DiarisGodoo: See how we are discussing Achebe's works and we know they are immortal. Mention one Soyinka work that people can discuss or remember like that. World libraries are full of Achebe's books. You won't find any Soyinka books. Greatness is not by being a jack-of-all-trade. "Literature" means nothing - you have to mention the BRANCH of literature the person is GREAT at. I'm sure durring Mozart's time there were jack-of-all-trade musicians. You don't compare them to Mozart because Mozart only excelled in Classical Music.
Soyinka is great and a living legend generally but you can't be considered great at something when none of your works is immortal. galantjoe: Can you give a link to the online where I can read the story
Thank you Sonnobax15, Kdon2, enemyofprogress, Ibehchizzy, PDPdestroyer, Betem001, , Christlike01, favour32, aribisala0, thesicilian, AkumTemi, Globad, MT See how I presented a photo of Achebe book and directed to his short story. I bet nobody here has any copy of any Soyinka books nor can direct us to read his story 1 Like

Kdon2: You wish
But God didn't grant your wish though😂 Only someone who doesn't ENJOY literature would say this. Try reading Soyinka's The Interpreters. It is unreadable. Soyinka is great and a legend for other reasons, but not for telling stories, and he is a fair playwright |

aribisala0: It has no significance to you It has to others so why not leave them instead of being a control freak In Africa we venerate out ancestors If your mind is colonised and you no longer see significance in that keep it to yourself Learn how to shut-up and respect other people Well said. I agree with him though. All these competitions should end with death. How about those whose birthdays are not celebrated? |

Gabrielshow24: Thanks, for your assessment—Nothing I have done involved these 😂. FYI, Jesus wasn't anybody😅. Case closed. You can say Jesus wasn't anybody - which is same as saying you don't know, instead of using "set theory" and X is in Y and Z is in Q to try to fool us |

This one shall say, "I am the Lord's," and this one shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and this one shall write [with] his hand, "To the Lord," and adopt the name Israel. 6. So said the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer the Lord of Hosts, "I am first and I am last, and besides Me there is no god. 7. And who will call [that he is] like Me and will tell it and arrange it for Me, since My placing the ancient people, and the signs and those that will come, let them tell for themselves. 8. Fear not and be not dismayed; did I not let you hear it from then, and I told [it] and you are My witnesses; is there a god besides Me? And there is no rock I did not know.

Gabrielshow24: I understand, that's the essence of the hypostatic union. We do not know the functionalities but the evidence warrants such!
It's just to present a coherent, logical approach to the hypostatic union suitably for the scientific mind. It's not meant to replace scripture nor theology. I don't know how God incorporated both aspects but I know he existed in both without contradiction. Even in flesh, he spoke about giving eternal Life! among other things.
The "how" is a mystery! Except you also want to find fault the council's exemplifications as a union! Even when I was a staunch antichrist on this platform, I independently arrived at such a conclusion—mathematically—before I ever dreamt of an encounter with God. That was the only logical reconciliation that the evidence affords, others lead to heresies—according to christian fundamentals! No amount of adding and subtracting, dividing and multiplying can make anybody perfect and imperfect at same time. Thank you very much. Case closed |

FreeIgboho: .
My good brother I don't think this is the best way to go about this. We humans are given a very limited brain and also our senses perceive a tiny fraction of what is around us. There are things simply beyond our comprehension but which we know are true. Example, God listens to billions of prayers at once; another, God is localized in heaven yet same God is everywhere. You can't prove any of these with mathematics yet we know they are true. Trinity (fullness of God in Jesus) is one such. It is a MYSTERY! It is unexplainable FROM HUMAM PERSPECTIVE, yet we KNOW it is true! (DeepSight, sonmvayina, CanadaOrBust, what u say about this?) This seems like a cop out but either way it is still far better than the other guy's hocus pocus mathematics😆 |

Arostar2023: Some atrocities happening in Nigeria are things that happen only in war torn countries. But alas, our leaders are only after 2027! None of them cares about humanity and the collective survival of their race. Who and what made our leaders so self-centered and diabolically wicked? Matter of fact, parts of the country are actually at war. They just don't realize it |

Be careful of him because at some point you may say Good morning and he will tell you that you have admitted it is evening.
He will then proceed to spend the next one month dancing about your admission that it is evening.
