Wole soyinka the failed writer is not fit to be in the same sentence with a giant like Achebe. Achebe is refered has the father of modern day African literature a fit your dementia old soyinka would never achieve till he goes six feat under ground.

Iweala is the first black person in the world to become the director of wto. Go hit ur conehead on the wall u did be aiit.

So? And Nigeria borrowed to play salaries in the midst of an oil boom under her incompetent ass! Cry more, IPOB buffoon!

Lol pained soul, I still maintain my stand wole soyinka shouldn't be in same sentence with Achebe..your Nobel prize winner is nothing but a local champion..a failed writer who had to take solace in politics to cover up all the time and energy he spent writing jibi jaba he called novels that couldn't sell to a thousand copies.
This is what the great Mandela has to say about Achebe.
"The writer in the presence of whom the prison walls come down. That was how President Nelson Mandela described him. Simply put, and deservedly so, Prof. Chinua Achebe is Africa's most widely read author. His debut novel, Things Fall Apart has been translated into 42 languages with over 40 million in sales. In spite of how much he constantly downplayed or sometimes denied it, he is widely regarded as the 'father of the African novel."

I didn't even bother reading your boring gibberish. But it's still an undeniable fact that Achebe died miserably and heartbrokenly after years of being embittered by not winning the highest honour in Literature. And I'm glad this very fact will continue to burn you delusional clowns to the bone marrow forever!

mightyhaze:
But incidentally she is not.. Igbo and Igbo ora ,igbobi,igbonla,igbosere,igboho or ijebu Igbo are not the same,even though it has Igbo as prefix/suffix out of the general Igbo obsession in that part of the country..

Waiting, are you suggesting that the reason there are many Igbo prefix/suffix in Yorubaland is because of "general Igbo obsession" in Yorubaland? Tell me this isn't what you mean.

Idiko1:
Arrant nonsense!!!! Honor by who? Chinua Acbebe won every honor any book can bestowed on its writer. Achebe's ranked in the first five among books which included the bible. The book has been translated into many languages and formed part of curriculum among major universities in the world. If you think the so-called compromised Nobel prize is a major honor, you are a typical misguided African. Do you know how people who have trashed the so-called Nobel Prize which Achebe could have done too. Chinua Achebe destroyed Joseph Conrad and his heart of darkness with his 1977 classical easy on Africa. Achebe ruffled the feathers of comprised goons on the so-called Nobel Prize committee which decided to get back at him in 1986. Chinua Achebe informed the goons their prize would have been rejected.

"Achebe's ranked in
the first five among books which included the bible." Lmao! Psychosis on steroid.

BKayy:
More like the highest recognition of worshipping.
Achebe is a free man not a white people's worshipper so he has no business in their recognition.
Thank you

Lol, and Soyinka never criticized white people and colonial rule? Someone that even vehemently condemned white rule in South Africa as he was receiving his Nobel Prize in Stockholm is a "white people's worshipper"? Go home dude, you're drunk.

BKayy:
Soyinka went to this and that does not answer my question.
My question is straightforward, tell me one even that was blamed on the influence of Soyinkas book?
Incase you don't know, Google effect of Chinua Achebes "a man of the people"

The fact is, Chinua Achebe never won the highest honour in Literature. He was utterly heartbroken about this very fact till he died miserably. Let that very truth hurt you forever!

BKayy:
Of course, drunk people admire everything.
Just be careful on the gutter next to your joint that you have been admiring because it might be your bed for this night

But what's wrong in admiring your psychosis and mental instability?

Liebermantic:
There are millions of writers who were not celebrated or are yet to be awarded the Prize... Winning Nobel prize isn't the only criterion of success in literature..There are other awards out there which Achebe Won that Wole Soyinka didn't win..
Again,Nobel prize is a political award...
Obama even won it..Soon, Buhari will be nominated for prize on peace

Obama won Nobel Prize in Literature?

BKayy:
Only slaves bask in the praise of their masters.
Thats why we remember Achebe with the title given to him by his fellow black men "Father of Modern African literature" not slave tags from your white gods

Lol, I admire your delusions though.

BKayy:
The man that Nigeria blamed the Coup and every uprising on?
No matter how you put it, no African can match Achebes legacy.
Is it not his "There was a country" that is still tormenting your Nigeria?

Tell me one major effect or minor effect that was attributed to the influence of Whole Soyinka or any Nigerian authors literal work/book apart from Achebe?

What!? Nigeria blamed the coup on Achebe? Are you alright at all? You want to compare Achebe to Soyinka in Civil rights and activism? Are you for real The same Soyinka that went to prison because of your Biafra? Same Soyinka that ferociously opposed Nigeria's military junta till he was forced into exile? The same Soyinka that played a yeoman's role and was the figurehead of the group that fought vehemently to have Goodluck Jonathan installed as Nigeria's President after the Northern cabal wanted to circumvent the constitution after the absence and demise of Yar'adua? You're a monumental clown!

