starlingslimnet: Lol I must admit to be oblivious of whatever you must have meant by future tense. And that being the case, refrain from referring yourself as a writer until you can speak in present tense. On Wole Soyinka's Interpreters. "He meant to state that the clangs of metal on concrete was having a severe effect on his already drunk head." Now that's overly esoteric, of which Our WS is renowned for unlike Achebe who has rather oversimplified his use of language. |

starlingslimnet: OK good to hear and I wish you a successful publishing. Now do two things for me here; 1. Post a page from your writings here. Let me have a look. Just a page; any page. 2. What was Soyinka saying in that first sentence of the Interpreters? [& pls that's a complete sentence, not a clause as it might have seemed to you] Here it is again; "Metal on concrete jars my drink lobes." |

starlingslimnet: Lol! Interpreter is Wole Soyinka's only novel. And the first sentence in it goes thus; 'Metal on concrete jars my drink lobes.' Lol I am sure you can't even explain that with the help of a dictionary. Now that's what you call difficult writing language, not Achebe's over simplified English. Pls don't refer to yourself as a writer. You're not even a book lover to start with. If ever you aspire to be a writer someday, start by being a book lover, an avid reader, that's the only way to becoming a writer. And FYI on Achebe, he's the simplest user of language. He writes English like its spoken by Nigerians. And no other nigerian world class writer writes that simple, not even Okri or Chimamanda. Have a good day ahead. |

What some don't understand is that pdp is playing chess on top of apc head. The choice of ékweremmadu was not by chance but purposedly selected by pdp to put apc in a very tight corner. And that tight corner is south east. Pdp know as we all do that south east people do not trust apc & apc needs to have a hold in the south east to be able to refer to itself as a national party rather than being a regional party, and going after ékweremmadu even though his dsp position has no known profit whatsoever for the SE people, yet an attempt to remove ékweremmadu would be seen as anti igbo and that would further alienate apc from south east thereby giving pdp an unchallenged political control in the south east and denying apc a national presence. So take it or leave it, apc needs ékweremmadu in that chair more than pdp does. So however you slice the bread, pdp is on a win win position. And the best apc can do, to its own benefit, is to swallow this particular defeat in order not to be dished more. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Kitsune: Don't allow frustration take away your sanity. You're not alone on the hardship train but allowing it to affect you mentally will leave you in lonesome corner of a mental institution. Think of something positive to do with your life. Start with smiles to people & little little shows of love. Life is really short, don't spend yours in hateful sadness. 4 Likes |

It would be much more easier to remove saraki than Ekweremadu. As the removal of Ekweremadu would further alienate apc from the hearts of SE people. Not that they have anything to gain from him being the senate DSP but now that he is there apc is at lost if he is removed |
