Literature › Re: Adichie Focuses On Nigeria's Present For Novel by sholay2011(m): 3:23pm On May 03, 2013
shymexx: Age is nothing when it comes to literature and Ben won the Booker Prize(the alternative to the Nobel Prize) with The Famished Road in 1991... However, the debate is about who the best writer is... and Ben Okri is miles ahead of Adichie...

You don't really get that African realism/spiritualism/"culturism"/traditionalism mixed with modern fiction with Adichie's style... and that's what separates African writers from the rest of the world - the ability to mix Africanism and modernism to tell a story with international appeal...
Chairman, go siddon joor. We get it, you are Ben Okri's ardent fan. U re comparing him to our 35-yr old Chimamanda. Abegi! Age does not really mean your works become better per se; but it matters. Ben Okri is 54 for crying out loud.

shymexx: The storyline and concept won't win her any awards...

She needs to write about violence/controversies... Boko haram would be a great subject matter IMO... Controversy/violence sells - hence why her "Half of a Yellow Sun" was/is a bestseller...
You will be surprised but this book would win awards. Just wait and see. cool

Celebrities › Re: 2face To Tour Schools To Inspire Students by sholay2011(m): 9:09pm On May 02, 2013
As much as this is not a bad idea, I don't see it as a good one either.

An economy should always find its balance and ensure youths are productive in a way that drives the country forward.

At this stage of Naija, youths are overexposed to the arts and every tom, dick and harry claim he/she can sing or act or just shake bombom for lewd-lyricd musical videos.

Talent shows range from 'Nigerian Idols', 'Project Fame', 'Gulder Ultimate Search' nd d least meaningful- 'Big brother Africa'. While these shows help us spot young talents, the good is for an individual, not the nation's GDP.lol.

But when scientific inventions, discoveries are given space to breathe, it has an impact on the economy when harnessed. So, we also need TV shows that focus on these aspects.

China may not have an outstanding 'chinawood' (as in Nigeria for Nollywood), dia musicians may not be winning MTV awards up nd down, but they are a threat to USA already in becoming world power.

In a nutshell, I hope I have convinced and not confused you that- 2face is a wrong choice to go inspire secondary school students. They already have enof inspiratn from the various musical talent shows that grace our TV screens.

Family › Re: Why Do Most Fathers Die Before Mothers? by sholay2011(m): 6:54pm On May 02, 2013
MMotimo: This is getting serious
First, it was, staying home made it more likely you would end up with an abusive husband, never mind that segment called courtship during which 90%of a person's behaviors are apparent
Then we heard you hadno self-esteem if you stayed home
Now we hear staying home is likely to cause the man to die early and not see a Doctor when he needs to, never mind that it is not an affordable choice if he has to work himself to the ground.

Btw, debrief, most Naija households do not live on a single income, that is not true. Just last week, you said you discussed staying home with your spouse but he disagreed. Does that then mean your considering it was because you wanted to harm him undecided or how does that now translate into something bizarre for those who can afford the choice?
What da hell are u saying? undecided

I thought he said he is now a man of God and has FORGIVEN them cos his fellow stars didn't 'rally round' him when he was struck down. So, why say this on the media since you've forgiven them?

A poster above has said it all. An adult should know that this life is Me, myself and I. Family sometimes disappoint let alone colleagues who also have their problems.

Thank God that you're alive and stop ranting about how your health palaver is everybody's responsibility.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Graduate Management Trainee Of Cadbury Nigeria Plc. by sholay2011(m): 7:40am On May 02, 2013
Op, this is the job/vacancy section bro. You would likely get better responses from the Career section where people who work in food industries and even Cadbury specifically may respond to your question.

Many ppl here are itching to be in your position. It's not that wise to come bother them with another burden of yours.

And btw, change d thread title jare. I even thought it was Cadbury calling for graduate trainees so I could apply not knowing it's someone seeking for an info. Don't be pathetic.

Career › Re: Should Prostitution Be legalized in Nigeria? by sholay2011(m): 10:15pm On May 01, 2013
Since this is not the religious section, I would talk from an economic point of view.

Legalizing prostitution would at first reduce the unemployment rate in the country (don't be surprised males too would join in this line of business).

When legalised, the government can tax them which brings in revenue for the nation, therefore adding to the GDP.

I also believe they would have a recognised association which would help in structuring their activities and their modus operandi more, so that wud hopefully reduce young women falling into the hands of ritualists and so on.

It may also reduce social vices like armed robbery since ppl have a better option of earning using bedmatic skills. grin

And it shouldn't be restricted to Females alone to make it more effective. And btw, the government should emphasize that indecent dressing isn't tantamount to 'making it big in the industry' so we don't see half-naked ppl on the streets all day in the name of selling their 'goods'.

Violence was adapted to the screen sumtym ago. I can remember being mentioned in Punch that Liz Benson played the role of 'Queen', though, I haven't read the book.

Thanks to Mainframe, some wonderful books like 'Koseegbe' by Akinwumi Ishola has been adapted to the screen.

They are the most faithful in terms of adapted screenplay. I think dat category needs to be created in the AMA awards. So that screenwriters don't think everything is about developing an idea from d scratch, even if it is trash.

I would love to adapt that 'Agbako nile tete' of a book. The suspense is top-notch. Damn! I hope I can find d book sha.lol

Seun: Purple Hibiscus could make a great movie. The role of the protagonist's dad could launch an actor's career if.well performed.
The dad was the antagonist I think, not protagonist...

2. 'Ojo buruku esu gbomi mu'- Another Yoruba book I enjoyed.

3. 'Joys of motherhood' by Buchi Emecheta.

4. 'Purple Hibiscus' by Chimamanda.
