Lol.

Justice Oputa of Supreme Court of Nigeria is not in league of Wole Soyinka of this world; a Nobel laureate be it in physics, literature or any field at all is a once in a life time occurrence. I remember WS, Desmond Tutu, Mandela and only a handful in that league in this African generation.

To put in proper context, place Mandela, Obama, WS, Desmond Tutu, Dalailama, now place Justice Oputa in the fray. You would instantly spot him as the odd one out.

WS nor be Charly Boy papa mate.

abeg tell them o. Dem go envy and hate tire!

LegendHero:
Achebe died an envious unfulfilled man and legend has it that envy for Wole Soyinka contributed to his death.

Why I love God is that he always make Yoruba triumph, we have bested the Ibos in all strata of achievement if we go head to head.

Below is Prof. Wole Soyinka telling the world how embarrassed he was on the kind of envy and hatred Achebe showed when he won the Nobel Laureate.

Soyinka is more of just a novel writer, he is an icon. A million Achebe can not measure up to him.

U guyz are are too tribalistic and sentiment....

Useless set of people

Wole Soyinka KEPT MUTE in ALL these grave Issues ravaging Nigeria,

Only to wake up and Focus his energy on Datti/LP/.

shut up

Ojukwu brought the death of 3million igbos and ran away cos he had no plan

Sokinya was in biafra risking his life to get solution for the run away ikemba

Today ojuku is now hero despite contesting for Nigeria president which he fought against it's state

the people wey don die for cultism in Nigeria reach 10 million

MikeofAfrica:


It is good to be jack of all trades , however it is better to be a master in one of them.

Wole Soyinka is jack of all trades in Literature. He wrote prose, drama and poetry. However none of his works can compete with the master class , THINGS FALL APART.

That is why Chinua Achebe is regarded as the father of African literature.

He is the PIONEER CHAIRMAN OF African Writers series.

babtoundey:



What's the master class about "Things fall apart"? It was a master class and could not earn him Nobel prize till his death.
WS doesn't write for idiots. He wrote for people who are intellectually healthy. Any idiot can read and appreciate "Things fall apart". For you to read WS, you must be with your thinking cap.

Once again, Achebe is not a complete writer. He is just a fantastic novelist (storyteller) and nothing more. Soyinka is a writer in and out. So, comparing both men is stupid

no be lie

As a kid we read things fall apart for waec because Nigeria government really helped Achebe career by making it mandatory

But you can't read soyinka books even for some adult it still got too draining intellectually then

MikeofAfrica:


Things Fall Apart has been translated into over 50 languages and studied as a course in Western Universities.

Please can you tell me any of Wole Soyinka's book that has been translated into at least 10 languages ?

Market success isn't the same as artistic value and success. Achebe understood the market and he was able to exploit it. If that is the yardstick for awarding Nobel prize, Achebe would have it. But the yardstick is far deeper and reasonable than that. Everything Soyinka wrote beat everything Achebe ever wrote. If you are intellectually handicapped, you can't enjoy reading Soyinka. So, the foolish and the shallow ones will always make a choice of Achebe books. But the obvious fact is, Achebe in his career didn't achieve a bit of what Soyinka achieves. Soyinka can be Achebe and still be a giant that he is. Achebe could not be Soyinka without suffocating. He had just one poem to his credit and he flopped at it.

Soyinka is a dramatist, a poet, a theorist, a novelist, a theorist, a critic and an activist. And he excelled in all

Achebe is just brilliant novelist and nothing more.

Things Fall Apart is a required reading in all countries around the world to pass their gcse or get their high school diploma. Even in the US and the UK. But Soyinka is only known for the Nobel prize and nothing else.

It has never been a contest who is the better writer among the two. China Achebe lived and died a legend, his tale has been sung by people the world over. Each yearly commemoration of his death is celebrated the world over. No one recognizes Soyinka anymore. The man has become a relic. Although I respect him. Being a man of the word myself. Still, a man has high ranking as he is should know well to hold his tongue. Else he'd be prime example of the saying, "even buffoons grow old"

JBoss25:
the people wey don die for cultism in Nigeria reach 10 million

do you know what is even a million

The whole south east voters even reach 10million

Cultists fights only take few scapegoats then they go underground and get settled again

How many have died in ipob esn wahala that is replicating ojukwu group

Wole soyinka is not worthy to tie the shoe laces of Chinua Achebe

Who among the Igbo can produce a genius like soyinka.chinua Achebe was a local professor during his time and he was not recognized due to his below average performance in Literature.he died a sad man because his works were considered poor by the international communities

Vinnie2000:


See your Ignorance in Full Display.

