There is a total randomness to how the Nobe Prize is distributed, especially with all the secrecy that surrounds the process.
So if Thiongo gets it, it might for some arbitrary reason like a vision of one of the selectors for all we know.

But what is beyond speculation is that the prize confers credibility, and a status that is not shared by any other prize.

Achebe is too wise and old to be fretting over the prize(we pobly do it more than he does), but the prize is what it is

Perhaps when ours gains more value we can look back reproachfully at those days when we salivated over the 'white man's' prize/

You must wish for the return of the Negritude Movement.
