Guy you no see de link with the books/illustration? Abi ur eyes de ur anus? Open the butt cheek so that you can see clearly, Afonja.

Last I checked, Charly boy is over 70 and neither did he address Soyinka as a fool.
Yeah, it is easy for you to address people greater than you as fools or say they are stupid. Obviously, if they are as you say, it means you are the opposite right? You are smart and wise abi?
Anyway as I always say, Nigerians have "mouth". Only in Nigeria will you see a poor man trekking pass a mansion and then say the owner does not have taste, that if the owner had consulted him, he could have adviced him on a better design. Only in Nigeria will you see millionaires discussing business, a job seeker will put mouth to advice them on how to make money.
You that only recently applied for a job as a customercare staff in a mushroom company on the outskirts of Lagos is the same person addressing people obviously more than you as "fools" and "stupid". You really have mouth.

Gajagojo:

Those who know better than me gave Soyinka the Nobel prize
He was the first since then others have won it. from Egypt and South Africa
Achebe was just not good enough


You do not know the difference between a playwright and a novelist
Honestly
You should keep quiet

greenandy:


Rational thinking is that a Yoruba was president of Nigeria between 1999-2007, therefore, a Yoruba cannot be president of Nigeria for the 2nd time before an Igbo becomes president of Nigeria. Even an Arewa person will tell you that. Rational thinking Yorubas have been telling this to you Tinubuidiots. Any other argument you provide to the contrary is roguish.
Since 1999, Nigeria's integrity has been sustained by rotation of the presidency between the north and the southern regions of Nigeria.

Someone won a Noble Prize in literature, then I asked you to mentioned just one of his work that can compete with the work of someone that did not win the prize.

Instead of that, you keep repeating that he won the Nobel prize. Does it mean that Soyinka's books are so bad that you are ashamed of mentioning any of them.

Can and make investigations and see how the process leading to the award of Nobel prize has long been corrupted.

Authors who criticise the western nations are always denied the award. Russian and Chinese authors are also denied. Hence for an African author to win the award, he has to lick the ass of the western nations.

Hence Achebe can never be given the award because he expose the actrocities committed by these western nations in Africa as they tried to suppress our culture and values.

Hence if you really want us to compare Achebe' and Soyinka, forget the white man's award and let's discuss the intellectual contents of their books.

Mention one of Soyinka book that can compete with either Things fall Apart or the Arrow of God?

Spandau:


😆😆😆😆😆 Honestly dude, you're delusional.

maestroferddi:
The problem is not Achebe but you who obviously doesn't read extensively....

It is like the saying in football....A team is as good as its latest match...

Soyinka is culpable for not being circumspect enough before mortally harming his reputation with an insanely insensitive and partisan interview...

He ought to have known better....

sangresan:



Na book for school kids in Africa. No dey deceive yourself. How many Europeans know Chinua Achebe?

Soyinka doesn't use VISA to enter many countries as a Nobel prize winner. His face na him recognition.

Gajagojo:

Typical uncultured fascist
No manners , uncivilized and unintelligent
Literature is not for traders
Keep your homosexuality away from me please

MikeofAfrica:


Says someone that has lost an argument hence decided to make himself happy.

The fact remains that Achebe is the father of African literature.

Chinmamada Adiche is stepping into his shoe. When the yorubas get a successor to Soyinka, I will grant you audience again

Rimbaldi:



They have given this one new vocabularies for the year. Bigot, fascist, uncultured, unlettered bla bla bla. Words and phrases that were never in your lexicon. You guys just throw words around simply because your slave masters used them, yet you don't know the meaning or its contextual use.
The same leaders you are fighting for eat from the same plate, while you downtrodden masses fight each other. Barrel and crab mentality.

ashebe went to his grave bitter, angry and frustrated because he never achieved the ultimate goal to stand on that stage to receive the Nobel.

DriveByKiller:
attack Charlie the confused gay but do not speak of the dead I'm dispresct, you soulless, cultureless fool.

babtoundey:


You have a faulty comprehension. Or probably the bigotry in you represses your thinking capacity. Or maybe it is the syndrome of victim mentality that has done you in.

You could be somewhere shinning your teeth and cheering him when your Charley god was villifying another man for holding a contrary opinion. You blocked your reasonings when your ilks were posinoning social space with their toxicity. When the table is turned, you became the preacher of sanity.

Go ahead and name that mushroom company to complete your foolery.

Hedonini:
Of course. I lost respect for the old fool the moment I discerned that he was just another rodent in Tinubu's cookie room. The idiot whose voice of condemnation was very loud against the Jonathan administration somehow retreated into his shell and became deaf and dumb throughout Buhari's disastrous 8 years of sorrow.

Now after a sham election has supposedly produced a bloody thief and drug baron as president, the useless Soyinka has found his voice again, not in condemnation of the election or of the disreputable criminal that was dubiously pronounced winner, but against the people yearning for a change. Obedients are repugnant fascists and he is ready to do a debate with Datti, but he conveniently has nothing to say about INEC, Tinubu, and the APC. This is the final straw.

LegendHero:
Achebe died an envious unfulfilled man and legend has it that envy for Wole Soyinka contributed to his death.

Why I love God is that he always make Yoruba triumph, we have bested the Ibos in all strata of achievement if we go head to head.

Below is Prof. Wole Soyinka telling the world how embarrassed he was on the kind of envy and hatred Achebe showed when he won the Nobel Laureate.

Soyinka is more of just a writer, he is an icon. A million Achebe can not measure up to him.

babtoundey:

Achebe was great. In fact, very great. But he couldn't achieve half of what Soyinka achieves in their line of business. Only an idiot would compare both of them.

Creeper:


What’s sad is that the overwhelming majority of them didn’t watch the 1hr 22mins interview Prof. Wole Soyinka did. If they did, the interview on YouTube won’t have just 55k views. Interestingly, they have made over 10 million comments about the interview. Isn’t that lunacy?

Soyinka attacked FFK and the violence/ethnic-profiling in Lagos with the same language (fascist behaviour) - the same way he attacked Datti and Obidients in the interview. However, Igbos are the ones throwing their toys out of the pram and crying all over SM whilst denigrating the man.

This is the same man that spent 3 yrs in solitary confinement because of Igbos. And it shows you how much of an ingrate Igbos are as a people.

You’d have to be sad dolt to support anything Igbo because once you disagree with them, even after risking your life for them, it’s open season on you.

Vinnie2000:

*Derailing of Trains
*Owo Massacre of Christians
*Deborah Samuel's painful murder
*ASUU Eight months Strike
*Naira Redesign wahala
*Fake Bishops
*MC Oluomo's threats to Igbos
*Presidential Election
*Governorship Election

Wole Soyinka KEPT MUTE in ALL these grave Issues ravaging Nigeria,

Only to wake up and Focus his energy on Datti/LP/.

Is this NOT madness, Honestly? 😕

Gajagojo:

Not interested in homosexuals
Can you go away.
