Son, you're so ignorant. Oputa panel was commissioned and empowered by the FG for reconciliation purposes. Justice Oputa could not have done anything on his own without the Govt empowering it.

Only to wake up and Focus his energy on Datti/LP/. embarassed

Is this NOT madness, Honestly? 😕
I don't know if your eyes just glazed over this, but LegendHero already pointed out that all of this is a lie, just a few comments before yours. What is more, this same Wole Soyinka that you and Charlie Boy are pouring out such venom over is the man who was thrown in prison and served 25 months in solitary confinement - far worse than the already terrible prison experience - for his attempts to broker a ceasefire during the Biafran War. When have any of Soyinka's Igbo critics ever made a sacrifice of similar magnitude? How many of those carelessly projecting their own tribal chauvinism on the man could have gone through such an ordeal without going mad?

It's irritating enough to see blatantly false and self-serving accusations of "Igbophobia" and the like thrown around simply because others dare to take a different view, but seeing the character of one of Nigeria's only true heroes routinely besmirched by clannish sore-losers is particularly galling, especially because Soyinka stood up for the Igbo cause when the likes of Azikiwe were safely abroad, and the envious Achebe - unlike Soyinka - never once stuck out his neck for anyone other than his own people.

Of course. I lost respect for the old fool the moment I discerned that he was just another rodent in Tinubu's cookie room. The idiot whose voice of condemnation was very loud against the Jonathan administration somehow retreated into his shell and became deaf and dumb throughout Buhari's disastrous 8 years of sorrow.

Now after a sham election has supposedly produced a bloody thief and drug baron as president, the useless Soyinka has found his voice again, not in condemnation of the election or of the disreputable criminal that was dubiously pronounced winner, but against the people yearning for a change. Obedients are repugnant fascists and he is ready to do a debate with Datti, but he conveniently has nothing to say about INEC, Tinubu, and the APC. This is the final straw.

Nothing new. Most ibos are that way. Their hatred for Soyinka didn't start today. They always hated him for outshining that bigoted Achebe. Besides, isn't this the same Charlie ediot that was recently accused of pedophilia?

See your Ignorance in Full Display. embarassed

Chinua Achebe's THINGS FALL APART is Translated and read in 60 Nations across the World. shocked cool
Even Germans still Read the Book till Today. 🙂

His novel, Chike and the River, was read in Kenya, Uganda and many East African countries for Many years,
as their Basic School Supplementary book.

He is BIGGER than Soyinka, Plz. smiley
People watch porn more than anything on the internet
People eat more McDonalds than anything else does not make it good or healthy
from your logic porn is BIGGER than anything since it is The most popular thing on The internet

The truth is literature is not commercial writing otherwise James Hadley Chase and Jackie Collins would win Nobel prizes
Things Fall Apart was nothing spectacular literally.
It is a good read at the level of secondary school level.
What is the summary of Things Fall apart?Have you read it?
It's appeal was it was A FIRST.
Published at a time when no one has published anything out of Africa and the world wanted to see what Africa had to offer.
Nigerian government promoted it by using it's influence to make it compulsory reading for WAEC across West Africa
. Books were read across Africa in the post colonial era because the Nigerian government promoted them. Secondary school level writing is what Achebe was good at.
Soyinka wrote plays. He is a playwright like Shakespeare as well as a poet. He is not primarily a novelist. His plays have been performed at the Natiional Theatre in London. Literature is not just about novels
So.if you want to talk Nobel Prize in literature for the last 20 years do not look for the author of Harry Potter,Robert Ludlum ,Jackie Collins etc
Look for INTELLECTUAL works

Ben Okri,Christopher Okigbo and many other Nigerians have published much greater works than Achebe who wrote for children

Achebe was great. In fact, very great. But he couldn't achieve half of what Soyinka achieves in their line of business. Only an idiot would compare both of them. You find a match for WS when you see a prolific, successful and well know author who excels in writing drama, prose, Poetry, essays and theories. Achebe wrote only prose, the moment he dabbled into poetry, he flopped.

Shhhhh. Achebe achieved more than Soyinka. The Nobel Laureatte given to Soyinka was fake. It was given by the Lagos- Ibadan ewedu press. This internet age has exposed their lies.

To those comparing both Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe just to make out one is better than the other, please stop. The greatness of one doesn't lesson the greatness of the other.

They are both eminent Nigerians that should be respected for their achievements in putting the country on the world map.

People should see the hypocrisy of the Ibo people.

They will lie that they are supporting Obi not because of tribe but yet anytime a Yoruba man speak against their candidate, they start accusing the person of tribalism and etc.

Why did Charley boy compare Soyinka to Achebe if not for tribalism? The hateful Chimamanda also mentioned he supported Obi because he is Ibo but if a Yoruba man says that we won’t hear word online again.

In all this, I’ve not seen the useless Falz and Marcaroni come out to condemn this assault on our living legend, but the useless guys will be online to cry about tribalism when a Yoruba celeb give it to these guys hot.

Chimanda supported Obi cos he is Igbo
Ojiakor supported because they would get seaport
Charleyboy supported to have one over yorubas which failed as usual

These are those that have confessed openly, the ones that haven't are now attacking yorubas as a people as a tip of their intentions



Igbo hatred for Yorubas is hereditary. Even Abiola lost in South east in 1993.

Why I love God is that he always make Yoruba triumph, we have bested the Ibos in all strata of achievement if we go head to head.

Below is Prof. Wole Soyinka telling the world how embarrassed he was on the kind of envy and hatred Achebe showed when he won the Nobel Laureate.

Soyinka is more of just a novel writer, he is an icon. A million Achebe can not measure up to him.
