You should write an overrated book too.

Omo , I don't need to write any book before I can constructively criticize any author.
If you have girlfriend ,I can manage that of yours. lol

kennybabs1980:

lexan1:
To be honest, wole soyinka's books are overrated, i'm not hating, i'm just saying Nigerians should really read books to know that his books are overrated

Do yu knw Yoi are talking about not just a professor but also a Nobel laurette ........of literature
See who deh talk which one yu dan write.... infact how many of his books have you read..... personally I have read and written a lot of book reviews and Thesis ..... and I can authoritatively tell you just writing a review of Prof Wole shoyinka's book is enough to give you a Master of English Certificate......

Thank God he is alive to experience denial. He contributed to the downfall of GEJ. He is reaping what he sowed.

No! It's BLACKOPHOBIA

Hahahaha....the fear of black diamond

the best brains in the world of literature have always praised his works. Personally, I found some of his works a bit bland. Buh there's no doubt they were fantastic works of art. Especially his plays and poems. Overrated? Definitely no! Underrated? Probably yes!
Most Nigerians can't even mention 10 of his works without consulting google.....

Thank Yu Brooo....
The problem is frm our education system...majority of our Students graduate without any sense literature..... personally I am a Science student *medicine to b precise* buh I was opportuned to Delve deeply into literature *when I say deeply I mean very veRy deep* The world of literature judges a literary work differently from the way a Lay man does.......We judge works based on LITERARY ELEMENTS .... I can testify many of Prof Soyinka works are very boring but this are due to the intricate.. complexities of literary elements intertwined in his works..... You need to read other books written specially to explain his works.....

BornnAgainChild:


Big lie,they did not ti ojoro bo anything,the truth is the earlier Wole Soyinka stops mixing poetrys with other dirth games his into like back end politics,the berra chances for him to be awarded next time

Eyah.....i can sense some undertone resentment,sorry sista he his a Nigerian just like you and me.

Gbam! Spot on

Its a matter of race. How can an outsider beat the son of the soil on his home ground? So a black man will be allowed to get more praise on English poetry?

[quote author=Maxymilliano post=34953977]Soyinka is more of a biase social commentator than a poet, thus the news doesn't come as a surprise ... LS

If u think so of him.....u need to get schooled....Hii polloi!]

You guys" are you lost ?

PappyMason:


Like the way you guys started a petition to prevent an Ivy league college in the US from honoring Ngozi.

I know this is where its all coming back to "igbo", this life isn't all about you peeps you'll do well to remember that. Best of luck with your little revenge and keep the trophy shining

Forwetinnah:


Carry your cross biko...its now a National issue because it's Wole?? If it was Achebe, you'll remember the tribe called Igbo

if that's what you think, then good luck getting that master of English cert, that means i'm hoping to see your name on the charts since you call your self a writer of book reviews and thesis...btw, let me tell you a good book, a good book isn't one that would entertain you, our age has surpassed that level, now we are in an age of reflection, if I can't read a book and wanna change, then it's not a good book, it's just as good as every other person's story...using too much English in a time when Nigerians weren't that literate to tell a story is just like serving a good mass in Latin to Christians who only understand igbo...

Akorede612:


Broz... am not sure u know literature.

Egbon... they needed 50 oxford grads... he got a 90.

superstar3:



How many unoverated books has your name as the author if I may ask?

if I may ask, can you repeat your question? And this time, no mistakes so I can understand what you are asking.

fineguy11:

You have sense

slap1:

You simply don't understand his cryptic use of words. I was like that, then I got better. I savour every sentence for him.

you got better in what? Use of English, understanding English?, or you got better at being more confused?

dokyOloye:
It's abt his style wc is unique.

Perfectly put

lexan1:

Let's say use of English, since it appears you have some catching up to do in that area.