Liebermantic:
How many years was Achebe before his death?
Achebe's " There was a country" has sold over 15 million copies overseas... People are learning and appreciating his side of stories of the Civil war..
Now the Civil war is over, what noticeable difference in wealth does your tribe have over Ndigbo?
Just tell me Just 1

Still doesn't detract from the fact that he died miserably after years of being embittered that he couldn't win the highest honour in Litearture. Did you just claim There Was a Country has sold 15 million copies? Chai! Another IPOB liar spotted! Must you Eboes cook up spurious lies all the time? Na wa oh!

BKayy:
The people you listed, Obi Cubana, Mr Ibu, Ikpeazụ Etc are like albino to you people

Go to bed, psychotic IPOB slowpoke!

BKayy:
See this one that is celebrating certificate of slavery. Now I know that you are an Afonja because only Afonjas celebrate slavery.
Them no born any white man well to give accolades to a man like Achebe that challenged the god status they portrayed to black humanoids like Afonjas.
Thats why Africans revered to Achebe as the father of Modern African literature because he wrote like a man and spoke against white people like a man he is. Not glorifying them like your writers.
No be today Ndigbo started challenging black people's gods in human form

So, the Nobel Prize in Literature is a "certificate of slavery" just because your Eboe brother couldn't win it? Lmao, Eboes and their psychosis.

IDENNAA:
Achebe and Chimamanda's books has been translated more than any other book written by an African. Did you say quality

Oga , the war dealt a devastating blow to the Igbo confidence but we are getting back to the game and this time we are taking everything and more!

But why did your Achebe not win the highest honour in the literary world na?

theTranslator:
they are very dumb aswear

The dumbest and most delusional people on planet earth.

bomb24:
hahahahahaha, the idiot said wole soyinka, the failed writer, the local champion from ogun whose novel couldn't sell upto a thousand copies. wole soyinka can never be in the same sentence with a giant like achebe. soyinka shuld be dragging grounds with chimamanda, the young lady is even well pronounced and known worldwide. her novel "half of a yellow sun" will dwarf anything soyinka would have to offer.

Lol, Achebe that finally died bitterly and miserably after years of being heartbroken that he couldn't win the Nobel Prize (the highest honour in the literary world) that a "failed writer" like Soyinka won? Lmao.

bomb24:
i'm nt surprised that a yorumonkey does nt knw the meaning of achievement. after all chinua achebe achievements is bigger than all yorumonkeys achievement combined.

in a gazillion years to come you alimi slaves will never provide the like okonji iweala from your soured ewedu ethnic group.

Yet, the idiotic Achebe couldn't win the highest honour in the literary world, which has been won by a Yoruba man? And please, what are Iweala's achievements?

Rule 2

Why are you reporting him? Is you people's name "Eboe"?

theTranslator:
I guess obi Cubana is as white as snow

So, you didn't know that Obi Cubana had Kenyan and Sudanese blood hence he's so dark skinned?

BKayy:
Is there any Igbo man that bears Ijaw name?
Why do you people always claim full igbo clan that have no relationship with Ijaw. Not even their mad people look like you guys.
Like how do you guys feel when claiming people that are not even the same skin tone with you people?
You guys are one of, if not the blackest in Nigeria but somehow you want to claim relationship with a group of light skinned people that don't even understand your language.
Na conji abi na craze?

What exactly is wrong with being dark skinned? And, which group of light skinned people are you talking about? You mean a group of light skinned people like Zik, Achebe, Francis Obikwelu, Mr. Ibu, Obi Cubana, Ikpeazu etc? Why do you Eboes hate your dark skinned people so much when vast majority of you are dark skinned? Smh.

Idiko1:
Daniel Igali who did not win anything for Nigeria talk less Ijaw is your hero. He could not stand being Ijaw, he decided to represent Canada in the Olympics. He was never a Nigerian when he won Gold medal. Besides the gold he won for Canada, he remains a local champion.

So, because Daniel Igali represented Canada means he could not stand being Ijaw? Do you mean all the Igbos representing other countries are doing so because they couldn't stand being Igbo?

Juliusmalema:
That's good, am OK with it.

let everyone go their own way.

Of course. But remember that no one is forcing your Eboe people to keep trooping in to Lagos like homeless refugees though. I don't know why they're not moving to Yaounde or Bamenda to be with their Cameroon cousins.

Rugaria:
You guys from yorubaland need to put an immediate end to your moronic fixation on igbos if you're ever going to make progress in life. This topic is about Edo State that's even closer to the South West, but as usual, you have managed to introduce the igbos into it. Them take Igbo swear for una? No other part of this country has an open minded approach to welcoming peaceful strangers to their traditional environment than the South East. Nobody blows the horn over this in the SE because it's a normal tradition... Problem is that folks like you can't compete. I don't know what you will do there that's not already being done by folks there apart from selling agbo ofcourse.. There's no single example of Yorubas being attacked specifically because they're Yorubas in the SE. No attacks against Northerners apart from revenge actions arising from incessant attacks on easterners from Northerners. That can't be said of the South West...

