The Apc guys are wrong.

In 2027, many wrongs will make a right.
Nobody wey be mumu.
Obidients go see shege.

If Peter Obi clinches the ADC ticket and runs with El Rufai, Tinubu will be defeated even before voting closes on election day.

Elrufai as vice?
You people are looking to get Peter Obi killed.

Those crying on this thread are from one side of the Country. The people controlled by a content creator.

TruthsFM:
Adeleke's has been rejected totally in APC in Osun State. His second ambition is dead on arrival

Some years ago, when we were warning you about him, you were the one promoting him.

You must support Adeleke o. You don't have a choice

You people don't know anything.

Tinubu was honoured with an honorary PhD. by Adeleke University. Serubawon and Dr. Deji were there. Demola was dancing away his life back then.

Tinubu's Politics is not about personal feelings. It's about personal interests. He's gonna step on many toes to get his reelection.

May God handle your life how Saraki handled Kwara state.

This is the church under His Grace Most Revd Dr. Joshua Abiodun Adetiloye (prelate-Emeritus) I used to know.

From Jasper Akinola's time to Okoh's I don't understand.

Ndukuba Sir, please create Ojo/Festac Diocese biko kwanu.

That Abuja Vicar should be sanctioned heavily and transferred to Etegbin.

Why should he be transferred to Etegbin and not Umuahia, Onitsha or Awka?

As for a new diocese in Ojo or Festac, it's not up to you to decide. The church leadership knows what is best and they will do it.

He has gone to click what he shouldn't click.

This is why people pay for verification. He will get it back.

Is it the same Lagos the drug dealing vagabond built to model Dubai and Paris?

Yes
The same Lagos Peter Obi and his kinsmen run to.

What do you mean Chinua Achebe deserved the year 2000 prize?

In year 2000, Chinua Achebe had not published anything since 1988 when he published his last novel "Anthills of the Savanna".

You expect the Nobel committee to overlook active writers and give it to someone whose last book was published 12 years ago.

When Soyinka won the Prize in 1986, Chinua Achebe had not published anything new in 20 years. His last novel at the time was "A Man of the People" published in 1966.

While Achebe was inactive, Soyinka was publishing every year.


Gao, who won the Prize in 2000, is not well-known in his native China, but being also French, he is well celebrated in Europe.


Many Nobel prize winners are usually not commercial successes like Chinua Achebe. It doesn't mean they are obscure. There are those who read them and they usually belong to a class of readers who value profound writings.


Chinua Achebe was a great storyteller, but he struggled as a writer.


Imagine a novelist of his fame could only boast of 5 novels in his entire lifetime. How could someone who was inactive most of his writing life be awarded a Nobel Prize in a world where there are writers churning masterclasses nearly every year?


Even Soyinka who is not primarily a novelist has as many novels as Achebe. In his genre (play), Soyinka wrote over 30 plays.


The fact is Achebe was not in the same class as many of his contemporaries. He was clearly inferior. The only thing he had going for him was the success of just one of his books, "Things Fall Apart". He lived in the shadow of that book until his death while other writers like Mahfouz, Gordimer, Coatzee, Gurnah were publishing powerful books and winning the Nobel Prize. His only day strength was his role as editor of the African Writers Series through which he helped many writers, including Wole Soyinka and Nadine Gordimer, to get published. This role earned him the title of "Father of African Literature."


A very lame title, considering that he only wrote novels. He wrote poems too, but no one regards his poems.


Father of African literature with only 5 novels. For context, Chukwuemeka Ike published close to 15 novels. And they were widely praised. Shouldn't he too have won the Nobel Prize?



What about Ben Okri who is way more profound and prolific than Chinua Achebe?



If any Nigerian writer should have won it after Soyinka, it wouldn't have been Achebe, as he never deserved it.


Ben Okri, Femi Osofisan, Niyi Osundare, JP Clark are some writers who would have won it ahead of Achebe.

Considering that music is poetry with rhythm and sound, even Portable is better than Chinua Achebe.

