Literature › Re: Wole Soyinka: Things You Never Knew About Him by bodee(m): 4:13pm On Mar 28, 2013 |
Orikinla: [size=28pt]Dear Poster,
1. Yes, Prof. Wole Soyinka is the first African and only Nigerian presently and (not ever) to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Other Nigerian authors will win it and one of them has a British passport. His name is Ben Okri.
2. Wole Soyinka may be Africa’s most successful playwright and dramatist in literary terms, but not on the live stage. South African playwrights have made more money from their plays than Wole Soyinka.
3. Wole Soyinka is NOT the world’s most famous Nigerian). More people across the social strata and cultures know Queen of Nollywood Genevieve Nnaji and soccer star Kanu Nwankwo more than Wole Soyinka. Only students of literature and other educated people know him and lest you forget majority of Africans and others in the world are uneducated. All the millions of Nigerians who have not been to school are more than the educated minority and these legions of illiterates among Hausas and other ethnic groups in the middle belt and northern regions don't know Wole Soyinka. Chinua Achebe did not win the Nobel Prize, but he was more famous than Wole Soyinka until he passed away. Achebe's books have been translated into more languages than Wole Soyinka's books and 'Things Fall Apart" alone has sold more copies than all the books of Wole Soyinka since 1958 to date. And still outselling other Nigerian books on Amazon and other book stores. I am an authority of this. So, stop misinforming the ignorant and gullible trolls and others on this website and other sites.
4. The greatest writer from Africa to date is South Africa's J. M. Coetzee, a novelist, essayist, linguist, translator and recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. And the only African and the first writer to win the Booker Prize twice; first for "Life & Times of Michael K" in 1983, and again for "Disgrace" in 1999.
Coetzee has been described as "inarguably the most celebrated and decorated" living writer in the Anglosphere.Before receiving the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature, he was awarded the CNA Prize (thrice), the Prix Femina Étranger, The Irish Times International Fiction Prize and the Booker Prize (twice), among other accolades.
I hope you know what is Anglosphere?

dolphinife: Whenever Fashola take a decision that will change the lives of people permanently and positively. People tends to cry foul. The question is dat is Ladipo market an Igbo market? Definitely NO. The problem these Igbo people have is dat they believe they are the only tribe dat knws the formula for business success yet, their people do not measure up to the first ten richest Nigeria. If you are looking for shrewd businessmen, come to Yorubaland. Is true ooo, this one na food for thought for the descendant of Okija shrine,for those that killed Kwara CP,for those that ensure that their own brothers got drown in river,for the Rev King's brothers and sister. If you guys or your people can not clean the place then go to your village and join your brothers and sisters in the kidnapping business. |

How wonderful is it for brethren to be in harmony.I went through series of post in this forum I can but noticed the love,care,warmth that exist among ourselves But this issue of meeting of someone at Anglomoz 8pm & above. Lots of activities take place here like romancing,kissing,'smouching','fingering'. We are admonish to 'flee from all appearance of evil'. Some of my roommates 'had promised' the incoming moz girls so I think it is advisable to choose friends that are in same level.Pls don't make friends with these part 2/part 3 guys at least for now. They are sweet-mouthed so pls don't be deceived.

Reasons why people love bb 1.People love to chat but you can also chat comfortablely on facebook chat,2go,watsapp,smiggle,yahoo.etc know that bbm is just one out of the hundreds of social network available. 2.You can multitask or minimize on bb but a good symbian phone(E and N series) does that as well. 3.There is unlimited downloads on bb(MTN 4 #1500) but let my bb friends keep downloading files even at the essence of keeping vigil;my bluetooth device is there.Personally speaking,there is WIFI(for heavy data download) in my school
bb has no antivirus but symbian has lots bb has no sophisticated games and app unlike symbian phones
