Even the oyibo that gave him the nobel prize call Achebe the father of African literature.
His books are read in any and every western country on earth as a reference point.

An Ethiopian politician just won the Nobel prize this month. It doesn't mean he and Achebe are now mates in this world.

Please tell me the oyibo that called achebe the father of literature

Greatest without any accolades?.Baba stick to your village meeting.The Nobel prize is the highest honour in academics or scientific advances.I think I would take that over some meaningless title that has no bearing like “the father of African literature”

Makuos19:

The name of the oyibo??

yoruba should stop embarrassing themselve..


dragging legend with this people is a total insult

Officialgarri:
I so much idolize Prof. Wole Soyinka (Cpt. *****)



This thread is not meant for you.. You have not even seen a single book of his talk more of reading it.

The guy is just talking rubbish from his potopoto mouth....

Here we go again with foolish Igbo talking nonsense as always.
The 53 paged books earned him the noble laurel award while the foolish and bigot Achebe as only foolishness to show for his lifetime of bigotry. Achebe should proceed to hellfire where he rightly deserve as Igbo bigot.

Osagyefo98:
More like a writer true to her pen and a literature political professor pictured together.

Soyinka should just enter into politics and stop pretending. All his books are hardly more than 53 pages or thereabout.

Are you Igbo ?

I went to nobel Laureate site and I did not find any book from Chinua Achebe n Aditchie.
Only Wole Soyinka book were standing tall like an Iroko three that is unshakable.

WeRblessed:
I went to Bernes and Nobles looking for Wole Soyinka"s book but didn't see a single one. All I saw on the 2nd floor among other authors were Chinua Achebe"s there was a country and things fall apart, including Afrikana from this lady called chimamanda. I don't think our African authors are marketing themselves well, because we have a lot of them in Africa. Maybe because a lot of Africans especially Nigerians don't read books. Most of them read the bible and their pastors inspired books. So funny to say the least.

lol
Go to any western website that talks about achebe.
The first thing you would see is that.

If the most translated writer in African history is not the father, I don't know who is.

mysteryman2014:

He won a Nobel prize for peace same as an Iraqi girl.
Doesn't make him the most peaceful man in Africa.

Same with Soyinka.

chimamanda news can sweet me....chai

Abeg shutup how many people know toni Morrison yet she is a noble laureate

We are saying the same thing.
Nobel is just an award, just like any other award.
It doesn't make the rest of the world bow to you.
True greatness transcends it.

Oga forget this long story and tell me the name of the oyibo that called him Father of african literature

lolz.... all dt one is fable.
The day u see a thousand orpi-iweka monkey post goals recognized above just one EPL goal, then we can talk. As for now, I'll let u wallow in self-consolation.

Chinua Achebe book is studied in high schools and colleges in America.
Even chimmanda books are now becoming doctrine.

I know Soyinka is the greatest from Yoruba land, but sorry, people don pass am.

Kennyswagz1:

The same oyibos that enlisted things fall apart as a mandatory study text in high schools and colleges of America.

You are just talking nonsense.. Toni Morrison is also a nobel laurette but are works are not that popular.. will you now say achebe is better than Toni morrison

I didn't mention better. Art is.subjective.

My emphasis was on impact and greatness.

Tony Morrison may be a Nobel winner just like hundreds of winners like him.

But you can bet that he does not have as much impact and global acclaim like the great Achebe.

so going by your logic now, achebe is better Toni Morrison because she didn't write a book that is as popular as things fall apart..

Lol you are still arguing.. if you don't know, the nobel prize is not given base on popularity but base on one masterpiece...soyinka is the only afican with such a masterpiece.. reason why his books are difficult to understand...

did you just call nobel just an award FYI the nobel prize is the higest prize you will ever receive in your field.. soyinka is the only african to have won it in the academic field, other Africans have only won it for peace..
