LiteratureRe: Wole Soyinka Replies Reno Omokri Over Chinua Achebe Being Better Than Him by Gorillacrew: 6:42pm On Jan 28, 2020
Sanchez01:
The emboldened is a suicidal comparison. I read tons of John Milton's works way back as I did Shakespeares. Achebe can clearly be likened to Milton. Both focused on a genre while Shakespeare and Soyinka found a genre to be restrictive.

As good as Milton was with poetry, Shakespeare was referred to as a national poet and the 'Bard of Avon'. That tells a whole lot. It is only fair to compare writers who focus solely on one genre. Example: Frank AIG-Imokhuede vs J.P. Clarke or Niyi Osundare, etc.

Achebe and Soyinka's argument is like drawing comparisons between a fixed player vs a utility player in football. They are not even close by a mile. Whatever Achebe wrote in his prose world, Soyinka translated into the same genre and extended to the other two. Even his plays I saw alongside that of Ola Rotimi way back left me dazed.

You pick Soyinka's works to study and analyze only to start wondering what he was thinking when he wrote that particular work. Achebe is an amazing writer in his own right and his novel enjoyed more popularity than Soyinka's for several reasons. Sadly, comparing saying Achebe is better as far as literature is concerned is committing a literary Seppuku.
You sure know your onions. Respect.
CrimeRe: Photos Of The Suspected Herdsman Arrested In Imo State With Bullets by Gorillacrew: 4:24pm On Jul 17, 2019
All they keep telling us is to separate genuine herdsmen from criminal elements forgetting they already made excuses for the miscreants and gave us an insight to what is coming a long time ago. Now its here, they want to change the narrative. As far as I am concern, I see all Fulanis as muderous criminals until proven otherwise. That is where we are now. God bless mazi Nnamdi KANU.
PoliticsRe: Some Nigerians Are Rejoicing Over Insecurity So They Can Blame Buhari – Sagay by Gorillacrew: 4:10pm On Jul 17, 2019
Buhari should have listened a long time ago and deal decisively with insecurity but in his usual manner, he was slow to react. Rather, he was giving excuses and rationalizing his actions and inactions. Now it has blown up in his face and he is playing the ostrich still, saying people are only unpatriotic for crying out loud. It will remain on record that we never experience insecurity like experienced under Buhari's watch. There nothing to be happy about in that singular fact. Rather we are sad that we can't sleep with both eyes closed at night. El Rufai, Sagay, Onochie and co should forget their stomach and love for power for a while and think of the majority bearing the pain of their lip-servicing. embarassed
RomanceRe: Things Happen When Ever I Try To Have Sex. by Gorillacrew: 11:52am On Jul 11, 2019
Its all down to your faith. Whatever you strongly believe should inform your actions. If you strongly think the dream is for real, then embrace your fate and wait until you get married. Given that you're already 27, it won't be so long till you get married anyway. However, if you think your dream is just your mind being very imaginative, then get yourself a decent partner for your desires. Just stop moaning and take a firm stand.
PoliticsRe: Police Funding: NANS To Storm National Assembly, Official Says by Gorillacrew: 4:24pm On Jul 07, 2019
How about concentrating on Nigerian students' issues, which should be your primary concern? The Madonna students and lecturer vs Fr. Edeh's case is still fresh but you didn't storm the court in solidarity. If you are getting paid to put your hands where it doesn't belong, be sure it is the same police you are fighting for that will use tear gas and live bullets on you. All parents should warn their freshers'wards to be careful not to be used as stooges in an economic game as this.
RomanceRe: Alleged Rape: Heavy Protesters Storms COZA Church Abuja by Gorillacrew: 9:49am On Jun 30, 2019
This rape wahala no be small something ooo. While a lot of people are taking sides, for or against, me I'm worried. I have done a couple of 17 year olds that seem interested in the past and I thought nothing big of it. Now with this wahala, there is going to be a new awareness. What if these ladies come back and change the story? My only saving grace at the moment is that I'm not a VIP but for how long will that last? Most of you guys talking, you better go check your résumé properly. Maybe some lady somewhere is just waiting for you to blow.
SportsRe: Which Is Africa's Biggest National Team Football Rivalry? by Gorillacrew: 5:51pm On Jun 28, 2019
Since 1960s, it's been Nigeria vs Ghana. Even when Ghana no get team, they always give Nigeria wahala and at all levels including female football. As South Africa, them just they struggle. Cameroon own don dey mellow since there is more more Hayatou's factor.

