SLAP44: He said a lot. Let me break it down for you. This is what Soyinka is saying. 1. That even the blind knows Achebe is literary genius. 2. That Reno's life is starved of feats and owing to this deprivation, Reno needs to stir up controversy to feel important. 3.That Achebe's legacy does not deserve needless controversy 3. And so does that of Soyinka a living literary legend. 4. So let Reno be fighting himself. When Soyinka was in school abroad, they were studying one of his works as part of the syllabus in the class he was in.... Now thats a feat. Not to talk of him being imprisoned by the Military junta in 1967 when he was accussed of collaboration in favour of Biafra. Reno should go and sit down. What does his small pikin know. 33 Likes 2 Shares |

Martinez39:That's where you all miss it. Achebe excelled at colourful writings and simplicity which makes his writings easy to read and comprehend for the average mind. Soyinka on the other hand explores figurative characters and employs technicality in his use of language which tends to become boring to the average reader. Hence, Achebe's work though captivating is easily dissected, while Soyinka's demands men of intelligence and understanding to decipher 34 Likes 2 Shares |

maestroferddi:How does all thesee epistle translate to the fact that Soyinka did not deserve his nobel prize? You think it was done in Nigeria where there could have been magomago. You idiotas need to give honour to whom it is due. Soyinka is a great writer and you should be happy that a Nigerian won a nobel prize for literature amids thousands of great writers. Rather than being happy and objective, you are filled with bitterness. I guess you know more than the organisation that awarded the prize. Why not direct your grievances to the right quatres? 22 Likes |

First, there is nothing outstanding about the above gammer, secondly, the 'Wolesoyinka' there is just an impostor. Wole is not on twitter. This thread should be deleted, it's a fake news. |
