Exactly. Art is subjective.



This is exactly what feminists say when one argues the logic of their hard stances with them - go read up.

Here is the criteria for the Nobel Prize for Peace: https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/literature/ .

It clear states that once nominated the Swedish Academy decides which nominations they would pick but reserve the right never to reveal why the nominees got shortlisted or not. It even has a law that further details about the nominations cannot be revealed for 50 years.

There is no specific stated criteria for being a Nobel Prize winner in Literature. No benchmark and the academy refuses to make it public.

This is what you slate Achebe for? Some of us get into the fine details. You can't bamboozle everyone.

A001:

Many factors like?

raumdeuter:

In Africa generally we have
1. Rapidly increasing population without the resources to feed them

2. Desertification where many land that used to be farming are no longer productive so many farmers have to leave their land to farm

3. Many who are livestock owners due to this same factors have to travel farther into other space to survive with their cattle

4. Instability due to religious extremism ideology and ethnic affiliation which is prevalent all over the world right now

These are some of the factors that no person can fix

The leadership of VISA, a frontline digital payment platform, led by the Regional President, Central Europe, Middle East and Africa, Mr. Andrew Torre paid a courtesy visit on Nigeria’s Vice President-Elect, Sen. Kashim Shettima in Abuja.

............... Mobidients, lets start destroying our VISA ATM cards and quit patronising them.

DeadPresidents:


I’m leading the charge on this.
The Yeye thing can’t even run payments online anymore since the yeye party took over

A001:
Both WS and Achebe are two of Africa's greatest writers. However, WS is arguably the greatest African writer living and dead.

OasisX:




I don break mine into several pieces already. We no go patronise them again. Verve and mastercard are better alternatives.

larride:
Your 2nd and 3rd point is what is causing most farmers and herdsmen clashes.

The govt should just go ahead and create the cattle settlement and move all the cattle herders there where they pay certain charges for use of the settlement.

izzou:


Verve ke?

OasisX:




Wetin do am bro?!

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.

izzou:


Verve is a better alternative to Visa?

Verve that some local payment platform never dey accept.

Is it that Verve?

Nostradamus1:
I have a nice rebuttal for this. I will search for it.


Have you wondered why Things Fall Apart is rated higher by many Nigerians than any Soyinka's book.


NB:The above statement is not a widely recognized fact. It was a product of several small experiments carried out by me and my group with a possibly biased sample group.

DeadPresidents:


Saka Zimbabwe

izzou:


Verve is a better alternative to Visa?

Verve that some local payment platform never dey accept.

Is it that Verve?

OasisX:




We go manage am like that. We are boycotting VISA henceforth bruh.

Who is "we"?

Cattle ownership has been an individual thing for long its not centralized. If you want to centralize it that means you will tell all cattle owners in a state or LGA to move to a central space,

Will all Cattle rearers in say Jigawa state move to once central location or different LGAs will have their own settlements
From there who will be feeding them? Will the grass in that place be enough to feed or they will be buying grass

If Buying grass, then from where? If govt will be providing grass then will the owners be paying and those that cannot pay how will they run their business

There are multiple layers to these problems and I don't know a solution for now

airmark:



Probably many Nigerians must have rated Okocha higher than George Weah too. We know who was awarded the best player in the world between them.

OasisX:


Ìyàwó Gbadebo..... LMFAO! Well na format las las.

Theflint1:
Everything na format

larride:


We’ll remind her and her husband again in 2027

larride:


Yes they should move into a centralized space and get all their cattle identified.

We can’t keep having issues where herdsmen trespass on people farms to feed their cattles and then maim the farmers because they stop them from laying waste to their farms in the name of feeding their cattle.

Create a cattle settlement and make it mandatory for every cattle rearer to register and herd their cattles in this settlements. The govt will provide the grass and water while the owners of the cattle pay for using the settlement.