SportsRe: World Cup: France Coach Finally Admits VAR Gave Them Victory Over Super Falcons by Gorillacrew: 10:01am On Jun 19, 2019
Some victories just leave sore taste in the mouth. The controversial fashion in which the French snatched victory with little or nothing at stake for them may not feel so good to some. Nigeria may not qualify but the team doesn't have much to lose given their record. However, for the French, their credentials would definitely be questioned and they must do a lot more to prove themselves now. As far as I am concerned, the French team has lost something from the victory against Nigeria.
CrimeRe: ASP Of Police Part Of Kidnappers Arrested At The Southern Part Of Nigeria by Gorillacrew: 9:52am On Jun 19, 2019
I have always believed that most of the kidnapping gangs won't be so successful without connivance from military/paramilitary guys. I may be wrong but this kind of news suggests otherwise.
RomanceRe: We Will Go On Demonstration If We Don’t Get Husbands This Year – Single Nurses by Gorillacrew: 9:49am On Jun 19, 2019
Tell your press to storm criminalizing Nigerians and we may export some of our men to Ghana. Since you submitted that you are financially stable, then the move will add to Nigeria's GDP in the long run. Win-win situation for all parties involved.
BusinessRe: Nigerian Traders ‘under Attack’ In Ghana by Gorillacrew: 12:28am On Jun 19, 2019
This is always coming. A friend of mine that lives in Russia told me that nationals from most black African countries are always beefing Nigerians in diaspora. The reason for other black persons beefing Nigerians, home and abroad, may be as a result of jealousy or insecurity on the part of these people but if we don't give them any chance to show it, they likely won't be able to. Going to your neighbour's house and acting like his landiord definitely won't earn you much accolades. Maybe Nigerians in other African countries need to tone things down so they can get along without much troubles.
PoliticsRe: We Can’t Disclose Details Of Buhari’s Assets - CCB by Gorillacrew: 8:05pm On Jun 18, 2019
Then what is the point of declaring the assets? Why call it an exam when there won't be results.
EducationRe: The Missionary Schools And The Poor-pope Frank by Gorillacrew: 6:08pm On Jun 18, 2019
Missionary schools are schools established with a vision and a mission. Maybe in the beginning, the mission wasn't money but indoctrination and cultural alteration at earliest stage possible. Now the mission has changed with money the focal point. If we are hoping for organizations that'll offer knowledge and enlightenment at little or no cost, then we should be looking to have CHARITY SCHOOLS soon.
PoliticsRe: According to Pontius Pilate, Jesus Was White And Blonde by Gorillacrew: 5:59pm On Jun 18, 2019
Does it really matter what Jesus or Mohammed looked like? All that should matter is the message they brought. This debate about race would only entrench more hate and drive humanity further apart. I doubt if Jesus would apprentice that. White washing or not, His message was and is still LOVE and nothing is more important than that.
SportsRe: Unfair Treatment Of African Teams In World Cup Finals by Gorillacrew: 1:03am On Jun 18, 2019
Black gene is noted for athleticism and strength. Most of the leading athletes and all-time-greatests in almost every sport are black or mixed people. However, there are economic and business angles that are important for revenue generation and sustenance. Promoting a black sportsman born and bred in any first world is still economically viable to an extent but promoting a black person from the third world is considered not good enough for business. When on wprld stage, African sportsmen should give their all, hope for the best but always expect the worst because he that pays the piper dictates the tune. That way, they won't be too disappointed in the shenanigans that comes with protecting economic interests of the white companies.
SportsRe: Reactions To France 1-0 Nigeria. by Gorillacrew: 11:32pm On Jun 17, 2019
Life can be unfair sometimes. However, I don't know why I feel like life can be doubly unfair to a black every time. I always see every successful black man as a hero because you'll have to climb double the mountain before your efforts count. I'm extremely proud of this super falcon team. You guys can come home with your heads held high. All the drama cannot take away the fact that you put in a good shift.

Do it already. No need telling anybody, just do it already. The Fulani guys didn't inform anyone before going on rampage. Anyway to protect your own people is away.
PoliticsRe: FG Withdraws Oil Licenses Of Abiola, Fadeyi, Dantata, Lawal, Deribe’s Companies by Gorillacrew: 8:12pm On Jun 06, 2019
Old monies out, new monies in. That Dantata own is not real. As long as Dangote owns the only private refinery in the country, maybe his uncles won't be needing the oil wells that much again.
CrimeRe: Confusion As ‘church’ Which ‘helps’ People Double Their Money Scams Many In Lago by Gorillacrew: 8:06pm On Jun 06, 2019
When are going to understand that religious houses in Nigeria are not charity foundations? When are we going to learn that desperation and greediness only makes us excellent preys for hungry predators constantly looking for who to deal deadly blows? Are Nigerians really intellectually lazy people? I just don't understand a lot of things.

Its always going to be a crappy deal dining with the devil. Irrespective of how big or small the devil is, once it is in on your invitation, then going away is always going to be a big deal. Since you chose to go to hell via the highways, just enjoy the ride and stop whining.
PhonesRe: Dozens Strip Na*ke With Images Of Nipples, Outside Facebook Office (photos) by Gorillacrew: 4:58pm On Jun 03, 2019
I don't understand why they are protesting to FB. They should be like Huwaei creating her own OS and create a platform where they can express their artistic talents unhindered. If the platform gains a worldwide appeal and acceptance, then FB will not have any choice than to review her own rules.
Anyway, make dem come try this for Broad Street for Naija. Dem go see our oga policemen with enough nylon condom molesting them anyhow in the name of breaking up the protest.

Since independence, there has never been much clearer difference between the Hausa nation and the Fulanis as we have now. All thanks to President Buhari's interior policies. I think there is so much anti-core North sentiments in the land right now, spreading from middle belt southwards. I can assure you, you won't get so much sympathy for any negative thing happening up there on a forum like NL.
