Nobody from your lineage has ever won community stick, more of international accolade.

Only a Ipob separatist will write this crap against my community, one he doesn't know. Even if we havent won anything, at least we dont have baby factories there..

Literarily, Igbos are best in Nigerian. Very far ahead the others. Wole Soyinka is overrated. I've never enjoyed any of his quack.

I believe there are awards like that in Nigeria, just that they(the awards) are not internationally recognised. The Hugo awards didn't start today, when it started it wasn't a "global thing" but they had to evolve, grow and develop. There's still hope for for Nigeria

I'm sure if she was not an Igbo woman the Hugo award would have been big in your muumoo eyes. First it was about Chimamanda being the most boring writer to Nnedi's award not being prestigious enough for you.....you need to slow down on the hate.

Every African tribe does juju. Especially yours who are ready to do anything for money both physical and diabolical.
