? |

kokoA:You're right bro. She has been over-hyped. |

Chanchit:Big time bro. She has fallen so many folk's hand. |

slap1:I think you're very right. Adiche, Soyinka and Achebe have all been hyped and most Nigerians tend not to see the possibility of better brain than these sets. The Author of Joy of motherhood, I meant Buchi Emecheta is another nigerian writer we can reckon with. I think her works too are off the hook. |
