LiteratureRe: Achebe’s "Things Fall Apart" Named In Bbc’s 100 Stories That Shaped The World by Urchman200: 7:57am On Apr 25, 2019
OkunrinOloro:
Chinua Achebe was a writer of popular folk fiction. Wole Soyinka is a cerebral, philosopher whose writings can only be appreciated by men and women of deep intellect and proven academic credentials.

Comparing Achebe with Soyinka is like comparing the intellectual loftiness of Shakespearean literature with simple African folk tales. It's not a fair comparison because Achebe will always come out looking second best.


There's a reason why one of them won a Nobel Prize and the other was never even nominated.

Just pick up one of Soyinka's books like The Interpreter and compare it with Things Fall Apart. Read both of them and then come back to this forum and tell us which one showed a much deeper insight into the frailties of human nature and eternal struggle between individual freedom and societal norms.

I even rate someone like Cyprian Ekwensi as a better writer than Chinua Achebe.
i don't think that is the reason bro,chenua achebe was more critical about the activities of the white in the event of the colonial rule .who are the awardees?the whitemen, achebe works potrals more of our cultures and heritage than any other story .using noble price to rate achebe might not be fair on him.

This are the lapses I blame baba for

This matter have been dragging for too long

There different types of decisions you make in life

Programmed decision

Tactical decision

Non programmed decision

Operational decision

This particular decision of the leadership of the house is a tactical decision that he should quickly make

Also Boko Haram , insecurity, Fulani herdsmen And others requires all the above mentioned

So decision making is key for Nigeria at this time

Know foot dragging
when u are ashamed of saying this man that I supported has failed, u keep going back and front. And u call yourself leader of tomorrow.

I thought we have an elected president that is in charge of affairs what happened to him ?or did Obasanjo bring this hatred, division ,nepotism and tribalism we are currently experincing in this administration .old men should speak like old men.what is the deference between falana and festus kyamo.

Nothing is creating hatred for average yoruba and igbo man if not politics those we see as our leaders have used this tribal discrimination to build their political empire and we are celebrating them without knowing, they can never preach peace. Because if they preach peace their source of income will close .we celebrate them without knowing that they are our real enemy. How come igbo and only disagree on issues relating to politics.
PoliticsRe: Buhari’s Cabinet: APC Compiles Loyal Members’ List For Appointments by Urchman200: 9:14am On Apr 23, 2019
If the president is going to follow this part again, we should braze up for another 4 years of bad leadership based on party loyalty. This man does not want to redeem himself, and how he can bring in technocrats into his government and leave all those political jobbers. Truth most be told,Buhari has nothing 2 offer Nigeria but I expected him to seek for those that bring in fresh ideas and effect change. If not for the entire country but atleast for the good of the common fulani man that have genuinely believed him and all those that have sincerely supported him.

Good point but don't you find it strange that the legal body that should aggressively defend our laws and constitution are all keeping quiet?
If our teachers and health workers can mount a protest effectively to demand for a change in their welfare, what is preventing our lawyers and the judiciary from doing same?

PoliticsRe: Onnoghen Removed From NJC Membership List by Urchman200: 7:04am On Apr 22, 2019
Elementary knowledge of three organs of government tells me that me the judiciary is a distinct entity. Y is Nigeria own different, let us not establish a bad prisident that will come and hurt us 2morow, 4years is too small to distroyal a system because of one man's interest.they can prosecute onoghen ,no reasonable person will support a corrupt man ,but do it inline with the law and respect other branches of government. Don't usurp their powers.

We need more of this from the likes of Omotola, it makes the nation grow.
Constructive Critism is a good thing is a good thing for the progress of our country.
We are talking about critics who are genuinely concerned about a better Nigeria,. You will know them because when they see good efforts of government they applaud, as she did

It is good for our once battered DEMOCRACY which is only beginning to take shape now.

CelebritiesRe: Omotola Replies Bashir Ahmad For Insinuating She's Not Working For Clean Money by Urchman200: 10:04am On Apr 16, 2019
Sanchez01:
To a reasonable extent, everyone is greedy and somewhat self centered in Nigeria. Omotola's voice is so loud today because 'money is not in circulation' like it used to. In other words, she is affected and has definitely taken upon herself the mantle of the lone voice in the wilderness.

The presidency, on the other hand, has ready made answers and invisible projects cum achievements to show for its many works. Terrorism has leaked and is no longer restricted to the North but to other parts of the country. We seem to be getting more reports of police/uniformed men casualties more than ever and the number one man is mostly concerned about blocking his leaking scrotal sac in the UK. The PDP, on the other hand, are only interested at taking over and sharing the commonwealth of the people.

At this point, all the country needs at this point is an aggressive revolution; one that would see these old men uprooted, irrespective of their political ideologies and religion. But then, this is pipe dream. We are too docile as a people.
keep writing nonsense, money is not circulation as if money is the only problem that is facing Nigeria. Someone like omotola will feed ur entire generation idiot, it has not gotten to u and it will get to u soon.

That is how bad it has gotten ,a government that is not ready to face criticism, without minding were is coming from. As independent as omotola she cannot criticise the government without been tag an ipob or a wailer like most popular naiaraland supporters usually say we are all in dis together I am loving it. I know someone like omotola supported this government one way or the other.

No be Yoruba force una into Nigeria,
No be we say make u do first republic coup,
No be we say make Ironsi collapse the working regions into a Unitary state..
No be we say make Ojukwu declare war on Nigeria..
No be we pursue Ojukwu to run like a fckin sisi...
We just de..de do our thing...
No signed agreement with your people,
neither was there a signed disagreement.

So Nnamdi Kanu..please pursue your goal of Biafra with
the utmost respect for other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.
Wars are won by strategies and not hatred videos and silly propaganda.
Fight the system.....disagree with the government....cool.
Infact I will join you in cursing Lugard and his entire generation.
Cos I want my own country too...I want my own homogenous Yoruba nation.
