Lets Compare Constructively Between Prof Ayodele Awojobi And Prof Chinua Achebe

One is globally recognized as one of the world’s most outstanding novelists and intellectuals while the other is the inventor of Autonov1.

House any other similarity or dis-similarity between the two?

You mean compare between a poet and engineer? Sometimes I wonder about the sanity of many of you re-tards on NL.



Isn't the most logical and sensible thing to do is to compare a poet with another poet (Though I'll never compare both because they are great men and national treasures) like say Wole Shoyinka And Chinua Achebe. One received a Nobel prize and the other though equally great, but is yet to receive the same recognition.


When you people because of your low self esteem and insecurities bring up these destructive and needless arguments, you end up tarnishing the image and prestige of these great men.


Don't start what you can not finish.

As much as I'm tempted to oblige this fool, I will hold my peace on this one. I have nothing against Chinua Achebe.

Gents if you dont have a constructive comparism to make, "Bleep off".

Before i forget, one just rejected for the second time a National Honor from Nigerian government.

while the other begged all his life for one but did not get any before he passed on.

Waiting for more constructive comparison from u guys.

@op guy, lock this thread, there is no basis for comparing an engineer to a novelist nor would such ethnically based comparisms going to improve our lifes a notch. Achebe himself would consider this thread silly

[b]Ileke, I do not have any beef with you nor anyone on this forum; so please stay out of it. When we ask for you opinion, don't worry though I won't be needing it, nevertheless, I might consider asking for it, Till then, I reserve EVERY RIGHT under the FORUM rules to post when I need to. grin grin grin grin

I replied a post like I wanted to without making any reference to anyone but a link; your one-side lens didn't allow you to see how he quoted me with dyslexia, besides, if you followed through on the previous post, you would have seen how I have requested that him "Aigbofa", I wasn't interested in arguing with him, and told him to stay away, yet, he followed me on two threads, now u see why I said I wasn't seeking his attention. Did I ask him to insult Achebe? Did I insult his inventor when others did?

I don't even know why I'm explaining jack to you but look, please stay away from things that you know nothing about. Don't always jump into a scenario that you know nothing about, first ask questions before you start condemning, shocked shocked shocked[/b]

Such a principled Icon should not be ridicule with unworthy comparism and his rejection of the award has once again proven his true patriotism and sympathy for perpetual electoral and economic failure of the state Nigeria.

op think deeply and see how foolish you are!

the worst is that the people you are comparing dont give sh.it about you neither will the comparism massage you talkmore of feed you!!

If you dont want his attention, dont seek it. You were the first to attempt any contact with him by indirectly quoting him sha.

You're a good guy, just calm down. shotigbo.

Nothing is happening to us in this section; rather, it's something that's happening to me. I stooped really low, like really LOW to act like MOST do on NL, if ther's anything I've learned, the best thing I've learned not to join words with people. Besides, where did you see me quoting him? Please prove it? I responded with a link, he quotes me and tell me I'm dyslexic? Please show where I quoted him before he made that comment,

As a matter of fact, I will just observe more often than not; I'm done with this internet yelling and shouting that makes no sense. My suggestion to you so you can advice your cohorts; if they're gonna teach someone lecture or help someone, they should do so in a respectful manner even if you disagree with that person's thought of reasoning. Not that if affects me, but no matter how someone might be ignorant, insulting DOES NOT bring out the best in them either. I thought I could change some views on NL, but I'm soon realizing that NL is changing me in a negative way; not something I admire nor want.

While I have no regrets about my actions, I strongly believe there are some thoughts and reasoning that should be cautioned on NL; this is NOT healthy online environment. I've use unappealing words to express my reasoning which I shouldn't, I guess opinions are what they are; they are what you define them. I have gotten along with a majority of some folks on here, while some has been a torn in my flesh. I guess it's safe to assume, some people are not cutout for this sort of mess, or simply, they just have other priorities as well.

I am publicly appealing to those torn in my flesh, you know yourselves, PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE. You can quote me, but moving forward, it's less likely I will reply you let alone engage in war of words with you. I will try to cease and desist confrontational arguments with you; it doesn't mean I'm weak, it just means it's the most appropriate thing to do. I'm certainly DONE using vulgar language (lol, idk yet) baby steps, but trust me people, I will avoid you like a serious plague.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Read up about the man whose name you're mocking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayodele_Awojobi


Ayodele Oluwatuminu Awojobi (March 12, 1937 – September 23, 1984), also known by the nicknames "Dead Easy", "The Akoka Giant", and "Macbeth", was a Nigerian academic, author, inventor, social crusader and activist.[1] He was considered a scholarly genius by his teachers and peers alike.[2][3] He quickly advanced in his field to become the youngest professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Lagos, Nigeria in 1974. Earlier the same year, he became the first African to be awarded the degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) in Mechanical Engineering at the then Imperial College of Science and Technology, London (now Imperial College London).[1]

His research papers, particularly in the field of Vibration, are still cited by international research fellows in Engineering as lately as the year 2010,[4] and are archived by such publishers as the Royal Society.[5


Even Chinua Achebe would be VERY ashamed of the OP.

He did not just 'build the Autonov 1'. He was a brilliant Mechanical Engineer, a great teacher and scholar and a principled and highly revered gentleman whose works achieved great respect in local and international circles.
I know you're trying to defend his legacy, but your statement doesn't even capture a tenth of what the Prof was about.

Certainly he achieved more than anyone else posting here has ever done.

true. They must not be in the same field to be compared. Afterall defenders, mid-fielders and attackers are are all usually shortlisted for ballon d'or. It all boils down to how u contribute to your team (in this case nigeria or man kind as a whole)

Thank you sir for enlightening me on his achievements. All I know about him is that he built the Autonov 1. I'm not an engineer but a medical personnel so I hardly know him.

Once again thank you sir.
