She is their best striker. She can pick any team in Europe to join including Lyon. Barcelona needs her more than she needs Barcelona. That is the fact and that is why her opinion matters. |

BRATISLAVA: says he was running from excommunication he brought upon himself by being polygamous. He founded a colony and his colony decided to be a pest to their hosts by talking against crime. How can you go to a place and fight its inhabitants? Fake religion seeking glory. They probably thought they would get a medal. How is it wrong to speak against crime? Their mistake was believing that Mexico had any sanity. 5 Likes |

Personally, I really don't see the big deal with logos. Build a great product and your logo is set, imho. If Steve jobs had been holidaying in some vineyard in France, we would be calling the company grape today. I doubt if any thought or significant investment went into the logos of intel, Honda Mercedes or BMW. Build your product and the world will beat a path to your door. A fancy logo is just the icing on the cake. My own opinion. Shut the hell up. Bitter hateful element. I would expect that by now when you see an innoson thread, you would piss off. But NA lie.

BluntBoy:
Influential is subjective too.
And even the greatness of scientific discoveries are subjective as well. One person might feel that one discovery is more relevant than the other, which may not necessarily be so.
Only Igbos have problems with the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature. Go to the Nobel website and you would see that even though the Nobel Prize has generated controversies with some writers that they gave the Prizes to, no one had a problem with Soyinka getting it in 1986.
The Nobel Prize in Literature had been Eurocentric until 1986, and in 1986, the Committee decided to open up the prize to writers from other continents. The Committee unanimously agreed on Soyinka. In some instances, they fight over choices. But in the case of Soyinka, they all agreed that as at that time, he was the most relevant nonEuropean writer.
There is nothing subjective about being influential. Achebe is more popular than Soyinka in the world on the basis of literature. He is the most translated African author of all times. What is subjective about that? The Nobel is just one award. I don't understand your obsession with it. It is probably because that is your only claim to influence for Soyinka. Achebe won other numerous literary awards. 1 Like |

Let me break it down for you.
Chinua Achebe's books are studied in secondary schools, whilst Wole Soyinka's books, even by nature of their complexity, are studied as Ph.D treatise. In your dreams. Go to any arts faculty in any university in the western world and see if you would not find Achebe among the recommended text. On the other hand, Soyinka books as good as they are, are studied in Nigeria only, if they are studied at all. 1 Like |

List ten Nobel laureates that are influential than chinua Achebe till date. I hope you know art is subjective. We are not talking about science here. We are talking a very subjective area like arts. The Nobel committee in their subjective opinion gave Soyinka a Nobel in arts. There are other top literary awards that Soyinka did not and will never win. It is subjective.
