Fifa still recognizes Pele as the GOAT today. That's also how the world sees Achebe as the GOAT in african literature.
See all the articles posted previously on this thread as proof, simple.
How does that remove the award from Messi. Messi was not playing during Pele time. And yes, he's one of the GOAT like others but does not stop Messi from being greater. Achebe was still active when small woke Soyinka won the award. They saw your Achebe there. Ofcourse, they will recognize him but the fact is that his work does not merit the Nobel award. That is the fact you have to deal with. No amount of wailing can change the fact.

Funny how you igbos hype someone and say the world, do you mean osu world. World is different from world.

And that was the only list you saw from the post abi and if even if it is dominated by politicians why would Achebe always come before or rank higher than our Nobel winner Wole Soyinka.

That Sikiru Adepoju won a Grammy doesn't make him the greatest musician from Nigeria, in the same vein that Soyinka won the Nobel prize doesn't make him the greatest literary mind from Africa.

In all these lists, Achebe ranked higher than Soyinka, why? Even if some might not be in a defined order, why must his name be mentioned first before Soyinka.


Harry Potter is more popular than any book written by Shakespeare. Does that make J.K Rowling a better writer than Shakespeare?

Achebe became a failure when he was not good enough for the Nobel Prize.Bet he is been wailing in his grave just like his brethrens have continued to wail since his demise.

Soyinka was just too developed than Achebe who was just a story teller..

Achebe is not a failure. He was a great writer and one of the best Africa has produced. But formal awards are the official hallmarks of achievements in life. Wole Soyinka therefore will always be ranked above Achebe for having won the Nobel prize for literature. It is a measure of the self-destructive inferiority complex of Igbos, manifesting in the silly dick comparison exercise they carry out daily online against Yorubas, that they have to drag the name of Achebe in the mud like this, by claiming he is greater than Soyinka, to the extent Yorubas may be inadvertently mean reminding them that formal awards rank superior in the annals of history above opinionated accolades.

Igbos, by their own unbridled hubris, only succeed at making a fool of their own great men. When Nations like Ghana, Cameroon, Gambia, Benin et al cannot even boast of one Ben Okri we are fighting who is greater when we have the greatest literary giants in African history in Soyinka and Achebe because Igbos will simply not give credit where due and must always seek to justify the tag "I go/gain before others". IGBO.
