No doubt, these men are Africa finests, But very difficult for me to choice the best; Wole, Achebe and Cyprian is just too difficult to pick the best from, these men are just too good, Wole being Nobel lorete for his outstanding works not easy, you must be the best in the world for you to get it; Achebe too should have gotten Nobel lorette in his outstanding novel " things fall apart" translated more than 60 languages not easy for ordinary man to achieve that, any student in the world that want to study Africa history and language must read the novel "things fall apart" l always rank him and wole the Same. When l read "the concubine" l have much respect for Cyprian, he was a good writer, when I was reading it, it was as if I was watching a TV, cudos to him. So op, hard for me to choice. 1 Like 1 Share |

I don't think there is anything like the best...it depends on how you connect to the writer or his works. Things Fall Apart is a masterpiece. 2 Likes |

Cyprian Ekwensi, style of writing is like FPV. I don't think there is best, but Ekwensi is better in everything. |

Cyprian Ekwensi. Master story teller. Wole Soyinka. Literary genius. Chinua Achebe. Master story teller. Ngugi wa Thiongo. Chimamanda Adichie. |
