Power of the pen pierces through just writing stories.

Soyinka's every line is loaded. Sage for a reason.

GrammarNazi1:

Kongi's Harvest is among.

The Dance of the Forests is another one.

The Trials of Brother Jero is another one.

Jero's Metamorphosis is another.

And Wole Soyinka is perhaps the most prolific Nigerian writer too.

afrodoc2:
Achebe was mainly a novelist. Soyinka is mainly a playwright. Each GOATED in his main field. No need to derail this place cos i have seen this movie before.

"Project NIGERIA, I must confess, has become near terminally soul-searing. Do I still believe in it? I am no longer certain but - first we must rid ourselves of the tyranny of the ignorant and the opportunism of time-servers. In any case, there is not much else to engage one on a foundation of ownership stakes."


......almost assume it was nihilistjnr that penned these lines.

He's only greatest in fra but in writing chinua whoop his ass.

Omo eeh, that election was a shamble on its own..

That election comfirms the fact that Nigeria is a walking carcass...

People had high hopes but their hopes were quashed..

Omo, forget.. inec no try for that election at all

GrammarNazi1:

Chinua Achebe should present his Nobel Laureate award in Literature, bro.

DissTroy:
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.

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?

Like this in this rich Aso Oke

Unlimited22:

Lol
Read Beware Soul Brother and Christmas in Biafra, then come and repeat what you said about Achebe and Poetry.


Achebe is our greatest novelist. Soyinka is our greatest playwright.

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.

Unlimited22:
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.

It reaches to ask o. What is the most prestigious award in literature again?

Nostradamus1:
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.

GrammarNazi1:
Why then was he not good enough to have won the greatest award in Literature?

A day to election Obi was on the phone with Oyedepo crying in that rat voice that Kogi Kwara and SW people are not supporting him in huge numbers

Yet today he is crying that he was rigged
