Individual achievement in a foreign country can never take us anywhere. Pray for another first in Africa like the 60s and first in the world so that blacks can be respected everywhere. |

Bossjakande: Why not? You think I'm as tribal as you are or you think I'm not a Yoruba person? So I shouldn't be happy or congratulate him if he's from another tribe? People like you are one of Nigeria's problems. Fucking tribalist! SMH! Old somebody that should be correcting me if I'm the one spewing tribalist trash is the one evening looking for tribal wahala as if disunity pays them a bunch. 2 Likes |

LazyGold: Congratulations to the young man! If we hold on to the treasure God has blessed us with , we would amaze the world, Yoruba is sent with art and literally gifts to the world as the white are blessed with science. The greatest mistake we would make is to deny our kids the privilege of learning our mother's tongue 3 Likes |

Mace0lane: Three igbos was also mentioned amoung the writers making Nigeria proud. Incase u don't see it, read well ok |

Mace0lane: Read this Nigerian writers in different genres of literature have been persistently pushing the limits of creative writing. Ben Okri, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Nnedi Okorafor and several other young writers from Nigeria have shown through their works that another Nobel Prize may just be around the bend.

World Fantasy Award Edit Shortly after winning The World Fantasy Award in 2011, Okorafor published an essay "Lovecraft's racism & The World Fantasy Award statuette, with comments from China Miéville", in which she reflected upon her conflicting emotions on winning an award in the shape of a large silver bust of H.P. Lovecraft. Okorafor would later voice her support for Daniel José Older's 2014 petition[35] to replace the Lovecraft bust with one of Octavia Butler. In this piece, she acknowledges both the literary legacy of Lovecraft and his continued influence in the contemporary world of science fiction: Do I want "The Howard" (the nickname for the World Fantasy Award statuette. Lovecraft's full name is "Howard Phillips Lovecraft" replaced with the head of some other great writer? Maybe. Maybe it's about that time. Maybe not. What I know I want is to face the history of this leg of literature rather than put it aside or bury it. If this is how some of the great minds of speculative fiction felt, then let's deal with that ... as opposed to never mention it or explain it away.[35] Awards Edit 2005 – The Strange Horizons Reader's Choice Award for Stephen King's Super-Duper Magical Negroes[24] 2007 – 2008 – Macmillan Writers' Prize for Africa for Long Juju Man[36] 2008 – Carl Brandon Parallax Award for The Shadow Speaker[37] 2008 – The Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature for Zahrah the Windseeker[38] 2012 – The 2012 Black Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Literature (Fiction) for Zahrah the Windseeker[39] 2012 – Kindred Award for Who Fears Death[37] 2011 – The World Fantasy Award (Best Novel) for Who Fears Death[37] 2016 – The Nebula Award (Best Novella) for Binti[40] 2016 – Children's Africana Book Award for Best Book for Young Readers for Chicken in the Kitchen[41] 2016 – The Hugo Award for Best Novella for Binti[42] |

How is that my problem. I am here to beat my chest for the winner not the nominees. Like I said earlier Yoruba Amaka ! I seriously don’t know what you are both wailing about, I see Igbos celebrate their achievements on NL everyday n if I can’t rejoice with them I simply shut it. Why your father will rather wail at the success of another man instead rejoicing or shutting up is beyond what I can comprehend. ezegenigbonine: ezegenigbonine: |
