Shut the fûck up man. Because you do not have the mental capability to grab what he writes doesn't make him what you described.
Daddy's books are meant for the intellectuals..
Only in his books will you find words that has smell and colour


That doesn't in anyway save Soyinka rather you added to his burden of problems as someone that is more of politics and writing what the whites thought him..


He made English language a jest and if not for other writers the likes of him would have ridiculed literature in Africa and place the subject to Nothingness.



I doubt if he is normal while writing..

I doubt if you will be able to achieve a quarter of what Kongi has achieved in your life time OP. So why the hatred?

Could it be because Achebe was not honoured with a novel prize and Kongi was?

Hatred is your soulmate OP.

Did I mention Achebe in my post or did I attach Soyinka Nobel prize to my post..

Moreover, winning noble prize doesn't make one the asiwaju of African literature...



Maybe the person u r defending is writing with pain and not confidence.

you have been searched out and exposed. Your opinion is inconsequential. you have the disease of both hatred and envy in your heart and it looks incurable.

Achebe's (during his lifetime)animosity towards Kongi was actually amusing, which people generally knew about and it destroyed his soul, why tow that path. If I were you, I'd rather take the position of a spectator.

You can't take it away from the two guys that they are both great names in the literature world so hail them both rather than disparaging any one of them cos of your tribal tendencies.... no one is perfect nigga.

Soyinka is more of politics while achebe is true to his pen.


Bringing achebe in comparison to Soyinka is an Insult to the late sage of blessed memory.


By the time Achebe and his Co were leaving higher institution that was when the likes of Soyinka entered the system with cultism..

Only a dumb African put more worth on the so-called Nobel Prize which has become a tool of oppression. People from solid countries have out rightly rejected the crap. I know that Achebe would have equally trashed it.

Not only that, Achebe honorably rejects that of nigerian Government also.

He is sage, you know.


I once argued that achebe should be addressed as Osagyefo Professor Chinua Achebe..

You are right, but no one has the mental capacity to grab what he writes, neither Soyinka himself or mental capacity itself.
That is why the whites gave him Nobel Laurette. Even they couldn't grab what he was writing, and that fact alone was worth a nobel Laurette.

The so-called Nobel Prize was a joke and oppressive tool. After Chinua Achebe critical response to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness in 1977 as idiotic display of racism, the committee of so-called Nobel Prize whose father of racism in Joseph Conrad has been hammered by Achebe turned around in 1986 and awarded Nobel Prize in literature to a playwright named Wole Soyinka as a slight against Chinua Achebe. It very funny nobody outside Yari.ba land knows Wole Soyinka as writer talk less a novelist.

Envy and tribalism is a disease of the soul. Purge yourself from it first before I can take your words seriously.

There is no envious or tribal disease in my response. Nobel Prize is not the end point of the world as many folks have dropped the Nobel Prize into the trash can.

Ignoramus quoting ignorance. Chinua Achebe is a good writer but never had what it takes to be a nobel laureatte.
Check the criteria for nobel in literature and see for yourself that Achebe only had one out of three.
No doubt that apart from ignorance, you still battle with hate stemmed from tribalism.

Let me also add that when Soyinka won the award, so many people from different countries came to him to ask what they could do to win the award?
It looked more like a joke to him as he laughed. The award isn't politics.
You earn it. Achebe can never win it.
