Intellectuals.. People who learnt, understood and mastered the art of writing.. Not the many mediocre we see these days. Because someone can tell blatant tales to his friends he feels he's a qualified author. Someone who doesn't understand a thing about literature or the performing arts.. Imagine a medical doctor writing a novel. Terrible. Modified: Many people have replied this post with very terrible words. Lol. I don't blame them. Obviously they can't read. My stance is on learning the art of writing. It's not just studying literature in English or any of that thing. But understanding that writing is an art and should be paid attention to. Not just because you have one funny story you just feel you have a right to pen it down. 45 Likes 9 Shares |

Soyinka in his old age has become a caricature of his younger self. Cavorting with corrupt APC politicians and betrayed the memory of his friend Achebe by refusing to attend his burial and arrogantly abusing those who called his hypocrisy out. 25 Likes 4 Shares |

slimfit1: You are too quick to throw hate into this discussion....If you know you can share. All the while Achebe was alive we never knew of any rancour between them. Soyinka we know never hid his feelings but after his "friend" died he showed his true colours 7 Likes |

nku5:My friend, you use "friend" too loosely. They could just be acquaintance. Don't forget they were still literary rivals. Although if it was an healthy one or not is what we can't say. Only both of them can say what truly transpired between them. They too don't share the day to day happenings in their life on the media. They could just have grown apart. There is nothing like hypocrisy or betrayal. After all we don't have pictures of them sharing meals or attending each others family functions to know how close they were 8 Likes |
