Only a fool will argue with someone like you

People like you lack the ability to reason

Can't waste my time on a Buffoon

Go play with sand

Attention seeking clown.

Abeg dey go.

MoneyMan5:
Everyone is not a dumb ass like you

Only an egoistic fool argue blindly even when he know he is wrong

Shut the fucckk up and go and play with sand.
Highlight where I am wrong in my previous posts and give cogent reasons.

I am going to embarass you this morning.

MoneyMan5:
But Science and Technology is more important and no one have to tell you that if you have brain unless you want to continue arguing blindly

If I ask you to give me cogent reasons, you would not be able to give reasons beyond that of a 10 year old child.

Illiterate.

Scientists are regarded as the most intelligent and creative peeps on planet earth..

Their discovries and inventions forms the basics of industrialization and civilization which the whole world can be thankful for
Take 4 instance, the likes of M. Faraday that invented electricity, peeps that invented mobile phone, television, internet, cars and other earth moving equipments etc. without these things, we would still be living in the stone age.

Novels and speeches has never been seen as the bedrock for industrialization and national development but science and technology is and will always be..
Though i consider Adichie as role model sha

Science and technology is not the only sign of a developed society.

Even the whites that developed modern science also developed arts as well.
They don't joke with their arts because it is the seat of their civilisation.

Beethoven, Handel, Michelangelo, Schubert,Tolstoy, Twain are worshipped in Europe as much as Einstein or Newton.

Perhaps, you don't read a lot. That is why you are stuck on this bland lecture. Read more, my friend. Ever listened to an economist recently?

Ogbeni, you are a bigot.
I just decided to humour you and you did not prove me wrong.

Listen to this and tell us if you have heard anything as intelligent in a while.

This lecture has been analyzed and re-analyzed by many western think-tanks.

BluntBoy:
So giving great speeches is now another genius stuff? I don't suppose Einstein was an orator and yet he was such an intelligent fellow.

Adichie is a good writer. But frankly, there is nothing special about her 3 novels. Her themes never go beyond love, racism, and feminism. She has never tried anything new. Her novels read at best as Mills and Boons, only more serious, especially Americanah where she tried to put racism and hair into a bland love story.

Mr man, I don't know the kind of tribal induced bad Belle you have.
She is an artist not an.engineer.
Her brilliance is.showcased in arts.
And the rest of the world respects her intelligence.
All Her books are best sellers, even if you don't like them for whatever reason.

Her speeches are not just good. They are cerebral as expected from a highly intelligent artist.

I would take the opinion of Harvard and Yale over a nairalander whose post history is the definition of bigotry.

BluntBoy:
Read my first post. I wrote that intelligence and creativity share a relationship. But to say Adichie is one of the most intelligent persons by virtue of a novel is mere exaggeration.

As a matter of fact, writers (aside technical writers) are not known to perform very well on the intelligence scales. There is hardly many things they can manage.

Leonardo da Vinci was a polymath. He was as much of a scientist as he was an artist. And no, Beethoven and the others were never regarded as some of the most intelligent. They were described as very creative. If you were talking about some of the most intelligent people to ever live, you would be talking about people like Pythagoras, Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, and many others whose works revolutionized learning and solved problems.

Adichie is highly intelligent. One of the most intelligent women alive.
That is a fact even Harvard and Yale agrees with as she is the first African to ever be nominated to give a class day speech in both highly esteemed ivory towers.

Her literary works are brilliant piece of art that further re-enforces that theory.

Both of her TED talks are two of the most viewed and sophisticated ted talks of all time.
"The dangers of a single story" speech she gave on TeD talk is magnificently cerebral.

I want to assume you are objective, but your post history gives you away.
I will keep watching.

BluntBoy:
Check my post again. I am not ranking them. Rather, I am explaining their differences.

Being creative does not automatically mean that you have a high IQ. That is the point. My intentions were never to rank one above the other.

You can be intelligent without being creative.
But you cannot be creative without being intelligent.

And the higher your IQ, the more sophisticated your creations become.

This theory is more profound especially in the arts as evidenced by the lives of Leonardo DA Vinci, Michelangelo, Handel, Beethoven, e.t.c.

These men are some of the most intelligent men to ever live.

BluntBoy:
There is a relationship between creativity and intelligence

Adichie is certainly very creative, but she is certainly not one of the most intelligent by virtue of a book. If you are looking for the most intelligent people on earth, you might want to look in the fields of science such as mathematics, physics, and medicine.

One difference between Adichie and a Nobel prize winner in chemistry is that Adichie is able to refurbish old stories and tell them afresh (creativity), while the Nobel prize winner in chemistry is able to apply acquired knowledge into solving problems (intelligence).

Intelligence plays a huge part in creativity but being creative does not equate to having a super high IQ.

Bull.

Creativity is the highest mental realm. The greatest and most sophisticated inventions of man were born from creativity.

And yet she still choose to travel with the Nigerian passport.
That is patriotism. Who don big don big.