An ezendigbo was "flogged" in Akure! Lagos banned Ézè Ndigbo. Markets dominated by Igbo traders have been burnt down in different parts of the South West. Igbo voters in Lagos were violently stopped from casting their votes during the last general elections by Tinubu and Mc Oluomo and no body in yorubaland spoke up. The Oba of Lagos threatened to push igbos into the lagoon, if they don't vote according to Yoruba interests. The late former governor of Oyo refused to accept the possibility of Makinde becoming the governor of Oyo state because he thought Uche Secondus the PDP chairman is Igbo! You guys sell marshy plots of swamp lands for prices above beachfront estates in Dubai to igbos in Lagos, together with all the extortions from your thugs, but nobody complains. I guess it's the lack of endless protestations that makes you think you are the best..

What a load of batshit-crazy, victim-pimping epistle. Persecution delusions on steroid. You bloody hypocrite! How have you been blind to your people's sickening obsessive fixation on "Tinubu!", "Afonja!", "Yoruba Muslims!" on pretty much every thread on Nairaland that even has nothing to do with Tinubu and Yoruba? How can you turn around to play victim when your own Eboe people do worst?

You mean Eboes are buying swamps in Lagos at a cost more expensive than beachfront estates in Dubai? I think you must be mentally unstable with this your codeine-influenced hogwash.

This clown is even claiming that markets dominated by Igbos are being burnt down in the South West. Where and where? Who are burning the markets?

Ajimobi was in APC, Makinde is PDP, so what business did Ajimobi have with oppossing Makinde because the PDP chairman is Igbo? Are you alright in the head at all? Why do you guys love cooking up batshit-crazy lies just to feel persecuted?

Where were you when Igbos (Ngwas) in Abia placed caskets across the streets of Aba with inscriptions on them that any any non-indigenes who dare vote against their son Okezie Ikpeazu would die?

Instead of focusing on Lagos, what are you doing about your agberos in Onitsha who harrass people every damned day? Your Onitsha agberos even killed a Ghanaian truck driver just last month. Always playing the victim while they are some of the world's most inhospitable people. Bloody Eboe hypocrite!

Juliusmalema:
You don't mean it

Yorubas should be merged to Benin republic

They are same people

Of course, as long as you Eboes are merged with Cameroonians. You guys are the same people.

Chigold101:
Where is Banky W from?

Why not let the guy who claimed Banky W's father is not Yoruba to answer the question?

IJOBA11:
IS BANKY W PAPA A YORUBA MAN?? IS TINUBU FROM LAGOS STATE. ANSWER THIS QUESTIONS FIRST

Are you saying Banky W's father is Yoruba? Please, where does his father come from? I want to learn something new.

mrvitalis:
Rochas father I think is not igbo but he governed imo with total support from imo people

If u contribute to imo development why not

Stop lying oga. If you think Rochas' father isn't Igbo, bring proof.

Poiu11:
No. You can not run. That is the crime tinubu committed

I'm, how does this concern Tinubu? What crime did he commit?

TheSupleemLeada:
My father is yoruba from ibadan, my mum is Igbo from Ideato North in imo state. I've had an interest in politics from very young age, hopefully someday I'd venture into politics and I'd need a platform to start from, am drawn to the south east because my mother's ties with the region, but considering the political climate of nigeria and requirements for running for office would it be possible to claim my mother's side as state of origin? Need your advice.

Lalasticlala would be great if these gets to front page.

Lol, bro. Don't even think about it. Even if you feel more Igbo than Yoruba because of your strong ties to your Igbo mother, you'll be reminded by the Igbos that you're just a bloody Yoruba who has an Igbo mother. But it's possible in the South West if your father was Igbo and mother was possible though. Gbenga Daniel's father for instance is rumoured to be Urhobo or Isoko.

Lol, Igbos will never allow you to do that bro, don't deceive yourself. People that opposed Bianca Ojukwu from representing Anambra South in the National Assambly just because she's from Enugu State? As much as Yemi Alade always screams that she's a Yoruba-Igbo girl and even acts more Igboish than Yorubaish, if she tries going for an elective position in Abia where her mother comes from, the Igbos will definitely remind her that she's just an Yoruba who has an Igbo mother. That's just the truth.

JohnSin97:
Even if you're right....it doesn't answer op's question. Dele has never claimed to be a Yoruba man and hasn't claimed his mother's state of origin. So what point are you driving at?

Oga, this is not a case of "even if you're right." Reasonable and matured mind admit when they are wrong. I don't know what you mean by Dele Momodu has never identified as Yoruba though. But even though his father hailed from Edo State, it's hard for me not to see someone named Otunba Ayobamidele Abayomi Ojutelegan Ajani Momodu - and who also studied Yoruba at the University - as Yoruba.
