Vinnie2000:Son, you're so ignorant. Oputa panel was commissioned and empowered by the FG for reconciliation purposes. Justice Oputa could not have done anything on his own without the Govt empowering it. 36 Likes 6 Shares |

Vinnie2000:I don't know if your eyes just glazed over this, but LegendHero already pointed out that all of this is a lie, just a few comments before yours. What is more, this same Wole Soyinka that you and Charlie Boy are pouring out such venom over is the man who was thrown in prison and served 25 months in solitary confinement - far worse than the already terrible prison experience - for his attempts to broker a ceasefire during the Biafran War. When have any of Soyinka's Igbo critics ever made a sacrifice of similar magnitude? How many of those carelessly projecting their own tribal chauvinism on the man could have gone through such an ordeal without going mad? It's irritating enough to see blatantly false and self-serving accusations of "Igbophobia" and the like thrown around simply because others dare to take a different view, but seeing the character of one of Nigeria's only true heroes routinely besmirched by clannish sore-losers is particularly galling, especially because Soyinka stood up for the Igbo cause when the likes of Azikiwe were safely abroad, and the envious Achebe - unlike Soyinka - never once stuck out his neck for anyone other than his own people. 61 Likes 11 Shares |

Nothing new. Most ibos are that way. Their hatred for Soyinka didn't start today. They always hated him for outshining that bigoted Achebe. Besides, isn't this the same Charlie ediot that was recently accused of pedophilia? 54 Likes 8 Shares |

Vinnie2000:People watch porn more than anything on the internet People eat more McDonalds than anything else does not make it good or healthy from your logic porn is BIGGER than anything since it is The most popular thing on The internet The truth is literature is not commercial writing otherwise James Hadley Chase and Jackie Collins would win Nobel prizes Things Fall Apart was nothing spectacular literally. It is a good read at the level of secondary school level. What is the summary of Things Fall apart?Have you read it? It's appeal was it was A FIRST. Published at a time when no one has published anything out of Africa and the world wanted to see what Africa had to offer. Nigerian government promoted it by using it's influence to make it compulsory reading for WAEC across West Africa . Books were read across Africa in the post colonial era because the Nigerian government promoted them. Secondary school level writing is what Achebe was good at. Soyinka wrote plays. He is a playwright like Shakespeare as well as a poet. He is not primarily a novelist. His plays have been performed at the Natiional Theatre in London. Literature is not just about novels So.if you want to talk Nobel Prize in literature for the last 20 years do not look for the author of Harry Potter,Robert Ludlum ,Jackie Collins etc Look for INTELLECTUAL works Ben Okri,Christopher Okigbo and many other Nigerians have published much greater works than Achebe who wrote for children 90 Likes 16 Shares |

Vinnie2000:In the mind of jealousy Igbo. The nobel price committee disagree. Achebe only write prose for secondary school student. Soyinka writes drama,prose,and poems, stage actor and director and a singer.He is am embodiment of literature, Achebe is just a fraction. 49 Likes 8 Shares |

To those comparing both Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe just to make out one is better than the other, please stop. The greatness of one doesn't lesson the greatness of the other. They are both eminent Nigerians that should be respected for their achievements in putting the country on the world map. 15 Likes 2 Shares |
