Achebe had the uncanny ability to paint the most vivid of pictures with words, just words. But he was more than that: reading an Achebe novel is like being in a 7D theatre - you feel it and live it in real-time. There's a reason the greatest writers out there worship Achebe and why there are a billion notable quotes and references from his books about any life issue. Wole Soyinka is more into sophistry - preferring flowery words even when such break the narrative flow. When it comes to literature - prose, drama, and poetry, Achebe's penmanship hasn't been surpassed by any Nigerian dead or alive. 5 Likes |

DissTroy:How about Achebe's poetry and drama, no where to be found? Wole Soyinka is a far better playwright and poet than Achebe ever was. How about that? There are 3 genres of literature. While Achebe might be a better novelist, Wole Soyinka (WS) is a better playwright and poet. Wole Soyinka's plays and poems have everlasting themes and they are far more captivating than Achebe's plays and poems, if Achebe ever wrote plays. Also, some of Wole Soyinka's plays are rooted in his philosophy of Yoruba/African theory of literature titled The Fourth Stage, which revolves around four stages of existence: the World of the Unborn, the World of the Living, the World of the Dead, and the Chthonic Realm (the Home of the Tragic Spirits). It is how Wole Soyinka uses this theory to rationalize some of his plays that you should find out first. It's actually deep. You find out first because it is not pedestrian. No Nigerian writer's work is as philosophical and deep as Wole Soyinka"s plays and poems. For example, Wole Soyinka uses his play Jero's Metamorphosis to illustrate his theory The Fourth Stage. Why do you think Wole Soyinka won the Nobel Laureate but Achebe didn't? No debate. How can Achebe be renowned for only a few novels and Wole Soyinka be renowned for a lot more drama texts and poems and you still regard a master of one over a master of two? How? 12 Likes 2 Shares

Femi Osofisan is another magnificent playwright. From Women of Owu to Morountodun to Yungba Yungba and the Dance Contest to Who's Afraid of Solarin. Solid work all round. |

For Poetry, neither of them come tops. No be their playground Read people like J. P. Clark, the Okigbo brothers, Otswald Mtshali and Okot p'Bitek and you go see who poetry dey their blood. |

Soyinka is one of the greatest African writer and arguably the best Nigerian writer. Achebe writes with primarily African for African. When you read "There was a Country" , you understand the way Achebe approaches writing. I liken Achebe to Ngugi wa' Thiongo and Femi Osofisan. Soyinka's Jero plays critiques the public Executions at the beach and pastors The Man died was about his experiences as a Nigerian prisoner for 2 years on the suspicion that he was a Biafran spy. His books tends to critique situations and are commonly satire 1 Like |

GrammarNazi1: Malaila won the Nobel Laureate for simply not dying at the hands of the Taliban. She won for staying alive. We should all get a Nobel Prize each for surviving Boko Haram. Obama won the Nobel despite decimating the Middle East which even he confessed to. DiCaprio didn't win the Oscars until recently in his mid-forties. He almost had to die in ice and parrot some climate change talking point to be deemed worthy despite headlining several classics as the lead actor even in his twenties. Imagine not winning the Oscar for Titanic 26 years ago. I could go on and on. Some of these award categories are judged subjectively (which isn't me stating Soyinka is any less deserving). No Nigerian penperson dead or alive matches Achebe. 3 Likes |
