Son-Of-El:
Yes you are right caustical, cos your slavish tribe is On Your Own, OYO. We igbos helped you run your first generation universities namely U.I and UNILAG, by profs kenneth dike and eni njoku respectively....ingrates like you.

That should show U f00l how accommodating we yorubas are. but what do U people used to pay us back? hatred and envy

eazzzy1: If u went to church this sunday or mosque this friday,lemme see your hand up..

U can't blame me bro, I like bursting these Igbos balls

Son-Of-El:
Igbos are ably represented in the field of literature, as far back as the 16th century, take a look at olaudah equiano, first african writer of the industrial/modern age and dogged abolitionist....proudly igbo! Caustical, go and lick caustic soda!

I told U that that man was not an Igbo man, because a nicomp.oop like U wrote something in wikipedia doesn't mean is true but if U are hell bent on making that man one of U, can U tell me the meaning of Olaudah equiano in your language?

For your information I just need to let U know about Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African Anglican bishop in Nigeria and the first person that translated an english bible into a native west african language. He translated English bible into yoruba language and made the primer for your Igbo language. U ungrateful fellows

Son-Of-El:
Caustical, you are indeed a coward and a loser. Mention that of your kinsmen....if not soyinka, and perhaps, osundare, who else do you have? Olodo.... If you want to come into the realm of science, am ready for you. You can't even compare awo to zik of africa, one in whom the ideology of zikism is noted among foreign observers.... Caustical, find your level...

I will mention hundreds of yoruba that have achieved great things..........talking about Zik and awo, U must be dreaming saying that that figurehead zik was better than the great Awo........take me anywhere bro....Yorubas are ahead of yur forsaken tribe......I know U are grieved with the fact that the award U think yur Achebe first won was actually won by another yoruba man. don't blame us we are pacestters....ever wonder why oyo state slogan is the pacesetter?

Freewilly:

It's in the blood, their fathers were cowards so it's not unusual for this generation to be cowards. But when it comes to fraud and fast money count them in because the always first with that.

If we achieving things more than yur entire kinsmen is what U call being coward then we better remain cowards.

But wait a minute, I was told your forefather was a gorilla, that cannot be far from truth considering the level of reasoning U sons of gorilla display on this forum

Son-Of-El:
@caustical, literary award winners trace their mentor to achebe, who traces his/her mentor to soyinka(no offense)? When you mention people like mandela of africa, you mention achebe of africa, these men fought white supremacy in a gallant way.

My literary award, since that was the only reasonable award your great achebe won........guess who first won Margaret Wong Prize in Nigeria Daniel Fagunwa in 1955 before anybody got to know about your achebe.

poyo: D westerners i'l always b cowards

The westerners will always burst your balls with concrete facts but U Igbos will always respond with unreasonable points and insults

Son-Of-El:
Gish prize, magaret wong literary prize, commonwealth poetry prize, german book prize...i can't list them all, all from achebe himself. I have not mentioned prizes from ekwensi, adichie, unigwe, okigbo, iweala, ndibe, etc. I give the assignment to you. Mention your kinsmen's...

U can even mention palm wine tapper award, I don't care about .........U are not saying booker T award anymore, is geisha and ekweremandu award U are saying now

Mr. Globe:

onye ofe, do you know about any Chimamanda Adichie to whom baba Achebe passed the torch to. Have you heard of her exploits yet? My question is who takes over after Sir Wole Soyinka? Soyinka knows ndi ofe are block heads, the reason he is holding on to his skills by himself

That your sister is trying and for the commonwealth award she won lemme give our sons and daughters that have won them

Karen King-Aribisala
Sade Adeniran
Funso Aiyejina etc

Winning awards and flying nigerian flag is our thing


About Soyinka passing the touch.......he doesn't have to pass touch to another person's daughter, check this his daughter Professor Peyibomi Soyinka-Airewele

ak47mann: O boy i traveled to united state the other day, as i pass immigration desk they saw nigerian visa in my passport they have to search me in-case of bomb, and i said to myself why did i even allow this terrorist country visa in my passport? i felt sorry for my igbo people that carry those green passport the humiliation they go through.This one nigeria must be a pain in the assss

Your brothers like Ikechukwu Anajemba and Emmanuel Nwude caused U the humiliation

Freewilly: Bad belle........ Yoruba.

Credit card frud.......Yoruba.

Medicare frud........Yoruba.

Medicaid frud........Yoruba.

Insurance frud.......Yoruba.

Mortgage frude........Yoruba.

Drug trafficking .....Yoruba.

419 on Dateline NBC 2 years ago.....Yoruba.

I'm sick and tired of these people, and we all supposed to be all Nigerian?

All the fraud combined is not equal to the duo of your brothers Ikechukwu Anajemba and Emmanuel Nwude

Son-Of-El:
I never knew some yoruba folks would be so myopic into thinking that the nobel prize is the best prize for literature....olodos....

Oya point out one your kinsman has won..........please I don't want to hear booker T award o

manny4life:

Well, starting with Madam Okonjo in GEJ's administration, the woman has achieved more than a whole lot compared to her peers.

Did I hear U say Okonjo iweala.....that idi.ot that is dragging GEJ and Nigeria into world bank and IMF the loan Nigeria will be paying in the next 30 years

Son-Of-El:
@caustical, we don't need to mention names. Your brain must have been phased out if you don't know any. But to help your fagged out brain a bit, start with equiano and jaja of opobo, study their legacies and submit your assignment on NL.

