hifaif1: Prolific and wordy do not make a good writer!!! Your parameters have damaged this thread already!!!
Adichie produces voluminous works but she can't be said to be prolific yet!!! She has only published 3 novels and a collection of short stories!!! What is prolific about that. If you want prolific writers from Nigeria, check up on Wole Soyinka, Cyprian Ekwensi and Bayo Adebowale!!!
Moreover, saying Adichie is more prolific than Achebe is wrong!!! In a space of less than 8 years, Achebe published four great novels!!! How many has Adichie published since she has been writing Just three!!! She is good but not prolific yet!!! And yes, she is winning awards!!! But it is an insult to compare her with Achebe!!! Even if she wins the Nobel Prize one day, opening threads like this would be with discretion!!! What are your own parameters? |

joshuaidibia: no need. U said Amanda is 'closer' to Dan Brown,yes? That's were u got it all wrong. Erase that word 'close'. Do you know the amount of research that is been done when he writes his book? I mean,take a look at his acknowledgments. Am typing this now with a copy of Dante Inferno on my lap You really should read my post again.I said 'CLOSER to Brown than Achebe'.Adichie also does a lot of research before writing (See Half of a Yellow Sun).And by the way,Brown wrote 'Inferno' and not 'Dante's Inferno'. |

Akshow: Not to rubbish Achebe's achievement in the literary world. He is a pioneer and a master of the craft of story telling but Chimamanda is a far better writer.
Majority of those shouting Achebe most probably are just hero worshipping and have never read a single book of Chimamanda. Achebe is a good story teller while Chimamanda is a better literary artist. So true. |

Tinu02: Thank you. Very shallow comparison. To me chimamanda is good like every other write but nne no dey compare warri wolves to barcelona. If you have read books by Sidney sheldon and dan brown you won't open this thread in the first place. What is this?How did you come by your Barcelona/Warri Wolves analogy? I have read every book written by Sidney Sheldon and Dan Brown and I tell you that Chimamanda is way closer to these guys than Achebe. |

Image123: Lol, the topic of hell is not very appealing and i would not deceive you into thinking it is. Many people were offended by some messages of Jesus as they were blunt sometimes and not what people expected to hear. i know many people that like God and all but don't believe his idea of hell. All sinners will go to hell, that is the truth and i hope not to colour it. The thing is this, if you do not have eternal life, you go to hell. It is not really about works. Sin is worse than a virus, an infected file is an infected file, no matter how big or useful it is. If the virus is not taken away, such file cannot be allowed into some critical infrastructure. That is how sin is. Whether the sin is small or big is not what throws you out, it is whether sin is there or not. When you are cast out into outer darkness, then you are judged according to your works, how big or how small. It is like fast foods thrashing out spoilt food or expired food, or a chemical laboratory destroying an infection like ebola. Even if it is small ebola, once it is detected, you are quarantined no matter your status or how funny or educated or rich you are. All sinners shall have their part in hell. Are you saying that there are different temperatures in the various parts of hell? |

