sweetgala: It's really plain stupidity. I watch them post these pictures all over the place and just smh. Tribal marks were once a part of the culture and nothing to be ashamed of as at the time it was done. Most of the things we degrade ourselves over are what defined us in the past. 2 Likes 1 Share |

kitaatita: None of the writers you mentioned was more cultural in their work as Soyinka. And talking about Cyprian, he was the most diverse of Igbo writers. His books dealt with different cultures, one at a time, not just Igbo culture. 1 Like |

LordOfNaira: Nelson Osondu won it in 2009 but as it stands Afonjas are still leading 2-1. Awo's education policy covered literature, a noble prize in Literature by kongi, says it all. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nigeria’s Rotimi Babatunde won the 2012 prize for his
short story entitled ‘ Bombay's Republic ’ from 'Mirabilia
Review' Vol. 3.9 (Lagos, 2011). Chair of Judges,
Bernardine Evaristo, MBE, described it as “ambitious,
darkly humorous and in soaring, scorching prose exposes
the exploitative nature of the colonial project and the
psychology of independence”. 2010 Olufemi Terry Sierra Leone’s Olufemi Terry has won the 2010 Caine Prize for African Writing, described as Africa’s leading literary award, for 'Stickfighting Days' from Chimurenga vol 12/13, Cape Town. The Chair of Judges, The Economist’s Literary Editor Fiammetta Rocco described it as “ambitious, brave and hugely imaginative, Olufemi Terry’s ‘Stickfighting Days’ presents a heroic culture that is Homeric in its scale and conception. The execution of this story is so tight and the presentation so cinematic.” 3 Likes |

Nigeria’s Tope Folarin won the 2013 prize for his short
story entitled ‘ Miracle ’ from Transition, Issue 109
(Bloomington, 2012). ‘Miracle’ is a story set in Texas in an
evangelical Nigerian church where the congregation has
gathered to witness the healing powers of a blind pastor-
prophet. Religion and the gullibility of those caught in the
deceit that sometimes comes with faith rise to the surface
as a young boy volunteers to be healed. Nigeria's Segun Afolabi won the 2005 prize for“Monday Morning” from Wasafiri , published in 2004. His work also includes A Life Elsewhere, a collection of 17 short stories published in July 2006 and a novel Goodbye Lucille , published in April 2007 by Jonathan Cape. His stories have been published in various literary journals including Granta, the London Magazine and Wasafiri. 1 Like |
