I know they've been trying to create this thread and finally they did. Silly and  insecure and low self esteem clowns , always starting what they can not finish,





Nuff said,



lol @ more celebrated, How do you get celebrated more that the ultimate celebration which is the Nobel?

Jokers. Wetin Achebe do for Nigeria? The man sit for NY playing oversea demonstration when Soyinka with all his Nobel dey on the ground fighting and risking his life for his country like he's been doing all his life. Achebe don spend a day in jail fighting for his country like Wole soyinka? No of course.


If you don't want to rubbish Achebe, you better keep quiet.

dayokanu:

Global coverage that cant even win a Nobel?

25yrs after Wole Soyinka won his own, Achebe cant even get close. What a shame.

Stoopid thread.
I love and revere BOTH men equally. Both are RARE Africans. They are two sides of the same coin.
Uncommon geniuses.

dayokanu:

But Achebe cant even win a Nobel?

I am sure Wale Adenuga who writes Ikebe Super and Lolly would win Nobel before Archebe

Reeled in like a flapping fish. Any surprises?

What a shame he's on the 100 best selling books. I'm sure he can console himself for not getting that lilly white prize when he looks at his bank.

^^^Baba-tribalism, this thread belongs to the education section, isn't it?.

Eko Ile:

Ode. Na ya brother wey start the re tarded thread be the tribalist?

Shebi we dey warn you clowns to stop starting these dumb threads.

Since you no gree listen, we'll finish it for you.

Andre Uweh:

Ikwikwi apiri api, you didn't answer my question.

Eko Ile:

Olodo. STFU.

Thel altimate celebration , recognition and prestige for an actor is to be awarded an oscar, a musician a grammy, a lit writer a Nobel, not  sales or money.

Decades later, achebe is yet  to be recognized and celebrated with the highest lit honor in the world, no lit honor or prestige.

Achebe might want to go take lesson from Soyinka.

These ibo people sabi make pesin laugh, momey money is everything, no wonder you people kill and kidnnap yourselves for money,

Ah, here he comes, nzogbu, nzogbu. Empty drum.

Ikenga awards > Scandi-polito-aristo awards, okay?

Yes, money is everything, and if it wasn't you wouldn't be nairalands deeply fried political job-mens hype man. No one gives a shit about what white people gave a black man in some white country under white mans rules, just like no one gives a poo what you can do with western strength under western orders, get it? Mazi Chinua Achebe is getting his top 100 books on, and you're telling me what they're saying is Scandinavia. He who says he doesn't like money, ya ke ya.

Dude, listen to yourself !!! Has
pathetic bigotry and animalistic
feudalism turned you to this?
How is Achebe more
representative ( ahead of the
likes of Martin Luther King,
Mandela, Biko ,Nkrumah,
Obama, Marcus Garvey, Bob
Marley, Haile Selassie,
Mohammed Alli, Michael
Jackson, Jesse Owen- the man
who embarrased Hitler- and
many others) as the "only
positive symbol of the black
race"? You are at the top level
of ethnic bigotry i.e the level
where folks lie to themselves and
use nonsensical logic and fantasy
to justify innate inferiority
complex and ethnically
motivated hatred of others.
Achebe and Soyinka are only
literary giants. Many black folks ,
with global influence, will be
viewed as far more "positive
symbols" ahead of those two.
I bow for the type of ethnic
bigotry jam inferiority complex
that would make the black race ,
and all its noble folks through
history, inferior in comparison to
a single Nigerian writer for you.
As a Yoruba man, Soyinka is not
even in the list of the 20 black
folks I admire most let alone
view him as the "only positive
symbol of black race" !!! What a
ridiculous statement. Shame on
you !!!!

moroh:

*Smh* @ thread.
Both men in addition to Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, rank on my list of top three Nigerians.
@Ileke, Soyinka's poems and Achebe's books are boring??!!

I assure you of good remuneration for you recover from your broken life.

[/@Ileke

Always assumed you were, anyway there must be a reason for you to think the book is boring, maybe you read it at a time you were not ready for such a book or maybe you are more into mills and boons than literary work   .


Do not easily assume that I'm the only one who feels that the book was boring. So I'm guessing you'd have to make the same assumption for everyone?
Not a book I'd pick up, somebody wanted to be nice to me by giving me such a boring book]

You may need your head examine. It is either you are nut or one of  bloody, ethnic biased yoruba foolish folk. an international best seller book with 150 languages of translation being boring to you. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
