Wole Soyinka's writing style is a bit more complex to the ordinary eye as compared to Chinua's style of simplicity and imagery. Both geniuses in their own right! 1 Like |

Naijaguy123:He left and never wanted to come back because your country was nothing to right home about.. mind you, he was bestowed national honours twice here in Nigeria but he rejected them, my man was not happy with the spate of corruption here. he'd have soiled his legacy and reputation if he'd associated with Nigerian politics, ask Soyinka 5 Likes 1 Share |

vVera:Hmmmmm..... I didn't abuse him. And I never abused you. So why this? You want to know my achievements? Easy to know. Search my FB profile with my monika. And you, "What are your achievements?" Sorry sweetheart. Pray you achieve half the things I have achieved. |

Joshmodest: 'Thibgs Fall Apart' opened my eyes in regards to Igbo culture. I now understood why the Igbos are an ambitious people. No one wants to be an efulefu, a man who leaves his machete at home and comes to war with only the sheath. 6 Likes |

Naijaguy123: Hate is really a strong thing. The things I see here makes me wonder. This is a photo of two literary icons and all that comes to your mind is this hatred. Something is really wrong somewhere. Wole soyinka is based where?? Did you know the history of achebe? prior to the civil war? Why can't you apprecaite the photo and leave? Why are some of you so blinded by the hate for igbo people. I feel sorry for some of you. What did we do to you people. Kai 3 Likes 1 Share |

Naijaguy123:how d f wud he giv a f... working in a country that never worked. If he was here he won't have achieved as he did. The likes of Chukwuemeka Ike that stayed back and even became a registrar in a university are barely whispered and you just stay here and be talking anyhow. |

Naijaguy123: So you wanted him to leave a well paid professorial chair, a good life and the respect and recognition he enjoys in America to come back to your backward Nigeria that cannot boast of steady power supply, to come and die of suffering and poverty? Chinua Achebe was too smart for that 1 Like 1 Share |