SeeWahala:
Soyinka backstabbed all well meaning Nigerians when he went to receive that novel prize after agreeing to boycott the ceremony due to the happenings at the time.

Everyone ekse stayed back but he alone sneaked off to steal the prize just as his kinfolk are known to do till this very day.

2faced and backstabbing turncoats never end well in life

When did Soyinka agree to boycott the Nobel?
The some Nobel Achebe begged for severally and never got.

The same award that you are crying that Soyinka got is what Achebe spent his latter years chasing and never got.

When he got into an accident, his kinsmen were blaming Soyinka just as you are.

He died frustrated and GEJ made sure he was unrecognized.

nairalanda1:
Oga, I am not here to play your Igbo vs Yoruba tribal games.

Better grow out of this tribalism. IN my life, a lot of people who have been good to me, a guy from a minority tribe, have been Igbos and Yorubas.

If you want to waste your life on online bigotry, continue.

I still stand by what I said, and I read both writers and many more.

Did you see me mention Igbo or Yoruba in my post?
I said literature has Prose Poetry and drama. How did Achebe fare in poetry and drama?

You started crying.

nairalanda1:
Achebe is as good as Soyinka. Soyinka deserved his price, but Achebe deserved the 2000 prize...someone who has been published in several languages, and can tell an engaging story like Soyinka....yet he lost to a obscure chinese author.

Which Achebe?

Achebe is a storyteller, not a literary genius.
He told his stories just how the white colonialists saw Africa. That's why he never won a Nobel.

Go check out Soyinka's books. They open your brain and blockheads can't understand them. There's his book, The Interpreters. Mad book. If you read without eating, you can run mad.

Literature has Prose Poetry and drama. How did Achebe fare in poetry and drama?
Yet you are comparing him to Soyinka.

Xox1945:
Tinubu and Shettima brought boko Haram to remove Jonathan from office.
Apc how market

But Boko Haram started under Yar'Adua. How did Tinubu now bring Boko Haram?

Education and exposure is nothing to these ones.

Poor man pikin ehn.

Piggyvest is not a bank; it is a fund manager. The organisation that oversees them is the SEC, and they are registered. Please screenshot below

Piggyvest holds a Microfinance license that enables them hold deposits.

PV Capital was recently incorporated to ensure compliance with SEC rules on collective investments.

SEC rules mandates disclosure of books of licensed fund managers. Is PV Capital complying with that?

My brother, I use Piggyvest but I'm curious enough to know the inherent risks.

ruggedtimi:
baba even if physical bank close with ur money...nothing you go do. Ask heritage bank Customers.

Heritage bank customers were refunded by the NDIC. That's because NDIC insures Piggyvest.

Ask yourself if Piggyvest has NDIC cover.

Long-trip fatigue

Thieves. What is investigative charges? Same Akunyili they shot in that Market? You all are criminals.

No payment, no reopening.
Next time you see your neighbours selling fake drugs, you will open your mouth.

Their kinsmen are already insulting the NAFDAC DG. Same people who tried to kill Dora Akunyili.

This one has a mental problem. He's always the one causing media problems for his principal.

Mariangeles:
They should be banished from their community.
Such bad influence to the young ones.

The law does not recognise banishment.

They will still defend him.
Just dey watch

In a country where armed men are killing people everyday, your government is more interested in who made threats on video? Truly shameful

They can kill a million of you, but no one cares. The day you make a threat about others outside your region, you will realise that a dog in other places is more valuable than the lives of all your kindred.

mrvitalis:
What exactly is the offense here please... I'm serious trying to get it

Go and get someone to translate the Criminal Code into igbo language

Please help me, things are terrible for me, I want to end it all. My baby has not eaten. I can't afford her cereal. I am totally drained that I can barely afford clean water for us to drink. I'm tired of this life. I want to give up. Please help us if you can. My account details is in my profile. 🙏

Sell your phone.

Where will his votes come from?

Your 3% votes are inconsequential. You gave your son 90% of your votes. What came out of it?