You are a total m0ron.If you had paid any attention in biology class.You would have known the answers to these infantile questions you are asking.[quote author=ExplicitContent post=45238933]As far as am concerned the OP is still very pointless,clueless and confused.. this basis for your Lost was conformed out of the desire to know everything.. and even as the bible has provided us with every knowledge we will seek of you never used it. You were in a haste to disagree with God. You claim to serve God and gave him your all and all but you were restricted to a single entity of worship. From the little questions and post you'v made I can see you are empty. You never had knowledge. You were just doing works base on spirituality alone which is far from being the basis to ascertain a true Christian. Your doings were base on routine and obligations. Not by belief, love and submission.
You'd not read your Bible completely and for full understanding cause if you did you wouldn't be asking some childish questions am seeing on here. Who told you you saw it all? I laugh. You were just about miracles,healing and spirituality which is very limited to a single entity of service. And does not in anyway uplift your purity,righteousness, knowledge,conformity and true relationship with the Holy spirit.
Okay look at you now. You sitting on the fence about God's excellence and you not ashamed. How will you in your right senses now say there is no God. Do you know the source of the food you eat? What is water? Where does it pours out from. Why will one seize to exist if he stops breathing? What's behind the mystery of air in open. What is actually beneath the earth(ground) you have your legs on. Have you travelled by air before? Do you see those heights? Look at you! |where were you when I layed the earth's foundation? Tell me if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know. Who stretch a measuring line across it. On what were the footings set? Or who laid the cornerstone - Job 38 :4-6 Your lost son.
|Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death? Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me if you know all this- Job 38 16-18.. oh lord. OP, who endowed the heart with wisdom and gave understanding to the mind? Who pours out rain? Who directs the way of the lightening bolts. Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with flood of water? (excerpts from the book of Job)
Stupid kids who persist in foolishness you don't know it's only by God's power you exist(whether u believe in him or not) now you declare war on the lord when before you were born he form you in the uterus. |who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me - Job 41:11
You are condemning God to justify yourself? Listen here, The perfections of God are not affected by human opinion. everything in the universe is under his control,his rule and dominion. If you like believe if like don't, you don't affect the existence of anything not even yourself. Can you create a leaf? Or an ant. You claim you were close to God yet you sound too ignorant(indeed you are) to know basic/deep truths.. how could you ask such a clueless question as why God allow people to suffer in earth. In this Age. You forgot your genesis, the sin of Adam, the 1st destruction,2nd destruction, God's promise not to destroy earth again. His sovereignty,the coming of christ,its significance. . Gracious God! See, Even in the farthest galaxy God has the glory,consistency for God is a none category. One coolest thing is that even uponst all these you have done, if you eventually ask God for forgiveness his will forgive you. He is too merciful & gracious. The calculation is 36,000ft below sea level about 7miles deep. I don't use hell or eternal damnation as the basis of making people understand why they need to serve God. Rather, the fear of God because He is the creator of the universe and everything in it. God in His essence is infinite, transcendent,unlimited,exorbitant and omnipresent. There's not one sector or section that's left unaffected by his perfection. Look, you can't fathom His understanding, we are like babies to him. His power can't be compared, even got exhaustive knowledge non can share..(not even you) Believe me you were too shallow in your acclaimed service to in God.
And when I look at the lost ones with you..Sometimes I wish I could play God for a day, I will open up the gates let the world see my face, remove all doubts from the ones |

Danyl: Just like Job asked God several questions but never received any answer, but when God finally answered him, he knew outrightly that he has sinned against God. God is our father but He can't be taken by surprise, however one thing is certain, when God decides to bring you back to His fold you will be surprised. He is not done with you yet. Sometimes it takes that little extra to see things the way God see things. There is only a very thin line between truth and error but many have slipped into error thinking they are still in line with God, and some think they are on the right path but they totally slipped into error, it will take God nothing to redeem you but for those who are once enlightened, who have tasted of the heavenly gift, that have known the power of God, and of the ages to come, if they slip away it is impossible for them to be brought back but my prayer is that this will not be your portion. There is light at the end of the tunnel. One of the scientists who was an atheist realized on his sick bed that truly there is God but he never did accept Christ before his demise. my believe is that the very basis of atheism is 'there is no God', but the end will justify the means. Linus..name the scientist. |

Millex: God is not Dead, in the end we would know who's right or who is wrong, just pray to be on the right side. It's however not a competition, life, salvation is a personal Journey. I choose to work out my own salvation with Jesus with fear and trembling, It's a personal Journey. Lucifer grew too wise and rebelled again God, man that God created are becoming too wise and rebelling against God. God is just watching, devil is busy laughing and rejoicing, in the end who would laugh last? Only God knows. Man would always search for answers it's what happens when the fruit of knowledge of good and evil has been eaten. God in his mercies tried to save us this stress but devil constantly rebelling against God did his best and succeeded in Adams case, God had to raise Jesus to come, become the divine lamb, with pure and divine blood. To be the final sacrifice, no longer do we need to shed blood of animals. Wisdom of man trying to quantify God is the reason why you can't understand God. Why do bad things happen? and all? Why did he heal the blind village head? Why not ask God at the end of time. Remember Daniel prayed for sometime and didn't get answers till God showed him what was happening in the spirit realm. Maybe that's why God didn't answer your prayers, maybe there's another reason. God really doesn't need to prove himself to anyone, if you won't believe you won't believe. That's why the rich man was told even if the dead come back to life to tell you about God and all man who won't believe won't believe. I laugh however the manifestation of the endtimes when man would be wise of his own knowledge, the rise of false prophets and people who have become too familiar with God, who has known God too much. It's sad however that many would be swayed by vain wisdom. To all who have known God and we're swayed, Jesus is still knocking on the door your hear, to those who never knew, I pray you encounter Jesus like saul-paul you too would make a great apostle. To those holding steadfast to your faith, hold on to the faith, do not sleep nor slumber, be wise to the devices of the devil. Rev 22:11-12: He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still, and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according to his work. Happy workers day. Look at your signature.You are wasting your mind. |
