Honour the challenge.

Soyinka vs Achebe. A good comparison thread for it.

You think it's by writing to sweet talk to the colonialist? Or by betraying the agreement to sabotage mere award from the oppressors and taking the award?

Nah!. Literature is heart. You write blunt, you maintain integrity!!

Chinua Achebe is infact the definition of BLUNT. His thoughts and expressions in writing are indeed BLUNT.

When you read the words of truth below in his book, 'THERE WAS A COUNTRY', emphasis on the red highlight.

He wrote,



“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.[color=#990000][/color]”

That is how BLUNT Achebe was.

ONE IS A NOBEL LAUREATE

ONE IS AN ORDINARY STORY TELLER!....


Chinua Achebe will explain tire....

Wole saying needs no explanation

Nobel laureate by what yardstick? Just a useless award. It's like saying those awarded governor of the year in Nigeria are actually the best because of the award

😆....chinua Achebe died wishing he had one.

You his kinsmen will explain tire how he merited it or how the award is inconsequential 😆

ImmaculateJOE:

Please, help us with Soyinka's residence and home town

Soyinka's house in forest Ogun state

FourQu:
Can we also see soyinka's House?

I'd love to see how his home and its surrounding neighbourhood looks like

Can any RoNu oblige me?

NOTE: I remember he cried out about fulani herdsmen attacking his farm and stuff at his backyard that year . . . So it's perfectly okay to show us the forests and bushes around his home too. It won't surprise us one bit

Soyinka's house in Ogun

Achebe wey just de reject awards anyhow?
In terms on number of books
Copies sold
Languages translated
Or any other empirical data, Soyinka no near Achebe
Award is what it is, just an ward nothing more

Really ? 😆 you are very Ignorant!

Mention one drama or play written by ACHEBE

Mention one of his plays acted by him?...or a song written by him?

Achebe is not a literature person he is just a bestseller writer!


Soyinka writes poems,plays,dramas,prose,acted,direct plays ..he excelled in all fields...he is a literature personified like Shakespeare


Na ACHEBE and CHINAMANDA ADICHIE day the same categories..bestsellers!

By the way,which award did ACHEBE reject apart from CON or whatever of Nigeria. He received many prizes but died wishing he won a nobel prize,but he is not prolific enough to win it,he was just a bestseller.


Meanwhile ....don't forget your assignment:MENTION ONE DRAMA OR PLAY WRITTEN BY ACHEBE!

I don't even understand your point, Achebe is far more prolific than Soyinka.
Things fall apart alone swallow all Soyinka works and it was acted long before anybody know Soyinka. He didn't write play and drama so he is not a literature person? You go school at all

😆...you don't even know the meaning of being prolific....You mean that mid level JSS3 novel

There are 3 genre of English literature PROSE,DRAMA and POETRY.

Again!...MENTION ONE PLAY OR DRAMA WRITTEN BY CHINUA ACHEBE ,AT LEAST THAT WILL SHOW HOW PROLIFIC HE WAS.
.MENTION ONE PLAY OR DRAMA ACTED BY HIM

I'm disappointed in you. You should've matured more than this. You see someone that ignorant, and you pitch a tent with him, wallowing together. Have you seen anyone with brain ever talk down on NP—the most coveted and prestigious award in the world, historically?


Don't you know what a noble prize is? You think it's because of his hair that Soyinka is revered worldwide? No! It's because of something you associate only with people the calibre of Einstein/mother Theresa/Luther King, and so on. Something so great it's the ambition of anyone who ever attend a school. It's only people who's contributed to humanity who ever own it, money don't buy it. Intelligence don't but it; only the gifted, genius get it. Something even the white men struggle all their lives chasing yet never get. Something that contribute to humanity in a reputable way, not all of us can do it. It's so great only 7 people have done it Africa, despite the >3000 tribes we have. It is wrong to expect an Igbo man or just anyone to have it for the sake, because it's for only geniuses, who're very scarce around. It finds you, you don't really find it

You wouldn't pass through a field and escape these people in their respective fields unless you never attend a school all your life.

But here's Xerxers, someone who wasn't even blessed with brain sound enough to recognize substance. Existence doesn't mean anymore to him than wake, eat, sleep, procreate, and look for who to hate among other tribes—mundane and trivial things rock his world. And you decide to argue this with him? Why?

Pls Nobel prize for literature is not a useless award. Calling it a useless award is an insult to all creative writers worldwide. I'm not here to join the useless banters going on here, but pls kindly note that it is the dream of every writer all over the world to be a Nobel prize winner. It is like the ballon d'or for footballers, Oscars for actors or Grammy for musicians.

What’s the essence of this thread? To explore Ogidi and Achebe’s house or to start unnecessary comparison with Soyinka?

This is very childish and embarrassing mister. You are bigger than this nwanne. You are not a child, if you are then apologies but you need to grow up.

If Chinua Achebe got a Nobel prize before he died that guy wouldn't have said what he said. it's just his ignorance and foolishness. Nobel prize is the highest award in literature, just the same Grammy is the highest award for musicians.

When I was small anytime I head to my village in ogbu abatete during christmas, my mum would hold my head and point to me this very house that's chinua achebes house...because she notice I was always reading chike and the river, almost all the time....its located on the road to ekeagu abatete
