Bridget95: Just because you don't know much about it doesn't mean everyone is going to be like you, I once came across a podcast of Things fall apart on U Tube and the criticism and feedback was totally awful, 80% of the people that dropped a feedback complained about how the book was boring and how it was force down their throats in their respective schools in Europe but that doesn't mean the book was Bad. Soyinka is recognize in Europe and even won an European Prize for Literature. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wole_Soyinka Just because Chinua Achebe books are popular doesn't mean everyone like his books and this is not about Popularity, if the Nobel Laurette was base on Popularity then thousands of writers all over the world would have win the Prize 15 Likes |

I thought Reno was smart. He should go learn about the categories that made Wole Soyinka a better writer. It's not about 'o the book sweet' . 3 Likes |

Achebe is the most read, the most translated African author of all times. Not even the Nobel can confer that on you. Soyinka was a great writer too and definitely deserved the Nobel. 3 Likes |

BuhariAdvocate:How can someone like you reeking of intellectual ineptitude describe Achebe as half baked? Your angst should be towards Reno and not a global heavyweight like Achebe, whose work remains one of the greatest reference points of West African colonization by Europe. Dingbat. 1 Like 1 Share |
