Sergio103: Chinua Achebe is infact the definition of BLUNT. His thoughts and expressions in writing are indeed BLUNT. When you read the words of truth below in his book, 'THERE WAS A COUNTRY', emphasis on the red highlight. He wrote, โI will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.[color=#990000][/color]โ That is how BLUNT Achebe was. 25 Likes 4 Shares |

XerXers:Really ? ๐ you are very Ignorant! Mention one drama or play written by ACHEBE Mention one of his plays acted by him?...or a song written by him? Achebe is not a literature person he is just a bestseller writer! Soyinka writes poems,plays,dramas,prose,acted,direct plays ..he excelled in all fields...he is a literature personified like Shakespeare Na ACHEBE and CHINAMANDA ADICHIE day the same categories..bestsellers! By the way,which award did ACHEBE reject apart from CON or whatever of Nigeria. He received many prizes but died wishing he won a nobel prize,but he is not prolific enough to win it,he was just a bestseller. Meanwhile ....don't forget your assignment:MENTION ONE DRAMA OR PLAY WRITTEN BY ACHEBE! 17 Likes 5 Shares |

hafeeanubasy:I don't even understand your point, Achebe is far more prolific than Soyinka. Things fall apart alone swallow all Soyinka works and it was acted long before anybody know Soyinka. He didn't write play and drama so he is not a literature person? You go school at all 39 Likes 7 Shares |

hafeeanubasy:I'm disappointed in you. You should've matured more than this. You see someone that ignorant, and you pitch a tent with him, wallowing together. Have you seen anyone with brain ever talk down on NPโthe most coveted and prestigious award in the world, historically? Don't you know what a noble prize is? You think it's because of his hair that Soyinka is revered worldwide? No! It's because of something you associate only with people the calibre of Einstein/mother Theresa/Luther King, and so on. Something so great it's the ambition of anyone who ever attend a school. It's only people who's contributed to humanity who ever own it, money don't buy it. Intelligence don't but it; only the gifted, genius get it. Something even the white men struggle all their lives chasing yet never get. Something that contribute to humanity in a reputable way, not all of us can do it. It's so great only 7 people have done it Africa, despite the >3000 tribes we have. It is wrong to expect an Igbo man or just anyone to have it for the sake, because it's for only geniuses, who're very scarce around. It finds you, you don't really find it You wouldn't pass through a field and escape these people in their respective fields unless you never attend a school all your life. But here's Xerxers, someone who wasn't even blessed with brain sound enough to recognize substance. Existence doesn't mean anymore to him than wake, eat, sleep, procreate, and look for who to hate among other tribesโmundane and trivial things rock his world. And you decide to argue this with him? Why? 19 Likes 3 Shares |

XerXers: Pls Nobel prize for literature is not a useless award. Calling it a useless award is an insult to all creative writers worldwide. I'm not here to join the useless banters going on here, but pls kindly note that it is the dream of every writer all over the world to be a Nobel prize winner. It is like the ballon d'or for footballers, Oscars for actors or Grammy for musicians. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

kettykin If this is ogidi , then ogidi is almost at par with some state capitals. I am really fascinated with this level of development of ogidi without much noise ... Ogidi really has people If you are fascinated about this little development you see in ogidi then it means you've not been to anambra state before. My town obosi is more development than many places in lagos. 10 Likes 1 Share |
