A good one from the North

Lol. You people always trying to reap where u didn't sow. Who told you that he's Nigerian?

I can't shout... Abi you want to drag what does not belong to Nigerian again ni ooooo. Na wa ooo

Kellie069:



So everybody on this forum is Nigerian ?

Franklyspeakin:
First the quantity of hate you carry knows no bounds
Secondly don't gloat he taught in bayero for just 2 years... I wonder why he left so soon.
Thirdly this buttresses the fact that success has many friends
Fourthly this is a win for Nigeria don't use it to cause a tribal war again. Nigeria is already too divided stop encouraging the division the more. Ohhh he isn't even a Nigerian so why the hate then??
Peace be with you

The man is a Tanzanian and not a Nigerian. How is that a win for us?

He is Tanzanian

Good news from the North....brilliance abound in Nigeria. Only problem is there are more stupid people

Congratulations to Prof. Abdulrazak.
Salman Rushdie or Ben Okri should be the next winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

I f I ever win it, it would be for my poetry.
I have three books of my original poems. But only two of the books are notable.
My magnum opus is coming.

Lolz

Those bandits couldn't tell. To them, the award diminishes Soyinka. Very daft fellows.

fergie001:

His "Weep Not Child" is one of my all-time favourite.


Did you see anywhere in the article that says he is Nigerian?

No. But Mentioning that is a Bayero University, Kano [Visiting] Lecturer from Tanzania would have been more sincere. Being disingenuous is withholding relevant information that'll help others process a story better.

NICE

Abdulrazak Gurnah has won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature award.

Gurnah has until his recent retirement been Professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in Canterbury, focusing principally on writers such as Wole Soyinka, James Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Salman Rushdie.

He was born in Zanzibar in 1948 and went to Britain as a Student in 1968.



SOURCE

His novel "Paradise" was shortlisted for the Booker's Prize in 1994.

Where's Chinua Achebe's prize with his ' if handshake passes beyond the elbow ,it has become a fight ' trash ? The Igboman and mediocrity are like 0's and 1's in computing, you can't take one and leave the other !

Lolz don't mind them jare

Don't mind the morons who don't read before commenting.
Reading does not kill
Why do majority of Nigerians prefer gossiping to reading?

When will a black African win a nobel prize for any of the sciences?

Great Win for Nigeria, Great win for Africa!
This is highly commendable and worth the celebration.

my daughter. We need to celebrate this WIN.
Congratulations to the awardee.

I can’t comprehend sir/ma

Asour:
No.

You answered the question already. No where it was stated he is Nigerian.

But Mentioning that is a Bayero University, Kano [Visiting] Lecturer from Tanzania would have been more sincere. Being disingenuous is withholding relevant information that'll help others process a story better.

Are you OK now?

Springboot:


This is unnecessary

seun allowed politics section moderators to fester tribal bigotry, we're lucky Nairaland doesn't have Facebook's amount of users if not Nigeria would have burnt down by now

Calling a group of people pigs and a cerebral like Chinua Achebe overrated paints a very awful picture of you, man.

Even Wole Soyinka whom you tried to defend with this comment would recoil from you.

Is this man a Nigerian, why this childish rant?
