bros rest...so many legendary actors like Tom cruise and co haven't won the Oscars award, but would u compare most new generation actors that have won it to him?...guy let's just be frank with ourselves, when it comes to writing, soyinka can never come close to adichie...no be everything be politics na.

Even Chimanda won't utter that nonsense. We are taking about Nobel prize and you are talking about Oscars

The Nobel is the gold standard. Highest and most desirable award for academicians and super geniuses.
The leagues of Einstein, Marrie Curie, Niels Bohr e.t.c.

Odogwuzack:


Mention those impacts.

lol.
see question.
You must be an alien.

tinsel:

Out of point. Let us leave politics alone. Are you actually in your true sense trying to compare Soyinka and her?

Soyinka is old school with relatively little relevance...

Chimamanda is among the most influential literary figures in the world...

Soyinka can only blow grammar and work for the appointment of his children in APC governments...

His time has gone for a long time...

His prestige has hit an all time low...

Pimine:

Haters like you nor even know say Yale get rep pass your Harvard.

You must be smoking. Yale is not even top 5. Yale is 9th. Oxford is 1st. Harvard is 2nd.

And yes, she has a honorary doctorate from HARVARD!

No, she doesn't.

The Nobel is not the gold standard, atleast not in literature. There are other comparable awards.

Its also very political. Some of the brightest people did not win it.
While some mediocres won it too based on political interests.

BeanX:
You don't fight for good governance by insulting, provoking and fighting people that have contrary opinions. this is nothing but online banditry. you guys should act in a civilized manner and fight for good governance.

Same way you acted in a civilized way by killing and attacking the non Yorubas who were tryin to exercise their civic right. You folks are the biggest hypocrites and defenders of evil in the world.

The political interest (Peace Prize) category is different from the Literature, Economics, Medicine, Physics and Chemistry that are reserved for super geniuses academicians.

Don't get it mixed up.

I just cannot understand the audacity.

These people and chest beating ehn!


Dem sabi who Soyinka be?

Soyinka who help up a radio station at gunpoint?

Soyinka who was in solitary confinement for 2 years?

All at the risk of death for what he believed in

Who is Adichie next to him?

bro it's based on the fields na...the Nobel prize was designed for those that confered the greatest benefits to man in physics, chemistry, literature , medicine and peace...dude the Oscars is the greatest award an actor or actress can ever have...is like puskas for footballers ...so what's now your point bro.

The Nobel prize for literature is not the same as Nobel for science and economics.

Science is objective. Whoever finds the cure for cancer will get a nobel prize.
It's fixed in stone, regardless of country or political ideology.

Literature on the other hand is highly subjective.

The fact that two greatest authors in africa , Chinua Achebe and Ngugi Wa'thiongo did not win it says a lot.

Those two were very anti-colonial in their literature, and the Nobel made them pay.

BluntTheApostle:



Who dash her honorary doctorate from Harvard?



It is Haverford College that gave her honorary doctorate, not Harvard.

How many even the local university for ya village give ya papa?

Even Tom Cruise you talked about won Oscars.
You do not need to be a genius to win an Oscar. Some people are natural actors and with a stroke of luck.

Remove the Nobel peace prize and no way in hell will you win a nobel prize in other categories without being a super genius.

flokii:
She has all that yet can't speak up against the crude woman hating culture of her Igbo people where women are subjected to the kitchen and bedroom only to pleasure the men.

She can't condemn the Monday sit at home that Igbos imposed on her people because she is a bigot with no human feeling or emphaty whatsoever. To hell with her and her gutter honorary awards.

were you asked to Sit at home in OYO or what ? so you expect her in her busy schedules to go about making comments on everything, JOBLESSLY like you ?

Wait o , so you think sitting all day at home , writing comments about everything and crying more than the victim is how people win awards ?
How old do you think that Chimamanda is , with all those awards ?
you are not getting any younger , egboo mi.

ChineduAPC:

Munmun ,honourary PhD, wey MC oluomo dey get. She is neither a Phd holder, a professor or a researcher. She has no single scholarly article, everything na tales by moonlight. She will need to commit half of her life to rigorous academic work before achieving one foot of Wole Soyinka.Na one young medical doctor finished are two days ago with a lovely article, and not a technically poor, bigot letter to Biden.

Write your letter to Biden and get a reply, jealous Yoruba Muslims🤪😆😜🤣😂😅

BombAttack:


She is our daughter. Don't mind those jealous Yoruba Muslims [color=#000099][/color]🤣😂😅😂🤣

Are we all mxd must will always speak about culture, religion or tribe. why this daily quote "they oppose us because we are not part of their region" " We are supporting him/her because is the our own very son of this soil"

must we relate, analysis, or interpret other people's opinion on the ground of region or race.

Adesanya won this week, he displayed Nigeria flag not as yoruba, S. Chukwueze scored the equaliser goal in first half and winning goal against Madrid the commentator The commentator named all the Nigerian football legends he could remember to acknowledge exceptional impact of him as a Nigerian not as any tribe.

We have a different aims
while Our leaders aim are the same to rule us by rotational policy from father to son. Governor to Minister ot President, Commissioner to Governor. 23 years in power etc.
Have any Nigerian arrested in diaspora regarded as a specific tribe rather, 'Nigerian caught with this or that'

tinsel:

How old are you?
Soyinka has over 40 and stopped receiving since 2018. The highest award for any profession in the world is Noble prize. There is no basis for comparison between the two. The other is too small here her senior is. But , again she is a genius. I must admit this.

Even Obama received a Nobel Prize and went ahead and destroyed Libya like his Nobel Prize counterpart Soyinka is trying to destroy Nigeria further by supporting a convicted drug dealer

guy u are right ...lol, apart from.literture the other one has been of great help in shaping the world, the likes of Newton, eistein Nel Bohr.... physicist whose work are the foundation of science and even technology of today...guy u are very right sha.

Joseph Conrad the chinua achebe of Europe said in his book[b] heart of darkness that africans were half animal, half child[/b]
He called us beasts with no rationality.

Joseph Conrad was the most respected author in Europe at that time.

Chinua Achebe took him on and eviscerated him with literature.

If now expect the Nobel, a group of white european old men in suits during that era of racism to honour that insolence with a prize would be naive.

BastadThiefnubu:
His Nobel prize is useless.

you don't need to support him

His Nobel prize is still legit

BastadThiefnubu:
Nobel prize won after licking the ass of the Europeans and betraying his black brothers?

Empty noise as usual from someone who does not know what it means to be a Nobel
Laureate.

Chinua Achebe 'things fall apart' is the most read and most translated african book of all time.
It has been read and studied in most countries on earth.

That is a legacy that cements his status as the G.O.A.T

Who cares about honorary degrees?. Will she take those to her creator. Worthless things. She should learn to speak the truth always and be kind to humanity. Those are more dignifying in the face of God than.the number of honorary degrees.

8 more years for your wailing.
Jagaban till 2031.

In just 7years?


The same period APC government destroyed Nigeria And Soyinka's fame started dipping

It's not a competition between them though.

ORIAYO70:



Hmm.
What can we say

Do you reside in America. The problem America is facing is too much for an American president to be reading one useless letter. America will.first go and look for one her citizen stranded in another country than to have time for Nigeria issues

MatrixCircle:

Don't mind them. Letter wey Biden don laminate after reading as important document. Because Biden go done check her profile.

The letter done da classified, if e miss biden go enter problem

Dunce, I am a christian.We Yorubas and also the northerners dissociate ourselves from this sored losers who are craving for power for selfish reasons, without any reasonable antecedent other than bigotry that they must rule.
