You know nothing little boy. Stop barking. You're a pawn and pawns shouldn't talk much. If I have to impersonate, I'll do that for the likes of Zuckerberg. But continue disgracing your family. As if you'll have this balls if this wasn't a faceless forum.

How would you know? You only know dogs. It's like you joined recently. It's still exciting you abi? The old dogs are quiet because they hate remembering their wasted years. You're not even a sea dog. Probably a lover. Poor you. Come and join ogboni. Bring your family along. Help your destiny.

I still admire you.
Thanks for your literary works,
Thanks for your nonconformism
Thanks for the SeaDogs
Thanks for speaking up against oppression.

Happy birthday and many more years sir!
Not everyone happens to be a bitter, ethnic bigot like you, you know.. tongue tongue tongue

Soyinka fully deserved the Nobel prize he got, and Achecbe should have gotten one as well.

BTW, who says Nigeria should be limited to only one Nobel Laureate huh Why not two or three?

In your quest to become famous on Nairaland, you keep pulling all sort of stupid stunts.

Wetin dey worry you Igbo people sef, must you compare him with Achebe, he has a Nobel Laureate prize your Achebe doesnt have, so tell me who the world recognizes the most?

serously.

Igbo too dey feel inferior.

we will be talking about wole soyinka,they will drag achebe into it.

we will be talking about lagos and ogun,they will drag anambra pictures into it or declare they are not yoruba land or that they developed them.

THE price is nobel prize for LITERATURE not for PROSE OR THINGS FALL APART.Achebe write only prose and poem.Wole write poem,prose and drama and even act and direct on theatre.The oyinbos know what they are doing.

Alright so, you know what your problem is? Education and exposure. Basically, in your minds because you had a poor excuse for an education, it has completely stunted your mental and psychological development. The funny thing is you will still stand up to be counted if asked if you did go to one. The second problem is exposure. You have been so imbibed into the archaic norm in Nigeria that normalcy is alien to you. What is normal is absurd in your small minds. I was a member of a fraternity in college. It was a collection of like minded students who had the same goals and ideals and we worked together to achieve it. Guess what? we never killed nor harassed anyone. In fact it was thing of pride to be part of our fraternity so much so the every male student wanted to be part of it. Now, like i said before, Soyinka thought he was dealing with human beings not knowing that in fact a huge percentage of Nigerians in Nigeria are basically bloodthirsty animals. He saw the good fraternities did in the civilized societies and thought he could bring such ideas to the animals in Nigeria. That is where he failed. Animals like yourselves don't know what is good for you. You prefer to live, eat and breed in ignorance and squalor. Hence the dilemma you find yourselves. How is it possible that what works in normal society becomes an abomination in that zoo you call a country?

Bro, this is a public forum so pls let's try and be civil. I can tell you're educated so I expect you to be able to dig out information on things you know nothing about. Go to NAS official website and read about the confraternity.

You probably might be judging NAS based on what you saw during your university days but I assure you that those on your university campus are illegals and NAS has nothing to do with them. I've said enough but pls, research on your own and be properly informed.

So it's this one you have been typing since that time? Ok. Let's start. You belonged in a fraternity. There was no killing and harassment. Who cares? We're talking about the fraternities here and their origin. Your problem is myopia. Have you really run things in a Nigerian university? I see kids just try to glorify stuff and I laugh. We grew inside fraternities and schooled inside them. You're a slowpoke if you try to justify the creation of pyrates confraternity and try to claim they started a good thing and people evil 'Nigerians' spoiled it. It was never good from the start. It's this same sugar-coating bullshit that has led so many young ones down that path with vain meaningless words spewed. Captain blood can try to launder his image to ignorant peeps determined to try to wash someone's name to be spotless. But not me. In what world does one emulate fraternities like Alpha Sigma Epsilon by creating something called Pyrates? Seriously? Pirate? And those bullshit spewed about fighting for equality? The image may have been laundered to the public by withdrawal from campuses and claiming not to be a cult. But you are an idiot for implying that Nigerians spoil everything while you and soyinka are Nigerians too. Now that the rest cults have gone haywire on campuses and streets, the pyrates are claiming angels. Now I've pretended like you're sensible. Back to troll mode. Now bark for me dog.
