McLuhan: Have you studied the said agreement? Personally, I can tell you that I have. I possess both a hard and a soft copy of the agreement and I can assure you that I have devoted hours - and I mean hours - to a meticulous perusal of that agreement. For that reason, I can confidently and solemnly aver that it is a sensible, even modest, proposal for rescuing our universities from the doldrums. Believe it or not, there are no "loopholes" - as you prefer to call them - in that document. The only loophole I see is the insincerity of a government which prefers to acquire additional presidential jets rather than fund education, something which even the most affluent countries, such as the US and UK, would not do and which our neighbours in Ghana would dare not contemplate.Bro, could you send me a copy of the agreement? Thanks. |

ugopeter: From the press conference held today by the ASUU president @ Unilag, Lagos. Here is some of d highlights of the press conference held today. ASUU president: FG should implement the 2009 agreement. Nothing short of that will make ASUU call off the strike.FG has bad faith towards education.FG supported failed banks and airline but when it comes to public education - NO MONEY.Suswan committee was to deceive Nigerians with a promise of N100 b.NASS are collecting much more from the economy more than they are contributing. ASUU has worked for d allowances and ASUU must be paid.Governing council have done post-utme at their own risk. Only academics staff can conduct post-utme exam.Finally, ASUU STRIKE WILL NOT BE SUSPENDED UNTIL THE FG IMPLEMENT THE 2009 AGREEMENT. Ugopeter Uche...LGS reporting LIVE from UNILAGThanks, man!

Yes, I already stated that Osofisan and Raji are outright favourites, I just tipped Amatoristero to put up a fight; although anything can happen. Your thoughts about the prize structure is noted. The organization of the prize encourages writers to write out of their genre (not out of pleasure or ambition but simply to position themselvesfor the prize), and even rush to meet "deadline''. This has the possibility of compromising substance and is potentially detrimental to the development of literature. Alternatively, the prize should be spread across the genres thus: The Nigerian Prize for Poetry, The Nigerian Prize for Prose (children and adult) and The Nigerian Prize for Drama. I felt odd two years ago (or was it last year?) when Prof. Akachi Ezeigbo and Uche Peter Umez were shortlisted for the prize. I'm not really sure. . .does Prof. Ezeigbo originally write stories for kids? |

| Phones › Is Glo Bounce 30MB Fake? by slap1(op): 9:46am On Aug 18, 2013 |
30MB may not be enough to create a post here, but we surely can't ignore the tricks used by these network providers to scam subscribers. I migrated to Glo Bounce, recharged N200 and got 30MB. I spent 20 minutes on nairaland with my phone. When I logged out, the balance was 26MB. Meanwhile, with the 5MB from Glo G-bam, I can browse nairaland for up to 2 hours with the same phone and exhaust just 2MB or less. But with Glo Bounce, I exhausted 9MB under an hour, surfing sites like nairaland, goal and livescores. Now, I'm going back to G-bam because Glo Bounce is a ruse! |

rahamAllah: And do you mean there are no writers who portray the positive side of Africans? Why must the award most time go with those that portrays our odd side?The irony is that you, as a Nigerian, will mostly criticize your country, like we do on this forum, but you are angry when that criticism is recognized and sanctioned outside the country. Let's face the bitter truth: most Nigerians are not happy with the way the country is run, and when we have an opportunity to give voice and life to these negative feelings, we should make good use of it. |

What can I say? I wouldn't want to be among the judges right now! Strong list they got there! Suprizes are wont to spring up in events like this. However, I think Osofisan, Raji and Amatoristero Ede (he briefly edited for Spectrum Books before leaving the country). While Osofisan and Raji needs little or no introduction, it is worthy to note that Amatoristero is no push over! I read some poems from his collected poems, Carribean Blues and it was deep and resounding. . .makes you think of Maxim Uzoatu or the late Esiaba Irobi, who left before the noon of his life. Amatoristero has won the ANA/Okigbo Prize for Poetry and BBC Poetry prize. He may be David among the Goliaths, but literature is different from mathematics; one plus one is not always two! |

tianshie: I do know that Chimamanda shopped "Purple Hibiscus" around to about twenty publishers before it was accepted. Chika and Soyinka were not upstarts when they published those books. Chika had already won the BBC short story competition years earlier, and published "The Phoenix" in dutch before the English. I'm at a coffee shop and the Internet isn't so fast. [s]Could you please google Soyinka yourself?[/s]The bolded explains it all. You did not isolate upstarts in the previous post I quoted. I understand you better now. |

tianshie: Art should not necessarily reflect patterns in the society; it's main object is expression. Anything outside that is coercion. Mediainspired raises a good point: a certain kind of writing is expected of the Third World, because the West requires the existence of the 'Other,' to justify, and relate its own progress (that's well documented), just in the same way the pope declared that exploring empires in Europe could forcefully steal from Africa if it could be proven that, 1, the people were not Christians, and, 2, the natives were a race of cannibals. Not hard to prove number one, and number two, only asked the will to fabricate.You raised some valid points. However, I do not entirely agree with the part where you seem to imply that books that do not reflect the poverty and backwardness of Africa are not usually recognized. Adichie's Purple Hibiscus, Chika Unigwe's Phoenix; Soyinka's The Interpreters, amongst others, are not exactly testimonies of corruption and the 'gutterness' of Africa. Thank you. |

mediainspired: I wish they gave the reason they would no longer award prizes for books, but that's still fine. But I wish Commonwealth Writers' Prize panel would stop giving preference to stories that fit the West's stereotypes of Africa when deciding winners from the continent. I mean, check the winning entries of West-organised international literature prizes, the themes are usually woven around poverty, crime, war, corruption etc even when they're not entirely exceptional works.Literature should reflect the society, and rightly so! If our society is immersed in abject squalour and corruption, why should literature look the other way? And why should the judges fail to recognize stories that are true to the society they project? |
