Why do they keep insulting this man with all these parapo awards when he should be receiving the Nobel?

My favorite Nigerian writer. I really enjoy Achebe's style.

Great man

ROSSIKE:

Why do they keep insulting this man with all these parapo awards when he should be receiving the Nobel?

The Nobel Prize has not been zoned to Africa. Last year was France (I think), this year was Poland. Besides, the prize will not dignify Achebe, rather Achebe will dignify the prize.

Do they zone Nobel prizes again. Wetin I no fit hear in Nairaland?

Na wa o!

A well deserved award for an accomplished writer. this was a man that rejected a national honours award by OBJ. Am really inspired by this great writer.
