They were asked to perform an offering

They were perplexed: What is he talking about?

Can we afford to pay for any offering?

The disabled suggested suicide as an option

Days latter the disabled repeated the suggestion to the blind person

The blind responded: you know I cannot see, so whatever you suggest is okay

We have been friends for too long and I could not live without you

The disabled responded: I know a place we can go to kill ourselves

The disabled person added: when we get to the water, I will just jump into it

The blind person questioned: how would I know?

The disabled said: I will bring you close to the edge so when you hear the loud sound of falling, you know it is time to jump

Its an insult to the psyche of the people of the world to compare great Achebe a world renowned author and also the most influential icon in the whole of Africa to a mere mechanic who joined several iron sheets to form a huge metal works he called stove autonov.

On the second day they decided to end it all

The disabled led the blind to the water

As they neared the edge the disabled lamented and threw a huge stone into the water

The disabled hoped he tricked the blind person to jump

But the blind person was so worried and upset that threw his walking stick around and hit the disabled person

The disabled person shrieked!

The blind person was so surprised

He asked the disabled why he wanted to trick him to die

The disabled apologized and the blind person could not be too upset

Did he not need the disabled to bring him home?

As they continued along in the bush they came across some food

Cooking the meat seemed to take too long. but

Achebe has remained the best Africa can boast of, even that one soyenka is not anywhere near Achebe's profile and influence. Recent the forbes confirmed Achebe as the most influential icon in Africa. For that sake there is non living or dead (including Ayodele), Soyenka and all who has been able to reach that feat. The comparison does not make any meaningful sense.

The blind realized that each time the disabled spoke it sounded as if he was eating

Since the blind person kept asking the disabled person for food, the disabled gave the blind a toad to eat instead

The blind could not see so he put the toad’s head in his mouth

As he bit the toad the water from the toad’s eyeball broke and splashed into the blind’s eye

He regained sight!

As he regained sight the blind took over the cooking and gave the toad to the disabled person to eat

He then went to the waterside to drink

But he told the disabled person that if the disabled person was still present when he returned, the disabled person had only three options:

To be pushed into the water

To be beaten

@poster, u disappointed me. While not Soyinka and Achebe. Both are alive. They are highly respected. both are professors of letters. Both have international exposure though at varing levels. This your topic dey sick.

To be taken into the forest and abandoned

The disabled person chose to be beaten

The previously blind person went to beat the disabled on his head

The disabled suggested being beaten on the buttocks, knowing that from the waist down was paralyzed so he would not feel any pain

As the previously blind started to beat his buttocks with a walking stick

The disabled stood up and started running!

But the two of them were so carried away they could not see what was happening to both of them

As the disabled was running and the blind chasing

They ran into a prophet

The disabled screamed for help

Help me Baba!

The prophet asked them what the problem was between them

Self respect and respect for others

Someone posts a topic here and scores of us have the effontery to rain all kinds of insults on the poster's intelligence. Regardless of how baseless the comparison might seem to you, you or nobody has it in any place to abuse the poster. Manners and courtesy dictate that you voice your opinions against in a civilised manner. If indeed the post appears senseless to you, be like some few, pass over!

The poster was clear from the start. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism to which someone kindly and objectively replied going as far as attempting the comparisons in a tabular form!

Rather than take on the research and the opportunity to develop your intellect (particularly for the rather challenged ones amongst us) by comparing these two people in different fields, most of us have opted for the easy way out.Flight! In case you don't know it is challenges like this that differentiate the wise from the otherwise.

Finally, some of us now know who Prof Ayodele Awojobi is thanks to this thread.

So why aren't you calling the OP out for opening this thread which is extremely disrespectful to the dead Professor (who had proven himself a good Nigerian)? Where's the 'respect for others' when this topic was raised in bad faith and is of extremely poor taste?

Sorry, zero tolerance to dolts must be the watchword. Also, everyone reserves the right to pop in and let the senseless posters know how brainless they are. How else are they to learn?

So you're saying if someone walks up to you and asks you to compare your wife and a harlot and specifies that he wants 'constructive criticism' you will draw up an A4 sheet and start tabulating differences?
Do you make it a point of duty to respond to challenges from all the mad people you see on the streets?

If you really now know who Prof Awojobi is, basic human decency would have had you outraged at the insensitive 'comparison' this fellow is trying to make.

They explained everything that happened up until that moment

Then the prophet asked the disabled: Ever since you have been disabled

Have you ever thought of asking your Blind friend or family to beat you with a walking stick before?

He answered: No!

The prophet also asked the blind person: If you had known that it was the water from toad’s eyeball that would heal you

Wouldn’t you have asked your disabled friend or family for it?

mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

aribisala0, abeg keep your story coming. i dey enjoy am

The prophet also asked the blind person: If you had known that it was the water from toad’s eyeball that would heal you

Wouldn’t you have asked your disabled friend or family for it?

He also answered: Yes!

Then the prophet told both of them to embrace each other

They should forever be friends and never let anyone come in between them. Ever!

They were happy and started remembering their journey together

The prophet then said to them that a little bit about Olodumare had been revealed to them

Orunmila! Witness of fate Second to Oludumare
Thou are far more efficacious than medicine, Thou are the Immense Orbit that averts the day of Death. My Lord, Almighty that saved mysterious Spirit that fought death. To Thee salutation is first due in the morning. Thou are the Equilibrium that adjusts World Forces. Thou art the One whose exertion it is to reconstruct the creature of bad lot. Repairer of bad-luck, He who knows thee becomes immortal Lord, the undisputable king, Perfect in the House of Wisdom! My Lord! Infinite in knowledge! For not knowing thee in full, we are futile, Oh, if we could but know thee in full, all would be well with us. Ase o

There's no grain of intelligence behind dis kind of topic, it all smacks of a senseless idea to compare 2 diff pple of diff fields. Tink b4 u type or write, twud hep u mak more sense in d future!
