It's pathetic to read some posts here which are nothing but kenspeckle display of ignorance in a public forum. It's wise to research before posting comment.

Adichie is an outstanding writer and making waves in her trade as a wordsmith. WS has made his mark and they are indelible. No need to compare but if you must compare, you should know that for every junior, there is a senior. And for every child, there are parents (donors). She is still upcoming where WS is, and she is part of the now and the future.

Adichie is still climbing, she would never denigrate the achievements of WS, at least not openly.

How old are you?
Soyinka has over 40 and stopped receiving since 2018. The highest award for any profession in the world is Noble prize. There is no basis for comparison between the two. The other is too small here her senior is. But , again she is a genius. I must admit this.

Oversabi, what's Noble Prize??πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

What do you mean by level?
Cause presently the level of respect she commands outside the shores of Nigeria I'm sorry to say these prof soyinka can't do that

Whole Soyinka is a great man.
Most of these kids in nairaland were not born when he was imprisoned for 22 months because of Biafra matter.
Unfortunately,most never read the history.

Are we all mxd must will always speak about culture, religion or tribe. why this daily quote "they oppose us because we are not part of their region" " We are supporting him/her because is the our own very son of this soil"

must we relate, analysis, or interpret other people's opinion on the ground of region or race.

Adesanya won this week, he displayed Nigeria flag not as yoruba, S. Chukwueze scored the equaliser goal in first half and winning goal against Madrid the commentator The commentator named all the Nigerian football legends he could remember to acknowledge exceptional impact of him as a Nigerian not as any tribe.

We have a different aims
while Our leaders aim are the same to rule us by rotational policy from father to son. Governor to Minister ot President, Commissioner to Governor. 23 years in power etc.
Have any Nigerian arrested in diaspora regarded as a specific tribe rather, 'Nigerian caught with this or that'

She is our daughter na, is that much for you. Kemi Adeosun is your daughter as well.

Amanda and a renowned cultist are incomparable.

Soyink that enters bush to do oath with boys in the name of pyrate confra.

That's degrading.

She is a great woman no doubt. But somebody who has won noble prize which is the highest in any profession cannot be envious. The person you referred as a cultist has over 40 honorary degrees and refused to accept any new one since 2018.
The iconic Prof Wole Soyinka was in the legitimate campus fraternity
Pirates Fraternity when he was a student of UI and it was NOT a "pseudo fraternity"/violent campus gang or what these bigoted kids and simpletons are wrongly calling cultists which started manifesting in the early 1980s.

In major Universities worldwide, fraternities are legitimate and many world leaders such as the former POTUS George W. Bush where members of fraternities while on campus.

In UI back in the day, the school authority knew about the existence of Wole Soyinka and his other
friends open membership of the harmless Pirates Fraternity because membership was legal on campus just like on other major campuses worldwide.

That's the major reason why he came out of school with a 3rd class degree.

Honourary degrees are as useless as the paper on which it is written. You can not use honourary degrees for job placement or ranking.

I hope our eboe friends understand this have peace of mind. Salamander does not read or do any work to obtain.

For wole Soyinka, anything that has a beginning must have an end hence, he's getting closer to that place and his expressions are now transcendental.
