EazyMoh:I don't know why some find this difficult to grasp. If anyone types "in the forest of olodumare" on Google, the prominent author name is D.O Fagunwa, despite the fact that it was translated by Wole Soyinka. Soyinka referenced and acknowledged his source which Cyprian failed to do, yet they're screaming trash. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ihuomadinihu:This is gross victim mentality. I had to go back and read the article but I couldn't see any direct reference to Cyprian's tribe. Cyprian was a great writer. I love all his books. He made my childhood very glorious and interesting. Does that change the fact that it's unethical, if not illegal to translate someone else's works without giving any reference or acknowledgement to them? No! We can't grow if every attempt to bring an individual to justice is labelled "a tribal witch-hunt". 5 Likes |

Morizo:LOL. I'm sorry, but this is pure a55-licking. It'd have sounded a bit reasonable if you had come up with a solid backup point. "He wouldn't have stooped so low.." is just your own opinion, you haven't met him and you didn't know him when he was alive. 4 Likes |

CoCoLav:No ma'am. You can't just decide to translate Shakespeare's works without obtaining permission from the legal body(s) handling his affairs and without referencing him in your works. That's intellectual theft. The bolded statement is very very wrong, "even if permission was not obtained"? Then it is plagiarism, simple. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Has anyone read the shining ones? It's a first-person narrative story of a group of friends from the same primary school. They found themselves in the same secondary school. Friday Stoneface, Mr Alan Black and the rest. |

delors:Jeez! Equatorial Assignment!! I found the book in my dad's bookshelf! I read it so many times that all the actions are etched in my memory. That was the first time I'd be knowing anything about Kenya. The book was simply superb. Funny enough, like the last 10 pages were missing, which means I still don't know what happened at the end. |

Nihilist:Sir, I know my opinions mean nothing to you, but you really need to take a "chill pill". You've been gyrating around the same POV for the past 96 hours and I can't help but sense some traces of arrogance coupled with an overdose of self-esteem. You just stuck to the same opinion and the counter-arguments others provided were being torn to shreds with your not-too-founded semi-explanations. Usually, I don't interfere with matters that don't directly affect me, but this argument is getting tiring and methinks you're destroying the purpose of this thread. No offence intended. 17 Likes 1 Share |

gj22:well, Mel has been wrong before so she could be wrong again. As for the new priestess, she could be wrong as well- Lord Varys pointed this out. What if they're both right? Seeing as Dany can only be "the princess that was promised" and Jon "the prince that was promised"? See, I don't even know what to think about GOT again sef. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Right after the death of Ned, I detached all emotions from GOT(or so I thought), but episode 5 just made me realize I didn't. Like a poster said, if this episode didn't make you tear up, then... *goes to re-watch episode 5* 4 Likes |
