Comparing Achebe and soyinka is like Day and night
Soyinka is a shameless cultists grand father in Nigeria
He joined enemies of the people to protest against a government with little fear of God and keep mute when d*mons enter Power
He fully joined the APC government and start fighting oppositions
Achebe rejected OBJ National Award twice citing bad governance
Achebe

The defeat of jonathan in 2015 still dey pepper you?
Ibos ruined Jonathan government.

Aside that, Achebe was a bitter, crippled man who spent all his miserable years on wheel chair envying Great Soyinka.

You're being deluded. You're gloating about Nobel laureate that has heavily been subjected to criticism because of how it's been given to people who don't merit it. In terms of Award, I can't count numbers of Awards that Chinua Achebe rejected in his life time, so stop gloating. Soyinka can never lace the shoes of great Achebe.

List the awards that he rejected.

He even collected other smaller white man awards ooh cheesy

And that defeat is the reason why
1: Hunger is finishing you
Igbos are actually last to die of hunger when it starts, because we can do whatever to survive
That's known fact unless you want to argue with yourself
2:why the Buhari you voted out of hatred and envy for Igbo people made Oyo, Ekiti Ondo forests headquarters of Fulani terrorists

I wished my state, Anambra, was well planned. It would have rivalled any city in Africa in terms of high rise buildings. This Ogidi was a remote village in the 80s. But the rise of prosperous Onitsha as a home of business and enterprise in Anambra has grown uncontrollable that it has swallowed neighbouring towns like Oba, Nkpor, Obosi, Nkwelle and Ogidi. Even Asaba in Delta has benefited from the spill over from Onitsha. Anambra seems to be the most urbanised in Nigeria. Government should do well to provide good inner roads and create more access road. The people would take care of other infrastructural development.

The reason for the high rise building in Anambra is due to lack of space.

Oyo state alone is bigger in land mass compared to 5 ibo states

Ibos don't deserve more than 2 states because they add nothing to
GDP

U are obviously not a Yoruba person because your IQ is far below such.
U should be intelligent enough to know that the brown roofs depict the ancientness of the region. The Yorubas are developed colony far before colonization. The dynasty system was well established for decades before the whites brought civilization. U can compare it with newly evolving mainly post colonization settlements. When civilization came ,many of those settlers were walking around nicked without houses and that is why many believe they evolved from 🦍. They were chasing them around to show them how human being should be. Those roofs are pattern of the ancient days
The new areas developing that are contemporary of the own u are showing are clearly different from the ones u display to water the region down.

Many states has their mini park in this big market. Lorries leave this market on daily basis to different parts of South East and middle belt and South south states supplying building materials to smaller markets in those states. Forget politics and Nigeria's negative view of the south Easterners. These guys are pulling weight.

Growing up my parents provided books by both authors to me for my English Literature classes. Wole Soyinka’s books were a borefest. I never enjoyed reading them. I only read them because I had to, so as not to fail class tests and all.
Chinua Acehebe’s on the other hand were books that spoke to me in a way that Soyinka’ works did not. I was happy to read them over and over again even during holidays.

Wole Soyinka is on the same level with Shakespeare
Have you read any of Shakespeare's books?

Crippled Achebe was an ordinary novelist, he tried his hand on drama, prose and he failed woefully.

Soyinka is a novelist, dramatist and poet. He is a complete writer.

Crippled Achebe spent his years envying Soyinka, that is why he lived and died miserably on wheel chairs.
Envy and bitterness against Wole Soyinka killed crippled Achebe.

Ibos are too full of inferiority complex. Yoruba no be their mates

The same ibos will rate Obi who can barely speak good English above Jagaban.
Continue to wallow in delusion.

Soyinka is known worldwide while achebe is known among his illiterate and delusional blodas.

Bitterness and envy against Wole Soyinka rendered Crippled Achebe useless on wheel chair.
