You are a shame to Nigeria, your ethnic group, your family, and to the whole world.

This case should be properly investigated just like Philip emeagwali was busted for his lies. Bunch of buttwipes !

EazyMoh:

Same way PSquare plagiarizes other artists.

These people sha. Their "business" is importing fake china goods. Why won't anything else be copy copy with them?

There is copyright in the translated version of a literary work. Most times the original author may assign that right to another person with an understanding. Nevertheless, even if permission was not obtained, Cyprain will still have copyright in the translated version because it satisfies the originality and fixation requirement albeit he might have infringed the original author's own copyright as well. This is not about plagiarism, he put efforts into translating it and the law recognizes that. It would be plagiarism if he reproduced it in Hausa.

I can decide to translate Shakespeare's works into Yoruba and make money off it and nobody will come after me.

farellstone:
It is a translation,not plagiarism,you can't just plagiarize in literary world without getting sanction for it.So this is not plagiarism.The same way Ola Rotimi rewrote Sophocles' Oedipus nd gave it another title"The gods are not to blame".so my point is, you can translate or rewrite another person's work,sometimes you will need to get permission from the writer or the publisher.

kindness4life:
Dear writer, I hope u did your home work very well before putting this up. Plagiarism is a serious crime and sensitive issue in the world of literature. Cyprian Ekwesi is a well respected writer as we all know. Why not find a way of contacting him maybe by email or something to hear his own side of the story before conclusions are made.

Fresia01:
Cyprian was a great writer....buh let me ask u...y are u crying more than d bereaved??

perojelly:
he did and he should be sued if he doesnt acknowledge d real source

Damjoy:


I doubt you understand what plagiarism means

MChaze25:

how much you wan buy am from me?

SIRTee15:


which Cyprian ekwensi will he contact.....
someone that died nine years ago

LikeJesus:
"Taking panadol for another person's headache ".

And it didn't occur to the OP that there probably must have been some kind of understanding between Cyprian Ekwensi and the original owner of the literary material?

Some people sha...
