This list lacks credibility because the No Author in Nigeria did not even make the list... Its no other person than CYPRIAN EKWENSI. That man is the bomb.. I have read most of the authors being discussed here but this man takes No 1 position. Trouble in Form 6. Juju Rock. The Passport of Mallam Illia. The Boy Slave. The Drummer Boy. Forget all the hype about litrature books used compulsrily in school. Cyprian book were suspensful, imaginative and insanely good. He is 1 helluva writer. Chai Naija no get authors again. Good old days 3 Likes |

I seriously need to buy some of these old novels for my library. They are evergreen as far as I'm concerned. Things fall apart Arrow of God The concubine The gods are not to blame Passport of mallam iliya Joys of motherhood e.t.c I really don't care about the authors, I'm more interested in the content. Achebe's use of words however makes him stand out for me. |

ElZionista: The world fell for it at the time it came. For one thing, it was a brave novel and a tragedy. The first of its kind in Africa. In my post, I said he was lucky to have published it at the time he did. And for your information, it was easier to get published in those days than now so stop all this childish attitude of asking for the achievements of those who say their minds about certain authors. We can't all be lucky. I have read the novel (Things Fall Apart) a couple of times and there was nothing extraordinary about it. I studied it in my first year at college. A lot of my European friends barely read it to the end. They had heard so much about it but after reading it, they were disappointed. Nothing special. |
