standd: Too Nigerian? I am sure you are familiar with the African writer series. They wrote like Africans and it did not stop them from becoming popular. Achebe wrote like a Nigerian, and his book, Things fall apart is in my school's library People like her who probably change every thing African about them if they had a chance to leave Africa.

standd: I get you, standd. I'm a critic. I look at your work now, and if i were to critique it, I'll score it way below par. For general amusement, maybe, just maybe your writing is okay. I actually do read your stuff, and some others on NL here. Don't let what the general audience tell you blind you. Most of them judge your work with bias, and that's not good. You can probably do way better than this and that's what you should aspire to. And for me sha, Chimamanda does not set the standard. I can count female writers way better than her. You, my friend, though don't come any close to being one of them. #nohardfeelings. 1 Like |

Justfollowit: Achebe wrote for a broad audience. Literature appeals way beyond borders and it takes an extra step to "sell" your stories to others who aren't aware of it. Writing with emoticons here and there though or with a dialogue lacking in flow and breadth does not qualify as broad literature. |

goofyone: You are right If you critique my work, you will score it as YOU want....Since I do not write to suit your taste. But then, if I write 'better' than this, who will read? You don't need to tell me you don't live in Nigeria, I know already Just this morning, I was chatting with a friend and we still talked about the 'ridiculous' reading culture of Nigerians. Originally, I am a poet but please out of 1 ,000 Nigerians, only about 10 know what poetry is( not that they appreciate it ) So you see, most time I write so people can read and not coz I want to beat any standard. 2 Likes |

goofyone: No please, she is just stating her view. @justfollowit, I can't even change just yet cos my Country have not attained the reading culture of the people that made Chimamanda popular. 2 Likes 1 Share |

goofyone: Mtcheww Your criticism was based on how her writing is too Nigerian What you are trying to explain now is that using emoticons and dialogue lacking in flow is a Nigerian thing, isn't it? 1 Like |

standd:I disagree I have read some really good western books and yet there were criticisms on their sentences construction, grammar etc Things fall apart was written by a Nigerian and it had every bit of Nigerianess in it 1 Like |

goofyone:How can I be polite to someone who started his criticisms with ‘your writing is too Nigerian'. If you had stated what you wrote afterwards, there would have been no complaint. It is an insult to label a writing too Nigerian, Standd deserves an apology from you 1 Like |

standd: So, in effect, you don't want to pull your audience up. You prefer to leave them in the 'ridiculousness' that they are, and instead feed them amusement writing from your pedestal? |

Even Ishilove says she likes me write-ups As for my audience, they read cos they choose to read, they can as well go to buy Chimamanda's books or whoever you have in mind.

goofyone: This is how you criticize people and drag them down to nothing. I don't come close to them, but I will carve my Niche wherever and however I like. I will not climb my ladder from the top, this is my own beginning. Let me be, whether I fail or soar, it is really my call. I am just being polite to you. You are not the first to denigrate without lifting up, and you won't be the last. My thread on 'Women and Self sufficiency' was rife with a Nler who came to compare my grammar with that of her NL friend, who can write grammar for Africa So, I should pack up and shut up so that your own 'friends' will reign supreme.

Miss.Standd, I must say I am intimidated or in this case abashed. You have inspired something in me today. I used to think writing excellently with so much skill,enough to cobble dogs with was an academic franchise enjoyed only by people who are majoring in literature or any related course. However,as I read through this excellent piece, it was apparent that it's not for literary intellects alone. I think it's about time I sought mentorship. Hopefully I will be where you're today someday. Feels nice seeing a physicist write like this. I am a budding physicist. Thanks once again,miss.Standd! 2 Likes |
