Lol, this is hilarious.

1. Abdulrazak Gurnah never made that statement.

2. This is what Ngugi wa Thiong'O said about Prof. Wole Soyinka:

“A writer and public intellectual, who has voiced his concerns over major happenings in different parts of the continent over the last fifty years and more, Soyinka has become the moral and democratic conscience of Africa”.

3. When Black Orpheus was formed, no one knew it was a CIA project in their fight against communism, and it was just similar to all the American NGOs and Financial aids projects the US currently has in Nigeria (which are also CIA projects) - including the ones funding Rinu Oduala and Aisha Yesufu.

Rinu Oduala and Aisha Yesufu, the leaders of the Obidients project, are actually CIA babies hence they’re both in DC now. I saw a picture of Rinu in the White House last week - a picture worth a thousand words.

And Prof. Wole Soyinka wasn’t the only student who worked for Black Orpheus - Christopher Okigbo (arguably the most talented Igbo writer ever) was also part of the project.

I’m sorry, Igbos need to give up. Achebe just wasn’t talented enough to win the apex award in literature. And Chimamanda is pedestrian at best.

Soyinka won it due to his greatness and versatility. And he’s more anti-colonial than Achebe ever was and you can search YouTube for videos of what he said about British people.
A cultist and CIA mole better than Achebe?!
Did Achebe take any appointment or award from any Nigerian government?!
Soyinka knows his place, Achebe has gone to his place.

Hello.

If you have a covenant of backwardness with any deity let me know.

Dude, calm down. I don't recall abusing you. Yet, you have to suddenly abuse me.

Better calm down. THis is a site, not your life.

For me. He will do it.

You must first live a clean life to build a clean society

I heard the same thing from Buhari and GEJ supporters, and far back Obasanjo supporters....and they were all bitter later on.

Good governance is more than looking for perfect leader. Like I said, we too as followers got work to do.

Men and women are flawed beings, and I am the chief of all flawed beings. That's why I don't think that any man can do a good job. There is no saviour in politics. There is people , a group of people, working within the system to make it better.

One of my favourite parables by Jesus was about the woman who called on a judge who did not respect God or man. She pestered him until he looked into her case. In your mind, you would have wanted the woman to wait for the perfect judge to come and take over....well she go wait tire.

We have people like Tinubu ruling us because we don't want to work with what he have. Instead, we are looking for a Saviour. Well, some people thought it was Buhari. Eight years later he gave us a worse economy, and then dashed us Tinubu.

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.
change that obedient to igbo

Their are old newspapers and Soyinka isn't with them
And he told me : he deals with the whitemen that those I mentioned are African writers, and I pondered it and left it 1987-1997-2007-2017 and now 2023 my uncle's answer is explained to me, though he died in may 1994.. nothing is hidden .

Oga bring rebuttal. Don't attack the messenger.

Respect or not. Did he betray the African course for total recognition in literature.

Why does the book have to be written in pro Western ideology.

He got it already. Explain that

Very good question you asked here, I have noticed something about these guys attacking you, when you present facts to them and they have no response they start throwing tribal or political attacks just to take you away from the main objective, just keep hammering the question you asked that is about the main issue and watch them flee.

Most of them have nothing to discuss aside from tribal and political insults....

Just always stay on course....

Why conclude the writer was Igbo? What do you mean by 'Must you ALL Igbos...' in your comment? Was that necessary if you harbour no resentment for a whole tribe? Last time I checked, it was a Yorubaman that vowed to go on exile if Tinubu won the election. What can be more emotional than that?

I ask again, what made you believe that only igbos are not happy with the outcome of the elections or supporting Obi if not blind hate?

Wole was a cultist.

I won't be surprised if he was also a murderer



lemme school your ignorant, the 1st people to antagonize Tinubu where pyrates igbo extraction ... remember baba wey no well dey shout emi lokan
When obedient and Peter Obi were basking on the rythme of that song it was Wole soyinka that stood to caution them & restore sanity.

Do Igbos not kill our policemen and kill Nigeria, when will Peter obi condemn IPob

Every monday people are ordered to sit at home, when will chimamanda write letter to joe biden to come free her people

When will igbos in UK/US start a protest against IPOB at the embassies ... Igbos are causing mayhem in the east and the only letter that goes out of East is either against Nigeria, Tinubu or Mc oluomo.

Bro until you bring a rebuttal this is nothing but the truth.

No whitewashing.

If you investigate this thoroughly then you will see that the evidences are so glaring.

The Royal academy discriminated against Africans.

That is why I love Chinua Achebe. He deserved it but due to his die hard anti colonialist tendencies they shaved him off.

Not only him but others.

At a point Wole Soyinka said Achebe was jealous.

Nah he was raged because you betrayed African writers

What evidence did the Op bring, a Twitter post?

Is that your evidence.

This is nothing but hideous propaganda cooked up from an ipob kitchen.