Chinua Achebe's THINGS FALL APART is Translated and read in 60 Nations across the World.
Even Germans still Read the Book till Today. 🙂

His novel, Chike and the River, was read in Kenya, Uganda and many East African countries for Many years,
as their Basic School Supplementary book.

He is BIGGER than Soyinka, Plz.

truth be told Chinua book still lives on
I’m not a lover of literature but I’ve read most of his books
Wole is also a great man though I’ve not read any of his books

The guy on twitter nailed it. We know his type, they always pretend to be coming from a neutral perspective but it's all about affiliations and agenda

"You never liked him, you've always rated Achebe over him due to Ethinic affiliations, the recent event only embolden you to speak up openly now."

Who is Charley Boy?

Please can someone educate me on his profile

LegendHero:
People should see the hypocrisy of the Ibo people.

They will lie that they are supporting Obi not because of tribe but yet anytime a Yoruba man speak against their candidate, they start accusing the person of tribalism and etc.

Why did Charley boy compare Soyinka to Achebe if not for tribalism? The hateful Chimamanda also mentioned he supported Obi because he is Ibo but if a Yoruba man says that we won’t hear word online again.

In all this, I’ve not seen the useless Falz and Marcaroni come out to condemn this assault on our living legend, but the useless guys will be online to cry about tribalism when a Yoruba celeb give it to these guys hot.

Did Igbo not support obasanjo and Abiola,where is the fairness

Obi's die-hard fans have been beclouded by the 'illusion of grandeur' of Peter Obi to the extent that anybody whose words or ideas do not go in support of Peter Obi is always being attacked. I think they need psychiatric examination as urgently as possible before May 29th so that number of mad people will not become countless after Tinubu's inauguration as the President and Commander-in-chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Jagaban is coming........💪💪💪💪💪

Your stainless father that you disowned. Area fada and confusion are like 5 & 6.

Charley Boy will always be a boy. It’s very disappointing that people like him would descend so low.

What has Chinua Achebe got to do with this?
I’m really disappointed.

Truth be told, Wole Soyinka's nobel prize is a crowning glory that can never ever be erased.

jaxxy:
People and majorly aoc will turn this into a tribal thing rather a thing rather than face the objective truth.

I wish igbos can leave wole soyinka to his opinions as much as I know he deserves the criticism for his current statement on the elections which alot have been unclear and misconstrued.

Boss, We will NOT Leave any Baga Alone.

People like Soyinka and Several Others who Criticized, Blasted and Demonized PDP/Jonathan's Govt
Through the media are now MUTE or Secretly supporting the Evil/Failure APC Party.

Once True Nigerians Remind them off their DoubleTongues/Hypocrisy, we are Tagged Igbos/IPOB. 😒

Is this Fair?

did soyinka win the "bookerman prize"..?..

both Achebe and chimamanda won it

Anybody can be a justice infact presently we have hundreds of justice in Nigeria but how many noble laureate winners do we have? Prof is recognized worldwide but i dont think your justice oputa was....

Of course. I lost respect for the old fool the moment I discerned that he was just another rodent in Tinubu's cookie room. The idiot whose voice of condemnation was very loud against the Jonathan administration somehow retreated into his shell and became deaf and dumb throughout Buhari's disastrous 8 years of sorrow.

Now after a sham election has supposedly produced a bloody thief and drug baron as president, the useless Soyinka has found his voice again, not in condemnation of the election or of the disreputable criminal that was dubiously pronounced winner, but against the people yearning for a change. Obedients are repugnant fascists and he is ready to do a debate with Datti, but he conveniently has nothing to say about INEC, Tinubu, and the APC. This is the final straw.

Soyinka's work was university level stuff and scholarly.

Achiebe's stuff could be likened to simple addition and subtraction while Soyinka's stuff were Advanced Calculus.

Wole sonyinka is a Occultist who have sucked blood in the days of his youth
I thought he had sense but na only English he Sabi

No wonder the young guy on the plane refused to give up his seat for the fool.
