Can we also see soyinka's House? undecided

I'd love to see how his home and its surrounding neighbourhood looks like cool

Can any RoNu oblige me? grin

NOTE: I remember he cried out about fulani herdsmen attacking his farm and stuff at his backyard that year sad . . . So it's perfectly okay to show us the forests and bushes around his home too. It won't surprise us one bit wink

A massive spillover of Onitsha expansion has swallowed Ogidi. Many towns are now part of the great Onitsha megacity
Meanwhile Obi of Onitsha is also Achebe, can anybody show us any Achebe from Benin?

Honour the challenge.

Soyinka vs Achebe. A good comparison thread for it.

You think it's by writing to sweet talk to the colonialist? Or by betraying the agreement to sabotage mere award from the oppressors and taking the award?

Nah!. Literature is heart. You write blunt, you maintain integrity!!

Shut up
You are ignorant.
Building materials consist of all you mentioned.
Companies distribute to retailers.
Manufacturing does not involve selling to consumers but retailers
Retailers are those in that market.

Once again keep shut
