MirrorofChrist: I don't know why and how African writers have gone down hill. Honestly, I missed old African novels and writers. Achebe, weep not child, the boy slave, the return of shettima etc |

EmperorCaesar: I think that Shakespeare's novels are published only in English language, whereas "Things Fall Apart" has been published in more than 50 languages. |

TKVick: Any list without War and Peace and, Crime and Punishment (Fyodor Dostoevsky) alongside Anna Karenina na fake. Three Russian books. Not to include Candide by Voltaire shows it's actually an anglophone thing but barely included a few others to disguise. |

Not enough to merely state their titles. A brief synopsis of each would help those who may want to check them out. Is it on war, history, politics, religion, romance, etc. |

Authoreety: Dear seun, kindly stop this dude from using bots. I suspect he is using bots. Do good to investigate. Thank you sir. |

Weretuntun: There are literatures you buy and stash as decor pieces... The forementioned book fits that category. |

jamesversion: Prose isn't Soyinka's genre. He is more of a Poet and Playwright. |

Okolo3662: So that Yoruba Nobel Laureate that now imports rice didn't make the elite list? I suspect Obidients. |

Weretuntun:watch d film instead |

tishbite42: It was Achebe that was envious of Soyinka. It was the envy and bitterness that killed him. Soyinka no be him mate. |

viyon02: Achebe was an ordinary novelist. He could not have won Nobel laureate. Those who won laureate are complete writers in drama, poetry, novels Achebe tried his hands on poetry and drama and he failed woefully |

Spandau: Seriously! Is this how u accuse people on this forum? Seun you have to do something about this false allegation. Meanwhile, wats the meaning of bots |
Re: 12 Novels Considered The “Greatest Books Ever Written” by tishbite42: 7:33am On Oct 28, 2023 |
AareGaa:Just 'Things Fall Apart' no be Wole Soyinka mate. There are levels to this. |
Re: 12 Novels Considered The “Greatest Books Ever Written” by AareGaa: 7:57am On Oct 28, 2023 |
tishbite42: Na ibos dey hype Achebe, just the way they hype other failed leaders from their region. It's ibos who will believe that someone as dumb and inarticulate as Obi is better than Tinubu. Ibos are delusional and largely illiterates |

I knew Jane Eyre wud enter. Read that book while in secondary school. Book was kinda boring back then. But I immediately believed it was a classic even in an era where internet was just warming up. Like very boring.. Maybe I'll find it interesting if I try it again |
Re: 12 Novels Considered The “Greatest Books Ever Written” by blowjohn(m): 8:27am On Oct 28, 2023 |
TKVick: Those are interesting books. They are not necessarily classic. I thought 'treasure Island' by Robert Louis Stevenson wud make the list tho. |

Pride and prejudice no deh? |
Re: 12 Novels Considered The “Greatest Books Ever Written” by tishbite42: 9:37am On Oct 28, 2023 |
AareGaa:Igbos are the whole world that have praised the man. From Obama to Godimer to countless number of people. Thank God Tinubu is in the saddle, representative of all Yorubad worldwide, and we can see how dumb and foolish you people are. Even the Fulanis are far smarter than you. Look at the mess we now have in less than a year. You should be ashamed to compare Tinubu and Obi. Even his wife and children won't be stupid to do such comparison. |
