mumu pray you reach half achebe age cuz your type does not last long if you dont know.
Better to die young than to become a useless crippled bitter elder who would urge tribalism at that old age

Son-Of-El:
Tribalistic ingrates, the man who defended the integrity and rationale of every darkskinned human on earth with his pen is now a 'disgrace', and an intellectual subordinate to the nobel prize. Shame on you all.
Shame on the bitter cripple the spokesman of Biafra who was living large while children were starving to death.

The bitterness killed him obviously

Unlike Wole.

Fought Wedtern region govt

Even though yoruba supported Biafra and went to jail

Even though Yoruba supported the Niger Delta in the fight for resource control

He fought the cabal to ensure Jonathan was president

While he could be sitting in the comfort of America like the senile ashebe writing tales by moonlight to promote tribal hatred

isnt it funny that Ashebe couldn't live long to reap the fruit of the bigoted book he wrote?

nwando: Why are you bent on using Wole to try to rubbish Achebe
Name your own father and chronicle his achievements
Have you no father?


Allow the children of Wole Soyinka to sing the praises of their father

Wole Soyinka is my tribesman and I aspire to be like him to win a Nobel and not to die a bitter cripple like someone we know

Obi1kenobi: I wanted to write something similar. Some are easily impressed with Soyinka's verbose, gratuitous style and think simplicity in a narrative shows a lack of depth but Soyinka's prose works actually get criticism for this. Some have been going on about how difficult it is to translate Soyinka's works as if it is a virtue. The greatest authors and philosophers of all time including your Tolstoys and Dostoyevskys and Twains and Hemmingways and Nietzsches communicated simply and effectively.
Apparently the Nobel committee was impressed with Soyinkas verbosity and not so much with Ashebes lack of verbosity

nwando: Who is mad that Achebe that didn't win a Nobel?
You are the person making mouth about a Nobel ( like your tribe is known for loud ness and showiness) and people are trying to tell you that Nobel is just a prize given by a group in Sweden based on their criteria.
It does not confer superiority of a writer over others
It is not a standardized testing where writers are scored based on performance
Don't make it more than what it is intended for
Good you know there is a committee who reviews work and gives the Nobel and they are based in Sweden

So who gives "Father of African literature award" where are they located and which year did Ashebe win the prestigious Father of African Literature award

If you can help us tell who was Father of ancient African literature and father of Modern Asian literature with references

Since what matters is "Father of Modern African Literature"

Who can tell us who is the father of "modern Asian literature", "Father of Ancient African literature"

I fully understand you. What matters more is "Father of internet, father of African literature, Father of African boxing, Father of runaway cowards etc "

Am I right?

Winning World player of the year doesnt mean you are the best e.g Taiye taiwo is better than Messi cheesy

[size=20pt]The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 was awarded to Albert Einstein[/size] "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".

https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/einstein_postcard.jpg

Albert Einstein received his Nobel Prize one year later, in 1922. During the selection process in 1921, the Nobel Committee for Physics decided that none of the year’s nominations met the criteria as outlined in the will of Alfred Nobel. According to the Nobel Foundation's statutes, the Nobel Prize can in such a case be reserved until the following year, and this statute was then applied. Albert Einstein therefore received his Nobel Prize for 1921 one year later, in 1922.
