Vibra: God bless you for this.. Why will I get Americana for #2500 when I can get something from another author for less And we talk about patronising our own?? I would pay a million naira for any work by Chimamanda, look the thing is value, it's like Samsung and Techno, follow that line of thought. |

IdomaLikita: You killed it Op..however, the publishers and ministries of education & information (& culture) share a huge chunk of the blame. Apart from the usual waec, neco compulsion, I don't see any overt or covert attempt to glorify African writers by the above mentioned. I am eternally grateful to my mum for inculcating the reading culture into me at an early age inspite of our low socioeconomic status...from " Ladybug Series" to "African Prose and Literature", by my teens, I was devouring Alexander Dumas, Dostoyevsky, Orwell, Max, Nietzche, Dante, Machiavelli, Plutarch,Doyle, Twain, Bronte etc..not forgetting the Elechi Amadi, Soyinka, Achebe the Great, Chukwemeka Ike, etc.
I beg the FG to sponsor a project in collaboration with patriotic publishers aimed at digitization of all African literature and to be made available as apps online for our kids to access. Also sponsor recitation and rendition of African books same way Govs dole out money to winners of quranic recitation competitions.
Nice piece I must say I appreciate my mum for her impact as well, I love literature, literally, and I must say I know only a few of those you mentioned, could you send me a list of some of the books by them, I'm a writer you see, so I love works pertaining to writing,and I'm a big fan of African contemporary writers, and would pay over the odds for any of their works, for me I just feel the major problem is accessibility, that's all. I quote you with t mind that you are a sport. |

By the way I forgot to include that the OP is silly, given that he exposed us to this informative post for him to come say now that God bless yoruba race sparking some deluded tribe hate filth on this thread is simply unacceptable, I'm utterly disgusted. |

People who come here to say he is yoruba and yoruba is the best tribe need to seriously get a test/ brain test, cos it's his achievements not Yorubas or either one of you saying he is from yoruba, hell it's not even Nigeria's achievements and you are all here claiming keypad warriors of the Nairaland West, lol, it's his I repeat his!. And if anyone of you took the time to read all of this there wa no part that he read in Nigeria both his masters and PhD were abroad, he didnt even do a single thing that would benefit Yorubas only, it was for the world so you guys should just go do something worth what the guy did other than coming here to make a mockery of your tribes by chest beating, capisce? |

I have three things to say maybe four 1)he didn't deserve that kind of lengthy sentence,yes he committed a serious crime but compared to the things we have been hearing of late that went unpunished,e.g saraki,diezani, this is just minute, although a crime, says a lot about our justice system, three or four years is enough punishment 2)all those saying his yoruba and stuff like that should be a little mature, tbh 3)there is a big difference between tribalism and ethnocenterism 4)remain blessed |

We make mockery of artistry when we decide to compare and contrast it, forgetting that creativity is variations of no constant. Art is not target specific, it is for a different set of individuals for whom a specific work( art) was intended for, so a writer might capture me with his/her style of writing while another might not, but me saying that my preference supersedes others is utter delusion. My point of view. 1 Like 1 Share |
