inoki247: Oga. It's simple Was there a planned boycott or not. Was Chinua Achebe not deserving? Was Chinua Achebe an anti colonialist? Did Prof Wole Soyinka write against colonialist or tried to be pro Western. Was Ngungi shoved aside? Was his student given a Nobel prize when he despite deserving it was shoved aside. Prove these wrong. No time 1 Like 1 Share |

Dang, the bitterness on this thread is severe. Personally, I don't give a hoot for LP, PDP or APC, and Tinubu should have retired along with Atiku. Also, I believe Achebe should have got the Nobel in 2000 instead of the Chinese author they gave it to self But really, at the rate Obidients are going on this Soyinka matter, it is really really showing them as bitter and petty people. 8 Likes |

Creeper: Good points, but to be frank, Achebe was very talented enough to win it. He even came close in 2000, but lost to a relatively little known Chinese author. (Not hating, but Achebe should have won it). To be frank the Nobel Prize for lit is hit and run. (One year they even gave the singer Bob Dylan. Someone on the prize comittee was living his youth again, lol). Chiamanda might win it in due time tho. 1 Like |

Yugoslavia247: You politicians should give it a rest. At the end, if you want better government for Nigeria, start by realizing that even if Obi wins, there isn't much he can do. You still have to face your LG chairman, governor, commisioner, senator, who can do a lot more for you than anyone in Aso Rock. You could even run for political position self. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Olaoluwakiitan1:Abeg name what so special about Soyinka apart from winning noble prize. He won it once while Chimamanda won similar prize thrice and Igbos are not using her to insult others. Civilization is far from some of you. |

Yugoslavia247: He won't provide water for your house, or build roads in your village, or see if there are schools, or other things...that's the job of the state and local assembly and government for the most part. Also, Obi is not willing to take some hard decsions, like most Nigerian politicans. Anyway, for me, him, tinubu and atiku are all alike. Maybe you should run for office, do a better job than Peter Obi and Bola Thief-nubu. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Emperormartin: Thank you. No politician even as insane as Adamu Garba and Bashir amhad is they never used it. Why will a renowned and learned prof use it. Infact as a student of government it is even misuse of word. Benito Mussolini is just an example of fascist. Fascism really is more theoretical than practical just like communism. However we have society that have close similarities to them 1 Like 1 Share |

Yugoslavia247:during my young age around 1987 I found out great James ngugi of Kenya hated wole Soyinka . I saw him many times with Achehe and Camara laye but Soyinka is an odd man out.... Was it why they hated him ? After 35yrs I am finding this out . This is how we planned to chase out bad government but yorubas betrayed us with tribalism . An age long history stated no tribe mingle in war solidarity with them , for fear of betrayal which is wisdom to them from ancestors pass down to children ...so mysterious hmmmmmm 1 Like 1 Share |

Yugoslavia247: Water is for your state government, not Aso Rock Light...until you Nigerians are ready to pay a deregulated price, and stop chasing DISCO workers from their jobs, we won't have light. Schools...again, either we pay higher fees, or higher taxes, or we keep pretending that we can have world class at one tenth the price. Oil thefit....the communites have to realize it is wrong. Clean up memene? Anambra, does it run clean government ? better economy...we better remove subsides, stop practicing socialism, and we may get a better economy. |
