you pointless write up is as empty as wole's work and also portrays you as the UNINFORMED one it also points to the one who is a nonentity. Go and read the points outlined by Reno why it was not given to Achebe.Every literature student can tell how illuminating the works of Achebe is in the literary world.

Una see wetin I dey talk...how person wan even start dey engage this one when it's obvious she needs twice the brains to even qualify for an half wit grin

So you've read almost 13 pages of different opinions and you still couldn't garner from the diverse train of thoughts that Reno's notion was hinged on the fact that Chinua's works were easily understood which isn't the criterion for winning a Nobel or just being a novelist.

You had the right to remain silent, but you just couldn't help but prove me right, that you're irredeemably dense. grin grin abeg e don do! Stop proving me right biko!!

In the end, Soyinka spoke so many words and ended up saying nothing in response to the issues raised.

Such an evasive character is not worthy of even the readers digest author of the week award.


You seriously need a slap ( or two for that matter ) for this stewpid comment you made. Take your hate to the grave. Both are good and should not be pitted against each other

what were the issues raised that deserves a response? so you in your mighty foolishness expected WS to come and start arguing why he is better than CA and why he is more deserving of a Nobel laurate.

Just admit you don't understand WS's response, simple.

Bros, me thinks Reno is simply being real.

Did Achebe himself support GEJ?

Have you forgotten that Achebe rejected a GCON national honour from GEJ's govt?

.

Being real by trying to downgrade Soyinka's effort , where is the reality in saying Chinua Achebe is better and that Soyinka doesn't deserve to be Nobel laureate

Replying@renoomokri

Searing of confidence in the readership of Wole Soyinka's appraised works is a futile exercise. But ,in truth and in fact,you reminded us of the philippics of those Ibadan writers of the Bolekaja fame. Further than this, the envy which nearly consumed "Chichidodo",the most vitriolic of Soyinka's critics ,writ large on your face. Lest you forget that Chiweize defied Alexander Pope's description of a good critic and ended his literary career ingloriously.

On the readership of Soyinka ,I am aware of the growing indifference my own indolent generation has cultivated toward critical writings or any thing fashioned in a critical manner(As is the only attribute of his works). This is one of the reasons many cite for such attitude. How on earth is it impossible to realise that Wole Soyinka,notwithstanding the esoteric style he dazzles us with when his writes,has lived for posterity ? The same thing can be said where Achebe is concerned. I would rather you conflated their works in equal terms .

Soyinka might v used big english, but he passed his message clearly. unless u cant comprehend.
he said, Achebe has done well, he deserved his peace. The unwarranted comparison done by emotionally disturbed patients like Reno is not necessary.

I don't get that dig too.

Right from 1986 when he won that stuff, so many of us questioned the judgement at the time because all Soyinkas works were painted in verbose, high falutin words and prose meant to confuse you than unclutter your mind.

Achebe works stood out in their simplicity and direct messages to the issues of the times.

I support Reno on this.

He said many things, some of which are:
1. Don't stick out your neck in matters that do not concern you (stop crying more than the bereaved).
2. The comparison is needles as both of them are legends.
3. Allow the dead to rest in peace and the living to live in peace.