I can see how desperate U are......Equaino in the 18th century......a man that didn't know where he came from. waiting for U to claim micheal jordon lineage was from aba

Jaja of Opobo is Opobo now an iboland?

manny4life:

Did you read my post, I said answers will depend on the type of questions. Starting from this current administration in governance, pick a field with Igbos, and I will break it down for you.

Anyone at all, am in all ears.........I will give U 10 by yoruba if U give me one by Igbo

@Dayokanu......don't mind the igbos (indian hemps) they are losers that are looking for people to bring down with them

U know they are lost tribe as they claim.......

Mr. Globe:

*yawwwn* Get back to me when any onye represents Nigeria on this list. Its the assembly of Literary icons.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Booker_International_Prize

Man booker award is that an award for goats and gorillas?

manny4life:

Lol, is this supposedly a real question? Even Igbo in governance in Nigeria has achieved a whole lot, so your answers will depend on specifics of your question.

Please say one

Son-Of-El:
@dayokanu and co, pulitzer, orange, german book trade, booker, nobel, fischer,etc are numerous awards that has categories in literature. Check this awards and see if it's only yoruba names that are mentioned there. You are an ethnic worm eating up nairaland. Achebe's legacy transcends awards, even award winners e.g mandela, gordimer, soyinka, adichie, ngugi, etc pay homage to achebe. You know why? Because he gave africa a strong literary voice when there was none. Go and hug a suicide bomber.

U are told that Dele Olejede was the first nigerian to win pulitzer but i know hatred won't allow U to see that......tell me one Igbo that has won any of the award

Continue displaying your st.upid.ity, using a blog from wordpress to prove a point.....stop being a nim.comp.oop

manny4life:

Did u say Nigerian name? Which name? Am I dreaming or what?

Read correct news and stop limiting yurself to news from yur ndigbo brainwashing info.....yur brothers have tarnished nigerian image in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa, USA. Is a shame

Mr. Globe:

And so how is Achebe more popular and relevant internationally than all ndi ofe combined? Is awo known outside the borders of yorubaland?

To answer yur id.iot.ic questions, answer these

Was micheal okpara known outside is village? was C.C Onoh known outside is village in Enugu Ngwo? was Ojukwu known for anything meaningful throughout his entire life?

Mr. Globe:

Someone needs to slap ndi ofe back to 1916 where they rightfully belong for the good of the world. If the Nobel prize was that relevant, the international media would have debated why Achebe did not win it when he died as that is the order. But not one mention. Only ndi ofe obsessed themselves with it.

What has your god forsaken tribe achieved? please tell me one. U people continue to disgrace nigerian name everywhere

Ok Igbos tell me what someone from your forbidden tribe has achieved that yoruba person didn't achieved before him or her

Mr. Globe:

You mean the 32 ndi ofe credit card thieves busted in America just yesterday? its a reason you are called onye ofe dumbass.

Mumu don't forget what your brothers Ikechukwu anajemba and emmanuel nwude has done to Nigerian image. These sons of gorilla has done more damage to nigerian image in america than the whole yahoo yahoo boys cyber crime combined

Who even knew achebe outside Igbo land........his book was even popular than him......told a white friend a nigerian known as achebe died he was like who the he.ck was that, I got to explain to him the dude wrote the book things fall part. Guess what he told me about nigerian authors? "he said the only nigerian author i know is the guy with big afro that won nobel laureate "

kettykin:

Those folks are the most Gullible folks ever if the Nobel Price was so real and fantastic how come their Demigod Awolowo did not win a Nobel price for peace for his self acclaimed administrative prowess and free education

I know Ojukwu (big head pot) is your god.......no wonder he let millions of U into suffering and starvation and U people blindly follow like i.di.ots U are. your brain cells are made up palm oil

dayokanu:

Soyinka "Accidentally" won as a 50yr old man, But Ashebe couldnt accidentally in over 8 decades he lived

What a waste

He can still win it in hell

Every good things known about Nigerians in the world is by yoruba....................let the Igbos mention one thing..........wait wait i know U will say things fall apart mumu..

Achebe died as a depressed man, he will forever be remembered as an old f00l and bigot. No great mind has ever come out of Igboland (indian hemp land).

Give me one name of sons of gorilla (Igbos) that have done anything outstanding and I will give U 20 yorubas

nnenna.1:


Since when did the nobel prize cement someone's status?

Oya, Hitler and Al Gore are the epitome of peace since they won the Nobel peace prize.

Where did this Igbo gal see that Hitler won Nobel laureate peace prize from. if U don't know what to say shut up and stop disgracing your tribe. We already know people from your tribe are f00ls.

By the way Al gore did outstanding work in creating worldwide awareness on climate change and global warming. imbe

nnenna.1:
When did the simplicity in literature come to mean lack of depth?

When did the overusage of the thesaurus become literary mastery?

Okay....since we are on about literary criticism, chew on this:

Nadine Gordimer, nobel prize winner, on Soyinka's writing style - "overly self-conscious"

Ben Okri on Soyinka writing style - "deprives us of a great deal of wisdom with the furies of complexities"

Femi Osofisan on Soyinka - "frenzied scenes of logorrhoea"

Guardian (UK) summary of criticism -"grandiloquence and obscurantism"

In other words, all style and little substance.

I did like his plays, but his prose works are too showy and "grammar" like - as if he is trying to impress you with big words and complex use of tenses/sentences.

His work is not meant for people with low intelligence quotient
